With the generously long beta testing period on the Xbox 360 finally over, Tales of Vesperia is finally nearing release on the PS3, and has been firmly dated.
With the news that the additions planned for the long-awaited PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia appear to have been present from the start, Bandai have been accused of betraying Xbox owners with the “exclusive” nature of the game’s Xbox release.
They recently issued an explicit denial that there were any traces of the new features in the original game, especially the new character. Fans are less than convinced…
This evidence is rather stronger than the lingering traces of pirate loli Patty present in the code:
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?
Even as PS3 owners have been celebrating the much anticipated release of Tales of Vesperia for the PS3, some Xbox 360 owning otaku have been infuriated by the “exclusive” nature of their release, and have resorted to typically extravagant displays of outrage.
Above you see their disc breaking and magazine burning… A possible case of overreaction?
Tales fans who have been awaiting Tales of Vesperia for the PS3 will not be disappointed; a significant array of upgrades to the game has been announced.
The upgrades planned:
The long awaited PS3 version of blockbuster Xbox 360 “exclusive” RPG Tales of Vesperia has finally been officially announced.
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.
Other details are scarce, but given the quality of recent Tales anime we might be well served by this.
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.
I like it. You know, people with time can spend it grinding. People with money (generally those without time) can buy the levels and zip through the game, enjoying the other aspects. ... More
Honestly, what the crap... If you don't have time to kill some monsters for gold and EXP, why are you buying this game? Those tasks are all part of the enjoyment in an RPG, I... More

Microsoft just fails to deliver. Sure, they have lots of pretty good games. But how the hell do we play them games if the consoles just screw up too much.... More
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?
Tales fans, at least the few who own an Xbox360, can rejoice with the knowledge that Namco has officially announced the Japanese release as being August 7th, with an expected price of ¥7,800. The game has been designed with full internationalisation in mind (so forget about a Japanese dub), with an English language version set to follow shortly. No word on the PS3 release, of course.
Any ardent fan of the excellent Tales series of RPGs will already know about the magnificent looking テイルズ オブ ヴェスペリア / Tales of Vesperia, the latest and next generation incarnation of the series, but there has been something of an upset over the bizarre decision to release the game first on the Xbox360, with a PS3 release not even confirmed yet – whilst no denials, and the eminent logic of releasing the game to its main market on the PS3, as well as prior precedents in porting this series and others, all tend to suggest the PS3 release is all but inevitable, no official announcement has been forthcoming, until now… sort of.
It seems some observant soul managed to spot buried in a Bandai Namco financial presentation an entry (now amended) for ToV listed as due for release later in the year for both Xbox360 and PS3, however no sooner had the news got out than the document was amended to refer only to the Xbox360 release; the original page is mirrored below.
Just what kind of mistake this was may only be revealed by the passage of time, but most Tales fans can but hope it represents accidental confirmation of the PS3 release, and hopefully for this year and not next.
I guess this was right, come to think of it...... More
Unless MS is paying them it will hit the PS3 in time, its just easier to dev for the 360. And fankly if they work on polishing the thing up and relase it with a... More
