Altro, preso da Siliconera
"In commemoration of the Tales of series’ 20 year anniversary, Namco Bandai held a special NicoNico Live stream, to look back at the franchise’s past work and to announce the latest title in Tales of Zestiria for PlayStation 3.
After thanking fans and staff members, series producer Hideo Baba presented a video of the latest game, Tales of Zestiria. The game takes place in a world has once fallen to darkness, but has regained light thanks to a high-priest. However, after ages of peace, darkness returns and this time the priest is nowhere to be found.
The character designs will be done by series artists Mutsumi Inomata (Graces), Kosuke Fujishima (Symphonia), Daigo Okumura (Dawn of the New World), and Jin Iwamoto (Radiant Mythology)."
"Tales of Zestiria will feature some sort of new battle system that was designed after evaluating fan feedback from questionnaires. Hideo Baba says that they’ll be announcing more on the battle system in a later announcement, but he expects it to be something new that fans can expect to look forward to.
The story will revolve around the subject of “dragons,” which is also the reason why it’s shown in the logo of the new title. According to Baba, dragons symbolize fantasy, which is something they’d like to focus on for the upcoming title. The game will also focus a lot on the explorative aspect of the game, with various terrains and landscapes to explore in the lands of Green Wood.
Hikaru Kondo, producer of Japanese animation studio Ufotable, who worked on the Tales of Symphonia OVAs, will also be involved in the development of Tales of Zestiria."
"Last night, Namco Bandai announced Tales of Zestiria, the next games in the Tales of RPG series for PlayStation 3. Although the game has no release date yet, Namco Bandai do have plans to release Tales of Zestiria worldwide.
“Over the past few years the Tales of team has taken great strides to strengthen our relationship with players across North America and Europe,” said Tales of series producer Hideo Baba in a press release this morning. “To respond to their love and support I am honored to open a new chapter of the Tales of series together with Japanese and overseas fans.”

“In recent years we have received anticipation for the series not only from Japan, but from overseas fans as well. Because of this I feel that the Tales of series has more potential than ever before.

This title will be going back to the roots of the series and boldly exclaim to the world ‘this is Tales of!’”
Tales of Zestiria features character designs by all four series designers: Mutsumi Inomata, Kosuke Fujishima, Daigo Okumura, and Minoru Iwamoto. The game returns to a fantasy setting and is meant to convey the “zest” of adventure."
@Giobbi, in Giappone se ne starebbero volentieri con 3ds, Ps3 e cellulari fino al 2020...e avrebbero pure ragione.
