You seem to have stumbled across my Tales Updates, whether you meant to or not. Here, I give info on Namco-Bandai's Tales of RPG series, known for its real time battle system (the LMBS) and its animated cut scenes made by Production I.G. It all started on December 15, 1995 when Wolf Team's Tales of Phantasia was released for the Super Famicom in Japan. (Members of Wolf Team later broke off and made Star Ocean, but that's another story for another time.) With the development of the series' fifth game, Tales of Symphonia, Tales gained its own studio dedicated solely to making new games in the series...at least it was solely until they revealed in 2009 that they were working on Keroro RPG.

ToG Chara Vids 7+Wallies and CM Streams

The Tales of Graces site has updated. I guess Friday really is going to be the day for major updates, just as I suspected. It won't be long until the game is actually released, though.

The Character section has a few new videos up for Sophie (click third thumbnail in her profile), Malik (click first thumbnail), and Pascal (click second thumbnail). The Movie section put up those last few commercials. If you haven't seen them yet, just scroll down a bit and look at my previous posts. Lastly, the Special section has three wallpapers up:
Asbel (1280x1024)
Asbel (1024x768)
Sophie (1280x1024)

ToG--Another New Commercial

Another commercial for Tales of Graces aired (this time, it's your usual 15 seconds).

Oh, and one more thing before I end this post...
SOPHIIIIIIE!!!
I'm sorry, it's an ongoing joke now...

ToS OVA Advanced Screening Guest List Revealed

From the news page of the Tales of Symphonia THE ANIMATION official site.

12/12: Masaya Onosaka (Zelos), Nana Mizuki (Collet; OP theme artist), Yumi Touma (Refill)
12/13: Masaya Onosaka and some people involved in production
12/14: Yumi Touma, Ai Orikasa (Genius)
12/15: Masaya Onosaka, Fumihiko Tachiki (Kratos)
12/16: Houko Kuwashima (Presea), Akemi Okamura (Shihna)
12/17: See 12/13
12/18: Some dudes involved with production

I could've done that list better (especially the translation of seisaku kankeisha), but...eh.

Even More ToV Costumes

I thought I was finished with this game...I guess I should've known better.

Dengeki Online has pictures of each costume up.
Click here to see those.

Yuri=Creed Graphite (Tales of Hearts)
Estelle=Elraine (Tales of Destiny 2)
Karol=Milhaust Selkirk (Tales of Rebirth)
Rita=Walter (Tales of Legendia)
Raven=Van Grants (Tales of the Abyss)
Judith=Richter Abend (Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Knight of Ratatosk)
Repede=Asras (Tales of Innocence)
Flynn=Lukius Bridges (Tales of the Tempest)
Patty=Mithos Yggdrasill (Tales of Symphonia)

And still no Tales of Eternia love. Seriously, two Escorts got costumes in this set and Eternia as a Mothership title is getting no love whatsoever. I'm sad. (And yes, I covered up Mithos' last name as a spoiler >.>)

ToG New CM

A new Tales of Graces commercial has arrived (and it's a whole minute long ). Apparently this is from the Japanese Nintendo Channel.

And now I'm just watching the countdown to a certain trailer for a certain game in a certain other, more popular JRPG series tick down. XD
