I've been that shade of Xbox 360 green with envy for awhile now after seeing the first details on Tales of Vesperia. That's mostly because I love the Tales series, and my Xbox 360 is needing a bit more RPG lovin'. Now I'm a bit more envious with the announcement of a new Xbox 360 bundle for Vesperia.
Those crazy kids at Kotaku found some details on the new bundle, which was just announced at the Xbox 360 RPG Premiere 2008. This lovely bundle comes with Tales of Vesperia, a Tales faceplate, a copy of the game's script(?) and a 20GB 360. This hits Japanese shelves on August 20th for 37,800 yen ($353), according to Famitsu. I stole all the screenshots from there and attached them below.
Dear Namco Bandai,
I would like to own this game, in English. Preferably this year, during the summer games drought. Please include the faceplate as a preorder bonus. I don't need the script, as I'll actually be playing the game.
KTHXBAI,
Dale

sure hope that game makes it to Europe...
BTW, I hope it does come with Japanese dialogue, most games so far on the ps3 and 360 have allowed for multiple languages. Hopefully doesn't screw us over.
However I don't think it will be the case, because Bonnie Pink made an english version of the song, which isn't so bad. At least the same artists sang the song and at least they kept the song. Namco is notrious for taking out japanese music in their games. I wonder why. Mother F****
Yes. Yes it does. Personally, I'm a little burned out on Tales games still after playing Tales of the Abyss. It's still the best in the series, but the mindless button mashing has definitely gotten a little tiresome.
So why do I still want this so badly?
the game,face plate and game's script.
