I'm pretty excited for it.  Tales of Graces f wasn't bad.  It had its moments.  I liked Vesperia better though.  Haven't played Abyss.... yet.  

I totally agree. It was a good game, but Vesperia is gonna be hard to beat in my book. I enjoyed that game a ton. Yuri ftw!

Looks like a good game. I don't think her voice was too deep, I just thought the line read was a little awkward; otherwise, voice acting seemed pretty standard for a ported Japanese game to me. And that giant hand move looked cool.

Can't wait for this game. I love the Tales series.

Nice to finally see some English footage and voice acting, even if 'accidentally' leaked. Judging by the Jap seiyuu, I would've assumed that Milla would be a bit more feminine/less robotic sounding, and Alvin a bit older/more hilariously ironic, but Jude and Leia both seem pretty good... yes, anyways, can't wait.

My favorite Tales game is Legendia.  Of course, that has a lot to do with who composed the music: Go Shiina.  He's my favorite video game music composer.

interesting to see Legendia as your favorite. I had issues with Legendia, mainly becase the art style looked kinda cheap to me, but i hear the plot was solid. 

I am all for lead female characters not having annoying faux little girl voices. One reason why I couldn't get into Eternal Sonata was the incredibly grating voice of the female lead. As for Graces, I really liked it.

Yeah don't get me wrong, I definitely enjoyed Graces f a lot. Just not as much as some of the other titles. I do agree though, having a stronger voice is def not a negative...I guess it was just how the line was read that has people up in arms. 

I can't wait for Xilia.  Tales has become my favorite franchise.  I agree Graces wasn't the best, but even a less than average Tales game is still fun.  I hope we get Xilia 2 also.

hopefully. I hear Xillia 2 has a lot of improvements over the original. And yeah even if Graces f wasn't as good as Vesperia in my book, it was (and still is) a blast. (Currently working my way through the future arc of the story)

I am excited to get my hands on Xilla. The only Tales game I ever beat was ToS and the main story of Legendia, just not the bonus stuff yet. I need to get a move on Vesperia, Abyss and Graces F. THey are sitting in my game closet...not played for months or years.

All 3 of those are great. Vesperia has a great battle system and cast, Abyss has a great story and Graces F is pretty unique compared to the others. That will be fun to catch up with.

I'm also a big fan of the Tales series. Tales Of Symphonia is my favorite of the bunch. I also finished Symphonia II, Abyss and Legendia. I did play Vesperia but never finished it due to having to sell the 360 to pay for a new PS3 after my old 60 GB model died. I'm going through Tales Of Graces F now; with Ni No Kuni waiting in the wings. I'll certainly be buying Xillia.

The voice work of Graces F is uneven. Hubert simply lays it on too thick with his bitter angst, Pascal is way over-the-top; though she does have a personality and Cheria's voice actress seems to be fighting between sounding 11 and 18. Still, it's not bad but I prefered the voice work in Symphonia and Legendia.

I would like to finish Vesperia someday. I was about 20 hours in. Might just import the Japanese PS3 version.

Yeah, if you can manage, the PS3 version would be prime. I really wish that came out here, they went balls out and added a whole bunch to that one. I woulda dumped at least 100 more hours into it if they released it...but oh well, I can live without it i suppose.
