    To make a long story short, this month's Nintendo Power contains an article about ToS2, and features the main character, Emil, on the front cover. As we all know, NP doesn't really feature anything that isn't destined for North America. What surprised me most is that this is the first Tales game to get a NA release confirmation before it even came out in Japan. Now, images!

    My main concern really, is the voice actors. It would be excellent if the old one's returned to fill their old roles, but TotW: RM, makes it look improbable. Though, Sony may have just gone with other VAs to save money, since ToS never made an NA PS2 release.
     
    Considering Nintendo played a big part in localizing the original ToS, they might go for the original voice actors. Though now that the Tales of series can stand alone in North America, Namco might just keep the localization to itself and keep the voice actors from RM. I dunno. :\ I hope we get the originals though.

    ...lol, I was about to say "because Cam Clarke is awesome" but then I remembered KRATOS ISN'T IN THIS GAME. sdkjlfsfdslfhs *FLAIL* ;_;
     
    I need to re-new my Nintento Power subscription -_-''

    That's awesome, considering once a Wii becomes AVAILABLE, I'm getting one. Meaning, IMMA GIT THAT RIGHT DER. I'm happy though, I was so worried about not being able to get it T-T
     
    Does it only come out on Wii? :(

    I gave ToS on the Gamecube and must say it is my all-time favourite game, if ToS2 only comes out on Wii I think I'll have to miss out :shocked:

    I just found out, that all skits and events will be voiced over, which is more than the previous game, being as the skits weren't voiced in the last one. I am happy about this, it's like ToD, I haven't played it, but I have watched vids of ToD.

    Also, Kratos will still voice the opening prologue, like on the last game, even though he isn't in the game.

    One thing I always look for in sequels are the same actors or the same VAs. I hate it when you play this game, get used to the voice and then bam, next game rolls around the VA is different. So I hope they keep the same VAs.

    I can't wait for this game, it's on my top 10 list of games I want this year.

    That's the standard for Tales games now. Skits are all animated (sorta XD) and voiced. They just... don't seem to like doing that when they localize it for us. I hope they do this time, though. Even if I don't understand all of it, I adore the skits in the PS2 version of ToS. They're just so much livelier with voices. @_@;
     
    OMG Super Smash Bros. Brawl Review!? Awesome! lol (TOS 2 = epic)

    I hope they keep the voices for the skits too, it just seems so much better, it would be awesome if they kept them voiced, yes, it's alot more lines, but it makes the game that much better.
     
    The lead character reminds me a little bit of Marche from FFTA.

    "I must complete the regeneration!"
    "LOL NO COLETTE, YOU'RE GOING HOME!"

    Which reminds me, I still need to beat ToS1 :x
     
    As much as I would kill for a ToS sequel...I can't help but be a little bit iffy about it because of the focus on monster collecting and the lack of a world map. If it's anything like Tales of the World's point-and-click system (especially if it's mission based), I don't think it'll be able to live up to ToS's standards.

    Still, I really hope I'm wrong and that it turns out to be great. Wii needs some RPG love.
