Right now hes just playing Tales live infront of the press.

They also annouinced its North America ship date is August 7th 2008, but Europe will be in 2009.

Higuchi is going to play Tales of Vesperia in front of everyone. They're starting midway through the story. The visuals are super crisp. This looks way better than Trusty Bell. We're watching a fully voiced cinema scene. This is a really long story sequence. You appear to have a dog in your party. I don't think the dog talks or antying, though.

Holy crap! Some ninja dudes jumped in! I think there's going to be a battle. The characters are doing that JRPG thing where they clench their fists when they speak. Now one of the bad guys is cracking his knuckles. Prior to the battle, you're allowed to set up your party, it seems.

The battle system looks extreme 3D -- beyond past Tales titles. It would be hard to tell who your character is, except for the red arrow pointing at it.

Higuchi seems to be doing pretty bad. He's having to use lots of life items. One of the character's does a super huge finishing move. It has a short anime cut in. Very stylish. But not stylish enough to finish off the bad guys! The demonstration ends when Higuchi finally kills off the bad guy.

'The battle system looks extreme 3D -- beyond past Tales titles.' -IGN

I'm going to quote that lol!

Yay. All regions or a specific region?

[QUOTE="dooly420"]looks like star ocean 4 is heading to the 360.ReturnOfShinobi

Star Ocean will have a more science fiction feel to it.You will be able to travel through "a star ocean," jumping across planets. The game will feature new systems in its battle system. The game will be released in 2009. The game is currently in a state where it can be played.

[QUOTE="ReturnOfShinobi"][QUOTE="dooly420"]looks like star ocean 4 is heading to the 360.justforlotr2004

I think it's on the PS3 as well.

Wow...it actually went to the 360. I guess Sony gave up on JRPGs.Kahuna_1

Well, MS does have alot more money to throw around than SONY, not saying MS paid for this, but they obviously have the "resources" to aquire games.

Microsoft won a battle getting SO4! That's huge.

Now all they need to do is bundle it with a 360 in Japan.

I wonder what else is going to show, Cry On anyone?

Probebly ID, and TLR.

[QUOTE="justforlotr2004"][QUOTE="ReturnOfShinobi"][QUOTE="dooly420"]looks like star ocean 4 is heading to the 360.Nagidar

360 has really become a RPG juggernaut. With all these jrpg and wrpg that it has.

Tri Ace will be making another game on the 360 looks like. Star Ocean 4 and Infinite Undiscoverey.

360 allready has Lost Odyssey and Eternal Sonota

They will be adding Infininte Undiscoverey and Tales of Vesperiea this year.

With Star Ocean 4 and the Next Mistwalker JRPG on the way.

I think the 360 has what could be the best JRPG lineup for next gen consoles until PS3 gets FF 13.

All PS3 will have is Disgea 3, White Knight Chronicles and Valkryie.

[QUOTE="Nagidar"][QUOTE="justforlotr2004"][QUOTE="ReturnOfShinobi"][QUOTE="dooly420"]looks like star ocean 4 is heading to the 360.dooly420

Like I said, regardless if its exclusive or not, the fact that its coming to the 360 is quite good for MS.

No FFXIII versus for the 360.

Yeah, they definitely do. We will never know for sure what they have paid for though. One thing that is certain is Sony gave up if there was a bid war...either that or all their money went to FF13 and Versus.

Now they are showing Infinite undiscovery. America will get the game on 9/2, Europe on 9/5, Japan on 9/11, Asia on 9/11.

Now they are showing Infinite undiscovery. With a 9/11/2008 release date.

justforlotr2004

9-11....what a frigging release date.

Just for some humor, could you imagine what would happen in SW if FFXIII was announced for the 360? LOL, all hell would break lose.Nagidar

SW would seriously be unbearable, and that's saying a lot.
