As of now, Namco has only announced the release of the PS3 port of Tales of Vesperia for the Japanese market, but could the company have plans to release it in the West, too? A member of the official Tales Of forums has hacked the Japanese PS3 demo and has found english translations of spells and locations in the code- something which would'nt be needed, seeing that the demo is Japanese-only.

Thanks to Kouli from the Official Tales of Forums, it appears that there might be a good chance Namco Bandai is planning for a localization of the PlayStation 3 port of Tales of Vesperia. It includes numerous extras and changes, such as a brand new character, Patty Fleur, the addition of new bosses like the Sword Dancer, Flynn being playable for more that just one battle, among other changes. The game will also be fully voiced and will include new and altered scenes, such as Yuri fighting Don Whitehorse when the party visits Keiv Moc.

In the demo's code, there were the following skills that were unused. It is important to note that each of these had English descriptions, which would not be needed since the demo was Japanese-only.

    One can hope for a western release. Namco aren't exactly know for their love of the west when it comes to the Tales Of series, and really they could do with changing that approach. If they saw fit to bring the 360 version outside of Japan then I'd think the PS3 version should follow.

      You never know about that,they never brought the PS2 version of Symphonia here,so they might not bring this here. They'll probably wait to see how many copies they sell in Japan before they actually bring it here.
