Remember earlier last month, when it appeared that Namco Bandai's Makoto Yoshitsumi, the executive producer for Tales of Vesperia and producer for Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Symphonia, was about to reveal the next Tales of title in the Famitsu, and it turned out to be an interview just about Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X?
According to the webmaster for Namco Bandai Games International, it appears we might know when to expect the announcement.
Tales Union writes: "Last month we reported on a tweet from Namco Bandai's Makoto Yoshitsumi, the executive producer for Tales of Vesperia and producer for Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Symphonia, about a recent interview he has just completed with Famitsu. It turns out that said interview had nothing to do with the new Tales announcement, however."
The publishing of Tales games is frustrating, they rarely make two games for a single platform, how could they hope to build or sustain a fan base?
I went from TOS on GameCube, to TO Abyss on PS2, to TOV on 360, TO TOS2 on Wii, after TOG they will make one for the PS3…WTF?
They should ether stick to a platform for at least a generation or go multiplatform.
According to a recent radio interview that was leaked online, it appears that the rumored PS3 Tales of title, rumored to be named Tales of Unitia, has been confirmed with a release date, alongside another PSP Tales title.
I wonder if they'd do a multi-platform release ala FFXIII if this came to NA/EU?
Japanese is an annoying language to listen to.
Actually, almost all languages are. If you don't understand what they're saying it's fucking annoying listening to them ramble. Just like I'm sure it is for people listening to English.

I'm an English speaker and I think listening to English Music and people ramble is much more annoying than any foreign language. Mostly because people like you have nothing interesting of intelligent to say.
Plus the sound of tone based languages like Korean or Japanese sounds nice, especially in music unlike something German or English.
Title was very misleading. Thought it was going to say Tales of Vesperia coming to outside of Japan. I couldn't care about this new Tales game because it probably won't be available to people outside of Japan. :(
i'm very happy that a new tales of game is on it's way ..but namco bandai america being the stupids they are ..will probably NOT release it or butch the translation..
Yeah i'm angry ... i can somewhat guess that tales of versus didn't make it ..BUUT I AM STILL WAITING FOR VESPERIA PS3 or TALES OF GRACES .
How is that so hard ???? ANSWER SCAMCO !!
theres still hope for a NA vesperia PS3, http://playstationlifestyle... Though i wouldnt call this a confirmation.
That's what I'm talking about...Bandai Namco needs to stop with this bs and release the enhanced PS3 version of TOV here in NA. And who knows if this new title will even drop here. I need some good RPGs.
And I'm not sure where you've been recently, but the PS3 is where all the JRPGs ARE. Shift happened last year some time. The 360 has had what? Magna Carta 2, FF XIII, ROF and N32 (more of a hackn'slash than RPG that one)?
I could rhyme off about a dozen JRPGs on the PS3 that are out this year, exclusively on Sony's platform. And those are just the ones that are confirmed to be localized.
MS seems to have abandoned the genre entirely. Which is a shame, as Lost Odyssey and some of the early 360 JRPGs were really brilliant (possibly simply on account of the market being starved for HD JRPGs).
I'm guessing he was meaning ones that were more JRPG-ish, instead of the mix that some of the recent PS3 RPGs have been.
And all of those have been released this year. If we add Last Rebellion and ROF Sony's platform has simply released more JRPGs this year and will continue to do so - Trinity: Souls, Atelier Rorona, Neptune, Ar Tonelico 3, etc.. Next year there's already FF XIV, WKC2 (likely) and Another World to look forward to.
A good chunk of the aforementioned games are exclusive, mind you. And that's platform exclusive, not even on the PC. I'm not sure why I'm getting disagrees for stating the obvious.
I bought a 360 for JRPGs back when the PS3 had none and while it served it's purpose then, it's become relatively useless at present for serving me the genre that I enjoy. If you were a JRPGophile back in 2008, the 360 was terrific. These days you need a PS3. Period.
all my prayers were answered^^
BUT I WANT TALES OF VESPERIA ON MY PS3 -NamcoBandai..do you hear me?-
Considering the rumors that most of the voice work was already done, dunno why Namdai is waiting on releasing it.
My only guess(which doesn't make sense even so weird) Is that they did the voice work for it and then for whatever reason didn't deem it a good idea to release as the cost of the release would just cause more losses. But I honestly doubt that's the case. Vesperia would sell a crap ton on PS3 so all they need to do is release it.
It's either that or there is some contract that was made with MS that is preventing them from releasing it and they are just waiting for that thing to expire so they can release it.
If we don't see or hear anything about it at TGS this year then I really don't know what the hell is going on with it.
there was no tales of release at all
not versus , not graces , not vesperia PS3 , not tales of the world 2
4 tales of games went by and phantasia dongeon X will probably be lost too
Not a big fan of tales. Quite ironic though that I love Star Ocean's battle system, yet I detest the one in tales. Considering the battle system of both are almost the same thing too...ugh....
Earlier today was the first day of Tales of Festival 2010, which brought some new news along with it, along with partial results of the Tales of Popularity poll that was going on at Tales Channel earlier this year.
It better be good news! As in, more-Tales-games-reaching-NA news!
next time they want to make money, port the damn game to other regions not just for Japan.
Cuz i don't know why we don't have a Tales of Vesperia PS3 in other regions:/
American Tales of Graces or PS3 Vesperia, please.
Tales of Vesperia for 360 was the best RPG I played this new generation.
Loved that game to death. I really wish they would do some kind of DLC and add the PS3 only stuff to that game.
i never really got into the tales games. i should try them cause there are alot of fans out there that really love them.
