    The only games that have moved me to tears have been visual novels. Clannad, saya no uta, utawarerumono and ever 17 to be precise.... More

    I played Metal Gear 3 and enjoyed it! It didn't make me cry though... That one electrified guy (can't remember his name) was a bitch to kill though. Fighting him almost brought me to tears...... More

A must for Tales RPG fans, Tales of Nights is the latest Night of Nights MAD, and in this version it has been given an appropriate video mix to accompany the music, incorporating scenes from what looks to be nearly all the games.

Tales of the Abyss Anime Sublime

Tales of the Abyss Anime Sublime

It was with pleasant surprise that I formed my initial, highly favourable, impressions of the Tales of the Abyss anime adaptation, and now after seeing three such episodes of superb quality, I’d like to take the opportunity to recommend the anime unreservedly.

Tales of the Abyss Anime Astounds

Tales of the Abyss Anime Astounds

Being a huge fan of the PS2 science fantasy RPG upon which this anime is based, I was apprehensive about the Tales of the Abyss adaptation, thinking it could well suffer a mediocre remake. However, I am delighted to say the anime is already shaping up to be one of astonishing quality.

2D vs 3D CG – Tales of Hearts

2D vs 3D CG – Tales of Hearts

The upcoming Tales of Hearts, for the DS this winter, is set to have two different versions, one with cutscenes in the anime style the Tales series has traditionally used to great effect, and another in a Final Fantasy style CG style; all of this is very puzzling, but what is even more puzzling is how the two will look.

As you can see, the 3D version comes of looking like “a gang of cosplayers”, and there is little doubt which version will be selling, in Japan at least.

Vesperia: Buy Levels, Gold on Marketplace

Vesperia: Buy Levels, Gold on Marketplace

It has emerged that Microsoft’s saviour RPG, Tales of Vesperia, incorporates downloadable content in a heretofore unseen manner: in fact you can simply eschew playing the game entirely and shell out points/yen on Marketplace to obtain the money and gold, in a brazen imitation of classic MMORPG gold farming, except without the Chinese or eBay.

Tales Digest (Games & Anime)

Some actual screens of the Tales of the Abyss anime have emerged, and on the PSP there is Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, and on the DS Tales of Hearts, due in the winter.

Some actual screens of the Tales of the Abyss anime have emerged, and information on the next two Tales game titles also emerges, though as both are for portables you will have to forgive a lack of enthusiasm on my part. Tales of Hearts will be released on the Nintendo DS in the winter, and on the PSP there is Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, also due in the winter.

See below for the most ill advised character art in recent memory – Tales of Hearts truly has a do not want ambience to it.

Tales of Vesperia New Character Details

Tales of Vesperia - Judith

With the release of Tales of Vesperia imminent in August, for the Xbox360 at least, and the demo version already available for download, more details have emerged: Famitsu has a large number of gorgeous screenshots (the content is gorgeous at least, the screens themselves are the usual pathetically low res and over compressed little things we have come to expect from Famitsu) showing off new elfy character Judith, above, looking very appealing indeed.

The official site has also been updated with her info. All looking very promising.

I will omit the usual grumbling about the PS3 version not being announced yet. When?


Kotobukiya Pulls Figure Over Stabber

Tales of Destiny “Leon Magnus” (or “Lion Magnus”) figure - pulled by Kotobukiya over Akiba stabber「テイルズ　オブ　デスティニー」のフィギュア「リオン・マグナス」

In what is either an act of exaggerated melodrama or craven cowardice, figure maker Kotobukiya has voluntarily suspended the impending August release of their テイルズ オブ デスティニー リオン・マグナス / Tales of Destiny “Leon Magnus” (or “Lion Magnus”) figure, citing the “social effects” of the recent Akiba incident.

In fact it seems the stabber had something of an interest in Leon, having drawn him at some length… ten years ago when he passed out of his middle school star pupil phase of life.

Tales of the Abyss Anime Confirmed?

Anise Tatlin - Tales of the Abyss anime?

It seems that unofficial confirmation of a Tales of the Abyss anime is forthcoming by way of a mention of the title in an anime producer’s portfolio of products worked on. Apparently the production staff has already been settled up to episode 7, so an official announcement can’t be that far away. Other details are still lacking. Moon Phase thinks this can serve as reliable confirmation, and Moon Phase certainly qualifies as a reliable source for such matters.

As an aside, the same source reveals the progress of a new Inuyasha title, although details on this are even scarcer.

I can’t help but be enthused by this news, since Tales of the Abyss probably ranks as my favourite console RPG; hopefully they will do it justice. Looking forward to seeing some more of Anise and Ion, and all the others…

  • Artefact commented on June 15, 2008 07:24

    They said episode 7 already has staff, so it sounds too long to be an OVA... 13 episodes is my guess.... More
