It looks great. I still have yet to play the original which I have. I will definitely get around to playing it at some point.

Why is Presea still a kid? Smilie

I guess it's set REALLY SOON after the first one or something. Looks great. I hope NoE don't block the Freeloader before this comes out in US. I NEEEEED IIIT. Smilie

Yes! Now THAT'S the sequel to the best game of last gen I was expecting.

Hmmm, graphically looks samey as the first one. I don't mind too much, I know I will enjoy it anyway. Yay for new characters.

I love the music. Smilie This is a must buy for me. Smilie

Yeah, does anyone know what music this is? Sounds like Misono but I'm not familiar with the song.

I think I've heard that music in the Symphonia Anime, not sure what it's called though.Smilie

Anyway, looks damn fine, it's out this year right? Can't wait.Smilie

There's no sign of Kratos, is he even in the game? He's like the best character out of them all.

Nah Zelos is the best Smilie And if you finished ToS you should know where Kratos is.

Her exsphere stopped her growing/ageing, didn't it? She's supposed to be 23 or something.

But didn't they remove it in the game, meaning she should age normally now?

She might be a few years older but I wouldn't expect her to be grown up already.

Exactly, the effects stopped and she starts developing again. I was half expecting her age to catch up to her in a quicker time.

Mmm, oh well. I guess she kind of starts ageing normally from this point on. Maybe she'll live until way past 100 or something.

Half-Elf alert!

Some people thought Raine and Genis were hundreds of years old or something. Genis is barely a teenager. Smilie

Oh yeah, that's true. I wonder how long true elves live for.

Looks like generic dog shite. And I don't just mean from a graphical point of view. When you also factor in that the good Japanese voice acting will be replaced with extremely hammy American voice acting- LOL. One to miss.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, you're not a fan of the series, you never will be, there are tons of fans of the series, it's generally well accepted by critics, I don't see why you care.

The voice acting in ToS wasn't that bad. I've seen much worse.

As you can tell the fans of the series are very excited about this game. You don't have to ruin it for everyone else because you think it looks shit.

SQUEEEEEE!! Looks awesome. Smilie I'll definitely be importing when it's out in the US. XD

The graphics don't look great I'll admit, but the original* was awesome, and this is from someone who usually finds RPG's too much effort to play. I've got to give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

Obviously they've tried to take the series in a bit of a new direction, and hopefully the gameplsy will hold up.

*original unless you're Japanese.

Battle system looks even better, and that's the main thing I care about. Graphics are a bit 'eeeeeeh...' but I guess I wasn't expecting much. And the voice acting in ToS was probably some of the best I've heard in any Japan-American conversion...

Still a proud member of the 'omfg amazing water in games' society

"Hmmm, graphically looks samey as the first one. "

Looks worse imo.
Prefered the firsts style.

Still, ToS >>> 99.9% of other RPGs imo.
(more puzzles, less grinding = me happy).

heck, out of all the rpgs I have played I think Superstar Saga on the gba is my only prefered one over ToS.

I was expecting it to look more glossy and polished but I think it looks fine graphically. The actual animation looks excellent I think.

I am sure it will look better in HQ versions.

Bear in mind, while the original had a more vibrant and pleasent style, it actually had very little in terms of animation in non-battles. By the looks of it, this new direction will lead to a more cinematic experience.

"It actually had very little in terms of animation in non-battles."

Well, that was true.
In towns everyone looked like robots.
Compared to the lively animations in, say, Hyrule, it couldnt be more different.

Exactly. The pencil-drawn sprites would have taken a hell of a lot of processing power to make them seem human.

Polygons can be good Smilie

It indeed says 'misono' in the bottom corner of the trailer. This is the third Tales to have her sing on, right? Following Innocence and Tempest on DS?
