Aside from the Flynn Scifo wallpapers, the Tales of Vesperia Official Site has also updated their site with the System page. It shows a few new screenshots, better quality screenshots (scroll down) of a few we had before, plus info on the Material Gathering, Item Synthesis, and Weapon Skills system of the game. We've already posted this info before, but just for a refresher:
1. Materials can be gathered in two ways: monster/enemy drops or via finding them on the world map (kind of like search points). 2. In town, merchants have an extra menu for synthesis, where you can use the materials you gathered to synth new items. A good number of weapons can only be obtained via synthesis. 3. Equipping some weapons/accessories enable you to use a skill that the item has. In due time, once you've accumulated enough Learning Points (LP), you have now learned the skill without having to equip the weapon/accessory. 4. Using a learned skill earns you Skill Points (SP), which you can allocate to other skills to learn them.
>> Tales of Vesperia Website Update: New Wallpaper
SyphonVectorman
It is what the title says, the Tales of Vesperia Offical Website had new wallpaper in their "Special" page under the "Download" tab. This new wallpaper features Flynn Sifo. The wallpaper is in both 1024x768 & 1280x1024 dimensions, so check them out if you want.
some new little tidbit of info and a couple of new pics about DoW, not that much just that the "Sorcerer's Ring" will now be a mini game O_O (I'm guessing they won't allow for us to use it throughout the game but why??? maybe they'll do it like Legendia.......) the other thing is the "Katz Guild"(those weird guys dressed in Katz suits in ToS are back! ) has A LOT of sidequests that will be available(I'm guessing you get new ones available to you as you complete old ones)
A new famitsu interview reveals some new things about ToV(Courtesy of RpgMonkey of Gamefaqs)
-Flynn is on a journey because of a mission he accepted to do.
-It seems there are assassins after Flynn's life because of his mission(s) and motives.
-Flynn will become entangled with the party, but whether or not he joins we'll have to play to see.
-there is a small amount of friendship between Flynn and Estelle. It seems Flynn was a bodyguard/escort for her a while ago.
-Apparently the whole thing with Repede's former owner doesn't become entangled into the main story.
-Yuri is an acquaintance of his former owner.
-I think it says Repede was designed by Radiant Mythology's staff (I think Gouda said it was the art director)?
-The pipe is a memento of his former owner. But as I said, apparently none of all this stuff is going to be a part of the main story.
-Each party member has a main weapon and sub weapon. Repede's chain is an example of a sub weapon.
-Yuri's main weapon is a sword and his sub weapon is his fist. Estelle's are swords and staffs and her sub weapon is her shield. Really makes you interested in what the rest have, huh?
-You can learn unique skills from sub weapons.
-The appearance of armor changes along with weapons and sub weapons. Don't know to what extent this goes to though.
-Apparently Repede has a voice actor. They're waiting to reveal them, unless I got this wrong and they're still finding one.
-Repede doesn't talk in event scenes, but you can see his activity and stuff while they're happening.
-He's in skits (but I don't think he'll be talking there either), but I think they say he has various facial animations and stuff. I think this may have confirmed that Repede doesn't talk (human) speech if I interpreted this right.
-Repede can cook and gets titles.
-Though those two people with Flynn are his subordinates. He also gets promoted in the story.
-There is no blood relation between Flynn and that Blond Haired kid, apparently his part in the story has more to do with Estelle.
-Flynn and Yuri come from the same background. Guess this gets rid of my notion that Flynn was from a slightly more important family than Yuri.
-Already explained the item synthesis and stuff a while back, but in case this is new news, the probability of getting items increases when you do one of those instant kill attacks.
-Talks about the skill system, don't think it's anything particularly interesting in there, but there seems to about the same amount of skills as Abyss, and you can make important treasures (think the Special Flag and stuff).
-There's a weather system, but it's not random. Certain requirements are needed.
