Tales of Hearts R Videos Show Calcedny, Kunzite, Innes in Battle

Namco Bandai Games began streaming three combat videos for the now playable character Calcedny Arcome (voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya) as well as for Kunzite (Hozumi Gôda) and Innes Lorenz (Shizuka Itou) from its Tales of Hearts R game on Thursday.

Production I.G will produce the anime cutscenes for Tales of Hearts R. The main scenario with protagonist Shing Meteoryte (Tetsuya Kakihara) will be fully voiced with 10 new animated story events. Additional cast members include Marina Inoue as Kohak Hearts, Masaya Matsukaze as Hisui Hearts, Saeko Chiba as Beryl Benito, and the exclusive character Galando Grinus (Hideo Ishikawa).

The graphics, backgrounds, character models, and battle system will also be upgraded. The battle system will also feature 3D graphics and a "chase link" mode that will allow players to make aerial attacks if certain conditions are met. The new game will also include a field map.

Namco Bandai Games will ship Tales of Hearts R on March 7 in a standard edition for 6,480 yen (about US$77) and a "Link" Edition for 9,980 yen (US$119). A download-only edition will also be available for 5,830 yen (US$69).
