Update: December 22, 2008
«©NCSX» Hisui Hearts and his sister Kohak are running along in the rain with urgency when they fall down an embankment. The two watch the lightning in the distance when they're approached by a shrouded female stranger with a deep voice. The shrouded figure proceeds to launch a ball of energy at the siblings which sends them over a cliff and into the rapids below. From this inauspicious beginning, the latest Tales game kicks off. Players adopt the role of a feathery-haired hero named Shing Meteoryte who befriends the Hearts siblings when he finds them washed ashore on a beach near his home. When Shing first spots them, he comments that Kohak is attractive and proceeds to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. His heroic effort is met with a punch in the face when Kohak revives herself and finds Shing's actions (maybe it was his pursed lips) disagreeable.

NCS Game Notes
» The quality of the song "Eien no Ashita" that's played in the introductory cinema is of remarkably good quality. We're guessing a good amount of memory on the game card was dedicated to the song alone. DEEN is the singer. » The proper game begins in the town of Seeble where we meet a lad named Shing who lives with his grandpa Zecks in a small one-room home. While wandering around the beach one day, Shing stumbles onto two siblings named Kohak and Hisui Hearts who have washed ashore. » Shing and the Hearts all have the ability to use SOMA which are special artifacts that can attack the evil in the world which are called Zerom. Shing's SOMA is called Asteria. » In the first battle of the game, Shing faces off against two wolves by his lonesome. Namco installed the "Combination Aerial Linear Motion Battle System" in Tales of Hearts which is a convoluted way of saying "side scrolling hack 'n slash" where the hero moves and slashes on a 2D plane. » Voice acting accompanies the dialogue in the game. Similar to the opening song, the voices are of excellent quality. This document is ©NCSX 2008. All rights reserved.
