Arc Rise Fantasia





Rune Factory: Frontier









The good folks at RPGamer have added a shit ton of new English Tales of Vesperia Media to their site recently, which is a mighty good thing for us folks without 360s(who can't download the demo that was put out...)! I must say the english voice acting isn't too bad but I still hope the game get's the good old language option, cause some of the character's voices don't sit well with me... Anywho here's a few of the screenshots for you all to stare at, enjoy!






See more screenshots Here, and make sure you check out the videos Here.

Hello folks!
I'm sure you don't need a post letting you know about this, but I have updated the site's layout a bit. As you can see I've added mostly just some more color(or "shade" I suppose is the correct term.)
I tried to get the sidebar widgets to have rounded corners, but I couldn't figure out how to get it all finished(notice the lack of red sides?), so that's really only half finished, so if anyone could tell me how to fix them that would be great!

Also another little glitch is that the little shading around the "posted by" and "labels" stuff at the end of every post doesn't line up with the text when you look at a single post(The intense debate comment system is pushing down the text but the background image isn't moving with the text). So that's another thing I need help figuring out. But for now i'm pretty happy with the changes I've made, and it's been a good year now so a layout update was needed!

So I hope you all enjoy the new look, and if you can help me fix those issues that'd be great!

Thanks a lot for checking out and sticking with RPG Lamer!
It seems Namco Bandai had a PDF on their website listing up coming titles. In this list Tales of Vesperia was listed for 360, AND PS3! Any mention of Tales Of Vesperia for the PS3 was soon removed from the PDF.

So was this just a typo? I think not! Let's not forget last year when Tales of Vesperia was announced, it was leaked in the HTML that the game would be appearing on the 360. That was later replaced with a sort of "Haha you sly dogs, you! No info here! *whistles*" type of message where the system info was before. Not to mention, it's been assumed since the beginning that PS3 would be seeing a port of Tales Of Vesperia one of these days. Mind you Namco Bandai hasn't really commented on this "slip up", but odds are good that we will indeed be seeing Tales of Vesperia on the PS3 someday soon.

Also it bares mentioning that that PDF also lists an untitled Tales of game for the DS. This hasn't been removed either! So woot, new Tales of DS game on the way!

As always folks if you wanna preorder any of the listed games, or buy any other games for that matter it's always a big help if you do it through RPG Lamer.
RPG Lamer has affilation programs with two great and trust worthy online retailers, Amazon for your North American gaming needs, and Play-Asia for all that importing goodness. Just click the names of those two sites, you will then be sent to their main page where you can shop as you would normally. However, anything you buy using those links I will get a small percentage of the sale price, which is very helpfully, and a nice way to show you care for RPG lamer!
So Please if you're thinking about picking up one of these, or any other game(s) do it through RPG Lamer.

Either by using the links mentioned above, or by using the search bars located to the right of this post, either way you're helping RPG Lamer, and to those of you who have used my affilation links thanks, I hope you will consider using them again!

Kinda... It's not an exact date, but it's better then nothing. "Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon" has been announced for North America, and will be released later this Fall, which is way sooner then I thought it would be released(I thought at least winter, early next year being the latest).

Rune Factory 2 is set several years after the first game. The evil Sechs Empire has been defeated, and the Kingdom of Norad is once again at peace. Things may not stay that way for long, however, as dark premonitions foretell of dangers to come. It’s up to player to uncover the source of these premonitions and bring peace to the kingdom once more. Over the course of the story, players will build and develop a farm, befriend townspeople, raise monsters, take on quests, and find a wife. Rune Factory 2 offers innovative Touch Screen controls, easy-to-use menus, and an all-new compelling storyline.

In a first for the Rune Factory series, the story of Rune Factory 2 is multigenerational. Players begin the game as Kyle, a strange man who comes to Alvarna Village. Eventually, players will take on the role of Kyle’s child, opening up a whole new adventure. It’s an innovative feature that allows players to follow the story of their family and the townsfolk over two generations!
