Remember when people complained a couple of months ago about those ugly-looking screenshots that were supposedly from the Wii Tales game? Hopefully this trailer will set their minds at ease, because holy shit, that game looks amazing. It looks like they've improved the poly count and textures quite a bit - understandable, since ToS was an early Gamecube game, and probably didn't utilize everything the system had to offer. From what the trailer shows of the character animations, it looks like they've made them more fluid, too, which is an improvement over the stilted-looking animations in ToS.
I just hope they improve the quality of the story a bit. Namco-Bandai have shown in Tales of the Abyss that they can inject an entertaining, quality story into their Tales games; they just need to put a little effort into it.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
