Wow thats rather surprising, I hope my ps3 can keep on keeping on through 2015, I guess.
Really? The only stupid protagonist name I can think of is Asbel.

I could not tell with the low quality trailer but, did he even use his sword? I see the sword sheath behind him but it looked more like he was using martial arts. We gonna see shift system again? hmm, would be happy if the system was closer to Graces.
I was kinda hoping we would get a spell caster main male character for once, but this guy looks interesting though....this announcement has motivated me to re start Xillia.

The hard drive got corrupted and had to reformat, it killed my tales buzz since I was half way done....time to go through those slow downs again.

What if Slay is his name for story reasons? Like he's a slayer of gods or something.

|OT| You're not fully Threi unless you're zestfully Slay
Fuck dat, too on the nose. I would be dying of a combination of cringe and laughter.

A little bland? Seriously the main male guy looks like Asbels brother.
It really is.

I can't believe it's already announced for localization. Soooo coooool!
But yeah, I agree that Slay makes no sense at all. lol Thray is still weird but at least it seems more like a name than Slay.
Wow. :lol
Wow. :lol

Then I'd laugh due to the sheer lack of creativity.

The guy's face reminds me of Skyward Sword Link
Girl just looks like every perky female character in a JRPG in the last 8 years
His Sakura Taisen designs are way better than the Tales stuff imho.

Normally I would think a name like Slay is stupid, but I'm not that bothered by it for some reason. Thray or some variation would be cooler but I'm still okay with the alternative.

And has been raiding Anise's closet.
He's into Slayer. Slayer to do the music confirmed.
Do you like Fayt Leingod as a name? Edge Maverick? That name is on a slightly higher level than those names.

Will this have a Graces style battle system or Xillia? The Graces battle system was perfect and even Baba acknowledged it was his favourite. Hope they keep away from TP.
Based on the dodge ability displayed on the trailer it seems to be more like Graces, but we know very little yet.
Edge Maverick is dumb but I like Fayt Leingod, it sounds cool.
While that kinda makes sense, a rough consistency in sound is ideal. I remember when playing Virtue's Last Reward the second time through with Japanese voice acting. Reading Clover but hearing Yotsuba was jarring as anything even if I knew they were the same thing.
If they do Dual Audio for future Tales releases in the West as they've hinted they might, I'd rather avoid the same problem

Wow.
That's actually really impressive. I only hope it doesn't detract from the narrative/character development/character interaction.
Hideo Baba did say that, while he wants to keep Tales to its traditions, Skyrim did interest him. Though he made it sound like a project separate from Tales. I believe this was in an interview where he was addressing worries about Japanese RPGs "Westernizing" themselves.
While I am glad that Hideo Baba is preserving the Tales identity and lineage. I don't mind experimenting more with more non-linear or explorative situations. I like having more side quests and other content. I'm looking forward to exploring this world.
I only hope that an appropriate amount of NPCs go along with the world. Large, open worlds with lots of optional content are great. But only if those large spaces are populated. I don't like it when large spaces in large games are very empty. And most Tales games don't have large distances between NPCs.
Haha lol
It's a JRPG, of course the protagonists are slayers of gods and so on. The name is still pretty stupid.
Same thing in Ni no Kuni. No one had the same name in English as Japanese besides Oliver.

rofl, I'd managed to forget this one
Oh you two slay me!
That would make a lot of copies in the bomba bin in Japan with only 632k sold in 2011
Oh well Bamco and their numbers, not the first time it would seem odd.

Honestly I hope it is Slay and they just go all in on the name with hilariously awful puns ie his post battle comment can be something like "you just got slayed" or "i am the slayer"
Slay sounds too edgy for a name? Is that what you're trying to say? It's not as bad as people are trying to say. At least it isn't Cypher Rage.
Not sure what you're trying to imply with this picture....
That part of the post is talking about Symphonia Chronicles.
That's fine, but it sounds to me like a name that would be considered cool by a 15 year old who doesn't really know any better because it sounds edgy.
Cypher Rage? I haven't heard that one before. lol
UGH. I claimed it in this thread and forgot to do it in the OT claim thread. =/ Mind if I steal this from you?
Asbel's A and B artes?

The main character is kinda vanilla isn't he? Alicia's design is far more compelling.
A lot more people than usual for Tales want to make a Tales thread, so I'll just let them handle it amongst themselves this time.
They're incorporating the more popular and highly-praised aspects of other Tales battle systems.
Graces's combat is really popular so that's probably why the Graces-inspired controls and camera were the first things they chose to show, but there'll probably be something from Xillia in there too.
They've confirmed larger field areas, not necessarily an open world.
I do hope they're actually making use of the space and not just showing off (again) though.
Got it. Never mind then, I am crazy.
