A lot of the questions people in this comment section are ask we already have answers for. Japanese audio use has Licensing fees to pay and Tales games have way more dialogue to voice than other JRPG series and games like the Naruto and DBZ fighters have WAY LESS VOICE ACTING.

The reason the games take so long to localize is because Namco never decides that they will localize the game until after its come out already in Japan. Vesperia was the only case where dual localization was planned and Microsoft was paying for that.

Considering Tales of Vesperia came out 4 years ago, I don’t know why people are still asking for it. Namco has already decided they won’t and are moving on with newer games. Why localize a game that came out 4 years ago when they would be better off with the new game?

@Maveruck81PL You should probably wait for a North American release date before you buy in entire system over a game. I’m sure you’ll find games you like on the system though.

Day one buy, skipped on Graces F because of that “bleh” art. But it looks like a return to the Abyss/Vesperia art design, stoked for next year. And don’t listen to these kiddos complaining about voice acting, there’s a generation gap between people who grew up with dub anime in the 90s and those newer kids who only watch subs in 2000s.

To bad we didn’t get Tales of Vesperia DC Version, that would be cool.

Any word on getting Tales of Destiny, and Tales of Destiny II (Tales of Eternia in Japan) on the PSN Store?

Is it ok if I actually feel like we could get dual audio?

I have nothing against English VAs (in fact I quite like Jade and Tear from Abyss and Pascal/Asbel from Graces) but I can’t thinkg of any VA that can deliver a solid Milla.

Getting this day one, regardless.

@30
Indeed ;)
Dodging the dual audio question again? Getting kind of old–I expect it from Square-Enix since they hate their fans. I have a solution, stop wasting money on dubbing the game and we can get the game much quicker. If small companies like NISA can afford to have dual audio on almost every single title they have released all the way back to their first on PS2 in 2003, than I think a big company like Namco-Bandai can….

Not complaining, just stating a fact. Release it as DLC, charge for it, people will buy it. The fact is that selling games with dual audio increases your profits significantly. Tales games have an average of 250K-500K sales per game in the US, imagine 200K of those spending $10 on DLC for Japanese audio?

When you’re cryptic, your fans don’t believe you, tell us the real reason rather than dodging the question.

Either way, looking forward to this!

Really, Symphonia was your favorite–it’s story was pretty lame? Now Vesperia had a good story, and great battle system.

@52 not giving the One Piece game english dubbing was just lazy on their part. I do hope that DBZ HD Collection is available on psn though.

finished GracesF and I can’t wait for this!
There is just something about the Tales Of Series that just keeps me interested and not a lot of games do that for me.
