I only got a small hands on time with the game and it reminds me of some turn-strategy World War 2 games, but so much more streamlined and not herky-jerky with the grid system like so many strategy games like Disgaea or FFT games even. But overall, the art and music definitely was some of the most pleasing in the crop of 2008 games. That said, I would love to see Vyse and Aika in the anime too. It'd be surreal since they don't even have Skies of Arcadia anime transition and they get a double the cameo from the game. I wish they do a Skies of Arcadia anime in the same quality of Tales of the Abyss. Looooooong stretch, but an anime cameo wouldn't be impossible I hope. |

Yeah, a full Skies anime would have been great with all of the "character" that that adventure had. Now it makes me sad imagining some of the action and set pieces in Skies with the same quality as the new Tales of the Abyss anime, cause that would be awesome to revisit lol.

They better not make Welkin into a pacifist. I also want my Alicia to have the in-game personality instead from the manga. The manga was just too hardcore for my taste.
As for best games, I have to admit. For me at least, this game is in my Top 3 RPG of the year. First spot is definitely Fallout 3, while Valkyria and Vesperia are second and third. But VC as best game? Nah.. Many big titles this year actually deserves to be called the 'best'. GTA IV, MGS 4 and Fallout 3 are my overall 3 best though. |

Jane, however, is just as "Imps must die" hardcore as ever. She actually gets a funny scene in the manga. Another nice bit is Faldio being a ladies-man, especially to Alicia, and hopefully we'll get a love triangle between Welkin, Alicia, and Juno. I hope a bunch of the manga and game stuff transfers into the anime. |

That sounds like a line out of the game manual.

Great. I've been home for two nights now and I haven't touched VC at all. I completely forgot that it'd be bowl season when I got home and I'll do nothing but watch football for the next two weeks. Looks like VC is on the backburner for a while. D-1AA NC game right now and tomorrow 4 bowl games and the D-1 women's v-ball national championship match.

But I still don't see how it qualifies as a spoiler of any kind. It's common knowledge (based on it being in the manual) about the game and does not divulge anything about plot. Perhaps it then just assures that those characters won't die in the anime (if the producers want to be smart). And when it comes to anime, how often does anyone really die, anyway? lol Always seems like "dead" characters come back to life miraculously constantly.

Now that I'm home I have turned the voices over to English and I'm not sure I prefer them. I think maybe I got used to the Japanese voices. Welkin's fits, Largo's fits... Alicia's... not so much. Sounds much different than I'd expect. Captain Varrot's sounds really weird. I'll probably switch back over to Japanese because the American voices just don't fit, overall, to me. But it is nice to understand what they're saying when it's a situation without subs. lol

I was absolutely overjoyed when i head about the anime adaptation of VC, it's by far my favourite game for 2008, and I'm definately looking forward to the series.
My hope is for a 26 episodes format. I'm afraid 12 episodes wouldn't allow for much expansion over the story of the game, while 26 would let the studio give us quite a deeper insight on the Gallian War. I'm pretty sick of short series that leave you wanting more anyway... Guess I have to jump on the bandwagon of the Marina fans, anyway On a side note, while the american VA for the game weren't that bad (even if some felt quite misplaced to me), the translation of the script was most definately abysmal, one of the worst i've seen lately. It completely changed quite a few scenes, not to mention the way characters behave with each other (one pretty clear example is how Isara interacts with Welkin). Pretty sad, to be honest. |

As for changing what's said, I have watched enough anime that I can pick up on certain words, tone, etc. and I've noticed that a lot of stuff just doesn't fit what's being said in the subtitles. I don't understand Japanese, but my grasp of the language is good enough to, when given some English words as cues, I can figure it out. I'm thinking of going back to the Japanese VAs. It's nice to be able to completely understand all the little sayings attached to characters' potential activations, but as with what you said, I think it's just missing something.
