(Really low quality example, but here's one image. Aside from that, everything looks more colourful, the theatrics seem to be at its best, and the whole experience just feels much like an "anime game" than the previous Tales games did.
Ah, I see, well thats a good thing in my view.

It's awesome, I love it.
Werent they always around? But that might also be due to the fact that they're actually releasing "Tales of-" food products in Japan.

...oh, and glad to see you're still alive even after seeing the AmiMami pics I've found.

Anyway, back on topic: Trying to finish up "Nendoroid Generation". Starting to get annoyed on how characters kept coming and going. Almost after every other main story mission its like half of the characters you've got leave the party until the next chapter. Though I've finally(?) progressed enough to have everyone together again. I'm also finding the story to be rather entertaining as it progresses.

So overall this game is holding up ok for me...for now. I wont say anything definite til I clear it.

After I finish Nendoroid Generation and ONEPIECE Kaizoku Musou I'm looking to pick up either "Tales of Vesperia" or "End of Eternity". Though I'll probably go with E.O.E since ToV still costs quite a bit in JP, even for a used copy. orz
