December 22, 2007 - Bandai Namco had a busy booth at this year's Jump Festa event over in Japan. Attendees of the annual comic/videogame show were able to get first hands-on time with Tales of Symphonia: Ratatoskr no Kishi (Wii) and Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit (PS3, Xbox 360), causing some major waits, but there were no lines for the big news story to come from the booth: a new Tales game!
Announced at the end of a Tales of Innocence stage event, the new game is titled Tales of Vesperia. The game appears to use cell shaded visuals and will feature character designs from Kousuke Fujishima and animation from Production I.G.
A platform for the game was not announced, but with a release set for 2008, we don't imagine having to wait too long for details.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
I've always enjoyed these, I can't wait to see more about this in the future. I really hope this game comes to consoles to not everyone can bare a handheld ^.~
More multi-platform JRPGS please.
I know what platform it's for. ;3
But you'll be surprised when you hear it for yourself!
PS3? I don't think about the Wii on this one 4 obvious reason Tales of Symphonia 2' it coming to Wii so this tittle most gead it for the PS3 I'm sure of it.
TALES IS FTW OMG
I predict it will hit the Ps3, Wii, and Xbox 360!
It only makes sense! Every region has a market. So it would sell the most in Japan on the Wii, the most in European areas on Ps3, and the most in America on 360. That way it leaves the door open for anyone who wants the game, to be able to play it without buying a new console!
I haven't played any of the other tales games, and probably won't play this one either, but with so many people liking this game... it seems like the right thing to do. Plus, alot of companies are trying to put their games on all 3 consoles if they can, so it's a win-win for all gamers!
