Tales of Zestiria (PS3) Speculation/News (Pre-Release)

Why do I get the feeling that this certain character is Alicia :/

Anyway, I don't want to know!

This kind of thing (chopping off content to sell it) is not a something I support

The thing is, they're sort of claiming that they added the DLC episode as an 'after thought', but I highly doubt that, considering it was announced (complete with screenshots and new skit faces!) only a few days after the actual game was released. There's no way that it wasn't already in production long before that.

Oh my god Mikleo... is that... Scott Menville? Even if not, whoever it was should have voiced Lloyd in DotNW instead.

The VA's sound familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on who they actually are. The narrator sounds like Travis Willingham to me, I know that much.

I SWEAR the narrator is Gaius.....

I love ALL the voices!

My friend said a lot of people are also thinking Mikleo sounds like Lloyd, I'm so glad.

Relevant info: Fall release, Dual-Audio

They actually went past Summer...

WOW!!!!! an English trailer, now I'm so hyped.The release date is fall? when is fall?

September-November counts as fall I think

It was never set to be Summer. Most just guessed it would be since the Xillias were.

Well waiting until fall for Zestiria won't hurt

Didn't Namco said that they'll release it 6 months after the Japanese release?

Also, either itll be October or before December I'm guessing.

I do recall that D-Dawg, but oh well

Those voices are pretty nice

I really like the voices - however, I wonder if that lip-syncing will stay so... not synced.

Nice, original voices as well. Not that I care but now I don't have to hear that line anymore when I play with a certain friend

Any ideas who's voice is which? Especially Sorey.

I'm convinced that Mikleo is Scott Menville, but I've got other friends who say that while it's similar to Scott, it's not him. So... I guess that's up in the air. I'd like it if it were Scott though.

Also ugghh... Why fall? They were already working on the localization before the game was even released in Japan, if I remember correctly, so they could've made it for a summer release.

Now all those turning their noses up at voices in their own damn language can finally shut their pie holes. (Those that don't speak English have more of an excuse.)

In Xillias the characters were not lip syncing just like anime cutscenes so it'II be the same in this since they used the same in game model as Xillias

Here's my guesses as to the voice actors.

Sorey: Robbie Daymond (Tuxedo Mask in the new Sailor Moon dub)
Alisha: Alexis Tipton (Funimation Voice actor)
Lailah: Carrie Keranen (Mami in Madoka, Satsuki in Kill la Kill). This one I'm most certain of.

I'm unsure of Mikleo, but if I had to throw a name out there, I'd say he sounds kinda like Jack from Final Fantasy Type-0, who's voiced by Cameron Covell. I don't have any clips from that game to compare though. I can assure you that Scott Menville isn't doing Mikleo's voice. Scott's voice is instantly recognizable, and I just didn't hear it in Mikleo.

Alexis Tipton just confirmed that she's voicing Alicia on her Twitter.

Okay so Robbie Daymond and Carrie Keranen both tweeted the trailer without mentioning who they are (Lloyzerdk pretty much got it) and Caitlin Glass said she's doing Rose. And of course, as Zace posted, Alexis Tipton is Alisha.
So now Mikleo is pretty much the new mystery at the moment and we still either need to hear the rest or have their VAs get permission to announce something.

*crosses fingers for Patrick Seitz as Zaveid*

Here's hoping for Kaiji Tang as Dezel

Why did they use the same character design for FMV anime cutscenes like they did previously in Xillias?

That's how Akira Matsushima draws them and ufotable has been hiring him to adapt the character designs for animation in their Tales stuff ever since the Symphonia OVA, much like how Production IG always got Tokuyuki Matsutake to do it for theirs. :3

Fun fact: Matsushima actually did some of the animation in Destiny 2 so he can imitate Matsutake's style.

Another fun fact: Matsutake did the design adaptations for the Phantasia OVA Actas animated, but he still didn't draw the characters the exact same he way did for IG, the most noticeable change being Klarth/Claus since he simplified the design somewhat.
(Of course, I'm getting a bit off topic here with those, hahaha)
