ToX Ratings

Namco Bandai updated the boxart on its pages for the North American and European releases of Tales of Xillia.
The ESRB, as expected, gave the game a T rating (13+, for blood, mild language, sexual themes, use of alcohol, and violence).
And it would seem PEGI rated the game for ages 16 and up.
Neither of their sites have the rating info on them yet, though.

I'll update the boxart posts with the final boxarts once larger versions are available...and aren't radioactive like the one on Amazon. Yes, I used "radioactive" to describe the colors again. How do the Amazon uploads keep getting messed up like that?
Oddly enough, the North American boxart has a 3D compatible logo on it, but I'm pretty sure the Japanese version wasn't. I don't know if it's a mistake or if they added it to the western release. :/

Another ToX Gameplay Vid

Another gameplay video of the English version of Tales of Xilla surfaced.
I'm so sorry, stuff keeps randomly appearing. I'll have ten billion posts by the end of today.

ToX English Screens (Focus on Alvin and Elize)

To add to the monthly updates we're getting, here are the screenshots of Alvin and Elize to go along with those videos last post.

Elize

Don't ask me why Alvin has less. Two of Elize's screens were up twice so I'm wondering if they messed up.
Also, Rich just said America will be getting at least one of the limited editions too but didn't say how to get it. They'll probably put up that info shortly.
