A bit down, but I have a trophy…

Yeah, I’m not feeling to well right now. Guess it was time for another depression to visit. Huh. I just want to get rid of this whole feeling that is covering me, I don’t like it. I loose all energy and will to do anything, what’s the use.
Hopefully I’ll start feeling better tomorrow when it time to work again, I always seem to steer clear of the dark thoughts when I am working. But we’ll see…

Well in better news at least, tomorrow is the start of E3 and I bet that’ll get me feeling much better. It is exciting this year, can’t wait to see what they’ll be announced. Looking forward to the Playstation 4. I’ll do my usual E3 posts later.

And last but not least. I managed to get the platinum trophy in Tales of Graces f, I never thought I’d go for that. So now there is nothing more for me in that game, a bit sad. But still a nice feeling when you know you’ve done everything in the game. All special bosses and stuff like that.

Tales of Symphonia HD is true!!

A while ago, I reported about a rumor that there perhaps was a Tales of Symphonia HD Collection coming. And that it would include Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Symphonia Dawn of The New World and today this pack was announced to be true!! This collection will be called Tales of Symphonia Unisonant Pack and will be released October 10th. This was all announced just right now in an event in Japan called Tales of Festival.

Right now I am so very hyped! I actually cried a little bit when I saw this announcement, guess that just proves to me how much I really liked Symphonia. Well it was my first Tales of game and it sure was love at first sight. The opening song too Tales of Symphonia “Starry Heavens” will be getting a new version, a 2013 remix if you will. Same with ToS2 opening song.

And to top it of, as I was writing this we got confirmation that this collection will be released in Europe and America early 2014!! My god! This has been the best day of this entire week for me I am so goddamn happy right now. Long live the Tales of series!!
It seems the collection will go under the name
Tales of Symphonia Chronicles in Europe and America, a name I think is a bit better than Unisonant Pack or just HD Collection that some developers just call their HD versions.

A few Tales of games rumor

Today I heard a rumor I really hope is true… and that is that there will be a Tales of Symphonia HD Collection. It would include both Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of The New World. It is rumored that it will be released.on Playstation 3.

I would like to play ToS2 with a real controller instead of the Wii-mote. For me it really brought down the game for me, I had a  hard time enjoying the fighting in the game because of it. Others say the game is crap either way, but I enjoyed what I played of  it. Everything but the controller.

In the same rumor it is also said that Tales of Xillia 2 will be translated too. So I really hope those rumors are true. They come from a Spanish site, where they’ve had an interview with Hideo Baba where he has hinted about these things.

Tales of Xillia EU release date!

Namco Bandai has today revealed the release date for the European version of Tales of Xillia. It will be released on August 9th. Only three days after the US release, that’s great! Europe will be treated with a Day One Edition this time around too, just like we where with Tales of Graces f. We’ll get a CD soundtrack and an artbook, plus the first edition print of the game.
I can hardly wait until I get my hands on this game, I’m looking forward to it so damn much!

I think that just about everyone should preorder this game, even if you like it or not!
The Tales of games, need more support! Show them your love, show Namco Bandai that you care and want more Tales of games released in the West.

Ni no Kuni, a great RPG!

And so I’ve rescued the world of Ni no Kuni, just beat the game and it was really nice.
A really nice adventure and a good game. Without a doubt my favorite Level-5 game.
Namco Bandai has done a great job with the localization and I love the English/British voice actors. It had great characters like the Shadar, I really liked him! He was a really cool bad guy, that felt somewhat original. Maybe not much, but he felt like a really great villain, compared to many others in games. And he has such a damn cool voice!
And the lord high lord of the fairies, Drippy! He is a great character and his dialect is great. Even if I have a hard time understanding what he is saying at times. I love his “Abraca-frickin’-dabra!

Good big classic world map, a pretty good fight system, really good music. If I have to give one complaint right now, I think I’ll say it was a bit too easy. I never really had to set any strategies in a fight, just press “X” and change characters to heal from time to time. I’m not saying it’s super easy, I’ve had some hard fights in the game. Even if they are few, but after a while did stopped being challenging. And I’m not a really big fan of several boss fights after one another. I really hated than in White Knight Chronicles 2, so glad Level-5 made this game so much better than WKC2. Because I wanted to throw the controller out of the window because of that damn game sometimes. Guess, I’ll never finish that game.

Ni no Kuni really is such a great game and if you have a PS3 and want a good JRPG, get this one. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I know I wasn’t, so 2013 as a game year has started really good. Hope the rest of the year is equally good and hope that Tales of Xillia can be released soon!

Ni no Kuni is here!

It arrived today, just like I hoped it would!! Woohoo! Installing the game data right now and I’ll precoded to make some breakfast, haven’t eaten a thing yet today. Now it’s going to be real interesting to see what I think about this game, I’ve waited so long for this.

I am feeling somewhat better today, so it’s back to work tomorrow. And then I can spend the entire weekend with Ni no Kuni. But now I am off to play!

I want mail!

I’ve been feeling really sick since Monday. So I have been home from work, I don’t like that. I want to work and not be at home. Well, sure I want to be home but not when I can earn money. But not much I can do about this damn cold, I just hope I can feel well enough to work again on thursday. Right now I am having trouble sleeping, since I keep coughing.
I hate it so much and the cough medicine tastes horrible… Yuck!

I am hoping the postman will bring something good in the mail today. He will probably not arrive for another 12 hours or so. But I sure hope I get my copy of Ni no Kuni today! Since it has been marked as shipped from where I ordered it, so I really, really hope I’ll get it today. I will post again in a few hours if I get the game.
