I like the game, but it's both exactly as I hoped it would be and both as I feared. It's the same game we've been playing for years now, same kind of characters, same kind of story, same kind of battles, same kind of environments. That said, it is also yet again, very solid. For a few years I was absolutely sick of these games, but after not playing them for a while I started craving one again and this is the perfect game to satisfy that craving. It won't win any awards for originality, but it does what it does very well.
You're a wacko. :lol Why even buy the game then unless you're sure it's the definitive version you'll actually play? It's not like games these days have tiny print runs.Shadow780 said:
Also, glad all these PAL people finally get to play the best jrpg this gen. I said jrpg, not srpg, so back off VC defense force.
I can't wait to double dip with the PS3 version.

I'm really thinking the confirm for the US region will be known later this year and if not screw it, I will import.

Keep the faith friend, I mean they sure as hell aren't going to put a NA version out a year from now. I mean with certain other RPG coming through it'll be like sending it out to pasture and all that.

Japanese demo is up on PSN now and it's different from the 360 demo. Follow this guide to get it:

Oh, really? Guess it was like that because I played it on a US 360, then.duckroll said:The 360 one did no such thing. It simply detected the actual hardware region of your 360. The demo would be English only for a NTSC/UC set for example, and Japanese only on a NTSC/J set.
I don't think it helped that the 360 one sold like crap. :/ But who knows -- I remain hopeful NBGA will do the right thing! The game was great, and the PS3-exclusive stuff looks hawt.JoeFenix said:It's japanese only and I guess that means you guys didn't work on a translation if one does exist...
Which means that it probably will never come out here

That's what I'm thinking as well, I don't think NB will localize this unfortunately
I also emailed them some time back asking about localization and they gave me the standard "no news about localization at this time".

Reading his posts it seems 8-4 isn't going to do a damn thing this time.

I loved TOV, and I really hope they bring out the PS3 version!
I'm just messing with you, I doubt anyone couyld have made that game sound good in English. But holy crap... Sarah and Lymle.....
I pity you guys that had to work on this for an extended period of time, I could barely make it through that game in one piece! :lol
Demo seems pretty nice. Only played it for five minutes, but it seems smooth. Battle transition is not *quite* as smooth as the 360 version, but the difference is really, really minimal. Plus it might be just because it's a demo.
When you pick up items in chests, the item description appears on-screen now so you can know what the item does (should be handy at times). Patty seems all right; not a big fan of her voice, but to be honest, I like the US voices better for several characters, so that's not a big deal to me. Love the part when Yuri drops her on the floor after she says "nice catch", LOL.

I was expecting this to be really tough but I did it on my first try.. I just attacked Zagi till he was at the edge of the ship, he was off the ground so I overlimited and he fell off. Done it within 10 seconds of the battle starting. Hoping the other harder Secret Missions work out as easy as that one did.
The PS3 demo is pretty good; it's cool that it's up to par technically with the original, since a good bit of what made it so great was how technically polished it was. The only difference I noticed was that there was a load time on every battle instead of just the first one, but even then it's not a huge difference.
And man, Japan sure got the short end of the stick when it came to voice acting. Estelle and Yuri are about the same, but Raven's voice doesn't suit the character nearly as well, and Karol and Rita are totally unbearable.
Fuck Patty, though. Fuck her, fuck whoever came up with her, fuck anybody who likes her, what a horrible, miserable excuse for a character. I am incredibly disappointed in Yuri for dropping her - it should have been a full-on bodyslam. Nah-noh-jya.

You following my tweets man? What's your twitter?
I LOVED ToV on the 360 and have been eagerly awaiting the PS3 version. I really want it to come over here but if it doesnt I may just import it for the double dip. It doesnt look like there's alot of kanji in those screen shots and I can read the kana (and have beaten the game once already so I know the system) so I wonder if the rest of the game will be similar?

have they altered the regular scenes in that demo area to figure in patty as well ? or does she have her own scene and just stands there in the regular one's ?

Heh, well get you!
I had just given up after about 20 attempts of trying to move under him when he did his cyclone attack then triggering overlimit... so I decided to go all out on him, and Karol ended up knocking him off the edge after I did an arte which had him in the air!!
Happy days

I finally started playing this on 360 last week and have been surprised by how much I'm enjoying it. I've never been much of a Tales fan which is why I didn't buy it when it was first released, but Vesperia is so technically impressive and polished that it has really drawn me in. The English translation and voice cast does a fantastic job - it manages to make characters I would have found unbearable in any other game (Estelle, Karol) tolerable, and dare I say it, likable. I'm glad I took a chance on this.
