Forums - Gaming - Tales of Vesperia Trailer - Which System?

Well, well, the trailer is simply amazing and I just can't stop watching it. What's the relationship between the blonde guy and the main character (who I asume is the black-haired guy)? If this game is being made by Namco Tales Studio, then it can easily become one of my Top 3 games of all time (1st: Tales of The Abyss 2nd: Tales of Symphonia 3rd: Dark Cloud 2).

I think all this discussion is pointless for the true Tales of fan. A true Tales of fan will buy the game regardless of the console it's released on, and the console itself. I have a Wii, so I'd really, really like it to be for the Wii, and many signs indicate this is for Wii so I'm very happy about that; but if it'd be for the 360/PS3/both, I'd buy the console and the game. Plus, that's another excuse to buy the console and I'll be able to play more games huh?

Being a fanboy is the silliest of things. I'm a Wii fan, meaning I like the Wii more than the other consoles for the fact that I don't have the other consoles (but I'm sure I'd still like the Wii a lot more) but you will never see me talking ill of the Xbox 360 or bashing the PS3.

The only discussion in this topic should be: A) Who's the developer behind the game? (Hopeful answer: Namco Tales) and more importantly B) Is this game coming to America?

Now, for those who are not Tales of fans, I can understand them wanting the game on the Wii/Xbox 360/PS3 and I can also see why people debate about it, I have to say it's very interesting and sometimes fun seeing you all argue about it but in the end: are you going to buy it? I am, if it comes for the Wii. I am, if it's for the Xbox 360/PS3.

On the other side, I do want it to be for the Wii because of the userbase. This doesn't affect me but I feel there are bigger chances of this game coming to America and NOT being a flop than if it's for the 360 or the PS3. Remember, if this game flops in America, even fewer Tales of will come. Tempest will never come to America because it flopped in Japan. That means that success in Japan is also very important: The userbase of 360/PS3 in Japan is small when compared to the Wii. Besides, a Tales of game is already coming to Wii. That can boost sales, as well as it could take sales from this game.

I also see other people arguing that this game is not for Wii because of a Wii Tales of already in development. So what? The Tales of in development for Wii is Tales of Symphonia: Knights of Ratatosk, a spin-off the Tales of series. Besides, this doesn't mean they're going to be right next to each other in release. ToS: KoR should come out, at MAX, in June. Tales of Vesperia could very well come out in late November/early December, or what I think could happen, be pushed to 2009. All of this in Japan. How does this affect America? ToS: KoR will surely come to this side of the planet because of the fame ToS had. After that, sales of ToS: KoR will majorly influence the decision to have Tales of Vesperia be brought here. But only if it's also for the Wii. If it's for the other 2 consoles, sales of Eternal Sonata will, not sales of the Tales of spin-off.

EDIT: Something very important escaped my mind while writing this: Hey guys, how about Namco has yet to decide the console? That would explain the two versions of the trailer and the decision not to show what platform it's for yet. The roadmap would be the only thing to destroy this theory but think: What if the roadmap only shows Tales of whose console been announced? I know it doesn't make much sense but at this stage anything could happen....

In the end, I will buy the game regardless of the console if it comes to America. That's my only worry: It HAS to come to America. That's what's got to be discussed. Thanks for reading all of this (if you did) and remember: I may not be an active poster but I'm a hell of a lurker.

See you!

kick ass thanks cant wait

just more games to buy next year for da wii! ( still havent bought zelda......im broke)



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

@Soriku
I think the mind map may mean a difference thing. In the mind map it place only game that are schedule while TOV is not really schedule yet except for 2008.

The size of the difference circle may mean main series and port, if you see, the DS and Wii is getting the man series while the Psp and Ps2 is getting the remake or port. So I dont think the mind map said or denies anything except there are Tales game coming for these system.

For why the system is not announce, personally i think there are a few reason. If coming for Wii, they do not want to affect TOS:KOS sales. If not, there may not even be a system confirm yet, may be there are setting it up for bid between the companies.

I want it on Wii as much as you but dont get your hopes up..

Most Likely it'll be a PS3/360 game if it's HD, the PS3 version will do very well in Japan seeing as it's the only successful HD console, while it'll do ok in the rest of the word, and that's where the 360 comes in because of it's bigger install base it'lll sell well outside Japan.

Now if in SD, then it'll be on the Wii, though I don't see that happening seeing as the wii will be getting a sequel to tales of symphonia, and since they already have the Eternal Sonata engine ready to use they can simply male a HD tales game without to much effort, that way all console get a tales of.. game.


 so their are console named, but for what game and what is the context of this picture?


That picture shows the schedule of the Tales of Series at the end of 2007 until Spring 2008, what happens next... nobody knows Most likely we'll see ToS 2 before the Summer in Japan.

 WOW!!! Haven't that PS3 changed you...




Whoops forgot this "" Sorry about that, was meant as a joke

Hey what the heck is that suppose to mean Gamingdevil? PS3 makes friends like the WII does, not enemies

At least on the PS3 I receive a lot more messages from my buddies

By the way, I've just noticed Tales of Destiny the Director's Cut for on the PS2 will release on 31 January, that's pretty quick already.

You wanna know why? As its irritating you keep on saying that every single RPG hits the WII instead of any other console, that is getting kinda annoying. Like no console deserves RPG games any other than the WII does. As it looks like right now, the WII is getting the most RPG's in 2008 already than the other 2, so I don't see the problem when another game will hit the PS3 or 360 or both.
