Tales Of Zestiria is coming to PS3/PS4 October 16th and PC October 20th

Hopefully it's a massive improvement over Xillia... I'll still buy it on PC day one, Japanese devs on Steam need all the support they can get so we can continue getting more.

If it's not a bad PC port, i'll probably get it during 2016 summer/winter sale. Everything i have read/heard about this is not making me want to go full price.

I mean Graces F and Xillia were kinda shit too. Surprisingly, i enjoyed Xillia 2, even with the recycled areas.
 
Finally, lol. That out of the way, kinda mindblowing that we've gone from not getting mainline entries at all to getting PS4/PC ports specifically for the western market.

Namco-Bandai's had one hell of a turnaround these last few years.

I think the issues with the Dark Souls 1 port are somewhat overblown. The actual game ran just fine, fairly well optimized, and I had no crashing issues. Along with Durante's fix releasing literally within minutes of release, it wasn't all that bad.

It can be argued that a mod being required to make the game run at 1080p qualifies it as a crap port in this day and age, no matter how quick an easy the mod is to find/install.

For those who played the import, I read some character/story spoilers and was wondering if it was true that Sorey and Mikleo
are loosely canonically a "couple." Or at least romantic in some sort of way instead of just being queerbait.

If you are a fujoshi then I guess
you could see some kind of sexual tension, otherwise of course not.
They're just two good childhood friends and Mikleo somehow fits the trope of the "main heroine" much more than Rose and Alisha, he just does not have the right gender I guess.

How's this game compare to Xillia and Graces? I didn't particularly enjoy either of those games, but I loved Vesperia, Symphonia, and Abyss.

This skit hints at something more, but they never outright say anything. http://lookiamnotcreative.tumblr.com/post/113686872927/an-alternate-translation-to-this-skit-correcting

Well, the trailer is in 60 FPS, I guess that bodes well for an unlocked frame rate.

This kind of artstyle looks amazing at 4K.

Sure, but the inability to render at 4K didn't effect me at all. As I said, Durante had the mod available almost immediately after release.

Platinum games, for example, cannot go higher than 1080p and are still stuck that way to this day. No excuse for this in 2015.
 
Now we have to see if any version gets exclusive costumes. How many DLC ones are there right now?

Eva costumes (lol we're not getting these)
Idolm@ster costumes
Blue Exorcist costumes (not getting these either)
Swimwear
School outfits
God Eater 2 costumes (like Bamco remembers that God Eater 2 exists)
Cameo Tales costumes

Also the usual long array of attachments like the Sengoku Basara ones (never going to see those here too)

It's really cool to see the series making the jump to PC. I'll buy it on Steam if the port isn't complete garbage.

Ahhh, fujoshi bait. Sad cause it would have been neat to see that in one of my favorite series but in the end it doesn't really change my opinion or excitement.

Thanks for the information!

i hope there will be a collector edition for ps4 and i hope that there will be the 4 figurine from the japanese collector (the rest not so much) i'll prefer an artbook or a steelbook.

Man, I still want those costumes for Graces F we never got, like Asbel's Haseo one. Ugh.

Unlike Graces and Xillia, where the costumes were on disc and could be used if you had a modded PS3, I don't think Bamco would be dumb enough to leave those costumes in the PC release in hopes that people didn't find them.

It's not about believing, it's about Vesperia begging in every single Tales thread being annoying as hell.


How have Namco Bandai been with PC ports in the past? I'm only familiar with Dark Souls and Dark Souls II, one which was god awful and the other being fantastic. Total opposite ends of the spectrum.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse was pretty good and 60 fps.

Nonsense.

This is Neogaf, we have to believe in near hopeless possibilities.

Whoo, finally. Can't wait to see the mods. I'll definitely be picking this up on Steam.

A lot of people like to mention mods before games come out, but unless the game is incredibly popular you usually don't see too much extensive modding.

Just had some flashbacks to Akiba's Trip where everyone claimed it was a modder's paradise, yet not much was done. lol
 
Heh, already played, beat and platinum'd it on PS3 so I probably won't get it on PS4 again, unless there's a different trophy list for both platforms. Which doesn't seem likely.

For PC...well I guess I'll take it in a steam sale.

I'll be buying a PS4 in september so that's the version I'll get, I just hope they at least fix some performance issues.

Is this the first PC Tales game?

Not pointing this at anyone here but the number of times PC gaming has been declared dead, now we're seeing games on PC that never would have come out in the past. I love it.

Is there a good reason for the PS4 version when I own a decent PC? Unless it's a terrible port, of course. I get paranoid when decisions are too easy.

Good news anyhow.

PS Trophies? Having a physical version or physical CE version?
