Maybe I want to play it in English just for kicks. What then?

 

[batbeg]

But... he knows Japanese.

 

[Kandrick]

"Worldwide" release schedule:

US = Sept 2
EU = Sept 5
JP = Sept 11
Asia = Sept 25

Come on now, thats not long to wait, what pisses me off is that europe doesnt have a release date yet for Tales of Vesperia, probably in 2009 or so i guess, NOW THATS RETARDED :lol

 

[duckroll]

But... he knows Japanese.

It's funny that some people can't seem to understand that sometimes given the choice of a game in Japanese and English, and understanding both languages, someone might actually want to play a game in English.

It's really 50:50 here, if the JP version was the same price and came out earlier I would totally go for it. But given that it's going to cost much more than the Asian one, and seeing how S-E localization these days are really pretty good, I'll rather just wait 2 weeks and get it for cheaper AND in English.

Yeah, I get weird responses from some people when I say I'd rather have a really well-written English localization over Japanese in many cases.

i'm used to assuming the jp version of a jrpg comes out first. and trying to kill time at work

But don't you know? The Japanese is always better, because it just is! :lol

I just preordered the game at Best Buy. Hope it's good. I need to start plowing through Blue Dragon. Anyways, apparently, some guy got their copy of the Euro version early. They included pictures and stuff to prove it. Enjoy.

GAME despatched my copy today. They've never been THIS early before.
I go on holiday tomorrow, so won't be able to play it til just over a week... *sigh*

 

[Lonesome_Raod]

Wow literally after reading that post I got an email saying GAME had despatched mine.

 

[CAVE343]

Wow its been shipping out already, hope I can get it soon somewhere.

 

[Fortinbras]

German gamesTM gave the game a score of 8.8.

Got any links for that, or is it that magazine publication?

 

[Fortinbras]

Unfortunately it's a print magazine so there aren't any links.

Are you sure it was despatched? Seems early for GAME, I did get an email stating my pre-order was being processed today though.

Looks like I'll have some videos tomorrow. Yay.

Awesome! Very excited to see your feedback on the game.

This or Tales! I can't decide! ><!

You and I both.

I've been in the Tales thread and I've checked some posts out in here. Can't decide. I haven't played a JRPG in forever, but I was hoping to pick one up tomorrow when I go pick up VP:TiP and Madden. I was also planning on pre-ordering Pure so I can get the demo for that. I only need 1 JRPG for now and I can get the other when there is a sale.

I can't decide!

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

I cant decide..
this, Mercs 2 or Viva 2

 

[Kinitari]

Same boat here... I'm a good way through Vesperia and am loving it, but after this... do I get IU, SW:FU or be content with just spore? (getting Spore for sure). I don't like spending more than 100 bucks or so a month on games =/.

Spore too.. ugh.
Vesperia is fun.
SWFU sucks.

 

[batbeg]

Wow, I wonder if the in-store Game's will start carrying them before Friday. Anybody know? I'll have to start prowling around there for the rest of the week, along with a bag full of games to trade in :lol

 

[batbeg]

GameKyo has posted up a bunch of new screenshots released from SE, including some really nice looking ones and some with some screwy looking faces

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Succumb to the praise and bought Tales of Vesperia. At least I have something to hold me over until this arrives. I am more giddy after getting a 2 hour fix of JRPG goodness with ToV. I hope I have it by the end of the week with Gamestop shipping it.

 

[batbeg]

There are a bunch of new and old videos being uploaded to youtube, most in shitty quality for something called mygamevideoz.com. I suppose they could all be old, but some of them seem new to me, including some clips of Sigmund speaking and whatnot. I'm not sorting through it, too much there and I don't want to be too spoiled either

Soooo close

i actually like the back of the box quote. "you look like a hero. now act like one." Pretty snazzy.

 

[alanias]

Looks like the was an update for the Japanese site in the world and character section. Anyone know another good JRPG site/forum that's talking about this game? Everyone besides GAF seems dead silent about it.

 

[HiResDes]

Anything but Mercs 2 IMO

[Darkman M]

Got tales and loving it and got this coming from amazon, between the two of them i should have my hands full until Fable 2 in oct


*edit
Probably been asked but what are the 5 preorder bonus items again, and what do they do?

 

[Darkman M]

The commercial is :lol though.

Those screens look great!

This is the one with Sigmund in the beginning. New or old? I know it has Gametrailers logo, but I couldn't find it anywhere in the user movies or official :-\ However GT is really slow for me.

Probably been asked but what are the 5 preorder bonus items again, and what do they do?

"Learning Coin&#8594;Experience Acquired +10%"
"Harvest Coin&#8594;Money Acquired +10%"
"Heart of the Mountain Ascetic&#8594;Experience Points Needed for the next level is Unattainable," and so forth.

The other two are unknown. The last one sounds awesome

where am blimblim's IU vidssssssss

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Pretty sure this has been mentioned before, but "ewww" at that font...

 

[Aeana]

Pretty sure this has been mentioned before, but "ewww" at that font...

Yeah. It's been used in a lot of games lately, too (FF12 ). I don't understand why they think it looks good.

 

[Llyranor]

Man, since I've been constantly having to wait for my co-op buddies to be around in order to continue Vesperia, I've been really craving a singleplayer JRPG.

I might potentially pick this up a lot sooner than I'd thought (impulse buy?). Well, that or maybe Disgaea 3. Or maybe I should just go through my GBA/DS backlog. I still haven't touched Riviera or Yggdra Union!

Ah, choices, choices.

 

[Kaji]

Off to pick up my copy now from EB (aus) ^_^

 

[purg3]

Damn, why the hell is the guide coming out so far from the game release?

 

[Darkman M]

It seems brady is getting lazy about their guides......

 

[Blimblim]

where am blimblim's IU vidssssssss

Give me a few hours.

 

[Tenbatsu]

Pretty sure this has been mentioned before, but "ewww" at that font...

It looks pretty ok to me but the 3D model of the faces of the characters looks just plain weird. The artwork is awesome thou.

 

[RPGCrazied]

since its 2 discs, you think microsoft learned from the LO case problem, BD had it too

 

[Aeon712]

I finally broke down and decided getting this game was the right thing to do even if I didn't have to play it till after Disgaea 3. Then I remembered Transformers Blu Ray and New Avengers come out tomorrow also .

 

[duckroll]

since its 2 discs, you think microsoft learned from the LO case problem, BD had it too

Since this isn't published by MS......

 

[RPGCrazied]

i know its SE, you think they will pony up for 2 discer cases?
