NAMCO BANDAI is bringing its “Tales” series to the Xbox 360 for the first time with Tales of Vesperia with incredible anime-style graphics, captivating storylines, and characters that we have grown accustomed to with previous “Tales” games. The setting for the game takes place in a world reliant on a mysterious ancient technology known as “blastia,” and the game follows former knight Yuri as he delves into a shadowy plot to use these magical devices to control civilization, or destroy it.
Included in this new title is an upgraded battle system via the standard-setting RPG with an all-new graphics engine and character designs by Kosuke Fujishima. Also new to the series, are significant additions to the trademark real-time combat system, allowing players to do battle in massive battlefields and learn new special attacks that are tied to individual weapons. New finishing blows allow players to take down enemies in a single hit with correctly timed button combinations, while mission-based battles increase the variety of each encounter as players gain unique items by fulfilling various battle objectives. Players can also use materials collected by successfully executing finishing moves to craft rare and unique equipment for their characters.
A release date for Tales of Vesperia has yet to be announced, but it will be available for the Xbox 360 in Europe, Japan, and North America.
