Tales of the Tempest Nintendo DS Nintendo Preview

Just hope this gets announced for the West pretty damn quickly. Legendia FLOPPED in the US, but Abyss is likely to do better as it's apparently a far improved game and will get pushed more. TotT will hopefully follow Abyss's quality...

Released in the same month as FF3 that isn't good strategy for high sales figures

Three weeks before Final Fantasy III might just give it a chance...but I do totally agree that sales will be stunted quicker than if it WASN'T up against the mighty FFIII! :roll:

Looking forward to this one, nice work Adam. : Shame it'll get a bit throttled by FF3...

Thanks Mike. Namco seemed to waltz along with the mightily impressive TotT, then up came Square Enix to blow it out of the water.

The big bully! :lol:

Pff... Screw Final Fantasy. I'd rather play a game than an interactive cut scene. Personally I think it's the best looking game on the DS yet. Awesome 3D-ness

from the two images that you have there i have to say that this game is looking fantastic. will look for some more around. if it is more symphonia than legendia i'll be happy.

i need more Tales games for my GC:(

Y WON'T THEY MAKE ANY NEW TALES GAMES OR AT LEAST A REMAKE!!!!!:p:

hey guys have been looking for some extra footage of this one as i'm really looking forward to it. it seems to play more like symphonia from the trailer that i've seen

if this link works it will take you to a cool but short ad. i want this game now that i've seen it running.
enjoy

the cel shading rocks on this one and i'm more impressed by these visuals than ffiii at the mo but i need to see that one moving abit more. great looking ds games seem to be the in thing at the mo.

That's the trailer I saw as well - looks really good. I wonder if Namco will be able to squeeze in any cut-scenes similar to the gorgeous ones seen in FFIII so far?

Hey, didn't the Tales of Symphonia port for the PS2 only get released in Japan?

Yes, Namco cheated Nintendo fans in Japan, but Symphonia remained exclusive to the GameCube in the West. Legendia died in the US, so I'm not sure if its Euro released has been shelved. Abyss looks great, but don't think Rebirth will make it to the US, unfortunately.

I was gutted when I read about Tales of the World 4 coming to PSP, after the first three were Game Boy exclusive :-(

amtrid, you sound like you only read Page 1 of the preview...?

Looks good and will probably get it I just hope it dosn't drag on and on and on like symphonia.

As much as I loved Symphonia, I know what you mean Blade, as I never got round to finishing it. Looking at guides I'd say I made it to the 3/4 mark...but just grew tired. Being a handheld adventure I reckon it might be scaled back a bit more, which could definitely work to its advantage.

Fingers crossed, eh? :

jesusraz i did only read one page cos i got too excited and went hunting for video.

is't lrgrndia the one on the psp. if it is then while it looks alright the game overall is not a patch on symphonia.

Just read the first paragraph, after the intro, and it tells you which Tales is on which system. But, to break it down for everyone:

Future games:

Thanks, jesusraz. I needed this list!

I saw the pictures and got excited. 3D-handheld-games are looking wonderful. I am growing somewhat tired (blame me, shame!) of the classic GBA-RPG. FFIII and Phantasia are looking wonderful, though.
And I saw on your teaser-photo:

that the hero may change into a fox. How cool is that? I want this game...!

sorry, I can't edit my previous post, so I have to add a new one:

I find it very hard for us gamers to follow the Tales Of... series, because they are getting released on so many different platforms. I would play more of this series, but I do not want to buy every console to buy every part of the series.
Shame, because it has a lot of promising ideas. I loved Symphonia, laughed about the heroes, wanted to get every single talk they do via the little avatar-pictures on screen.
I hope this game here gets published soon... It looks just as good as FFIII...

This game will bo doubt reach the West. Nintendo will probably publish it.

They won't give up the chance to show the graphics whore nation that is America that the DS can produce stunning 3D graphics.

I'm just hoping that this is not the only entry in the Tales series to grace the DS.
