How about Johnny Young Bosch and Wendee Lee?

I imagine they were hired to do both games from the outset.
Dark Schala may cry
Okay that Wendee Lee pick was a bit incendiary but I actually like JYB.

I like both of them, I just think it's hilarious how upset some people get when they're announced as voice actors for anything

If any of you say Laura Bailey...

We know Dark Schala would destroy any world with Laura Bailey in it
Bu-bu-but Nier!

They should get whoever voiced Nanako in P4 (Karen Straussman I think?) to voice Elle.

I'm pretty sure most people need a year off from playing the first game and the second so they can forget how all the fields look like.
You have to run through them all again... Multiple times. And the only cosmetic change is the occasional grain filter which looks awful.

So how much of Xillia 2 actually takes place on
Elympios
Maybe they haven't choose the new voice actors yet,
Well if they've truly finished the VA recording then yeah they have. Plus Matt Mercer's comment seemed to imply that Ludger had already finished recording too.
This is extremely interesting. If the voicing is done then Xillia 1 and Xillia 2 localization can basically be considered as a single localization project.
EDIT: I highly doubt they'll give Elle's VA to Laura Bailey.
EDIT2: Judging by that interview it seems like the pronunciation for Ludger's name will be with a long u instead of a short one. Interesting.

So like Looger not luhger?

Nope we're stuck with Ruca and Ludger
The d isn't silent. It's still inflected. So it'd be Loodger with a hard g.
Ludger is fine, Ruca is dumb. Not as dumb as Cress though lmao

Does anyone know if they ever announce a winner for their Facebook competition? The one that can only be entered if you brought the CE from them?
I got an email on the 9th August saying that they were gonna check against preorder sheets etc and have heard nothing since, you would think you get a too bad email etc =S

Just got Vesperia PS3 in the mail, I open it up and I'm surprised to see that the game has a manual and a pretty extensive one at that. Pretty jealous opening this up after witnessing the joke that is Xillia's US packaging.
Oh and the load times seemed pretty long so I'm installing the game. Good thing the start menu is in english! (why would they be in english anyway?)

I may be wrong but I think the lack of manual is something inherent to US/PAL games, in Japan they still have manuals with dozen of pages

Yeah, Japanese games come with manuals most of the time. The exceptions so far are the Vita games, where some come with manuals (Time Travelers) and others don't (Zero no Kiseki Evolution).
Cress is one of those names where the pun is better off lost during localization like Refill and Genius. I'm okay with Claus.
Official Tales forums being completely dead is kind of sad (Thanks Flamfas for letting me know), since I've been there since 2004 and during Symphonia's localization launch. Good going Namco for not letting people back up their stuff first. Oh well.

That means they can make a superior unofficial forum that fans can actually control ie the banner won't be 8 years old
Also it's weird for them to take it down now when were in the middle of a tales revival in the west compared to say 3 years ago when there was no sign of any English tales ever again
RIP Tales forums :/
I believe that's a notification that your info was sent to update the leaderboards or something like that

Thanks. I didn't know if there was any issues with saving or the like.

I never really posted there. I think I signed up but that was it. I just remember there being some strange posters with strong opinions there. It's too bad that it was just removed without any real notice. I thought the site was just down due to server problems.

I remember lurking there during Abyss's NA launch. This man does not lie.
I'd love to hear the reasoning behind that name...
I'm sure it'll be just as well thought out as the other made up names.

Sounds better then Xillia did the first time I heard it
...is very embarrassing. At least they apparently had someone capable of looking up how to hide the site behind some password protection instead throwing error messages (as a webmaster their handling of the "official" forum was and is an endless stream of facepalm worthy events, kind of doubt a new forum would change that unless it's moved to the apparently more caring European subsidiary).

Saw this on the Playasia twitter, interview isn't up yet though.

At least they apparently archived some of it. The handling of the whole situation is pretty poor.

How is Innocence R viewed upon round here? Better then the DS version? I ask cause I picked it up 2 days ago.
I like it better than the DS version, easy. The graphics definitely aren't pushing the Vita's capabilities, but they're passable enough that they don't limit my enjoyment of the game.
Innocence R is great! Hearts R is more questionable; it improves some things but also takes a few steps back from the DS title so it's hard to say one version is "better." But Innocence R is definitely the better version of that title.
You just have to take into account that you're going to play an average looking PSP game on Vita, if you're ok with that then it's the original game with more contents and slightly improved gameplay.
