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.

Small ToG Site Update

Oh hey, back to Tales of Graces. An almost unnoticeable update has come up on the official site. Go to the Spec page. You see there at the top where there are different sections you can click on? Go to the third one (the one that has a 2 in it). There's a video (without audio) showing off Asbel, Cheria, and Sophie's preorder costumes.

Also, Japanese Amazon put up the tracklisting for the Tales of Graces version of the Mamoritai ~White Wishes~ single.

• Mamoritai ~White Wishes~
• Mamoritai ~White Wishes~ (Tales of Graces Opening Version)
• Mamoritai ~White Wishes~ (English Version)
• Mamoritai ~White Wishes~ (Original Karaoke)

ToS OVA New PV+Small ToG Site Update

Animate.tv has the new PV for Tales of Symphonia THE ANIMATION up...WITH SOUND. I'll put a YouTube video in this post as soon as someone puts it up.

Also, the Tales of Graces site made a very small update. If you go to the Spec page, you'll see a bit of info on the preorder bonuses. One of the new pages in this section has a bit on the bonus DVD and the other new one shows the Tales of Vesperia costumes I mentioned before.

ToS OVA News Update of "Why don't I live in Japan?"

The News Page on the Tales of Symphonia THE ANIMATION site updated. (The main page updated too, the new PV is playing as a flash video on the top in place of the old one...small problem is STILL NO AUDIO and barely any new footage.)

^Oh haha. They reused a picture from the Exsphere Edition of episode 4.
Now the reason I named this post as I did was because...theatrical advanced screening of the new episode in Japan on December 12-18.

Tenkuu no Canaria

I feel so sick right now, which sucks because it's my birthday. Bah...but the good thing is, Nana played her song Tenkuu no Canaria (the new Tales of Symphonia THE ANIMATION opening) on her radio show, Smile Gang. It's up on YouTube, so listen to it while it's still up~!

Very Small Update For ToS OVA

The News page of the Tales of Symphonia THE ANIMATION Tethe'alla Chapter site updated with a tiny bit on that new PV being shown at Bizan-Sanchou Aki FestaxMachi★Asobi on the 12th I mentioned before. Basically the only new information told here is a confirmation that the new opening theme, Tenkuu no Canaria, will be playing during it. Opportunity to post new pictures is always a good thing, don't ya think?
