New Tales of Graces, Tales of Versus, and Tales of Vesperia PS3 info from Jump

July 08, 2009 in News comments 13

Rpgmonkey's Tales news blog has come across scans from Jump magazine with new information on Namco Bandai's three upcoming Tales of titles, Tales of Graces for the Wii, Tales of Versus for the PSP, and Tales of Vesperia for the PS3.

For Tales of Graces, two more characters have been named/revealed. The red-headed girl seen in previous Tales of Graces media is Sheila Burns, the granddaughter of Asbel's butler, who holds faint feelings for him, and is a user of healing magic. The guy, Hubert Oswell, is Asbel's one-year-younger brother, who is a major in the army, and is a magic swordsman.

Tales of Versus sees three new character confirmations: protagonist Caius Qualls from Tales of the Tempest, female heroine Kohak Hearts from Tales of Hearts, and Tales of Eternia female heroine Farah Oersted. There is also something called the Extra Finish, where two characters will team up for an attack.

Tales of Vesperia PS3 will see a set of beach costumes for Yuri, Judith, Rita, and Flynn. Yuri's title for the costume is the Aloha Older Brother, for Flynn is the Short-sleeved Prince, for Rita the Casual Beach Girl, and for Judith, it's quite simply the Just Black Bikini.

    Farah?!? Now that's seriously awesome, her rapid fist attacks were some of my favorite moves from the Tales series. Here's hoping for some videos featuring four character gameplay for Graces, now that we got even more playable characters.

    Ha ha, as if Judith needed any more sex appeal.

    Woah, Yuri looks different there. And wait a sec...if there's costumes for Flynn that must mean one thing...he'll be a permanent playable character. Damn it, Bamco, you're going to make me get this for the PS3, aren't you? If it hits stateside, that is.

      They'd better release all that stuff as DLC for the 360 version,'cause I'm not getting a PS3 just for a different version of a game I already have!

        Meh it's getting really *bleep*in annoying, with all the "HEY LETS ALL GIVE THE PS3 EXTRA CONTENT" it happened with Eternal Sonata and now it's happening with Tales.

        I hope they actually release it as DLC for the 360, caus it'll be pathetic if they don't.

        Ah well, least were getting alot of extras in the 360 version of Cross Edge that the PS3 won't be getting.

          I didn't know that Eternal Sonata got extra content in the PS3 version,but I never got the game,so I wouldn't know.

          I've never heard of Cross edge,what's that?

          Wolverine527, Cross Edge is an 2d rpg that has characters from other games such as Disgaea, Darkstalkers, Ar Tonelico and a few others, and puts them together for a quirky turn based rpg.

      What in the holy hell are you talking about? The Tales games haven't lost their touch, especially when it comes to ToV. The characters are not the usual quiet/emo kinds we see in RPGs, gameplay flows fantastically, and the story is engaging. You can really tell if the developers put in the time and effort into a game, and ToV is one example of that. Sure previous Tales games were more enjoyable to some degree, but ToV is a great addition to the series.

      And as far as getting both systems go, no that doesn't solve anything. For one, people aren't that rich. Two, now I don't know about you, but getting a console for ONE game seems rather...stupid. Three, we still don't know if the game is hitting stateside. Four, if we have the game for the 360 already and thoroughly played through it (I have), why would we want to get it just for these extra add-ons? We'd be dishing out another $60. It's like Ninja Gaiden 2 for me, I'm not getting Sigma 2, least not until I see a good price drop for it.

        I'll at least be happy if it never comes out in america,since the PS2 version of Symphonia never came to america,and I wasn't the least bit mad about that,but I also had a PS2.....

        About the extra add-ons......IT'S GOT A FULLY PLAYABLE FLYNN!!!
