AtomTales of Vesperia and the dual region launch
The wait for Tales of Vesperia won’t be long between North America and Japan. Unlike Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, the first Tales game for the Xbox 360 will be the first game in the Tales series to have a simultaneous launch in the two regions. The exact launch date has not been announced, but it will happen sometime this year.
Sticking with the international focus, the theme for Tales of Vesperia will be sung in English and Japanese. The song is “Ring a Bell” by Bonnie Pink, a J-Pop artist who you may recognize from one of the Rurouni Kenshin ending songs. The YouTube clip below has a sample of the Tales of Vesperia theme.

Awesome news indeed. I’m really hoping this eventually gets ported to PS3………there’s not much else that interests me on Xbox 360 to justify buying that system.

The same thing popped into my mind when I saw the name Bonnie-Pink, the Rurouni Kenshin “funk” ending song :)
Pls let the US version be region-free, unlike Eternal Sonata (also by Bandai Namco)

Here is to hoping for a good story and a Japanese Language Track !

Wii port please.
But yeah, PS3 should also be announced ASAP, as makes more sense as a platform by a mile (compared to the platform it’s in), there’s no reason other than moneyhats for this to be X360 exclusive, of all things.

I’m pretty sure the Xbox 360 version would have the option for both languages. One of the things I loved about the 360 is you could even change to Jpn txt if you change the language setting (for most games).. the most extreme case is Lost Odyssey, you don’t just get to hear the French/Italian/German tracks, you could actually play the game in those languages too if you so choose. I tried playing LO in French/Italian and it was like an entirely different experience.
Looking forward to hearing both the Eng/Jpn themes sung by Bonnie Pink.

Rad news all around. Hope this will sell well and set the pace for future releases. I’m buying the Wii game for sure, though we’re looking at what… November 2008?
