Vesperia goes to PS3?


With loli pirate who talks like Mashiro.

Arguments for April Fool's Joke
-Patty basically has the same pose as Carol.

Arguments against April Fool's Joke
-Japan doesn't really do that
-Patty is based off of the pirate class in Radiant Mythology 2. Leave it to Namco to put in a hidden advertisement for another game that doesn't even require as much work as really making a new character.
-Sometimes the covers of Fujishima games make me think he has trouble with original poses. If Patty looks like Carol, Carol looks kinda like Anise. (Hand up near face pose)
-There are things about other games on these same pages, and that Mutsumi art would be harder to fake.

First page:
"A popular title is coming back, now for the PS3!"
"Now you can see Yuri and his friends on the PS3!!! ToV was published for the XBOX360 and it was a big hit, and now it's back with a new character! The new character for the PS3 is Patty Fleur. We can't wait to see how she shows up and now she gets involved with the party!"
"Patty Fleur, played by Satou Chiwa."
"An adventurer with a bad reputation looking for Aifreed's Treasure. Her most distinguishing trait is the way she talks, which makes it hard to tell when she's serious, and when she's just fooling around. Has a bias for attractive people."
"Sell date: Goes on sale some time during 2009
Price: Unknown
Maker: Bandai Namco Games
Hardware: PS3
Genre: [same pretentious junk as last time, don't feel like translating]"

Next page:
"A pretty little pirate with a strange way of talking!"
"When Patty talks, she puts "ja" at the end of sentences like a little old man! And since she likes attractive people, she may be very interested in Yuri."
"She kills with a knife and a gun!"
"She whips out all sorts of things from her pockets and fights with them! She has a style not unlike that of RM2's pirate class, generally using knives and guns."

And then some stuff about the ToV movie, which I think I will have to skip now in favor of spoiling myself on the real thing. This is pretty much the excuse I've been waiting for re: PS3 D:

Tales of VS. will be what they call an "action game." I can't tell if that means jumping from platform to platform and occasionally fighting a boss, or an actual fighting game. Also can't tell if they intend to include anyone besides the four MEN pictured, but they would be idiots not to.

Tales of Graces will be our Mutsumi game. The hero is Asbel, a knight, and the theme is protecting loved ones and defending one's morals. My comment: Mutsumi gets another game with a "blue" hero (instead of red). He kind of makes me think of Flynn. Also, for the Wii? Look, I played Haruka 4, I saw the videos of hiougi in TOS:R where characters are like clipping through monsters, etc. Be careful :|

Also, I have a sore throat.

I was also comparing Patty's design with previous characters to see if it was a shop.. but on the other hand, Asvel's design is unmistakably new and unmistakably Inomata, and why would you bother changing a real scan to edit in fake news if the real news is also exciting? Besides Tales of Versus was already announced on Tales Channel, so we know it exists.

...ANYWAY I think the theory is that Versus is Namco doing Dissidia.

PS I hope your sore throat gets better!

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

Thank you >_<

Come to think of it, Genis' design in Tales of Phantasia also had his hand near his face.

I AGREE WITH YOUR THEORY.

Hey, new icon! :O

It's more skuldnoshinpu's theory, but I'm not complaining. I love the Viva Tales of skits, that+battles would be fun!

...SE should make a Dissidia 2 with Kain and Edgar, incidentally. ;_; So many great heroes and here's this guy with his CHAINSAW...

[moumusu.livejournal.com]

You mean they weren't in Dissidia? LOL. Fail. I ♥ Edgar.

New icon of Arika's head exploding with steam :>

Each FF game only got two characters, the hero and the villain. I'd have probably been pretty angry if they'd put in Locke instead of Terra, so it's just as well like this.

Though I still want a sequel! XD;

Maybe it's just the fact that Yuuri shares his last name with Marth (out of all quirky rpg-names), but I have this really good feeling about Vesperia which I kind of lack with the recent Nintendo titles. ToS2 still won't be out here for months, but so far I've only heard things about it which even leave me in doubt as to whether I should wait for it or instead just spend this gift voucher for a wii title I have on something of which I'm already certain that I don't REALLY REALLY want it.

Anyway: ALL RIGHT, excuses! I'm really glad this game got announced for the PS3 now, even though my bias towards a painfully expensive Sony console instead of the xbox is still only seminally justified. I guess it's just my instincts telling me that the ps3 will end up with a larger collection of jrpg's with pretty hero boys eventually (or at least I think we can expect more ports of Tales games with all sorts of exciting bonuses that screw over the owners of other consoles).

I heard sore throats are best treated with richly topped ice cream servings of choice btw.

I hear ToS2 was a little light on content. Also, I have that personal complaint founded in the lack of Kratos >3>

I dunno, I think favoring the PS3 is justified. Several worthy 360 RPGs have been ported to PS3, and then there's the hardware itself...PS3 has no region lock and it's not as likely to break and leave you utterly screwed. I get the feeling that 80% of what goes on with XBOX 360 in Japan is idolm@ster, and if that's not your thing then might as well just play it safe 9_9

Gee, that sounds like a good recommendation :> I will try this!
