How is the English voice-acting in ToV?

Solid to terrible, just like Symphonia.

Really? I thought the voice acting was wayyyy better in ToV than it was in ToS.

I was describing the range, rather than the mean average quality. Flynn alone qualifies the terrible end of the spectrum.

Flynn's VOs are better then every VO in Tales of Symphonia, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of the World: RM, Tales of Symphonia DotNW(easily.) and Tales of Legendia.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

You have to remember that unlike last gen Japan isn't as reliable. I don't think they'd want to put it all that effort adding in all that stuff if it'll sell like...200k more (?) when they can release it overseas and get more sales.

If Eternal Sonata PS3 came over, ToV PS3 will too. If not then Namco are retarded.

All they added for Eternal Sonata was some VA for 2 characters that were now playable. Compared to what they are doing for the VA work being done on the ToV PS3 version that really is a walk in the park. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but I'm not gettign my hopes up either. You need to also remember though that PS2 was the best selling console WW last gen and ToS sold like hotcakes in NA on Gamecube. Not bringing ToS over to PS2 made no sense. This is Namco though and they hardly ever make decisions that seem like no brainers to most of us.

I agree with Soriku.  Even Eternal Sonata got localized, there is no reason not to bring ToV to the western market.  From what I read in some Japanese forum, ToV on PS3 will likely sell very well, MUCH better than Eternal Sonota.  A lot of Japanese Tales fans will even buy it again because so many extra have been added to the PS3 version.

@OP.  After reading your post, I went to look at the cover art of some Namco games (Japanese and NA versions).  Eternal Sonata doesn't have "only on Xbox 360" sign (both versions), but the NA version of ToV has it!!!! OMG OMG OMG......  Now I am really concerned @_@  ToV may not get released in NA.

WHAT?!!!!!!! Tales of Vesperia has awesome voice acting. Don't EVER compare it to Symphonia's voice work.

Now that would be a rare thing if it happened. I mean who imports JRPG's from Europe :D

Except Luke and Asch's voice acter.

I don't see why it wouldn't be localized. Namco decided to localize Eternal Sonata, afterall. Look at that game's sales:

http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=Japan&game1=Eternal+Sonata+-+PS3&reg2=America&game2=Eternal+Sonata+-+PS3&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=50

Its NA sales will pass up the Japanese sales in the next few months.

Much like Eternal Sonata, Namco could probably expect a similar amount of sales from a North American release of Vesperia as they could from a Japanese release. Why port the game for an extra 100k in sales but not bother localizing what amounts to only half a game for a similar amount? The costs of finishing the localization (continuing where the 360 version left off) are far less than those of porting the game, I'm sure.

I'm sure PS3 ToV will sell Much more in Japan and North America then Eternal Sonata PS3 did.
