Namco Announces Tales of Vesperia The Animated Movie

Namco Bandai announced today on Famitsu that there will be a Tales of Vesperia animated movie coming out soon in Japan. The movie will be called Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike which will be a prequel to the game and will be hitting in Japanese theaters sometime later this year. 

This come to no surprise for some fans of the Tales series out there, since Namco did release animated versions of other Tales series such as Tales of Eternia, Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Symphonia, and Tales of Abyss. However, Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike will be the first Tales game to be made into a full feature animated movie.

Tales of Vesperia is the tenth title in the Tales series and was released in August 2008. 

Famitsu awarded Tales of Vesperia a score of 9/9/9/8, totaling 35/40, GameSpot nominated the game for “Best Story” and “Best Artistic graphics” in their “Best of 2008″, and IGN gave it a 8.2 out of 10 rating, stating “Tales of Vesperia is a strong anime-style Japanese RPG with a wide-ranging story, compelling characters and an intense real-time battle system that keeps you on your toes.”
