When it was first released, the Xbox 360 version of Tales of Vesperia attracted comments such as “Aren’t these spaces a bit strange? Shouldn’t there be more characters?” and even “I feel the loli content seems a bit lacking,” and it seems the above image confirms these suspicions fully.

The PS3 edition of loli pirate RPG Tales of Vesperia has sold the most units of any Tales game ever on its opening day, selling more than twice as many copies as the popular Xbox beta version, with an estimated total of 147,000.

Responding to the complaints of Xbox 360 Tales of Vesperia beta testers, a developer has laid bare the not so shocking truth of just how Namco was paid off by Microsoft to secure an “exclusive” release, but instead merely used the Xbox subsidy to reduce development costs on the PS3 version, which it expected to sell better.
However, Sony intervened and blackmailed them into adding massive amounts of new content if they wanted to be allowed to go ahead with the PS3 release at all…

Xbox 360 users, stung by being the paying beta testers for Tales of Vesperia, a game touted as an Xbox exclusive and the sole reason many own their consoles, are launching a petition for redress from Bandai-Namco Games, who they accuse of “underhanded” and “unfair” tactics for daring to release the game on the PS3 in massively upgraded form.

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.

A detailed comparison of the Tales of Vesperia demos for the PS3 and Xbox 360 reveals that the PS3 actually has noticeably inferior graphics to the Xbox 360 beta which was circulated to paying testers some time ago. The PS3 version actually has a lower resolution than the Xbox 360 version, for reasons we can only wonder at…

The first things fans did upon the release of the Tales of Vesperia demo on the PS3 was apparently to investigate new pirate loli character Patty’s underwear, with a view to finding out what colour and type they were. Their findings are visible below.
Such topics are of course of grave interest to Xbox 360 users in Japan, where Idolmaster continues to be one of the major reasons for Xbox ownership, so it is undoubtedly mortifying to be denied such an important gameplay experience.

The reason why the Xbox 360 “beta test” of Tales of Vesperia never received extra costumes in the form of sexy swimwear has been laid as bare as Rita’s navel in her new bikini: they were saved for the PS3 release, much to the disappointment of Xbox players of the game, who it seems are betrayed completely by the unmissable raft of extras in the new version.

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.
