Anyone else still waiting for a PS3 announcement? I might wait till January before giving up. It really pisses me off how the Namco Bandai scum say they have no information about whether it's coming out or not. If those idiots don't know then who else is supposed to? If it isn't coming out they should just go ahead and say so already instead of trolling everyone like this.

If that's the case I bet the Namco Bandai scum release it on March 9
Just started playing this again...never got very far, but I plan to go through it now.
Man, I still think this is the best looking HD RPG out there. It's the only game with the visual polish I expect from an HD RPG. Something about the visuals and interface just seem to say "tasteful" to me

Who the hell announces that a game isn't coming? That would just be stupid.lucablight said:
Ok, Atlus did but its totally not the same thing.
Anyway, its not looking too good since the voice actors apparently haven't been called back to do voice work yet.

It's pretty simple. The fanbase wants to know whether a certain game will be released and they can say no this game will not be released on the console you want and the issue can be put to bed.
Instead the Namco Bandai scum keep pleasing ignorance saying we have no information at this time leading to all this potentially pointless speculation and frustration by the fanbase.
Screw you Namco Bandai scum.

Nah, nothing yet.
Playing through the PS3 version now...thank god for that YouTube guide some dudes did a few weeks ago...they changed around some things and I would have totally been lost/wasted countless hours trial and erroring without knowing Japanese. The vids also gave me the word I had to enter in Japanese, since it's not "sun" nor any of the google translations of it. While there were a few glimpses of 60fps, I've noticed quite a few frame rate sputters in areas that weren't problems on 360.

Oh yeah? What about when Namco admitted that they weren't going to publish Tales of Innocence? All that led to was complaining and frustration from the fanbase, and bad PR. So to expect Namco to admit to not publishing something is just silly because the fanbase will be upset no matter what. Might as well leave the option open just in case.lucablight said:
And I'm seriously tiring of this Namco scum meme/Scamco/whatever. Namco's gotten alot better in the last few years in both quality and quantity of localization. Or are we forgetting that the Scamco moniker exists in part because of their localization cutbacks, most of which don't occur anymore, hm? And localization wise I have a hard time blaiming them for too much. With how horrid Tales of's sales usually are, most publishers would have given up on the series by now. Yet Namco, to their credit, keeps trying and even gave us a world-wide-but-not-you-Europe simultaneous release for Vesperia (granted that experiment seems to have failed :'( ). Of all the Tales of games they've passed on, the only one I really feel I can blame them for these days is not even trying any of the DS games (of course by now oversaturation is a problem...)
And now, to counter my company defense I just presented, here's a image you can post repeatedly should you ignore my argument:

At the moment I'm looking to buy Tales of Vesperia and I don't own an Xbox 360. I don't know whether I should go ahead and buy one or keep waiting because there's going to be a PS3 release. Why am I in this situation? It's because of the Namco Bandai scum and their refusal to comment on anything.
You talk about bad PR. What do you think is worse? The scenario I described is much more rage inducing . You think they're getting a good reputation by not saying anything? I would much rather have the matter put to bed than keep waiting for a release that may never happen.
Also do you have a link to when they said they wouldn't be localising Tales of Innocence? I don't ever recall that happening.

You don't seem to have much to lose in this scenario. Either you (A) wait until Spring, Namco announces the PS3 version and then you wait several more months for it to come out, or you (B) wait until Spring, Namco doesn't announce it, you give up and either buy the 360 version or nothing at all.lucablight said:

They're keeping their options open. They may not have the slightest thought of publishing it but as long as they can they will extend its trademark. For a similar example, look at the 5 extensions Card Hero went through before Nintendo gave up: http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=78526212cress2000 said:
EDIT: Of course it seems Nintendo has refiled another Card Hero trademark so I suppose they haven't give up entirely the trademark entirely yet.
cress2000 said:
Just becuse they had no plans for it in 2008 dosn't mean that they couldn't have a plan for 2010.... Thought I'm not exactly holding my breath for it at this point.
If I had to chose between Vesperia ps3 and Innocence I'd take Innocence in a heart beat since at least we can play a version of Vesperia in english even if it isn't the "complete" version. Of course in the best of worlds I'd happly take both if they'd just fricken give them to me already.
So I beat this while banned. Awesome, awesome game. A little disappointed that I can't continue to play within the same game after beating it though.. guess I need to improve my grade a bunch more through grinding so that I can have some better perks in the next play through. Suppose I'll just zoom through it on easy to try and get some extra achievements.
I apparently only got 18 achievements for 660 on my first play through. I'll probably try and do more of the secret missions and get the monster nerd at the very least (I must be close).

There is an easy way to get grade using the Rita tidal wave trick, I think it's in the OP.
Also, If you're a crazy bastard like me and intend to get 1000/1000, I suggest you follow the sidequest guide to the letter to save alot of needless pain.

Great game. Best Tales game yet
Only big flaw for me: why the f*** can't we skip cut-scenes in a 2008/09 game ?? I love cut-scenes, but it annoys me to rewatch them when I lose against a boss. Gladly, I lost only a few times.
Agreed
.On the cut-scene problem, holding A+X(?) will speed up conversations. Though I still agree with you, some of them are really long.

I am losing something. I'm sitting around waiting for something that may never come and that is making me rage.
As I said before I think the Tales of innocence situation is preferable to what they are doing right now.
Looking forward to playing this one Gaf when/if it gets a PS3 English Port. How does it compare to Symphonia and Abyss? I personally felt that Symphonia was a bit too longwinded and Abyss was way way too long and stretched out. Will I feel the same about this one, or is the narrative much tighter?

I'm not sure what else to say. It sucks for you but nothing is going to change about that until next year either way.lucablight said:
Vesperia is far far better than Symphonia and Abyss. Team Symphonia definitely learned from their prior mistakes and actually made a game that can legitimately claim to be an AAA title without snickering from the peanut gallery. Its still a long game but it doesn't have Symphonia's or Abyss's filler quests so its alot more bareble. It also helps though that Vesperia's characters are better and the story is more realized too.Wray said:
In other news, Amazon is having a lightning deal for Vesperia at 6PM PST. You know, just in case there is anyone else sitting in this thread going "Gee, I really should buy Vesperia..."
Umm...if you have any interest at all in this game and don't have it yet, you kinda might want to buy it right now. Ever since Amazon liquidated its stock during the Black Friday weekend, the Amazon marketplace prices have been ballooning like crazy (cheapest copy right now is about $45 used).
There are still some sealed copies for around $20 plus shipping on eBay, but I don't expect them to last very long.

Really starting to enjoy this game more. Just arrived at the colosseum city. But one thing has been bugging me that I was wondering if someone could help me with. It's regarding the 3 arrows (Red, Blue, Green) you see when examining an enemy. I know they have something to do with how to activate the Fatal Strike attacks, but I don't know what the little meters next to them mean. Some are higher and lower and I don't know why. Any help would be appreciated, and I read the in-game guide and couldn't figure it out.
rhfb said:
IMO, gameplay gets better as you go on until the very end, story reaches a peak and begins to fall from there.
GrumpyAlien said:
All of your attacks affect a certain direction: Up (Blue), Down (Red), or Forward (Green), as denoted by the arrows in information about your artes. Each direction has a gauge for enemies.
By using attacks that apply to these directions, you decrease the gauge (an arte that affects Up will decrease the up gauge). Once the gauge is empty, you can use a Fatal Strike.
It's easier to get Fatal Strikes if you set up your controlled character with artes that apply to a similar direction. For example, I have a lot of artes that affect Up when in my setup for Yuri, so I tend to get a lot of FSs for that direction.

They correspond to thetype of attacks you deal out. Look at your artes. Each one has a blue red or green arrow. When you do an upward attack it does "blue" damage. When you deplete the enemy's meter you'll get the chance to do a fatal strike. Enemies all have a specific type of damage they're more prone to. For example: one enemy might take red damage faster so you'll want to use downward attacks and artes that do red damage.
Check your Battle Book for more specific info.

Thanks for the help. Even after reading the battle book I wasn't sure how to exactly trigger them. This should make battles much more interesting now.

Some of you may be aware a while back a german site had a listing for a PS3 release of Tales of Vesperia. The listing can be found here: http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/e90335216.asp
I decided to email them and asked them if the listing was a mistake.
I received a reply saying
I emailed them back asking them where they were getting their information from as I'm sure you're all aware Namco Bandai haven't made any official announcement.
I received this reply.
What should be made of this?

^ Mmm... I sent it to the same e-mail. Sorry for doubting you earlier, but you were just an anonymous person before posting these screens.
I noticed something strange about the product. Apparently, most of what they have up there is said to have a Dutch version:
- Dragon Age
- Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
- Heavenly Sword
- Oblivion
- Vandal Hearts
- Sacred 2
- Valkyria Chronicles
- The Witcher
- Cross Edge
- FFXIII
- Folklore
- Fallout
- Borderlands
- Alpha Protocol
...and the list keeps on going on and on.

Pretty funky, dontcha think?

I think Deustch actually means German. The fact that they have a listing for the Last remnant does make them lose credibility though.
