Moar Characters on the Way for Tales of Vesperia


Ahh, Tales of Vesperia! How do I love thee?

If you checked out my report on Famitsu's latest ToV article, you'll remember that I bet on two more playable characters. Well, if the character collage on the splash page of Namco's official Japanese site is any indicator (and I'm going to argue that it is), it looks like I was right on the money.

The official site was updated this morning with all of the announced characters filled into the collage, and clearly two unfilled silhouettes. Additionally, the site's Characters, Story, and System pages look like they were updated too (with the tabs glowing).

The Character page now features bios on both Karol and Rita.

The Story page now showcases four new cities in addition to the overview of the world of Terca Lumireis (Teruka Ryumineesu). The four cities are Imperial Capital Zarfius (Taito Zaafiasu), Port City Capwa Nor (Minato no Machi Kapuwa Nooru), Academic Closed City Aspio (Gakujutsu Heisa Toshi Asupio), and Port City Capwa Tolim (Minato no Machi Kapuwa Torimu). (Please note that these are my translations directly from the Japanese, and may differ from the official translation.) Each city can be viewed with a description, but I'm not going to translate them right now. Sorry.

The System page now features all of the battle info that was presented in the Famitsu article, including the "Battle Book" which I failed to mention last time. It's not really that interesting - just a collection of all of the different terms and tutorials related to the battle system.

Expect more ToV updates as they happen.
