Xbox 360 Owners Betrayed by Tales of Vesperia

The much anticipated PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia was recently announced, and of the many extras included in it the most notable addition is pirate loli character Patty Fleur.
However, a 2ch denizen who just happened to be browsing the compiled code for the game with a hex editor (let us not enquire too deeply as to why) has discovered evidence that she was in fact in the game from the start, in the form of mentions of her name alongside those of other characters.
This plainly casts doubt on her “new” status, and possibly suggests that all this was planned from the start?
EST (Estelle), RIT (Rita)… and PAT (Patty)?
A variety of reasons seem plausible, such as development schedule, disc space, etc., but a marketing tactic on the part of Namco, for use after Microsoft’s bribe wore off, seems most plausible.
Once again, PS3 owners are thanking Xbox 360 owners for participating in the fee-paying beta test…

XD nice
lol'd
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO indeed.
Nice indeed, can't find a better example of that laugh ;3
>XD
Cancerous shit.
LMFAO
if there just using the 360 to see what they did wrong they should at least offer an update for what they add to the PS3 version and a down load for that character
That would be nice, but I wouldn't mind since I'd get the PS3 version too anyways. Lol'ing at the news though. I'd be laughing if it was truly planned from the very start.
Anyways, since it was Microsoft I was expecting this so it's not too much of a problem since I like the Tales of game and some games on the Xbox (although the Xbox is now heavily used for Vesperia replays)
Anyways, would love to see what they'd do in the new additions. Saw the trailer and it looks great so far
Best comment here. There's really no need for the 360/PS3 hating every other idiot is spewing.
I'll probably end up getting the PS3 version as well. I highly enjoyed the "fee-paying" beta .. and it was definitely a low "fee" for the number of hours I got out of the game (150+ and counting).
I hope the PS3 version allows online play though... that would be totally awesome. But I highly doubt it.
bah I wasnt interested in the 360 version anyway, so I probably wont be getting the ps3 version either... what DOES bother me a bit is the announcement of Ninja gaiden Sigma 2...
It's quite similar to what's going on with this game
What WOULD be a good tactic, is the namco people, after everyone has bought the ps3 version, SUDDENLY released a secret code/combination/patch/passward that unlocked the new content (new character) on the xbox360, which already had them on the CD, just kept in secret >.>
but that's really unlikely...
@Cokematic
There's plenty of reason for hate here if you don't have the money to own a PS3 and if you live in Europe so you haven't even played it yet and it's being ruined for you
Not that I will actually be hating because it is pointless, but there's plenty of reason for it
But Europe is where the PS3 sells by far best, despite being even more expensive than the other markets. In short, Europe is an up market market. Then agin of course, that still wont mean that just anyone bum can afford one.
It is not like an essential for existence!
WHY???- They already know Xbox fans are dumb enough to keep buying one after how many 'red rings', Cardboard Coffins, and glitches - why should they offer anything more?
I never trusted Xbox 360. I've never had a problem with my PS3 and it's years old- hell, my PS2 still works like new and that's really old. I guess you really 'get what you pay for' in Japan.
AMEN to that bro
My 360 has actually outlasted both my PS2 and my DS... it's kinda weird actually...
what the heck are you talking about?? i bought my xbox secondhand and the original owner said he bought it on the release day, and mine only got the ring once. microsoft sent me a brand new one for free. they said they will send any person a new one if they got the red ring. i didnt even have a warranty on it. the only reason red rings even happen is from some glue holding a chip melting from overheating (the intercoolers increase rick of it)
Tell that to PS3 owners who buy games like fallout 3. Microsoft does everything possible to screw Sony over.
That's not Sony's fault. It's just a poor 360 port by Bethesda.
Yes, I have F3 for the PS3 and yes, it freezes and stuff. But it's still fun.
M$ payed for exclusive DLC, which included a level cap adjustment that PS3 gamers don't have access to.
PC Fallout 3 is glitchier than the both of the console versions. My computer exceeds the recommended requirements, yet it won't even make it past the start-up screen. I didn't even have CCCP installed yet. From what I've seen and heard, the patches that Bethesda released cause more problems than they solve.
Exactly what he wrote. The 360 has proven that it's good on the DL department. I don't think that it's too much to ask that when the PS3 gets their version that the 360 get the content as a DL option, I'm even willing to pay for it (was done with Vader in SCIV) so long as the price isn't ludicrous (anything over 400 M$ points).
"a 2ch denizen who just happened to be browsing the compiled code for the game with a hex editor (let us not enquire too deeply as to why)"
hmm.... why indeed... =_='
There are communities on the net dedicated to figuring out file formats for games, especially 3D games. That's how you can find model viewers for all 3D final fantasy games, for example.
Browsing the binaries is part of the process of figuring that stuff out.
Nah, it just so happened he accidentally run a hex editor, and accidentally opened the file in question, and accidentally browsed through that section in which he accidentally glanced upon and discovered the gem.
A cat is to be blame for all of the accidents
hey, not Sony's fault for Microsoft not going bluray
I doubt that this wasn't included because of Blu-Ray. More than likely it is just to make people want to buy it again. Though, I am now glad I didn't buy this when it first came out, at least I am until I get the disappointment of not having the PS3 version coming to the states.
Like ToDR and ToD:DC as well as Eternia (non-European ver. for PSP) and Symphonia port and other good games they could've brought over. -.-''
I'm happy but also scared if they ever decide to bring it over despite the Americans will need to work this one over again. Just hope they aren't too stingy.
360 Vesperia has over 2gb of free disk space on the double-layer dvd. PAL version is actually coming out with BOTH japanese and english audio, still on one dvd. So guess what? The whole thing about lack of disk space is bullshit from Namco.
Every 360 game has 2gb of free space and is used for protection purposes.
*Paying* beta test.
Not sure about wording this to be honest.
News about this discovery was actually posted on other forums several weeks ago. =) Only her name is mentioned in the game. Character model not.
Source.
Expect Namco to offer this "new" content for the 360 as DLC, for a price of course.
As an Xbox360 owner, I'm actually okay with that. This game was worth more than it's price (clocked in at 150+ hours), so doling out a few more bucks for more awesome content isn't going to hurt my pride.
I'm just praying that there will be an English Version for PS3 and DLC for Xbox360. :S
As a side note, congratulations to PS3 owners who are going to buy this game! You will not be disappointed!
We need some rage here, for those who owns the 360.
Don't promote hate, guys. I don't see any problem on this.
360 users, you got to enjoy the game earlier, isn't it? We PS3 users have to wait for a year more for the game. In exchange, we get the new contents. It's just fair. On the contrary, I will feel strange if they are not adding any new contents, afterall it's quite a long wait! Now we finally get the chance to play the game, just leave us alone, alright?
Is it really? We who bought the game on the 360 find out later on that we got used so that the PS3 version can get the ultimate version.
Getting used, not cool.
Paying full price for a not finished product, not cool.
Not even getting access to the finished product, japanese developpers you can go to hell.
Hey, if you are using anything from Microsoft already are paying for some unfinished product. :D
^agreed.
Just look at the 360. It is unfinish product but microsoft still haven't finish fixing the RRD (Scrstch that I don't think M have any intention of fixing the RRD).
Well that's weird, my first gen Xbox 360 would like to have a word with you since it has never RRODed.
Seriously, like I've heard before, the world is divided between assholes and non assholes...each console has some of each defending it.
So far you two seem like assholes.
Why don't you look at yourself in the mirror and see what an UNWIPED ASSHOLE you are. You just cant accept that the 360 is prone to problems. Yours might work but it doesnt erase the fact that A LOT (YES A LOT) OF 360 CONSOLES HAVE RROD. And dont bitch that I'm a fanboy coz I have BOTH the 360 and PS3. Sheesh calling others assholes just because this. I don't get why you have the right to call others assholes. You just proved what an actual UNWIPED ASSHOLE you are!
You sure sound like a fanboy
I never said the 360 didn't have it's problems however when I said "I'd like the Xbox not to be used a beta machine" one of you responded "Oh well, the 360 is already half made anyhow so who cares."
Not only did that not really address the issue, it was just a blatant and random stab at someone who didn't even say anything bad about the opposing consoles to begin with.
Wether you have the Xbox 360, the PS3, the Wii or the Atari for all I care, that's an asshole responses.
Which makes you, an asshole.

Thats a stupid reason for an asshole like you. I'm just calling you an UNWIPED ASSHOLE SINCE YOU HAD THE GUTS TO CALL OTHERS ASSHOLE!!! It has nothing to do with consoles. SO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!!! PERIOD!
Guts to call others asshole?
...you don't speak english as your first language do you? Asshole isn't anywhere near as mind blowingly horrible as you might think.
Actually the game isn't even released where I live yet. If we do actually get it, it will probably be after the PS3 version so I feel extra hurt
Sure is an ass move by Namco.
