Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition Gets New Trailer; Crestoria Western Release Confirmed
Bandai Namco issued some updates on two upcoming releases in the Tales series. The Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition has received a new trailer, viewable below, to show off its various gameplay systems, from exploration, to combat, to some of the costume options. The game will also include two new playable characters, and features the Linear Motion Battle System, which lets players control one character in combat while the other party members are controlled by a customizable set of AI commands.
Meanwhile, Tales of Crestoria, the first standalone smartphone entry in the series, has been confirmed for a release outside of Japan. The game’s official Japanese website has also been updated with new information.
Tales of Vespiria: Definitive Edition is scheduled for worldwide release on January 11, 2019, and will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. While the exact date for a western release for Tales of Crestoria has not yet been announced, new information is promised to be revealed on December 14, 2018.
This is how you go about by killing a series. Re-release their best game then follow it up with a mobile game. Once a game series goes mobile, then you know it is officially dead.
Except that the first mobile Tales game was released several years before Vesperia, which, according to you, is the series’ “best game”.
Maybe the confusion comes from the statement that this is the “first standalone smartphone entry.” I certainly have no idea what this distinction means or how adding the descriptor “standalone” makes it accurate.
