Tales Of ... series - Vesperia out on Steam

[SCO]

I actually haven't paid much attention to the series in a long while (mostly because Namco is shit).

Tales of phantasy snes has a good fan translation

No it doesn't. There are parts where it can hardly be even called a translation.

It sounds like you don't like to fuck like a tiger

Completed Tales of Hearts R. Nearly 50 hrs. It is one of the best vita games.

What was the thing you didn't like in it?

 

[Siveon]

Man, don't rope me into threads I was never apart of, it's just rude.

Anyway, I never played it. Don't know where you got that idea. I was (probably) talking about the series as a whole, I could only really talk about what I didn't like in Symphonia, Eternia and Vesperia. Which was: boring combat, cringe-inducing dialogue/characters, cliche story and (for Symphonia) shoddy graphics.

EDIT: Vesperia was definitely the best one out of the three I've played though. I didn't get too far in any of the games to really judge it (40% of Vesperia, 5% Eternia and like 1% Symphonia. Symphonia was nigh unplayable for me.) so take what I say with a grain of salt.

What Tales game is the most challenging?

Sorry, bro.

It was here. And you really said you'd pass Hearts.

What Tales game is the most challenging?

I have not followed the series in years, because Namco is shit (also because I don't own any new consoles), but out of the old ones Tales of Destiny 2 was one of the hardest. It's not translated though, or at least wasn't then.
I think Eternia was a good deal harder than the previous ones, but that was long ago.

Tales of Zestiria might come out on PS4 and PC. It was in a Japanese PS4 commercial and here is STEAM database entry.

I feel bad because I spent money on Tales of Xillia and Tales of Graces F but I haven't completed them, (I barely started Xillia).
They felt so boring, nothing compared to Vesperia. I'm planning on playing Abyss but what I'm really hyped for is to see if Absolute Zero actually finishes their Tales of Destiny for ps2 translation. One can only hope.

Tales of the abyss is very good in many aspects, especially the story.

The "Tales of..." series can be easily represented with the following picture:

I know not many people care, but Vesperia PS3 translation got released.

Pretty excited for that, actually. Just ordered a copy now that the translation is done and released.

 

[Meaning of Karma]

I find the first one (Phantasia) holds up pretty well. Personally, I prefer it to Chrono Trigger. Mostly because of the fact that your party is more well developed. The combat in Chrono is vastly superior, however.

I'd recommend avoiding Symphonia, despite its popularity. The writing hits a low point in this one, I think. Eventually it became so insufferable that I simply had to stop playing it. The translation could also be described as exceedingly mediocre, which is the worst thing a translation can be.

I enjoyed what I played of Legendia, although it wasn't much.

I quite liked Grace f, if only because of the stellar battle system.

As for Xilia, I couldn't get very far. The environments are boring and lifeless, and going to its battle system after grace's felt very bad, to say the least. Like an unholy abomination created when someone saw graces combat and completely misunderstood what made it good.

TALES OF ZESTIRIA REVEALS ITS PC SPECS & PS4 INFO!

POSTED ON 16 SEP, 2015

We’re just a month away from the release of Tales of Zestiria in the West! It’ll be the first time the Tales of Series is available on Steam and PS4, so we’re incredibly excited to reveal today the PC version’s specs and be totally transparent with you. Hold on to your rig, it’s about to get technical.

Both the PC and PS4 version will run at a 1920×1080 resolution with PC supporting resolutions up to 4K. Full HD here we come! They also benefit from many other graphical improvements: the draw distance is 2x times what it is on PS3, with the PC version having a “far” option improving it even more. Shadows, anti-aliasing and textures also got upgraded. The PC version will allow you to switch between low, medium and high for all the preceding options.

It’s now time to talk about the framerate; all versions of Tales of Zestiria will run at a constant 30 frames per second. Before you run off to the comment section, hear us out! The Tales of battle system has always been an integral part of the gameplay experience, and changing the framerate proved to have profound consequences on things like: animation, balance, difficulty, and overall fighting mechanics tuning. We do this in the best interest for the players’ experience!

To keep going with good news: as promised, Tales of Zestiria is the game with the least amount of time between the Western and Japanese releases. We’re counting on your support to keep this wonderful adventure going!

Trust us: the game is all prettied up, and we invite everybody to watch our upcoming livestream of the PC version of Tales of Zestiria on September 24th at 7PM Central European Summer Time. Come check out the first PC footage of Tales of Zestiria, meet the Tales of Ambassador, participate in giveaways, celebrate the 20thanniversary and even get a surprise! See you next week on http://bnent.eu/twitch

In other news, the final tier of pre-order rewards hasn't been unlocked yet: http://store.steampowered.com/app/351970/ (Which means no free copy of Tales of Symphonia.)

I wonder if Tales of Abyss Steam release would get more enthusiasm... seems likely, especially after seeing how people fanboy over Grandia II.

 

[Abu Antar]

I'd buy Vesperia in a heartbeat. That and Destiny Remake.

 

[Duraframe300]

I'd buy Vesperia in a heartbeat. That and Destiny Remake.

With localization of destiny 2

FXAA is a bad form of AA. Would probably be better off downsampling instead.

 

[Moomba]

I would give anything for a non-360 version of Vesperia in the West...

This made me chortle.

 

[Abu Antar]

I've already played Vesperia, so I am good on that front.
I'd just have bought it again if it ever released on PC.

 

[deuxhero]

How about an hour a day to learn the language and play it without a translation?

 

[yes plz]

I'm actually fairly excited for Zestiria's release. Some of the new gameplay changes sound interesting, like different party members having different skills in the field to clear obstacles, which will hopefully lead to some Metroidvania-esque dungeons. New battle stuff sounds interesting too, with party members being split into two categories - humans, which have close range artes, and spirits which have long range ones, as well as the ability to apparently fuse a human and spirit together for a new form.

 

[Arkeus]

So the whole "Get Symphonia free for pre-ordering Zestiria" is now unlocked, not that there were much chances of it not being unlocked.

I am a bit surprised by it getting to #1 on Steam Top Sellers though.
