It seems Japanese RPG publishers are convinced the western gamer will never have any truck with funny Chinese cartoons, for we hear that upcoming oppai RPG Star Ocean 4 will be stripping out plenty of its anime visuals in favour of Final Fantasy-esque computer graphics, which when combined with the completely English dub will help spare the American consumer the distaste of having to deal with anything too foreign.

Happy news for Tales fans arrives in the form of confirmation that Xbox 360 “exclusive” Tales of Vesperia, the latest of Namco’s home console “mothership” titles, is to be adapted into a theatrical anime, to be released in 2009.

As we heard, the producer of Star Ocean 4 harbours a desire to make a full eroge, but, alas, creative direction at Square is not liberal enough to allow him this chance. It doesn’t seem to have stopped him from trying though, as both in the latest trailer, and the previous, erotic and romantic elements abound:

We heard of the producer of Square Enix’s latest RPG for the Xbox 360, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, wishing he had the opportunity to make an “ecchi game”, but he was denied.

The unusual decision to release the latest Tales RPG “Tales of Hearts” in two versions with drastically differing visual styles in the movies and packaging, one based on 3D computer graphics ala Final Fantasy, the other on classic Tales anime visuals, turned heads when it first came to light, particularly given the dubious choice of character designs in the 3D version.
