For the Vesperia updates, Tales of Vesperia Mainsite has been updated with info on the guild members of Leviathan's Claws (Iegar, Gauche and Droite [French for left and right]), a few new battle screenshots (some of which have already been shown in other sites) and info on the cooking system (Wonder chef) and the skits system (they have pictures of the skits there, added here). I've also added the new screenshots from the ToV Developer's Blog to their respective screenshot galleries.
Aside from that, the campaign page of the main site will be holding a somewhat mini-contest for those who will be purchasing the Japanese version of the game (not sure if they have to be preorders), starting August 7 until September 30 of this year. In the Japanese ToV copies will be a small questionnare and a stamp. Just send that in and you're eligible to join, although this contest seems to be Japan only, but I'm not entirely sure. The prizes are:
Prize A: Tales of Vesperia Game Script with autographs of the Japanese voice actors (will be given to 3 lucky people)
Prize B: Tales of Vesperia character posters (8 per set, will be given to 1000 people)
Prize C: Tales of Vesperia Face Plate Seal (will be given to 1000 people)
On August 18 also marks the start of the usual game survey the site holds, and as usual it will be having a special wallpaper as a reward for those who'll answer the survey.
Also, check out this Famitsu blog to get a glimpse of Repede's hi-ougi and hi-ougi cut-in. As of now, it's only named "????" so it seems the name hasn't been given yet (unless that's the actual name, then wth...?
