The ToH Main Site has been updated with two new commercials for the game, one CG and one Anime version. As for the Tales of Festival, its main site has also been updated with more detailed info on the events to be held, items to be sold, as well as the Tales Series personalities to be present.Sadly, we don't get to see Shing yelling "KOHHAAAKK!" yet. Downloads have been added over at the Tales of Hearts Video Page.
And lastly, another review for Vesperia, from G4TV's show, XPLAY. They gave Vesperia a 4/5. I watch XPLAY regularly, and I have to say this is a pretty high score they've given for a JRPG. Thanks to Bee for the heads up
.
