Nice

 

[Tabris]

Is this scheduled to come out in NA?

Also, which console is TOS2 coming to? cause that will decide which version I get. GCN or PS2.

 

[Alcibiades]

Well, the boxart looks better than the GCN version...

 

[NotMSRP]

There hasn't been any annoucement of a TOS2. The PS2 TOS port has extra content. Although the GC version has a Gamecube reference.

does the GCN version look better (it should, but who knows)?

 

[Tabris]

Ooohhh, extra content? Like what? (without spoiling story)

 

[NotMSRP]

cinemas for one
maybe other things too

 

[belgurdo]

Still hate them characters, but the box is still nice

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

can someone post GC's for comparison ?

edit: I think Tales of Sympphonia was writtin in green for GC

[shibbs]

Well, that aint bad but the PS2 box does look better.

Probably just a bit, but without 480p support, the GC version really lost a lot of what it could have had...

I like the American box the most, the characters seem more mature. I only wish they looked like that in the game.

Also preview of Tales of Rebirth.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Also preview of Tales of Rebirth.

A new song by Day After Tomorrow also. Seems like there will be a decent amount of extras. The ToR preview alone (as long as it's playable) will boost its sales quite a bit.

 

[Baron Aloha]

Wow. For once the American version has the best box art (IMO).

 

[Kobun Heat]

Wow. For once the American version has the best box art (IMO).

Game's not out yet. Remember, for a while it looked like Ikaruga's US box art was going to be the best across all versions...

So are we to expect a haughty, intrusive quote from 1-up.com splashed on the artwork then kobun?

 

[truesayian]

Here's the quote that's going to be on this box.. "IT WILL ROCK YOU SYMPHONIA.... - 1-up.com"

 

[jiggle]

A new song by Day After Tomorrow also.

It does?? Do you know if it'll replace Starry Heavens or be used in some other fashion(ending theme?)?

 

[cvxfreak]

Will the PS2 version have text and voice options? I can kinda see that happening due to the extra PS2 disc space.

Kinda seems like it's getting both but i'm not completely sure.

I think it depends on how the GC version does. For example, it does well, so Namco knows there's an audience and releases it in NA. Or it does poorly, so Namco releases it on a system with a bigger audience in NA.

Fixed.

 

[SantaC]

Wow I am finally getting some ToS love next week.

 

[AniHawk]

Fixed.

Nope, it's correct the first time.

I have a feeling Namco's gonna bring it over either way, they're just gonna wait on GC's ToS's sales for the excuse.

Your explanation is very similar to what they did with the game in Japan. They wanted 500k out of ToS in Japan and it didn't get it, so then comes the announcement of a PS2 version. Now it seems like they're going to try to hit some goal with the GC version and if that doesn't happen then comes ToS for the PS2 here.

 

[NotMSRP]

Seems stupid of Namco not to bring the PS2 port over here. Work on script and voices are done. Just tell the JP programmers to put the stuff into the PS2 version and you're done, for the most part.

Based on how they've acted with regard to the Tales series over here so far, I disagree. Although, I wouldn't mind if you wound up being right.
