Tales of Vesperia confirmed for X360, North American release

[Kevassa]

I think that "combo bar" you're talking about IS the OL bar; it's the only other bar around. XD  As for timing your combos.. it might be similar to FF Crystal Chronicles (if anyone has played that XD;;..) where rapidly mashing the attack button won't link the attacks.  You have to time it properly and press the attack button right when the first slash ends in order to combo.  I think it was like that in Eternia, but I dunno.  Haven't played it in like a year... =/

In eternia it wasnt like taht, but you had to do different types of sashes to combo with basic slashes

y hallo thar, tween lloyd in dashing red kerchief

[jajaswipo]

its young lloyd. Nice, time for some material blades

I thought the same, but that is just the portrait, the chara is not like lloyd... not what I have seen in the trailer AT LEAST

[Cyllya]

Huh, I never noticed him looking similar to Lloyd before. Like Kevassa said, the resemblance normally isn't that strong.

I remember them saying you could have four OL meters full at once. Do you suppose the party shares the meter?

[jajaswipo]

so no more material blades?

I guess we just gotta wait till they say what that big gauge is for, my bet it is taht is another "unison attack" gauge, or it could be the overlimits.. I dunno as I sayed we should wait and see

Another thing with these new tales coming, the story looks pretty good but they aren't like the old games, the characters kind of suck...

[Kajitani-Eizan]

at least with that camera angle, it seems like the information overlays are too intrusive. shouldn't they be closer to the edge of the screen, or smaller, or something? honestly, do we even need those gigantic opaque portraits? they're kind of ridiculous anyway... see luke or yuri's portrait, whenever they attack. additionally, the character animations look a bit awkward or something. seems like the characters are a bit more SD than they need to be, too... it works for sprites, but not for next-gen 3D, somehow.

... this is a non-team destiny game, right? i feel like i like team destiny's stuff way more than anyone else's stuff (well, other than tales of symphonia). i hope i'm not becoming a fanboy or something...

[Cless]

Dammit, I hate it when people point out problems I don't otherwise notice.

But yeah, the HUD for this game looks like it's adjusted for some crazy overscan. I have an LCD TV, and there's pretty much zero. Would be nice if they added a mode that moved things off to the edges a bit more.

So far 2D Tales = Team Destiny and 3D Tales = Team Symphonia. It's even true for some Tales games by neither team: Tempest, Radiant Mythology and Innocence have some Team Symphonia staffs (notably the battle designers) in the 'thank you' section while ND2 had the Team Destiny battle programmer Tatsuro Udo as advisor.

[Dimentionalist]

y halo thar two unnamed characters you can see in the lower right-hand corner of the second scan.

Love Rita's tech names.

[gyozilla]

I rest my case, but w/e.

[Cless Aileron]

Man, Rita's tech name is sure interesting!

I rest my case, but w/e.

I guess we're going to continue our little run on joke about Fujishima's recycling job.  I'll go ahead and continue, since I didn't get a chance to add my comment to the joke.

I take it Lloyd found the fountain of youth but I guess it made him too young.

> > in the trailer it didnt look that similar.. but now.. D: it is identical, maybe it is Lloyds stray child !!!

As yet unannounced characters visible here (top corner):

Does the blue-haired one have elf ears? Combine that with the big barriers around cities and I wonder if Vesperia's pretending to be set in Aselia so all the ToS fan's will definately buy it. :O
