The Tales of VS. Official Site has been updated with four new character videos. The videos are of Nanaly Fletch, Jade Curtiss, Philia Felice/Philis and Mao performing their hi-ougis. Nanaly performs Wild Geese ( ワイルド・ギース ), Jade performs Mystic Cage ( ミスティック・ケージ ), Philia performs Sacred Blame ( セイクリッドブレイム ), Sacred Penance in localized games) and they gave Mao Inferno Drive ( インフェルノドライブ ) as his own solo hi-ougi.
They also updated the Special section, with a link to a voiced kaodora skit of Raven over at the Tales of Community. Raven talks about being in the pre-order bonus DVD, together with beauties such as Alice and Legretta. He also complains about not being in Tales of VS. himself.
The Tales of VS. site has a new Director's Corner video, showing Nanaly and Ruca performing combos. The translation of the Director's message will be added later, once I get more time to do so. Also, we have uploaded a 30-second preview of Tales of VS.'s opening theme, Be your wings by GIRL NEXT DOOR. You can view it here.
Lastly, the Tales of Vesperia ~ The First Strike ~ site has updated with their Introduction, Story, Staff & Cast and Trailer sections. The trailer section currently has two videos: the previously released trailer and a new one that they are currently showing in cinemas throughout Japan. Due to Bandai Channel's certain restriction, you won't be able to view the video if you do not reside within Japan... But we uploaded it to YouTube anyway, so here you are. The main difference is that it now has a narrator talking about Yuri and Flynn.
The Tales of VS. Official Site has been updated with two new system videos today. The first is under the main battle system: the use of items in battle; the second is how exactly the Yggdrasill Battle mode works. Translations of the added pages below:
~~~ Battle System - How to Use Items You can pick up items from item boxes found around the stage. Once you have it, the icon of the item will appear at the side of your screen. Once you have an item available, pressing the △ (triangle) button will trigger the use of the item. You can use items whenever you want, or when you find yourself at a safe area in the stage.
~~~ Yggdrasill Battle (aka the main story mode, 1 player)
~ Basic Flow of the System Event indicators will be visible on the world map. Hovering over the areas with events and pressing the O (circle) button will initiate the event. A battle will usually occur during the event, and finishing the battle will let you continue on with the story.
~ Use GP and Gald to Strengthen Your Character! Winning battles will earn you some GP (Grade Points) and Gald. As you advance through the stories and battles, characters that come to face you will surely become stronger. That being the case, careful customization of your characters is essential. A shop can be activated from the main menu (refer to older posts on how GP and Gald can be used), so don't forget to access it and strengthen your characters.
Translations of the information revealed by Dengeki/Famitsu/4Gamer recently will be done by this weekend (previous post). I have my hands full with school these days, I barely have time to translate information that long. I hope you all understand.
The Tales of VS. Official Site has been updated with the character videos for Judith and Arche Klaine. In the videos, Judith uses her hi-ougi Radiant Moonlight (煌華月衝閃, Kouka Gesshousen) while they gave Arche Big Bang ( ビッグバン ) as her hi-ougi.
I've also added various screenshots and high quality art of the game. Please feel free to view them first while I translate all of the new information on the game that has been released. This post will either be edited later, or there will be a new post for all the info.
Various Japanese gaming sites (Dengeki, Famitsu and 4Gamer) have been recently updated with new information and screenshots for Tales of Vesperia PS3. Screenshots have been added to their respective galleries. Thanks to the summarized report Kouli sent us (thanks Kouli, really ♫~), these seemingly old information has something new for all of us.
First off, the new Giganto monster is to be called the Green Menace (or Menis). As previously reported, there will be a new secret mission regarding this new monster. But taking a look at this screenshot showing the successful battle against it, you'll notice that the Overlimit Level has been raised to 5. Looks like a new addition to the game.
There will also be new BGMs for the game. One that was revealed is "Scorching Rumbling" which is to be used for the new volcano area.
Also, the first prints of Vesperia PS3 will offer a product code (similar to VS.'s code) which will earn you some sort of special battle in Tales of VS.. And again, I would like to point out that the Abyss costumes are actually the preorder bonus this time around.
Lastly, a few shots reveal a few of Flynn's skills and the rest's new ones in this blog. According to Kouli, these skills are actually unused leftover data that was found in both Japanese and English versions of Vesperia 360. Kouli has made a list here
