I neither know nor care where my other Legendia thread went, but it ships tomorrow... so...

TALES OF LEGENDIA
RELEASE: 2-7-06 FOR PS2

Edit: Fixed piture, bandwidth exceeded on Imageshack. Razz


The newest Tales game to escape Japan, Tales of Legendia is a return to the 2d battlefields of Phantasia, Destiny and Eternia (The linear motion battle system as it were). Think of it as the same as Symphonia, only on a 2D plane. If you're new to the series, it's an RPG with a battle system markedly similar to a 2D beat 'em up.

NOW CATERING YOUR FAVORITE FETISH
FISTING
Senel is the first (and only) Tales main character that isn't a swordsman. Like Farah in Eternia, he's a martial artist. His unique thing though, are throws, which can be done on downed enemies dependant on their weight class and in some cases species. Throws also potentially hurt other nearby enemies.

TRADITIONAL MISSIONARY SEX
You do get a swordsman (Chloe) relatively early on though, so if playing a Tales game without holding your phallic sword gives you hives, you can just control her. And she's hot, so double the fun.

GROUP SEX
Sorry, multiplayer was cut from Legendia. It was made by the Soul Calibur team instead of the Tales team. Maybe this means we'll get a little stronger story, but who knows.

BESTIALITY

It has anime cutscenes. I'm told there are more of them, I frankly don't really care either way, but a lot of people griped about there being only two in Symphonia, so whatever.

FURRIES

If you need to dress up to get your jollies, Legendia's bonus costumes are the mascot uniforms (the ones shown above are for the males) and formal dress.

TITIES
The Title system is back again (no surprise). The change though is that unlike Symphonia where they changed stat growth or Rebirth where just getting the title gave a permanent boost to your stat, Titles are like another equippable. Need more TP? Equip Combo Master. Need more Attack? Equip Berserker.

YURI


:shifty eyes:



ORGIES
Dungeons also now have a Chaotic Zone areas, which are essentially a clusterfuck breeding ground for strong monsters. Unfortunately, the game returns to invisible random encounters, and in the Chaotic Zone areas, the encounter rate is much much higher and the monsters you'll find are much stronger. And of course, these usually guard treasure chests. But they also make levelling up a bit quicker... in theory.

MONEY SHOTS
Also somewhat new is the Climax gauge. Essentially a replacement for the Unison bar of Symphonia, it fills up as you do and recieve damage, and then once full, hit a button to enter Climax mode where time stops except for your characters and the gauge starts to rapidly drain. Then if you have 4 characters, hit the button again at any point while in Climax mode to do a Climax combo for big damage. Unfortunately, there's only one Climax combo, which is fairly lame.

SEX ED
Norma on her virgin experience:


VOYEURISM
Unfortunately, there's not much to look at in terms of other people playing Legendia so far. Gamerankings has 3 reviews of the import version (6/10, 9/10, 4/5) and two reviews listed as being posted on March 1st, 2006. Only one has a link to an actual article though, so... whatever.
If you want to see the battle mode in action though:
http://tales.namco.com/legendia/videos/uneditted/1/throwing2_small.wmv
http://tales.namco.com/legendia/videos/uneditted/2/worm_attack_small.wmv
http://tales.namco.com/legendia/videos/uneditted/3/tol_bridge_320.wmv <- I suggest this one, cutscene into scripted battle so you get to see the voice acting for the English version
http://tales.namco.com/legendia/videos/uneditted/5/throwing_small.wmv <- Shows Climax combo and a sample throw
You should really watch the videos. The still shots don't look so hot, it looks quite a bit better in motion.

Speaking of the voice acting, from the little I've seen, it's not cringeworthy. Certainly nobody as awful as Collette, but not particularly great either. They made Moses a cajun though, which is hilarious. He's kind of scruffy and has a harpoon though, so I guess it might work. We shall see.

OTHER THINGS I CAN'T THINK OF A FETISH FOR
One of the big changes from the other Tales games is the new Duct system. Essentially a series of interlinked teleporters all over the world, they allow you to quickly transport from one place to another, which should prevent backtracking and the like.

They're also in dungeons, so if you get stuck in a particularly hard rom, or need to leave to go stock up on shit, that should prevent meaningless backtracking for the most part.

There are also rooms in dungeons that have 'Puzzle Booths' which are somewhat separate from the main dungeons. Essentially, you teleport in (or just enter puzzle mode or the like), have a little maze or set of puzzles to solve of the block pushing or sorcerer ring variety. The catch... if you get sick of the puzzle, you can just have your party solve it for you and you get the item. This does however, disqualify you from getting certain Titles.

Cooking also works a bit differently from the past games. Mimmy the Wonder Chef is hiding around the world disguised as various objects (as normal), but if you miss finding her in the town, you miss the scene with her. If you backtrack, you'll just find a letter from her with the recipe.

Also, recipes are now bread, which you Yakitate fans should enjoy. Bread is cooked at bakeries in town and then placed in the Bread Basket where it then functions more or less as a normal item.

There is a New Game+ in the same style as Symponia. You earn Grade during battles, and then redeem it at the Grade shop for various bonuses, like 2x Experience, and also PERMANENTLY putting your characters into the alternate costumes (Mascot costume or formal wear), at least until the next New Game+.

Learning magic works slightly differently, as you need to level up, and then use sculptures to learn a spell, but I don' fully understand it, so that's all I'll say about that.

Oh yeah, and some monsters now have auras that will inflict status ailments on your characters if they enter the aura, which means it's more important to use the ranged characters (you get at least two mages and one harpoon tosser at minimum) if there are lots of those guys about.

That's all I can think of for now. If you preordered, you get an artbook... supposedly. Who knows. It's Namco, anything's possible. They might accidently give you a localized version of Rebirth and that wouldn't surprise me.

Random screenshots!

Short Lamer Trailer
http://tales.namco.com/legendia/videos/trailers/New_TOL_small.wmv

The official site in general is pretty insane, including animated wallpapers and an area on how to spell and write the fucked up language used in the game:
http://tales.namco.com/legendia/index.php

And the moment someone bitches about things being called "Eres", I hit them. It's a step up from "Nail Arts", named such because your figernails glow. Fucking weird Japanese.

Lastly, I reiterate my "Would totally hit Chloe" stance.

Reviews on the game have been bad.

Cool, Symphonia was the only game in the series I've played.

The white-haired dude looks like Allen Walker from D.Gray-Man.

I know it plays fundamentally the same, but man, those screens looks so...limited in terms of movement. The 3D battlefield of Symphonia was excellent, even though you could only move in straight lines.

I'll still probably get it, though.

from the reviews, it appears that Symphonia should remain the only recent tales game you've played.

(It's the only one I played too)

This thread sells the game better than anything I've read yet. I'd seriously consider buying it if it wasn't for the fact that I have like 16 console RPGs that I still have not beaten and that number keeps growing day by day.

Great first post indeed, but I'll be staying far, far away from Legendia. Curse you Namco, I want Rebirth!

That was the best first post ever. I read the title as "Legendary hentai orgy party thread" and figured it was created by someone who really needs to read the rules.

I still clicked on it, however.

There is something wrong in the world when my only reason to buy a game is the OP in this thread.

If you're looking at the faces of characters, I can see one that looks like Jin on the right, and another like Mugen on the left.

Spoiler:
It's the same character designer.


He also did Digimon, apparently.

Shit, he coulda at least not almost directly copied his earlier designs.

I suppose its more understandable if its the same designer. Its like Dragon Quest 8. It seems Toriyama CANT draw something that doesnt at least resemble Dragonball a little bit. Its just a style that consistently underlies all their work.
