Namco confirmed that Tales of Legendia will in fact be heading to our shores later this year.
Tales of Legendia is an epic tale of love and heroism that explores the ties that bind us all. Senel Coolidge, a young expert of the special skill called “eres,” was drifting in the misty ocean on a small boat with his younger sister Shirley. As food ran out and their strength deteriorated, an island suddenly burst through the mist and approached the boat with astonishing speed. The boat was engulfed by wild waves as Senel tried to steer it. When they woke up on the shore, they realized it was not an ordinary island, but actually the deck of the mysterious giant ship called Legacy. Have they stumbled upon an unknown civilization, or is the Legacy a relic of something long past?
In development for several years, "Tales of Legendia" will offer fantastic 3D graphics, dynamic battle scenes and an emotionally-charged storyline. Additionally, "Tales of Legendia" features a unique cast of characters designed by Kazuto Nakazawa, the internationally renowned Japanese artist acclaimed for his amazing animation sequences in “Kill Bill: Vol. 1.”
The Tales series has been thrilling RPG fans around the world for nearly a decade. While it follows a traditional RPG format, the series is set apart by its slick presentation and art, real-time interactive battle system and clever level designs and puzzles.
Have a look at the screenshots and stay tuned for upcoming highlights in the near future.
