Forums - Nintendo Discussion - BIG Rumor: Tales of Graces Wii being localized with PS3 extras?

bmmb1 on 11 December 2010

I agree with all those who say there seem to be logical holes in the OP, but there is a way this could be nevertheless true and somewhat make sense, and that is if Nintendo will be paying for the localization (and maybe will publish the game in the West), under some contract saying that the localization resources for the Wii version can't be used for any other version (so to localize the PS3 version Namco would have to pay themselves).

In such a scenario there will indeed be a Wii version, and since originally they had no intention of spending ANY money on localization, Namco would wait to see how well it does before they decide if to spend money on localizing TOG F out of their own pockets.

Well first I'll say, that I do hope they bring the game over on either platform or even both so that everyone is happy.  I just want to play the game, although I guess for me personally I'd rather it at least be the Wii version.  

As for the reasoning it does seem a little quirky, but I guess we'll just wait and see what happens.  I mean I don't understand why not just release it on both, but maybe there are other factors at play we don't know about.  I mean development costs aren't the only thing people.  Lots more costs involved when releasing a title and obviously there are other factors that may be influencing their decision if it turns out true.  

This is ironic. The PS3 version is better, but even if you bought it there, you wouldn't play it.

 

So, did you end buying XIII on 360 yet?

But the PS3 isn't for playing games... it is for watching blu-rays haha.  I didn't buy it for that reason haha.  Let's not get into a discussion of what my PS3 is actually used for haha.  Get a lot of people on these forums riled up.  Especially for the reason that it started off as.  

And I came close to buying FF13 on 360 today and taking advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free sale at Gamestop but I passed. Maybe tomorrow.

Right. This might be their way of explaining a moneyhat of some sort without out-and-out acknowledging a moneyhat



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I'm not a huge Tales fan but I highly doubt this is true.

If for some bizarre reason, it is.. I'd probably buy it because it, at least to me, shows that Namco Bandai has balls.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I think some people need to chill out here.

Namco right now are probably too dumb and lazy to port either. Why didn't they just localize the Wii version way before when the PS3 version was announced? Why would they suddenly do it now?

I hope it's true that a localized version is coming out on Wii.

It could be Namco sees an opportunity with Xenobalde / The Last Story / (DQX??) coming to the west (hopefully) to form a trio of strong JRPGS that'll all benefit from each other.  IE: 3(or 4) strong JRPGS would get JRPG fans to get a Wii for them, especially if Nintendo is promoting them strongly.

No such opportunity exists on PS3 currently.

 

Did you think about what you posted? There are way more JRPG's on and coming to PS3 than Wii. Hell if anything PS3 has the avantage currently in regards to JRPG's.

no the 360 does

I laugh at whoever wrote that article. Saying that Tales of Vesperia is one of the biggest dissapointments of the Tales series. I beg to differ. It is one of my favorite jrpg games this generation and is much better than Tales of Symphonia IMO. ToS is a great game but ToV is much better.



 How our favorite systems are just like humans and sometimes have issues finding their special someone...

Xbox 360 wants to Kinect &  PS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.

As I wrote above, Nintendo financing this could be a reason. And why should Nintendo finance this? Because they need more games in 2011 and their development teams are primarily focusing on the 3DS.

I'm not saying this is actually happening. just that if true this could very well be why, this explains any logical holes people see in the OP.

@jarrod

I think is because of the art style, the Sony fans prefer realistic graphics while the Nintendo ones really like the cartoonish look



This post is incredibly stupid...from a Sony or Nintendo angle. Tales of symphonia on the GC was a Big Hit becuase it was literally the only big JRPG franchise to hit the console( you can count the amount of JRPG'ss on GC on 1 hand). NB didnt capitalize on the success of ToS at all and it instead stealth released ToL and ToA on console saturated with JRPG's...hell ToA came out in FF12's timeframe..thats how bad it was sent to die.

Also all JRPG;s outside on of FF all are cartooney


Outside of FF all sell badly too in the west lol

1.As for the GC thing, Paper Mario, Skies of Arcadia, Baten Kaitos and then Origins, Tales of Symphonia, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, all of the Phantasy Stars, and I'm gonna stop there since I made my point there was not as many JRPGs on GC as PS2 no but there was enough for competition.

Either way I don't care how ToG gets localized I just want it localized, I think both people going "yay Wii exclusive" and the others going "wth not having a PS3 version doesn't make sense! *whine*" should both pipe down, it's a rumor, and if it gets localized then it gets localized, if you want it buy it, if not then shut it lol I mean people act like Namco Bandai hasn't made some poor choices in the past which is why they're hurting financially now.

1.You had to stop right there, you had no choice lol... Megaman X Command Mission and yu gi oh are the only ones you missed. Those are all the JRPG's that released in the West on GC. A no there was no competition. it had a Few Gems though.

The Rest of you r poin is a Mystery  becuase nobody said that. This thread isnt argument against NB its argument against the OP who used no sources and just a bunchof jargan that makes no sense.

He talks financial reasons for choosing the Wii version over the PS3 but localizing the Wii version plus the added bonuses is way more Xxpensive that just localizing the PSe version that alreadys has everything set.

As i already stated the I dont care where it goes i n own both but credibiliy and lack sense and sources OP is what this debate is grounded

The article is fake.. and you would have to be a complete idiot to believe article with no sources and and sense.


Actually I missed more than that but you said you could count them on one hand which was BS so I pointed it out, and obviously you're backing me up on that

As for the rest of my point, people are upset at the lack of a PS3 version in this rumor, and then you have the people that automatically believe it and think its a US Wii exclusive, and my point was to say both sides are being dumb over a rumor, but you didn't get that for whatever reason lol 

Maxwell that statement is a figure of speech... that fact that you took it literally is ridiculous, obviously the GC had more than 5 JRPG's

Scram.

When somebody says "shes gonna have a cow" do you take that literally too?

No there were a few more yet.  This is every JRPG (and subgenre titles, like SRPGs, ARPGs, card based, roguelikes, board based... even RPG-y farming sims and Zelda-likes for the people who bitch about those being left out) on GameCube that got a US release...

Count on Jarrod to spin tthe most ridculous shit. I not gonna threw everything on your list just a few in the GC( just got home from work)

Jarrod you know damnwell, when we use the term RPG, we are talking about the bolded. Its not that there not RPG's but just have elements of RPG's but nowhere near enough to classify them as RPG's

I mean cmon dude.
