Namco Bandai has today revealed Tales of Phantasia X, bringing not one but two remakes to the PSP later this year. Not only will the very first Tales game be making a glorious return, its Game Boy Color counterpart is being dug out of the archives, too.
Tales of Phantasia Cross Edition will be the first game in the dual package, is an improved version of the Phantasia remake that hit the PSP in 2006. Not only does it include all of the 2006 version's tweaks, it includes a revised battles system and a smattering of new story elements.
Far more interesting is Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon, a game originally released exclusively in Japan for the Game Boy Color way back in 2000. Set 100 years after the original Phantasia, it includes random dungeons, and a costume system that lets characters change classes and skills on a whim. The remakes enhances the visuals in a completely reworked version of the original game.
Sounds great ... we just haven't had a confirmation for North America yet. Heh.

...Radiant Mythology that is.
More important, when are we getting the complete version of Tales of Vesperia? You know, the PS3 version that wasn't the beta like the 360 version was...
Surely it can't be that hard to round up Troy Baker and Sam Riegel and the various other cast members for another go at the game.
Who knows? That's the fun.
I don't know, Namco always seemed rather desperate to be a contender in the RPG market, which was largely why Xenosaga was such a mess after the first game.

I don't understand why people even think Namco Bandai USA cares about this series anymore.
