E3 2008:

Xbox360: Tales of Vesperia

Tales of Vesperia, the tenth “major” title in the Tales series, being developed by Namco Tales Studio and published by Namco Bandai, release is set for Electronic Theatre ImageAugust in North America and Japan, and 2009 in Europe, exclusively on Xbox360.

The games main character is Yuri, in a world reliant on ancient technology known as Blastia. As with all in Tales series you can expect a dark plot with plenty of twists to keep you interested, along with changes to the trademark Real-Time Combat System. Players will fight in massive battlefields as opposed to the usual five or so enemies on-screen in the previous Tales titles and make use of unique powers and Finishing Moves, most likely flashy and full of particle effects. 

So far it looks like there are no XboxLIVE! features, they may well add some in last minute, but there’s no chance of a major feature. All that was seen at E3 were a few minutes of battle and some walking around, but the battling and combat and world arena do look fantastic. It looks like another epic addition to the Tales ensemble, but we’ll have to wait a while to see whether or not Tales of Vesperia is a worthy purchase for RPG fans.
