Hi, my alias is Hearts.
This is pretty much just a straightforward(generic) introduction thread.

Anyway, after getting a copy of Ys: The Oath in Felghana, I've become progressively interested in XSEED's future translations of the franchise-- as well as other games they've translated. You peeps at XSEED are exceptionally awesome!

Aside from being a newbie fan of Ys and playing RPGs in general, I'm what you would call an aspiring artist. I plan to make an animation career out of it, but I still have quite the wall to climb in order to achieve that goal. I've been drawing seriously for about 4(5?) years and I think I've made some solid progress in my artwork. So to shamefully promote myself, check out my art blog or dA when you have the time.

Anyway that just about covers up my intro, I hope I'll enjoy my stay here at XSEED's forums.

Hey, I know you from Tales. Nice to see ya here.

No introduction that professes love for Ys is generic! The German dude at your dA page looks pretty slick.

Nice to see you here too.

Ys is pretty amazing.
Thanks for the complement.

Well I do greatly enjoy the anime, and not just because Sakura is a loli. '>_>

Thanks~
Remember to practice, ahaha.

She is absolutely adorable, this is true. But the series itself is great.

I'm so BAD at drawing, though~~ ;A;

I'm an ooooooold member of the Tales Forum who likely doesn't know anyone on it anymore. You may or may not know of someone that is called "IceCoffin" there. Thaaaaaat's me! :D

I had to look you up, but I remember you now! But that's probably because you weren't too active by the time I started getting very active. :P

I feel kinda left out, considering I was thinking about joining the Tales forum but never did... I think that was around the time Abyss came out. And now that it's been... I dunno, three years since Vesperia came out and we haven't gotten anything since? Kinda hoping if the announcement about Graces falls through that XSEED can get a hold of it. Or heck, the PS3 port of Vesperia would be AMAZING if they could get it. Regardless, it's a good thing a lot of us know each other, right?

Well, actually, Namco just announced in February that they'd be bringing over Graces F.

No idea what system it's for, as they're keeping fairly shut tight about it, but at least it's somethin'.

Graces F is PS3-only, at least in Japan, so unless they want to be doing MORE work to bring it over to the US besides the typical localization stuff... I mean, if they're working to "patch" the Wii version, that'd be nifty, but the other part of Graces F was the graphical upgrade that they could do with the use of the PS3's GPU. I actually played the Japanese demo of Graces F and it was freakin' PRETTY. Somehow I don't think the Wii could manage that.

Yeah, I'm pretty convinced it'll stay PS3 exclusive (which I am cool with, as I own Graces Wii already), but since they've been so quiet about it, fans have begun to speculate that they might back-port it to the Wii (basically just putting the extra content onto the Wii version and of course keeping the graphics the same), or even put it on 360 as well to attract Vesperia players.

[brightsuzaku]

Mmmm, I joined ToSF back when Symphonia was big, so I feel darn old on that forum. Really darn old. Like, rotten bacon old.

Anyways, I'm VERY pleased by the announcement of Tales of Graces F, but I need to finish Vesperia! And *cough* go through my ENTIRE Abyss game again with my backwards-compatible PS3. Especially since I no longer have my PS2 and PS1 memory cards. :(

[WanderingMind]

That reminds me, I should play more Tales games. I've only finished Symphonia 1, and that was a year and a half ago. I'm happy about Tales of Graces F being announced, but I should finish Abyss and Vesperia. Then there's Rebirth for the PSP, which I'm going to get from a friend sometime this summer.

[ririkun]

That'd be pretty awesome if they ported Graces F to the 360! Then I wouldn't have to worry so much about my KIA PS3. :<

Might be an interesting idea to start going on another forum joining stint like I did a year or so back. I used to be really active on a couple, but then... something happened, I dunno. Plus, considering I'm planning on recording some playthroughs of all the Tales games, it might be fun!

You might want to be careful playing Abyss on the PS3, though! The game freezes at Choral Castle, consistently. So unless you have some way to play through that section off the PS3...

[brightsuzaku]

Shoot, it freezes on Choral Castle?! Sadness! Well, that means I'll have to beat that on.... my best friend's PS2! Since, y'see, it's gone along with my memory cards. ;_;

Awwww that sucks. :<

My PS2 is slowly dying as well, so I think I'll probably have to do what you're doing! ... eventually. Since the PS3 IS dead (and also backwards compatible) and I have to fix it. Or I could always just buy another PS2. They're only... what, $60-90 USD?
