Tales of Asteria

A new... *sigh* Smart Phone game... yay...

What, aren't you excited for more smartphone goodness? We can never have enough, ya know? All praise the mighty smartphone!

I'd probably care more, but we already have Zestiria and Xillia 2 on the way, so I don't mind whatever this is being on smartphones, unless it's the next Tales of the World which it doesn't seem to be.

I remember when they actually made the Tales spin-offs for real portable gaming systems. With buttons. Oh how times have changed.

...Granted we only ever got one of those spin-offs in the west.

EDIT: I just noticed the characters seem almost to be hand-picked from the 6 most recently localized titles, if you count Phantasia mobile and pre-emptively count Symphonia Chronicles. Curious.

One good thing though, the opening will be animated by then Attack on Titan studio.

I want Shingeki no Tokunaga.

I can't even bring myself to feel anything because we were warned about another smartphone title a while back (the Do As Infinity CD listing and the list of trademarks that came after that).
That and we still have Zestiria coming so I'm good.

It took me a while, but here you go.

This is awesome! Thanks!

All hail the great artist, Sliv!

Ugh, oh well more Tales isn't bad and it looks like something I wouldn't be too interested in past the animated cutscenes anyways, I'll echo the Zestiria and Xillia 2 making me happy things.

I'd really like them to concentrate their spinoff stuff into another TotW on a system tho (any system but 3DS so I can actually buy it from Japan)

Before that happens, Namco will have to be unlike Square Enix and actually start thinking right again...

/shot.

Also, Master-Lord Sliv-sama, that is amazing.

Sliv I will beg you to shoop some photos for me in the new feature pl0x, that is brilliant.

I want RM4 already.

Haha that's awesome, Sliv :]

The opening looks pretty good. The gameplay looks your standard first person-turn based, boring.

But it has Gaius vs Fabulous Richard. That's automatically makes it good, right?

Gaius looks like a vampire in that OP lmao what did they do to him?

You'd think that with all the spin-offs they've been releasing, they'll become better known for their mobile games than their mothership titles.

The gameplay footage looks really confusing.

Seeing Lloyd talk with Rita makes me want to start a trans-dimensional-crack-ship topic.

So, that's why Colette wore her costume...
