Vesperia.net is an online guide and fan interest site about the role-playing game, Tales of Vesperia, for XBOX 360. We're very excited for the grand opening of our site! Unfortunately the site is still in its early stage of development, but we have it opened for a pre-launch release to allow guests to view currently available content. However updates are added frequently, so please check this page time and time again to view all the latest progress on our site. Without further ado, I present the brand new Vesperia.net. We hope you enjoy your stay!

Sorry for the delay, but the Tales of Vesperia Manga Chapter 5, Shaikos Ruins, is now up! To read it, go to the mangas section of the site.

Also, I FINALLY redesigned the forums. After foolishly reseting the forum style and reverting it to the ugly default phpBB style, I finally took the time to restore it as best as I can. Unfortunately there might still be a few minor things I missed while editing. So if something looks off, please comment this post and report the error! And if you haven't registered yet, be sure to do so! Thanks a bunch!

This month's special issue of Kinema Junpo magazine will announce that Kadokawa Pictures will adapt Namco's Tales of Vesperia role-playing game for the Xbox 360 console into a theatrical film this year. Kanta Kamei (Digimon: Diaboromon Strikes Back animation director, Kill Bill Chapter 3: The Origin of O-Ren visual supervisor) will direct, and Kousuke Toriumi (Basilisk, Di Gi Charat, Naruto, To Heart) will play a voice role in it.

And Thanks to Rikku1993 for letting us know.

Tales of The World: Radiant Mythology 2 is now released in Japan for the PlayStation Portable! No word on a release outside of Japan, and don't hold your breath for one. The game, however, has NO region protection so it CAN be played on North American and European PSPs. Radiant Mythology 2 is the sixth entry in the Tales of the World series, and the second entry in the Radiant Mythology series. Like other games in the series, it features a group of characters from various Tales games. Over 50 characters from the series are said to make an appearance. For a list of Tales characters appearing in the game and more info visit this thread.

Yeah, you read right! For this important update, we have for you the Tales of Vesperia manga! Thanks to my friend JT for letting me know of its existence. After he told me I had to add a manga section to the site as soon as possible. Consider this a late Christmas gift from Vesperia.net. Hope you enjoy.

I also added an Introductions forum. It's something I should've done awhile ago. It allows new members to introduce themselves to the community. So go ahead and introduce yourself!

UPDATE: Added the Flynn the Holy Silver Knight manga to the mangas section. Go to http://vesperia.net/flynnmanga.php to read! We have the first 2 chapters up, and the rest will be added as soon as they're released. Enjoy.
