Tales of Namco ★ Club~

[Speed]

Here's some new Xillia info for you all.

Spoiler:

She is Jude's childhood friend, and is known to be kind-hearted. Despite her adorable appearance, she is quite formidable in combat and sports. Apparently, she uses sticks and clubs in battle.

 

[thedestinedblade]

Kinda figured Jude and Mira wouldn't become love interests because of the age difference. :P She's cute though.

I gotta say I'm a big fan of the Tales of symphonia series. Anyways, does anyone know if there will be a Tales of Symphonia 3.

Doubt they'd stretch it that far. Many people have suggested a prequel to the first ToS, but I think Namco-Bandai has moved on from Symphonia, which is sad since I found Dawn of the New World really disappointing.

 

[Tomboynerd]

Does anyone know about Tales of and Tles of Xilla.

 

[Aether]

Wow, maybe if we got bonuses like that the sales wouldn't be so bad in the States.

An interesting article that all of you should read. :D

That's mostly pointing out the obvious, and it's somewhat ignorant of Bamco's financial issues, but it has some good ideas. I hope we get Xillia too, we just need Graces F to sell well over here.

I'm not too sure yet. I think before we officially say that, we have to wait until the OVA has ended. I mean, it was between the two arcs in which they released DOTNW.

I think I'm going to get Graces solely so Namco-Bandai realizes how many fans there are. I don't have a PS3 to play it on, so unless I have borrow my cousin's, buying it would be the most I could do.

And there you have it folks - Tales of Xillia's loli!

A mandatory for every Tales game. :laugh:

 

[Cherrim]

She's cute! Her clothing kinda makes me think of a cross between Yuri and Estelle's with a non-matching hairpiece. XD;

I'd say that's a good thing because otherwise they might give us more stuff like DotNW for ToS and that's a major do not want. I'd rather they leave it alone than mess up the canon anymore. :<

 

[Joey's Rattata]

-bump-

So I was looking at Dat Loli, and realized she really reminds me of Alice from Dawn of the New World.

1) Her hairband. The placement is extremely similar to the pink band Alice wore as part of her... hat thing.

2) The color scheme in general. Pinkish whitish, the both of them.

3) The bottom half of their outfit looks extremely similar. I don't even need to explain, I believe.

 

[thedestinedblade]

^lol, Leia Roland is her official name.

I guess she does look a bit similar to Alice, but the Symphonia character designer is one of the character designers for this game as well, so it shouldn't be that big of a surprise to see some similarities within different characters.

 

[Joey's Rattata]

...Leia.

Leia.

I will always think of Star Wars when I hear her name. >__<

And Roland will make me think of Luminous Arc. Goshdarnit Namco, be original. First Hisui/Kohak, now we have two cameos in one character! D: [/half kidding on this line]

And... I know, I was just pointing it out. Trying to bring some life to this club... ):

 

[thedestinedblade]

Hisui and Kohak were the brother and sister from Hearts, no? Had their names been used in another game?

lol, Roland is the main dude from Luminous Arc 2 right? Wasn't a fan of the first, so didn't bother with second. :\

 

[Joey's Rattata]

Hisui and Kohak(u) were twin maids in a famous Japanese-only Visual Novel called "Tsukihime".

:laugh: I think I watched a bit of the anime way back. Shiki is the only name I remember though.

Have you played Hearts, btw?

 

[Joey's Rattata]

Nope, haven't played Hearts yet. Plan on importing it sometime, but it's not very high on my want list. Not a fan of it's battle system. (Played it on an emulator once to test out the english patch...)

 

[thedestinedblade]

Aside from Graces, its the only mothership title I haven't played. The English patch was never finished, was it? I've wanted to play it if not only because of Kohak.

Were you a fan of Radiant Mythology? Third game was released in Japan a couple days ago, which is why I ask. I found the first game pretty bad, so I'm wondering if you imported the second one.

I played the first RM, hated it. Didn't import the second RM, but I have the third one. I pre-ordered it, and it arrived on the day of release.

It's pretty good, my only complaint is the difficulty curve. But it's amazing, a vast improvement over the first game.

The amount of skits is amazing, and most of them are voiced, which is even more amazing due to all the characters in the game. I can certainly believe Namco when they say they "maxed out" the PSP.

The gameplay is quite fun, and you can never get bored due to all the characters in it. Even playing as a caster is fun.

It's hard to run out of TP as long as you're smart about it. The AI, however, is not as smart as you and tends to run out of TP quite fast. But they gain it back rather easily, so that isn't a problem unless you have a healer in your party that spams Barrier. (Which can easily be turned off.)

And the Quests are entertaining as well, and the story ones are full of funny skits.

 

[alisaie]

I enjoy playing as a caster sometimes. It's easier to 'multitask' if you're a caster, and you don't have to worry about dying as much unless your forward people are dead or being... dumb (which sadly is what's usually the case, which is why I'm usually someone like Lloyd, and my sister would be Genis).

Radiant Mythology 3 kind of makes me wish I had a PSP to play it on. Alas, I do not.
