Description
Man I kept forgetting to upload this here, but AAAHHHHHHH I'm so excited for the Tales of Symphonia remaster!! It's been a good year for Tales in general, what with the release of Xillia in the US/EU and announcement of localization of both the Symphonia remaster (PS2 version at last!) and Xillia 2 next year, ahhhhhh I can't wait!It's been over 7 years since I last played Symphonia, and ohgosh seeing the trailers for the remaster just hit me with such a wave of nostalgia. The Tales of series really means a lot to me, as they were one of the best things to happen to me back then, and they led to the start of so many friendships through a super-sweet and terrific fandom that I still hold dear to my heart today. I can't wait to revisit this world again~
Anyway, just a quick oekaki over at the Tales of Oekaki Board .
I was inspired by the colorful artworks of ~juvari to try using a more interesting palette, though I'm not that great at it yet, hahah! Still, a lot of fun~ <3

Ahahaahh, ohman thanks! I really like Kosuke Fujishima's character designs~ *-*
And the Tales games are a ton of fun, they also have real-time multiplayer battles too so it's such a blast to play them~ You should give 'em a try if you ever have the time!

I know you've gone on about the Tales Of games quite a lot. So when I started seeing all this stuff about western releases of some of the games I looked into it and they seem like quite intriguing games.
This article I read about Xillia made it sound quite good. It's been aaaaaaaaaages since I've played a jrpg so it could be time for me to get back into it.
I blame your brainwashing about the series for some of that urge.

Hahahahah, ohmaaaaaaaaan you shoould~!! <:'D I mean, Xillia's not gonna be as great as Abyss I just know, but so far it's a lot of fun! (I've heard it's actually kinda short/ends a bit rushed though... xD; ) And yeah, Xillia got good reviews over here, which is kinda impressive it's a JRPG~ <3
(And, and, I hear Xillia 2 is a real killer in terms of having a dark and serious storyline~ 8'D)

Oh you and your dark and serious storylines. But I have been wanting to get back into jrpg's so maybe Xillia could be for me.
I'm bored with Final Fantasy now so I think I need something to take it's place. I was kinda looking into Fire Emblem and some other things but they didn't really grab me.

Well the Tales games are always terrific since the battles are real-time action (and multiplayer, too!), so ohman you definitely should pick up a game and see if it isn't to your liking! <:'D But yeah, I'm really liking Xillia so far (granted I'm only about 12 or so hours in), it's a lot of fun! : D
(Though I will forever and always preach that Abyss is my favorite and has the best storyline, hahahah!)

Well if Xillia does well maybe they'll think about releasing the other games.
Maybe they'll do HD versions.

Hahahahahah, actually, they are!!! They're doing a remastered version of Tales of Symphonia for the PS3, so I can't waaaiiit~ <3
They actually announced that, and Xillia, and Xillia 2 all to be localized for the US, I'm so excited cuz I've waited years for Tales to finally sell outside of Japan~!!! ;0; <3<3<3

I was reading something about how the Japanese game market is crashing and burning. Something about the yen. I don't know...I didn't really understand it. But it went on to say that a lot of games Japanese publishers would never before have considered releasing in western markets are now being considered. There seems to have been a lot of localisation going on lately. I guess it's cheaper than making a new game.

Ohman, that could help explain it... oAo;;
Either way, I'm reaaally happy for the games getting localized, though I mean, it'd be good if none of the game companies went out of business, hahah!

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah it's been amazing! IMO though a PS3 is definitely worth it, I bought one just for Tales of Graces f, and with Xillia and the Symphonia remaster both for PS3 I think it's definitely worth it... xD (And Xillia 2 I think will also be released for PS3!)

Haha, I was JUST yesterday randomly thinking about that GameCube cutscene where they cross paths (I didn't know there was any new stuff coming out so soon) Gotta love some of that Chosen-shipping.
Looks great; for some reason the style makes me think about how time has flown by..

PAHAHAHAHAH. I'm trying to think of the great and powerful scenes in Symphonia but all I keep thinking of is the "Ha ha, you got rejected!" line... ohgod xD
But man, is it just me or has Symphonia aged really well?? The crisper edges are a nice touch but the graphics in general are just really amazing???

47ness In reply to Laitma [2013-08-14 21:01:54 +0000 UTC]
Haha, yes. "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours."
I suppose? I just love what they do with the Tales brand in general, so it feels like a continuum of happy-fun-tiemz from game to game.
(As far as graphics, I'm old enough to remember when RPGs really forced you to use your imagination; watching 16-bit sprites act out really emotional scenes and you believed it... :0)

Oekakkkkiiiiiiii <3
And I've been enjoying your colourful palettes actually *_* Limegreenlimegreenlimegreen. It's something I need to do more myself. I've been getting more neutral because of the types of things I've been colouring when in fact I wanna do more ambitious things~
(ps Zelos looks perfect in your style.)

Laitma In reply to Cet-Tin [2013-08-14 12:35:45 +0000 UTC]
Pahahahahah, really?!? I find Zelos to be really really freakin' hard to draw for some reason--something about the suave-bishonen-yet-very-anime kinda look I have a hard time pinning down, hahahahah... but agh, thanks!
And ohman lime green is TERRIFYING, I am not comfortable using such bright colors at all hahahah, but I'll keep trying~!!

You say that but look at your Strife portrait *_* (pets)
I'm still uncomfortable using bright colours too. I always default back to bright colours in neutral palettes when things start getting to psychedelic. I need to stop being so safe. xD
