[Benoit]

Even old Final Fantasies have bishounen? o_O Then three RPGs I've played have a bishounen.

New screens showing the groovy-chat system on watch.impress.co.jp, and picture of the Wii bundle, over on andriasang.
On abyssalchronicles you can have a look at Cheria's BOA costume, the scan itself is from Weekly Shonen Jump.

Over on abyssalchronicles you can find a scan from this weeks famitsu, containing some new info on the game, including screenshots of the swimsuit gear of most of the characters and a cameo appearance from Veigue.
And there is a PV up as well, you can find it on abyssalchronicles or directly from japanese nintendo channel, if you have a jpn console.

[Sides]

Famitsu put up some screens on their site. Most of those are pretty much the same, which were published in various magazines, but much clearer. There are a couple of new ones like the BOA costume for Cheria.

[Sides]

This game looks interesting, I've never played a Tales game before so if I got this one it would be the first.

My favorite character is Cheria, I can already tell that I'll like her the most. >w>

I commemorate your efforts Sides, holding this thread afloat like this.

I've been looking forward to this game ever since it was announced, very much excited to play the first 3D rendition of a "Team Destiny" styled game.

Other than the action trailer from TGS, I've been mostly keeping myself in the dark info-wise as not to spoil the story before I play.

Straight 9's from Famitsu is another good sign, and their comments were interesting to read as well.

Apparently there is a bit of a learning curve, but the system itself feels really fresh. Very good news.

Yeah, new Tales of Game! I bought the wii three years ago in the hope of a new tales of game been released on it. Anyone know what has happened to the two DS games which were planned for it. A bit of topic i know but hey at least its related.

What are you talking about?
The two DS games planned for... the Wii?
PS: There was already a new Tales games released for the Wii.

He's probably talking about Tales of Hearts and Tales of Innocence. Probably just a mixed up sentence there.

[The Master]

Yeah Tales of Hearts and Tales of Innocence were the names I had read. A year or so ago I saw them in the Official Nintendo Magazine as future DS releases. Only got the internet recently <a month ago> so I have not had a chance of checking up on them.

[Excorsism]

Still no news on an international release huh? Hopefully it'll be announced within a few weeks after it comes out on the 10th. Arrr...

You're missing out, hope you get the chance to try one out.

They've been out for a while, but no US release. Chances are, according other people, there won't be one too.

Not sure if it is a grade replacement, because grade normally adds some features to the game, like adding extra difficulty, where as Skill Points don't. According to some sites you can earn SP by doing some small tasks for NPCs.
There is a article on siliconera, talking about DLC available to Graces. New addition are battle challenges, which will be free, unlike other DLCs.

Judging by the screenshot of a result battle, you also earn SP during battle and there's not Grade (the same screenshot that is on Siliconera news)

I just wonder what are these stars at the end? Individual result for each character performance in battle? Can't wait to play with Cheria \o/

Shame that, thanks for checking though

[saphyre]

Seems like the OP somehow got leaked or something.
Unfortunately though there is no audio/sounds.
