Schwaltzvald Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 So yeah as of late I've been getting this message I've not found anything else on the net that confirms this other than it simply being another rumor like that one about "Tales of Vesperia" being ported to the Wii console. Any one able to confirm this? Once again I'm not saying this is fact, but it's what I'm reading and hearing amongst my associates at work during break. edit:: To those that for whatever reason do not understand the comic, basically it's that Tales of Graces will not be seeing a western release; or so allegedly been stated around the net.

Thalzon Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 1) That Vesperia rumour was stated by one of the japanese voice actors, I believe (or maybe it was an english VA...). It was likely he got the names confused. 2) Graces BETTER DAMN WELL BE LOCALIZED. Quote
Lunarfall Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 2) Graces BETTER DAMN WELL BE LOCALIZED. This x1000000000000000 Fucking Bamco Quote
Kureejii Lea Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I haven't really looked into it in-depth, but I got the impression that people were assuming it wasn't being localized on the grounds that it wasn't given a near-simultaneous NA release the way Vesperia was. Quote
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 It'll be localized. It could be one of the big Wii RPGs of the year. Bamco isn't going to want to miss out on that train. Of course I'm buying it used out of principle though. Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 It'll be localized. I'd like confirmation though considering how pervasive the rumor is around my usual places... Nonetheless if not I may get to play it anyways via the same method I got the latest Fatal Frame (JPN copy) game to work on my Wii. Quote
Broken Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Wow, I've never heard of this title before. Sounds like another fine addition to the series, though. Aggh, I might actually have to buy a wii if this shit comes out! Quote
Thalzon Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 It is allegedly the longest Tales game, with an 80-hour story. Funny thing I've noticed. The story's quality is ivnersely proportional to how many characters with unnatural hair colour there are on your team. Symphonia - Pretty good. (Presea, Regal. Zelos doesn't count -- even if his hair is REALLY red) Abyss - Awesome. (No unnatural colours!) Vesperia - It's alright. (Estelle, Judith, Repede. Yes, a blue dog counts as unnatural hair colour) Graces - Who knows? But outlook is Vesperia-quality. (Sophie, Pascal, and blue-haired guy who is not important enough to remember) Quote
OceansAndrew Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I'm not sure I could handle an 80-hour long Tales game. :/ seems to me that the story quality, battle system, and characters all are tied together from a shared resource pool. So say The characters and battle system in one game are good, the story will be super banal. If the story is good, either the battle system or the characters will suck, etc. I'm down for it being localized though, because I naively believe one day it'll all be balanced and good, and I realize i'm more of a casual fan rather than a hardcore one.

Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 The only real problem I see with the Tales series(from what I've played of it) is that other than the battle system, the crafting, synthesis and other elements just feel unrealized. They managed to keep my interest with a nice world, great battle system, and the cliched crap I love, but it sure would feel nice if all the systems in the game didn't feel so superfluous. Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 80 hour story? Sakuraba coming up with 17 CDs of music for it is a thought worse than death. Quote
Sir_Snooze Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Graces better be localized. Symphonia and Abyss ate babies, and Vesperia did too. If this doesn't see a Western release, a) Bamco Namdai will have committed a stupid mistake (hopes and popularity are way up with Vesperia), and I will sink Japan. Yes. I will physically make Japan sink. 80 hour story?Sakuraba coming up with 17 CDs of music for it is a thought worse than death. 80-hour story will be a bit excessive, I'll admit. ToS 40-45 hours was perfect. What's wrong with Sakuraba? He wrote Baten Kaitos' House of Cards, which is one of my favourite songs of forever and history. Quote
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 The problem I see with Sakuraba judging from his Tales of Vesperia and Star Ocean 4 OSTs is that he starts sounding very generic. Quote
Sir_Snooze Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 I guess I can see that being a possibility - you do have a point. I doubt he'd make 17 albums himself, though - he almost certainly has some staff or something. For a project this huge, I can't see him using the same exact staff. Hopefully someone can change it up a bit. Quote
The Legendary Zoltan Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I heard that Tales of Vesperia was coming to PS3 in America. Was that just a rumor too? I hope not because I haven't played much Tales at all and I want to confirm all this talk about Tales soundtracks being so dull. I'm gonna continue to have faith in the Star Ocean 4 soundtrack though. I feel like it's gonna rock. Quote

Schwaltzvald Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 Huh... So Tales of Graces is confirmed to have a European release by the summer of 2010. Wow it's like Forbidden Siren 2 all over again... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Quote
DarkeSword Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 80 hour story?Sakuraba coming up with 17 CDs of music for it is a thought worse than death. He'd just write one CD's worth of music and repeat it 17 times. HEYO! Quote
Triad Orion Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 He'd just write one CD's worth of music and repeat it 17 times.HEYO! Ba-zing! ...Even though I liked Sakuraba's earlier work in like, Golden Sun. <<; Quote
