Tales of Zestiria Unveils New Boss Character

Takayuki Sugo voices mysterious enemy in PS3 game shipping next Thursday

This year's eighth issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump will unveil a new boss character for Bandai Namco Games' upcoming PlayStation 3 game Tales of Zestiria on Monday. Takayuki Sugo will voice the character, whose name has yet to be revealed. He is a calm and decisive and has plans to destroy the world as it is.
Namco Bandai Studio's Daigo Okumura designed the character Alisha, while Kousuke Fujishima designed Sorey. Mutsumi Inomata is also returning to contribute characterdesigns along with Minoru Iwamoto. The anime studio ufotable is once again contributing animation for cut scenes and the opening for the game under studio founder and producer Hikaru KondoMotoi Sakuraba and Gō Shiina are composing the soundtrack and Superfly is performing the game's theme song, "White Light."
The full battle system, titled "Fusonic Chain-LMBS" (with LMBS standing for "Linear Motion Battle System), renews the franchise's real-time battle system, and adds a gauge that lets characters freely battle as long as there is stock in it. By using the gauge, effects such as healing and blowing away the enemy will be usable. The game will also include a new battle feature called "Kamui" that allows for a human and a heavenly being to fuse. In the game, Sorey will be able to fuse with Heavenly Beings such as Lailah, changing his form and allowing him to use Lailah's attributes to attack.
The game will be released on January 22 in Japan. Pre-orders of the game will include a product code to download a "Limited Premium Hidden Artes," as well as one of fourpremium rubber straps designed to look like Sorey, Mikleo, Alisha, and Edna. The game will sell for the suggested retail price of 8,070 yen (about US$67).
