PlayStation 3 owners who also happen to be role-playing fans are finally getting the titles they crave; Demon's Souls , Dragon Age: Origins , White Knight Chronicles , Last Rebellion , Alpha Protocol , and others are on the way.
But let's not forget about Tales of Vesperia , which will finally land on the PS3 after debuting on the Xbox 360. And like Eternal Sonata – which PS3 owners also had to wait a long time for – we'll get a new and improved version, loaded with plenty of exclusive content. If you want to know about that special content, visit Just Push Start ; you will find that new costumes are on tap, along with Secret Artes for both Yuri and Flynn. You'll also be able to play as a team in the Arena Battles (only one character could participate in the 360 version) and you'll even get a shot at the Don while playing as Yuri. All of this will certainly make the PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia superior (provided the technical aspects don't suffer in the transition), but unfortunately, it still hasn't been confirmed for North America. We know it'll release in Japan but for a lot of you, that just isn't good enough. Come on, Namco, don't ignore all the RPG fanatics 'round these parts!
But even if it doesn't show up here, we've still got all those RPGs I mentioned earlier, and there's always the importing option for the truly hardcore.
Related Game(s): Tales of Vesperia
It better come out here!
I'll import this and read the subtitles provided by fans (I'm sure SOMEONE will translate it)
Beautiful game
Great artstyle, fun fun fun
Love the comedy and humor in jrpgs
And the fact that it actually has a story.

Now only Star Ocean 4 left…
I don't want that on my ps3
If I'm gonna be constantly fighting in the most annoying ways possible I'd rather getr Demon's Soul.
Not saying it's a bad game though.
I bet if it was a PS3 exclusive, you would give them more credit. Star Ocean 4 is a great game anyway you see it.
Well I made it clear that I'm not saying it's a bad game.
Based on the horrible experience Ben had with it I'd rather get Demon's Soul if I'm gonna be constantly fighting.
I'll take all the rpg's i can get for my Ps3, the srpg's are getting repetitive(not in gameplay,but in releasing)
Well.. I love the Star Ocean universe, it just never disappoints me ^_^
And I like the insane over-the-top JRPG combo chaining battle system. With extra flashy moves once you unlock the secret Ultimate Moves scrolls.
=D
Already have this one imported, still though can't wait for an American release.
Yea Seriously Namco better bring this over to America, they've been screwing over Ps3 owner severely
who do i have to kill to get some genre variety in games these days?
seriously look at all the games coming this year and their all either FPS, TPS, racers or RPGs.
i miss the good old PS1 days where we had more platformers than you could shake a stick at.
games like pandemonium or odworld or crash bandicoot or sly cooper or jack an daxter.
now the only platformer i have to look forward to is R&C.
not that i hate FPS and such but lets have some more variety here people.
OMG!!! I could not agree more!!!
While I do love my Killzones and my Resistance games, why not make more platformers?!?! Crash Bandicoot 3 is one of my favourites, and I got it off PSN.
Please announce a Jak and Daxter for PS3 soon Sony, pleeease!!! Variety is good. Look at the success of the Wii and the PS3 now with your lineup.
it is good news for ps3 owners, however, this game is no where near the coming JRPG bunch: Demon's Souls, Resonance of Fate, WKC, FF13, FFv13, and Magna Carta 2 on 360…

I wanna know more about Dragon Age. That sucker looks Pristine!
In totally unrelated news, we sold about 10 PS3 slim consoles and no Wii or 360 consoles at EB today. We've had about 7 360's traded in towards PS3's in the last week and the numbers continue to grow.
Sony really are climbing back to its dominant status. I still have to conquer the 360 fanboys posing as unbiased retail staff feeding lies and false rumours to undecided customers with little knowledge in the video games entertainment market.
When I tell customers what I've done with my PS3 and 360 to their full capabilities, they immediately buy a PS3. I try to remain as unbiased as possible while at it, but its so hard when PS3 is just so damn good at everything!!!! (save for party chat with friends and in-game music, but theres no doubt an update for those in the works)

I add this information^^
From September 4th through September 7th, an Anime Fest was held in Dallas, Texas for all you Naruto, Bleach and others' fans. Troy Baker, the English voice actor for Yuri Lowell in Tales of Vesperia was attending the event as a guest.
An attendee of the event decided to ask Baker whether or not he knows anything about an English localization for Tales of Vesperia on PlayStation 3, which should be releasing in Japan by next week. While he didn't directly respond, he did say that he and the other voice actors were sent back to do recordings of new moves/artes.
This could possibly be confirmation that they're already working on localizing the PlayStation 3 version of the game. Possibly.

Oh hey Xbox 360 users. THANKS FOR THE TEST DRIVE GUYS. Hahahahahaha!
be quiet. i was one of the few who bought the 360 verison. i'll upgrade for the ps3 verison (assuming it comes here), but there's no need to piss anyone else off. …cool avatar btw
by the way guys, i'm new. i've visited your site a few times because i found the ps3 news interesting. decided to become a member starting tonight. had the ps3 since april '09 (played it starting may) and its an awesome machine
@ sonic1899 – You found the PS3 news interesting because there actually IS news for the PS3. Have you looked up any news for the 360 lately? Nothing but Molyneux's fantasies.
How much you wanna bet any of the timed exclusive RPGs that were on 360 will sell better on the PS3? Including this game.
You think? Would be something if they did.
well most rpg fans are playstation fans so its a no brainer that theyll sell more on ps3. unfortunately, xbox users mainly care about shooters and not much else. it sounds arrogant, but if u own both consoles you'd notice that you'll mainly see other ppl playing gears, halo, or cod. in fact i rarely see other shooters other than those 3
