Tales of Vesperia confirmed for X360, North American release

[Kevassa]

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

I can guess the guy clone isnt permanent as he isnt in that pic?

This is really exciting...at first I wasn't caring too much about Vesperia, but now that I've read the article, Im almost tempted to want to buy an Xbox. Yuri is looking soo awesome....

I can guess the guy clone isnt permanent as he isnt in that pic?

He might be the 8th permanent character.... It's pretty rare that a Tales game will have an odd number of characters XDD But meh, who knows =/

[lonerurouni187]

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

LOL
Yeah, I love Fujishima's works but.....this is TOO uncanny.XD


SPOILER maybe*
Lets just hope his father isnt an angel betraying his only son[spoiler/] XPPP

Need an Xbox360.

That's some interesting stuff in the anime sequences.  I won't comment further on it because I'm not going to go into speculation mode right now.

Oh yeah, certain aspect of the theme song's music video reminds me of the music video to A-ha's "Take on Me."

[Kevassa]

I think the girl went super saiyan in one part of the song P.P

EDIT: MOreover, I think the pink haired girl will be the typical "maiden we need to rescue" type, or she goes berserk, either way she will be trapped somewhere, and she will be in problems, so Yuri rescues her...
I hope I am wrong, GOD please

Thats probably what going to happen. But to me she not the typical kinda girl that look like she need saving but if so then I call her Collet version 2.

Two new battle videos in horrible youtube quality:

I think I can hear Soryuu Rengazan. I hope it gets a new translation.

lolz, Extreme Stars. Estelle has a few oddly-named moves.
Not sure but ビアズクラスター =  Biaz Cluster? Maybe I'm imagining ten-ten marks, can't really tell with the vid quality.
レイスティング = ?

Reminds me of Colette's katakana tech names that Namco USA just gave up on and made up new names for.
パラライルティータ, レイシレーゼ, リミュエレイヤー, ルーンスティア, スティアフェンネル, ブランディス, レンジウィングル, ソルフェージュ...
Hopefully Estelle won't be as bad.

...2 more new character...

Hmm... that faceplate is meh. Judith looks like a man on it. Aside from Lloyd Jr., I like all the artwork on the page scan.

Interestingly, the battles in the ToS KoR trailer actually give me a better vibe than these youtube ToV ones. The KoR clips were probably cherry picked though. The ToV ones seem more like typical gameplay.

Dimentionalist posted this link in the Star Ocean 4 topic but it just happens to also has some things related to Tales of Vesperia.  Sorry, dude, I had to swipe the link from there and bring it to this topic.

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/880/880407p1.html

Some tidbits not mentioned yet:
*They're releasing a demo on Xbox Live sometime in June.  I'm not sure if North America will also get a demo.
*August 7th in Japan.  They still are going through with the near simultaneous release so August is when North America is getting the game.

I hope that North America gets a demo too.  I actually plan to download the demo and play that until I get the actual game!  Not to mention, I was hoping they would do the demo thing (not just because of what I want to do, but at least it's a chance to convince the Xbox fanbase to give it a try).  Now, I'm finally convinced on the release date that I feel good about preordering now.

The faceplate looks okay.  Could have been better.  I still want it, though (I've been saying how I want one throughout the topic, after all)!  I hope North America gets the faceplate too as a preorder bonus.  I even went out to read how to properly remove the faceplate (you know, without wrecking something related to the system, including the faceplate).

If I remember correctly there's some way you can make a Japanese XBL account and download stuff from the Japanese marketplace, including demos. I seem to remember people doing that with Eternal Sonata.
