Not much info has been released about this game, but I just saw a lot of screenshots and pictures posted at another forum. Two new characters were unveiled.

Apparently there will be two versions, one with anime cutscenes and the other with CG. Both kinds look really good, but some of those CG screens made me "whoa."
..Huh, that looks pretty cool. Maybe I'll have to buy a new DS after all.
in b4 CG version sells horribly compared to the other.
And I'll be quietly raging because the CG surely took way more time and looks much better OBJECTIVELY.
I think. Or that's just my opinion.
Basically I think it boils down to many layers of particle dust VS. lens flare-esque anime special effects.
I dunno, they both look pretty good. =/
Game looks rockin'.
Tales of Innocence and Tales of the Tempest didn't get English releases. Hard to imagine this one will.
Third time's the charm!
I have a feeling this one will. It looks like it's got wayyy more money behind it than either of those.
And Tales of Innocence's fan translation should be done sometime this year. I'M EXCITED
I have a feeling we don't even want to know how many great games we've missed because they didn't make it out of Japan. That dood, Kunzite, with the weird katar-like weapons reminds me of Mega man.
As far as DS games go, we haven't missed too many interesting RPGs. I typically watch worldwide DS releases like a hawk since I have no current-gen systems. There was one old-skool dungeon crawler with amazing artwork, and a couple mash-ups (think Namco x Capcom) that looked entertaining.
One good game missed is one too many though. :(
Atleast it has gotten better since the Playstation era. ******* that sucked.
holy balls

Still needs more English release. :(
Too many ****ing tales games. holy ****, give it a rest.
Hasn't stopped Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest!
Main FF series started in '87, is at 13th release. Main DQ series started in '86, is at 10th release. Main Tales series started in '95, is at 11th release.
too many tales games in too short a time
0.62 ff games per year
0.41 dq games per year
1.18 tales games per year
rather whored out

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
i wanted to play kos-mos versus megaman
why must companies be so cruel
why can't we have super robot wars games in english
also, in that video that looks like they're doing an awful lot of damage for a tales game
don't even want to think about how much health bosses have
Glad someone did the math.
I mean, Tales games are pretty great, but jesus. Vesperia and Symphonia just came out, and they were released relatively close to each other. It's really easy to get burnt out on JRPGs, and even more so of the same series. Should be at least a two year break between releases.
In Dawn of the New World's defense, it was a spin-off. That's like chalking up the Crystal Chronicles games in a "There are too many Final Fantasy games" argument.
Not that I'm disagreeing with you or anything, because I'm not. I mean, Hearts wasn't even out and they'd already announced the next mothership title on the Wii.
...Oddly enough, the Dragon Quest series just did the exact same thing. Next mothership title isn't even released, mothership title after that confirmed for Wii.
"mothership title" is the most gay piece of gay slang ever
Weren't like three of the Final Fantasy mothership titles announced on the same day a few years ago or something?
It does make perfect sense for them to crank out faster after Symphonia, though. That's when it started to PRINT MONEY in North America.
Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to Versus more than XIII itself?
Especially given that the KH gimp is at the helm and I abhor that cluster**** of a series.
Handheld Tales games generally suck ***.
I've liked all of the console ones I've played, but that's just Phantasia, Symphonia 1, Abyss, and Vesperia.
Oh, right. Forgot about the PSP and others aren't released in English as far as I know...?
I wouldn't put it passed them.
