After a few different stories in past year, we have multiple reports of character costumes going through a few changes during localization. Tales of Berseria producer Yasuhiro Fukaya has assured fans that this will not be the case with the main protagonist Velvet.
Dualshocker‘s reports his response from a recent event:
I promise. Velvet’s costume will surely be the same in the western version. The design of that costume is created by Mutsumi Inomata, and she created that costume based on the character’s concept and setting, and on the storyline.
I believe that those who support the Tales Of series like to have exactly the same content as the Japanese version. We believe it’s ideal and the best option to bring exactly the same game experience and design to the western countries. I promise that Velvet is still Velvet in the western version.
Tales of Berseria is coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 on Aug 18 in Japan; PlayStation 4 and PC in EU and NA.
