Dezel is the most likely traitor. His description as being different from the other Kamui plus Zaveid being a wind element Kamui and on the cover doesn't help Dezel's case. But I'm intrigued to find everything out, although I hope it's not all gonna be the easiest or most obvious answers.

Can we have a 3D Tales game not have a traitor for once? It ceases to be surprising if every game does it (it was never surprising to begin with).
 
Nope, that was $60. It only dropped to $40 in the last month.

Yep, and it re-used a lot of assets from Xillia 1 (which I was fine paying $60 for). If you were cynical, you might think they intended to launch at $60 just to capture the extra $20 from the pre-order DLC crowd, then immediately drop to $40.

Could be said that
Zelos
was also a traitor in Symphonia iirc.

I never really considered the Xillia 2 mentions to be qualified.
Julius is built up as a possible antagonist from the very start of the game only to end up helping Ludger as the game goes on. The party also knows Bisley is up to something from the start and only works for him out of necessity (and blackmail) rather than any sort of trust.
 
I've seen the cover, nice. Thankfully Alisha is not in the front, I'll be able to ignore the fact that she has bloomers instead of a full armor now lol.

I won't miss her as a main female lead either though. I like Rose design a lot more. Which weapons does she use? Two daggers? It look like it seeing her design (has something in her back that looks like two daggers / short swords).

Outside her design, the cover, and the high school costumes (which look good too) have I missed anything?

Tales of Xillia 2 was 40.

I bought it day one for 45€ because I found a decent deal, but it was definitely 60.

Still, considering how good it was I'd have gladly payed those 60 bucks.

Need to come back to do the side stuff.

I'd say that in Xillia 2
you are the traitor, not Bisley lol. You know what he wants since the moment he hires Ludger. And I wouldn't say Julius betrays you unless you count that he had been stealing his brother powers for years.

Outside that, yeah, I'd say you're so right it's funny. Fucking
Albin
being addicted to betraying people was terrible.

No PS4 version, no sale for me. Sorry, by summer of 2015 I'm not going to be paying $60 for a ps3 game.

You can always get Gozilla lol
 
Yeah I was thinking a few months ago that Dezel would more likely be a traitor than anyone else. Whether or not that's going to stick is another question entirely since all eight characters have special costumes or w/e.

About to say that lol. I Graces didn't hacve a traitor maybe de don'y get that clichehere either. I would love that.

IIRC Richard is the easiest one to guess because he was consumed with rage over his father's death and Cedric being douchebag, and so he was overtaken by Lambda. Arguably he was already fallen before returning to the throne. When Asbel started to disagree with Lambda Richard's actions, Richard felt slighted and lost his shit even more.

Maybe you could also say
Malik
though there wasn't any active maliciousness there

Do you know about the pre-order cameo mystic artes? Alisha gets Leia's, Mikleo has Loni's Final Prayer, and Lailah has Kongway's Silent End.

Yup. Kind of shitty move but as long as it doesn't affect gameplay (like those MA making a lot more damage than the originals) I don't care. They'll probably bundle them all together for the western release, I don't think they'll put retailer exclusive DLC.

As long as I don't have to pay if they release Savage Wolf Fury I don't care :P

I miss more the days where the games were packed with costumes and you didn't have to pay for them :(
 
One more thing.

There's more anime DLC costumes. This time, it's Blue Exorcist themed along with the already announced Evangelion costumes. I hate it when they announce anime/manga themed costumes because I know we'll never get them. ;_;
 
I feel like Alisha/Rose and Dezel/Zaveid will be some kind of story deviation, rather than killing off anyone or making them all join.

IDK, they've released several pictures with the whole cast together, including the token "cast peering off into the distance" picture. Those characters should switch at times, but I can see them all joining up at the end.

Also in the new scan, there are four new characters part of Rose's "Feather of Sekirei" guild. Not sure who they're designed by, but they look good.

Some recent pictures. Couple more at the link.

Hold up! Those screens look great!

LOVE the school costumes, too bad they'll cost like 20 bucks all together. I really hope that Sakuraba (or Go Shiina!) make another awesome school battle theme like the one in Xillia.
 
Game looks eh so far so I really do hope it ends up surprising on the story and gameplay department. Maybe I'm just a bit burnt out on Tales.

But from what is seen in the trailer I am not too ecstatic about this one. For how Xillia ran I really do wonder if they fixed anything about occasionally performance issues, some of the Artes really don't make it look like they did but as long as they don't slow down the game anymore it's gonna be alright I guess.
 
I definitely like the school outfits. They look great together, probably helps when you dress them all as students instead of some of them are students and some are teachers or staff.

The idol ones are kinda whatever. Not seeing the guys get any of them just makes them stand out. Even Hearts gave the guys idol outfits.

Gonna suck not getting the Blue Exorcist outfits though.
 
I've seen the cover, nice. Thankfully Alisha is not in the front, I'll be able to ignore the fact that she has bloomers instead of a full armor now lol.
I think I might be forced to buy a DLC costume to change her default clothing right away. Of all the characters, I really dislike her character design, mainly the bloomers...
 
Bandai Namco UK sent out a press release this morning. It's basically nothing but here it is:

TALES OF ZESTIRIA DETAILS ITS WORLD SETUP!

Tales of Zestiria goes back to its ancient roots: epic medieval fantasy! The amazing environments used in the latest game from the long-running series ‘TALES OF’ features castles and old towns, allowing players to freely explore incredible places!

From green valleys to spikey mountains and abandoned ruins, players will be transported on an adventure that will cover the whole continent of Glenwood. In his adventure, the main hero, Sorey, will cross path with the Hyland Kingdom army and will discover the fortified town of Pendroga, capital of the Rolance Empire.

Recent Tales of games had strayed from the medieval art style flowing on older releases. Since TALES OF XILLIA, the series veered into a darker territory, setting up the story in more modern times. Tales of Zestiria returns to the franchise’s DNA with clashing swords and a dynamic spell-casting that will surely satisfy all J-RPG & video-games fans!

Tales Of Zestiria will be available in 2015 for Europe, Middle-East and Australasia exclusively on PlayStation 3!
 
Although the Tales artstyle is getting more and more abrasive to me, those conversations still make me laugh.
Tetsuya Nomura, eat your heart out.

Did we know about the Sengoku Basara 4 collaboration in way of attachments? Capcom really can't afford anything. They need other companies to make money for them.

I think this was just announced. Disappointed it's just attachments though. Costumes would have been cooler and more hilarious.

Of course, we'll probably never see these in the west. Not like Capacom even knows what a Sengoku Basara is.

It would have been cool to have SB weapons and maybe a Kasuga costume. <.<

Capcom can't be expected to foot the bill for anything other than RE, so it's surprising we're getting DMC4SE. And, yeah, we'll never SB here again probably. Unless we beg Sony maybe.
