New EX Attack to be held March 4 to March 11. I'm having a hard time translating the conditions at the moment, but it has something to do with getting your Grade up by 50% or something within 30 minutes, regardless of what job class you have.
The top ranking person will receive a Rare Shield (レアシールド, shield), while those next in rank will receive a Tenebrae T-Shirt (テネブラエTシャツ, armor) and a Bacura (バキュラ, it's a shield).
Gifts for those who will participate are a Soul Edge (ソウルエッジ, a broadsword), a Fan (うちわ, it's a dagger), and a Happi/Happy Coat (法被, armor).
Those who will be purchasing the Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 Complete Guide are entitled to downloads of Nekonin (Katz) equipment. The guide comes out on the 5th of this March.
They would also like to apologize for a misprint in the guide regarding the said Nekonin equips.
The info that was published on the guide was: Max TP + 12% Casting Speed 11% faster Defense + 12%
And the correct information is: Critical Rate + 12% Weapons Efficiency + 20% Guard Destruction (?) + 1 Overlimit + 19%
Speaking of RM2, according to this article from KOtaku, which lists the top 10 video games that sold in Japan last month, RM2 sold the most, garnering a total of 288,860 sales and the top spot. Hopefully, this will get Namdai to consider a localization... -pokes Namdai xD-
TotA Status: Ep21 - QC'ing Ep22 - Editing, Timing, AFX
Aaaand a whole lot today. Knock yourselves out ^__^. Again, no DDLs.... Sorry .__.; As usual, bots will be later, once Ky0-Sama's up and about (#abyssalchronicles@irc.rizon.net)
Episode 18 - Absorption Gate I suggest clicking the Jade image. SRSLY.
Finally we've caught up. This is thanks to the new staff (who work too fast I'm not used to it yet xD). For 21, it's currently being edited. Expect it to be out later this week. As for 22, we're still raw-hunting.
According to Rpgmonkey fro the Tales Forums, 3 more Tales names have been trademarked by Namdai.
商願2009-000951 テイルズ オブ フローリア＼Ｔａｌｅｓ ｏｆ Ｆｌｏｒｉａ (This was the same one they named as "Tales of Floweria" a while back, katakana-wise) 商願2009-000952 テイルズ オブ スターティア＼Ｔａｌｅｓ ｏｆ Ｓｔａｒｔｅａｒ 商願2009-000953 テイルズ オブ ブレシア＼Ｔａｌｅｓ ｏｆ Ｂｌｅｓｓｉａ
There was also an interview with Higuchi. Most important thing to note in the interview was him saying that the series isn't dedicated to just one console, and that the producer and the particular hardware are not closely attached at all.
Also, they updated the ToH Developer's Blog with info on DEEN's new album, "DEEN NEXT STAGE" which is set to be released today. It comes in a normal CD version and a DVD version, which is to have ToH's opening movie (both anime and CG versions), as well as a bunch of the PVs of DEEN's songs. The album will have a "Ballad Version" of "永遠の明日" (Eien no Ashita - Eternal Tomorrow), ToH's opening theme. DVD version is at 3,885円 [Yen] (around $40), while the CD version is at 3,059円 (around $32).
Hey, we're back ^__^. Aka suddenly came back, and he's done with 17. He said he'll have 18 by Thursday or Friday, and as of now, our back-up encoder is working on 19 ^__^. Expect us to catch up soon =3.
Anyway, here's episode 17. And the DDL server is currently down, so you'll have to go with MegaUpload for now =(. Bots now available (#abyssalchronicles@irc.rizon.net). There's also a note after the opening regarding Jade's Thunder Blade arte in this episode.
