She's armoured which is great, but yeah her design is way better than the male lead IMO.
Drill hair is a bit much though...

awww yiss.
If she plays off the male lead well, then they'll both work out great.
I don't mind the curls. It gives her personality.
The game looks promising so far. A friend of mine was saying that the field portion reminds him of Xenoblade. If they could capture even a fraction of the exploration in Xenoblade, that'd be pretty amazing.
An English release is probably pretty far off, though, so I'm going to file this away with Final Fantasy 15 for things to get excited about later.
Also, I hope the battles aren't seamless. Spell effects tend to suffer when that happens. The way spells looked in FFXII and even Xenoblade was pretty underwhelming. I think the whole seamless vs. nonseamless debate is moot if they can get battle transitions to be as quick as in Graces. It was amazing how instantaneous battle transitions were in that game. One of my favorite things about Tales games is the flashy battles, and I'd hate to see that toned down.

Just woke up ( or am i still dreaming ? )
This news and trailer is "Just as planned"
Music does remind me of xillia but it's not such a bad feelign , i don't mind this battle system and fighting dragon seems very enjoyable. ( as always ).
i ony need a release date and i'm set for importing .

Wait, only noticed the katakana just now. It's spelled アリーシャ (Ariisha) and not アリシア (Arishia), and the latter is used for my name (Alicia).
So my theory is that she's called Aleesha or Alisha or Arisha or something like that, without the extra "i" in it.
My Japanese teachers all write my name アリシア and that's also how, for example, Alicia Keys' name is officially spelled in Japanese.
tldr the female main character is probably not Alicia but Alisha or something like that.

The PS3 will never die.
Not a fan of their designs, look a tad...busy. Might just be me though.

I just hope she isn't put in a damsel role. That would be disappointing. We'll see a year from now though.
I was gonna say drill hair was too anime, but then I realized how stupid of a comment that is lol
He has a sword but mixes brawling with swordplay like Asbel. Wonder if they'll bring the style shift or something similar back?

He uses sword.
I can imagine something like having seamless battles (without transition screens and such), but whenever the battle starts a circular "area of battle" is created, limiting the player to certain area akin to the past games. Don't know if its technically possible, but that would stay true to the traditions and make it even faster. Just speculating though.
I am having the same problem. I don't see a sword at all there. Am I blind?
Another solution would be to make it cross-gen... like a lot of publishers are doing these days you know... Just sayin'.
I don't know exactly what I expected, but I'm glad it wasn't that.
I like his voice though.

So this is the last PS3 I'm going to buy... if we got a western release and it was after Persona 5.
2015 I think.
Anyway... looks very good

Is Sakuraba the composer again?
The trailer music does sound like something he usually does, which is a tad disappointing. I generally like his work, but somebody new could spice things too.

battle system looks interesting. don't care about the char. design.
Sounds like it. Maybe he'll change things up for this game like he did for Xillia. Would still like it if they got a new composer though.
Wow I would like that. In fact I enjoyed Graces battle system a lot and would be very happy if this one was somewhat close to it.
LOVE Alisha's design, the other guy not so much.
That would be an interesting way of doing things, and a nice compromise between the two. Hopefully they show more regarding the battle system soon.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
The fact alone that Kayano Ai is doing the voice of the female protagonist = instant purchase.

Ugh I really don't like the character designs. Can't we get something simple and maybe even badass like Yuri again.
Edit: But I do like the cloth flapping around in battle.

Another major JP developed game for the PS3.
Might as well delay the ps4 there, besides deep down there is nothing coming out for that market there.

Yakuza?
Damn. You nailed it.
I told you it could be Alisha!
Thanks! Updated!
Also, does the site say that the PV1 will be available 12/21?

Yes.
I'm glad you're rightnow watch them break katakana logic and still call her Alicia in the west
Yeah seems like it. At Jump Festa.
Also will we know who's working on the scenario before or after the game releases? If the guy who worked on Xillia 2 (Naoki Yamamoto) is as good as people say he is, would definitely like to see this game penned by him as well.

Another procedurally generated Tales game, I see. Couldn't be less excited about this, sadly. I wish it wasn't like that.

Lovin' Alicia. Not sold on Slay yet. I'm kind of getting tired of Tales protagonists having short dark hair.
Gameplay snippet looks fab!

these are the only direct feed shots I think, if you can call them that.
yeah, trailer 21th.
the color feels washed out....I guess they are using same engine as Xillia 1&2.
Thats a given.
