Tales of PlayStation(s) revealed

[Agent D.]

Personally, I think investing in a Wii U right now is silly, you'd be better off buying the PS3, especially if it's for filling RPG needs. Wii U has nothing interesting out right now, and isn't getting much for a while. Xenoblade 2....maybe but that's a bajillion years away yet.

[Nel_Annette]

Well then... I will think about it. *strokes beard thoughtfully*

Though I still want a Wii U. The Lego game actually looks pretty awesome, from what I've watched on YouTube.

CE for NA and Europe for $99 (and whatever EU equivalent of $99 is).

Comes with what looks like the Ichibichan figure, artbook, music, and special box (lawls).  I want.  I think.

Special Edition for only...$100 bux!!!!! :stonk:

I can't afford that even if I wanted it. Not like the preorders haven't already been cleaned out in a 50 mile radius from where I live already (if there was ever going to be one retailed within this timezone to begin with).

[Zendervai]

I hope they handle it better than with Ni No Kuni.

[Kevadu]

Not crazy about the figure, honestly.  I would rather have a cheaper special edition with just the soundtrack and art book...

The Ichibichan Yuri figure is pretty badass, and I admire that the figure takes on Inomata's artwork, but yeah, I'm not too crazy about it either.  I want to get it because, really, how often do CE's of a Tales game really roll around??  The artbook might be nice.... but that's just me. :P
(NISA is crazy about them, the catch being I don't want most of their releases...c'est la vie)

[Ashton]

My body is ready.

[Dice]

EDIT~~!!!

Reading that there MIGHT be a Day 1 collector's that's without the figure.  So kevadu gets his wish!

Giant image, sorry.  Seems like the artbook is half the size.

EDIT: DLC as well.  I'm guessing the Stahn/Cless outfits for Jude and Milla

[Agent D.]

I wonder if they'll have any extra costume DLC besides the ones released in asialand.

[Ashton]

Probably not, but I don't look forward to paying another $4 just for a swimsuit for one character.

Honestly though, her beach outfit -- hell, any outfit --- is more appealing than her standard hooker attire.

I'm guessing we're going to be nixed from the anime-related DLC (hopefully we get the Madoka ones?  Those were kinda cool and it's relevant here...two years after the Japanese release...) but get the rest of the beach, maid, cameo clothes.

[Ashton]

You mean Millas? Her beach outfit was even more stripperific, though.

Also, I would imagine licensing fees provide significant hurdles for anime-based costumes.

[Agent D.]

It's idiotic to think that paying the fee for use overseas wouldn't carry over here. But hey, asshole business is assholish.

Whatever happened to the idea of free endorsements? I mean, if I saw a pepsi bottle in Tales of Vesperia, wouldn't it be a solid means of bringing pepsi more business? How come Namco has to pay a comapny to basically spread the word about their characters, creations, etc? I'd be stoked if they came forward and asked to use my likeness in Xillia for even a dumbass character, and I know if Jude had a Robin costume in game, it'd make some more DC fans out of people.

Speaking of DC....Wonder Woman costume for Milla.....oooohhhh

Yeah.  Damn shame, because seeing Mami strut around in 3D would be awesome. D:

Also, I think what I'm trying to say is that the beach one at least tones it down and makes her wear something less tacky, because it's just simple.

AGENT: I love your Wonderwoman Idea. o_o !!!  Or in a Rogue outfit.  Holy shit why aren't Marvel/DC joining this!?  Haha
