Fans of the beta version of Tales of Vesperia have been howling with rage at the release of the PS3 final version, which now seems to border on a remake.
The changes between the two are even more substantial than previously thought, making this an essential title for RPG fans:
Loli pirate Patty Fleur has been added, and integrated into the story, movies and event scenes.
Flynn can be added to the party more frequently, and take the top slot and change skills.
The entire scenario is now fully voiced.
A large number of new skits have been added, apparently bringing the total to twice what was in the beta version.
With two new characters added the story has been adjusted.
Event camera work has been adjusted.
Event scenes can now be skipped.
Three new dungeons have been added along with an additional above ground area.
New bosses and giant monsters have been added.
New missions, events, secret missions and submissions are confirmed.
Party AI has been enhanced.
New ougi for each character have been added.
OVL gauge can now extend to 5 with unknown effects.
New skills have been added.
A total of 26 new attacks for the various characters have been added.
Bosses can be refought in a practice mode.
Arena party battles have been added.
Attack sounds are enhanced.
New items have been added.
Namco Island has more features.
Smaller gameplay changes too numerous to mention are also added.
New, sexier costumes have been added:
There is only one month remaining until the game’s PS3 debut; whether this will sell PS3s as the beta sold Xboxes remains to be seen, but with the new PS3 models in the wings it seems possible.
The only possible detraction is the issue of the game’s resolution…

I actually bought a PS3 for the sole reason of playing this game.
I'm not sure if I should regret this or not.
Rorona is there for you!
Regret it cause this is the only game other than metal gear worth playing. Assuming you're japanese and live in a cave, cause this game ain't worth buying a console for.
Buy Valkyria Chronicles and you'll never regret. You you can also play FFXIII on the hardware it was designed for.
One Red Ring to Rule them all
Pirate loli is cute.
Also: Fuck you fanboys.
I hope this game fails Hard I really do...
Hoohoo... I hold my position: you Japanese PS3 owners can have your enhanced JRPG in the single least important videogame market (mostly due for being a bunch of small isles whose population is perhaps too fixated with portable non-gaming), 360 owners get essentially better versions of 99% of all multiplatform releases from as low a starting point as half the price of the competition.
So yeah, lol.
Now that my 360 needs to be sent in for repairs, I'm left unable to play my beta version with no money for a PS3 in the off chance it's released over here.
I wish I could at least play my beta...
yeah yeah yeah, 360 sucks blah blah blah. So when can I buy this remake in english?
I was full steam behind the 360...then I had 2 of them break...yeah...go go PS3!
Now the question is, will the PS3 version be released in English?
"Event scenes can now be skipped."
What this wasn´t present the first time? Isn´t that like a basic function for a game?
Vesperia events cannot be skipped.
> Party Arena Mode
> Boss Fight Practice Mode
These 2 came as a surprise. A very pleasant surprise.
Language is no barrier to me. Once the title comes out and the total extent of the ambiguous upgrades like "plot integration", "enhanced party AI" and "new dungeons/areas" are detailed, I can make a decision as to weather I'll replay this one.
With Dream C Club coming out around that period, they better have put in some good work. I wouldn't mind having my party use mystic artes efficiently or Estell getting a better support AI.
As a 360 owner I'm glad to see that PS3 owners will also be able to enjoy this awesome game.
Its sad how everyone gets up and arms over a couple of consoles, i say just build a huge colisium put about a hundred of the uber hardcore ps3 and 360 fans in there give them some weopons (non projectile) and tell them to go kill each other. sell tickets put it on pay per veiw (id pay to watch) and do it every year
I'm pretty sure we could get some NGO to sponsor this thing. We could call it "Darwin Tournament" or something.
yeah, but are we going to get an English language port?
Nice to see all the upgrades - but didn't I read somewhere before that the Overlimit Gauge can go up to level 6 now instead of level 5? And I wonder what'll they add in Nam Cobanda Island... =/
Anyways, I'm just glad I didn't buy a XBOX360 and decided to wait for the PS3 - I finished this game on my friend's XBOX360, though. xD
No word on a US release huh? That really sucks.
PC VERSION WITH MOAR EXTRAS THAN PS3 VERSION, DO IT.
the 360 is better
Lol you weaboos need to stop loving the PS3 just because its japanese. I bet atleast some of your grandads died in ww2 fighting the japs.
"The only possible detraction is the issue of the game’s resolution…"
That's enough to be a EPIC FAIL.
Rita cast indignation
BANG!
over 9 million DMG
pure ownage
I would buy the PS3 version but ive already bought the 360 version when it launched, I want the new content but I dont want to buy thier game for 70 bucks all over again. Maybe I should wait till its bargain binned or used? I mean why should I continue to actively support a company that is willing to screw me over like this.
Gotta love Rita's face at the end. -w-
This seems worth buying our own PS3s for, or at least a backwards compatible PS4 when it comes out.
The only reason the 360 has more sales is simply because the console was rushed to get it released a full year before the ps3 in america and 2 years before ps3 in europe. The PS3 has proven to be selling a lot more consoles monthly than the 360, the only place 360 gets more is in america but that is only a small portion of the world, so it's only a matter of time untill the PS3 overtakes the 360 in total sales.
story still sucks tho
Wow that's some really nice updates there, compared to the beta version.
I think Namco Bandai really want this game to sell, i mean look at Eternal Sonata's PS3 version sales, it's crap even though it sold more than the 360. Because of the super late 1 year old port with only extra costumes =/
Guess they learned their lesson :P
This is gonna release in america right. I love my 360, but PS3 should be RPG king like Sony all ways has been
No one can answer that except Namco.
US release w/ dual audio pls!!
so much ps3 fanboyism here. lets say tales of vesperia came to the ps3 first and then the 360 version came later with a lot of additions. would you have called the ps3 version the beta version?
No he wouldn't. Instead the article would read "Traitorous Namco-Bandai ports ps3's best and only jrpg to American scum console. New additions include playing as UGLY and LAME loli pirates, and voice overs of irrelevant scenes.
Original PS3 version still seems superior, despite lack of additions and low resolution. Xbox additions are meaningless.
Death to America! *insert picture of rita being raped*"
tales of Vesperia sucks. and so are both sony and MS.
ἀλήθεια
Funny how Xbots keep saying Sony fanboys start crap but yet it's an Xbot that posted first instigating this fanboy war going on here.
Are you fucking retarded? This entire article was the start of this shit. If Artifact learned how to make unbiased and informative posts, you sony faggots wouldn't be here.
Fact is, the ps3 version was only made to appease the raging japanese xenophobes who would not buy an american made console to play a jrpg on. So 360 was hardly a "beta" because the ps3 was never planned from the get go. The shitty japanese sales was the reason they had to remake it.
Fucking get the company cock out of your ass and use your brain you dumbshit.
This isn't IGN or gamespot he doesn't need to be unbiased, besides it's your fault for getting worked up over a console.
MUHAHAHAHAH! That was a good one.
Umm well no, not really. I don't own ether console. I just love watching the flames fly. And lets face it, This whole topic was nothing but a fanboy shot at the 360.
"Fans of the beta version (the 360 im guessing) of Tales of Vesperia have been howling with rage"
I just fanned the flames thats all. hehehe.
Face it, the truth is the Xbox version of Vesperia is a beta - an "incomplete" product they released. Maybe they should release these additional content as DLC on the Marketplace since xbox 360 loyals LOOOVEEE getting DLC and paying for it. They cream their pants at the thought of "exclusive" Fallout3 dlc.
/s
Yes, yes, more more! Release all of your nerdboy hate! It feeds me! Muhahahahaha!
Game is shit anyway
No amount of crappy loli fanservice can change that fact.
+1 to that
+3 to that
With a wireless adapter and larger hard drive the 360 is the same price as the ps3 and live costs money to use as well. Ive spent more money and headache on my 360 than my ps3.
hmm actually might be worth picking it up even after 100% completion of the 360 version. skipping scenes will be great holding X+A on 2nd plays probably added up to hours.
*sips some soda and eats some popcorn* I don't even own a 360 or a PS3. I just love watching fanboys nerd out at each other. Muahaha
so when is the US release?
and will there be a japanese dub (brd may have enough space)
A good reason to get a PS3 now, even in Europe?
hell yeah, with the PS3 slim for September (maybe), i'm gunna buy a ps3, finally
I couldnt care less about game resolution...
I'd still buy it
and lol at already been raep image
*sits and waits for the PS3 fanboys to spout off anti 360 crap*
Well, if we go by sales numbers worldwide sure the 360 has outsold the PS3 by around 8-9M worldwide or so. Even so, Sony is making a lot more money off of their consoles.
Let's do a little math here shall we? So the PS3 began selling at $500 and $600 and after a year received a price cut to $400 and $500 respectively. The 360 began at about $300 and $400, the elite was released at $400 with the other model's prices being cut to $200 and $300 respectively.
So the PS3 has sold around 23M units with the average unit selling at $500 and the 360 has sold about 31M units at an avg $300. That being said if we multiply the 23M units sold by 500 we get ~11,500,000,000 that's 11.5 Billion dollars. Let's do the same for the 360 then the total gross income is ~9,300,000,000 that's 9.3 Billion dollars. At this point I don't think Sony gives a fuck about the numbers sold because their gross income on Microsoft is more than 2 Billion dollars.
That being said. I think both consoles have their ups and downs and having both I think XBL is better than PSN but overall the PS3 is a better console.
Listen to this man, he is right.
idk - i heard you have to play for XBL subs which turns me off..... while PSN is pretty dead atm. again these are just rumor and hearsay.
Than again you forgot that xbox earns from their xbox live service which is far better than those PS3 crappy online service. And xbox games have ladder match system in games which PS3 DUN have.
Please do a little research before posting. Sony gross income comes nowhere near Microsoft at this point. I mean how can they when they're selling $800 consoles for $500? Sony lost 2Billion the first year and didn't break even til around the end of 2008. So say they sold 10Mil in 2009 their profits only around 5Billion which is 4Billion less then Microsoft.
true gamers own both consoles.
That said, the regional lock on the 360 is the only reason I don't own one yet. Should they release a special edition that comes without regional lock, I'll buy it at a heart beat.
err... I am not a true gamer, but I do own the PS3 plus a very decent PC.
You mean true gamers that have the dough to shell that much on both consoles.
why the fuck would a true gamer buy a 360? Everything it has that's worth a shit is coming to PS3 with more content
360 smells and is dead in japan, fuck yeah.
"http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xbox+vs+ps3+failure+rate
Why the fuck are the xbots denying FACTS??
"
I'm sorry but when did a survey become 100% fact?
I know 6 people that have 360s, only one has had to send his back in. From my survey I can say with 100% certainty that all Xbox 360s have a failure rate of only 16%
Whether or not these numbers are an accurate implication of the failure rate of consoles, the 360 is still outselling worldwide. One thing that could affect those sales is that people have to replace their broken systems. But if it wasn't good enough to replace, then why buy a new one, right?
i loled so hard. The truth is funny sometimes +1376491249714 because i can.
And yet, the 360 out sells the PS3 world wide.
Just STFU and buy BOTH of the damn consoles you homeless bastards. Seriously, xbox and ps3 aren't that expensive. Just because you are too poor to buy both, don't be an asshole and start dissing other consoles. Maybe if you studied during college and got a better degree, you wouldn't be in that damn mess where you only have barely enough money to support one console for crying out loud you stupid mofos.
@xc2,
ive had an issue with my 360, contacted the Ms Support, waited another month and got my 360 back.. but that wasnt my own 360, it was just another console, who was defective anyway, so ive waited another fucking month before i got ANOTHER BOX which worked.
fxc2 what stories have you heard..I bet you don't even have friends...Never had rrod...Just keep good care of your console and don't play too much you fat asses
^+100
i have both, all within half a months pay,
Yeah, games sell the console, not the hardwear.
+3
and Windows OS is selling out other OS, that doesn't make it a better product, it just mean it has better marketing.
I'll make sure to keep an eye on my close to 4 year old 360 that is still going strong. And, if I recall, the PS2 (best selling console of all time) had more than its far share of bugs and glitches.
-8
RRoD to rule all u noobs.
@fxc2
Well if the "red ring of death" was a sells ploy to get gamers to buy more than one 360... why is MS extending the warranty of all 360s by 3 years and repairing the "bricked" 360s for free? Seems that there losing money because of the RROD.
+2. Good point.
Failed
+1
MADDEN
+2
The reason behind it is, that the 360 breaks down after a year or two at max and people with dozens of XBOX games bought it again. The notorious red ring of death might've been a sales trick invented by MS in the first place I think... In the end people end up paying more than they would pay for a single PS3 that is easily far more durable AND runs Blu-Ray not unworthy HD-DVD crap.
It's a Sony!
Well anon.
They don't give you a new console, they repair the old one, which in most cases I have seen breaks again about a month later or so, when you have to have it repaired again. I've heard some stories of 'em breaking down 2 or 3 times a row. In the end people get pissed off and buy a completely new one. And where I'm from the closest place to have your 360 fixed is in Germany. Takes almost a month and too bad they don't pay the shipping fees.
Well I wasn't serious about the sales trick. After all I've used MS programs as far as my memory goes, so I trust them completely.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xbox+vs+ps3+failure+rate [http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xbox vs ps3 failure rate]
Why the fuck are the xbots denying FACTS??
@fxc2: Dunno how your logic works, but seeing as MS sells xbox360's for less than the production and logistics cost makes me wonder if they really want to sell more than one console per user.
Seriously, go take a basic course in economics and you'll understand that no serious company wants to rip off their customers.
Because the Wii is outselling both and the Wii is even more a piece of crap than the Box. You see a connection there?
Because those are not facts. Here is a fact, I work in retail and have not seen any 360s come back, nor has that best buy employee since 2007. Why because when a 360 breaks you mail it off to be repaired. And yes MS dose pay for the shipping hand handling. So there is no telling how many break.
I know plenty of gamers who has never had to ship off there 360. So any number you pull out of your ass means nothing. After all, if the 360 is such a piece of crap, why are they still out selling the PS3?.
who fucking cares about the rest of the world
My 2006 360 is going strong, my 2008 PS3 has already died. YEAH GOOD OLD SONY QUALITY YEAAAAAAAAAAAH FUCK YEAH JAPAN
Goes to show there are a LOT of 360 losers in the world
Hah, I mod my 360 to play online without ever paying for a 360 game. Take that 360, I hate you so I wont spend my money on your game. Just for your online gameplay. I love my PS3 too much to mod it. PS3 for the win.
Truth to be told, 360 is having fair sales on otaku since Idolm@ster is on it, so many other companies are releasing visual novels on it in HD.
To be honest, blu-ray's advantage is finally showing up, especially for the western versions, having a full japanese soundtrack while the 360's version is english only.
The 360 is a better hardware platform in practice, but it needs a high capacity format, or to even just stream/install games
Call me crazy but how about you ditch Disks(DVD, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, etc), and make every thing downloadable to hardrives, which are cheap when you compare $ per GB...
However I play my games on a PC, so disregard I suck cocks.
But you can't sell downloads.
You mean you can't re-sell downloads to like a Gamestop or on ebay?
You (as in "they") already do sell downloads through their online services - XBOX Live, PSN, Steam, etc. Heck, the PSP Go is modeled for fully downloadable content i.e. no disk drive.
An JRPG game with Every written word actually spoken is an amazing feat that not (if not at all) Japanese games have ever pulled off. All hail the 50 GIG disc!
'~Vesperia' has now unseated the king of all talking 'fallout 3'.
Bravo to it! Now.. if only all those Japanese(and the world) punks can get the hint and do ALL of their written yanking and follie (If it's a market place-I need to hear people yacking!) inside the game. Come on!.. FIFTY GIGS people, you have the space now.
Well that won't be the case either.
The article fails to mention "Main Plot voiced".
Not the optional stuff or unimportant NPC smalltalk in towns.
*continues to watch the fanboy nerd rage* Yes dance my puppets dance! MUHAHAHAHA!
Is there anyone else that likes the games more than the consoles they're playing them on?
+2 Me, too!
+1
i'm with you anon. Also, i lol'd at all the fanboy fags.
*sits and wait for more shitbox dumbass fanfags to spout off anti ps3 crap*
Way to make the rest of the PS3 fanbase look like a bunch of retarded idiots. Fags like you are just stupid and think you have to justify your purchase by whining and bitching about it on top of reading a one sided blog about it.
