Namco Denies Evidence Of PS3 Tales Of Vesperia Character In 360 Version

Code on game disc and in-game message suggest PS3 character existed at one time in 360 version.

By Nick Des Barres, 04/17/2009

The recent announcement of Tales of Vesperia for PlayStation 3 ruffled a lot of Xbox fan feathers in Japan, especially once it was discovered that a message in the game seemed to hint at new character Patty's existence.

The message, found below, is also in the US edition of the game. In the English version it reads "There's a woman's pirate hat inside the drawer. There's a name on it, but it can barely be read. 'Pa...?'"

 

A woman pirate? "Pa..."? Circumstantial, to be sure, but only the beginning. Japanese compu-sleuths (illegally) examined the game's ISO image in hex editors, as seen in the top image. In addition to callouts for every existing party member (YUR/Yuri, EST/Estelle, KAR/Karol, RIT/Rita, RAV/Raven, JUD/Judith and RAP/Repede), the mysterious "PAT" can be found. The plot thickens.

Japanese tech news site IT Media yesterday went straight to the source, Bandai Namco, and asked a couple hard questions: Was Patty intended for the 360 version, but cut? Was an enhanced PS3 version planned all along? The official response: "Absolutely not. That text does appear in the game, but it does not refer to Patty". When asked about the possibility of Patty and other PS3-exclusive Vesperia features coming to 360 via DLC, the answer was "That is currently unknown".

So there you have it, Tales fans. Strong circumstantial evidence, perhaps, but officially smacked down. If you're absolutely determined to get Patty on your 360, however, you can always follow the example of this anonymous Japanese 360 fan...

"That is currently unknown"....

No outright denial. Alrighty then.

Namco needed something to add to the PS3 version to get past Sony's port rules, and since they were running out of room on the 360 disk anyway, they decided to remove Patty.

They may give DLC to the 360 owners who own ToV, but it's very unlikely.



^That's what I think happened.

 No, I highly doubt they couldnt squeeze one more character in the game because of room shortage .

It's common for characters, features and events to be snipped out of games because of time and budget constraints.

"Isn't it sad, Sacchin? ;_;"
+5 to anyone getting this reference.

Well, it wouldn't be only the character. it would also include every single ssne involving her, her battle attacks, animations, and it's likely that there was a small portion of the game dedicated to her, like every other character got.
