During the course of my recent interview with Colin Noga and Aaron Lindsay about their experience creating an English patch for Fatal Frame 4: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, I learned about another fan translation in the works. While the pair was working on a translation patch for Tales of Graces (which was sadly cancelled upon the announcement of western localisation), half of their team started up another project: a translation of the PlayStation 3 version of Tales of Vesperia.
Tales of Vesperia, one of the best Japanese role-playing games of this hardware generation, now has one of the prettiest action figures of this hardware generation as well. And yes, I said pretty.
Namco Tales Studio is the developer behind Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Eternia, Tales of Destiny and Tales of Vesperia. The studio has seen better days.
Suspension of disbelief is apparently no concern for the typical Tales of Vesperia player, as seeing Klonoa, Mr. Driller or KOS-MOS in the Namco Bandai RPG is kosher, at least in the name of selling downloadable content.
I am so stuck on a video game right now. Should I rage quit, read a walkthrough or just cry out to the Internet via random forums to help me?
DOH. Just like we thought — popular Japanese voice actor Rikiya Koyama has confused Tales of Vesperia with Wii title Tales of Graces.
Popular Japanese voice actor Rikiya Koyama appears to have leaked the news that Namco Bandai role-playing game Tales of Vesperia is Wii-bound. Ooops!
