Tales of Soul Calibur-ia

GamesRadar has posted a load of new Soul Calibur Legends screens, revealing the (probably) playable Lloyd much more clearly than those scans the other day. He's got a bunch of cool-looking moves, including ... some ... uh, thing with some, like, wings, and ... look, we didn't play Tales of Symphonia, okay? This is one particular bit of Namco cross-pollination that doesn't really affect us that much. As a new character, he looks pretty neat, but being generally clueless about the Tales RPGs, seeing Lloyd doesn't really set off any fanboyism for us. We're just lucky that he's a sword guy, and thus will probably be an interesting character even to non-Tales fans.

Although, now that we think about it, we wouldn't mind the 'wacky' approach-- bring in all the Namco characters you can fit on the disc, guys! We'd love to play through an action game as Mr. Driller, or Pac-Man, or one of the Galaga ships.

Tales of Symphonia’s Lloyd gets around

Now that we can see the Tales of Symphonia: Knights of Ratatoskr trailer without taking Dramamine first, we can clearly see Tales of Symphonia's protagonist Lloyd in the final shot there. So he'll be making a cameo appearance, at least, in the new game. Siliconera pointed out the cameo, using the skill of maybe having played Tales of Symphonia.

But that's not the only Bandai Namco game Lloyd is wandering into. Via an appearance as what looks like a playable character in Soul Calibur Legends, Lloyd will instantly double the series' foppish dandy quotient (FDQ). But hey, having more Namco series characters in Soul Calibur Legends brings us one step closer to our dream of fighting as the Prince of All Cosmos.
