This feed keeps you up-to-date on all of Tales Central's latest action~ http://www.tales-central.com http://www.tales-central.com/picturegallery/gracespictures/gracesscree Fri, 11 Sep 2009 11:59:06 GMT Added some new Tales of Graces Screenshots. Also, just wanted to remind everyone, as an American, I vividly remember the images and the mindset I had on this day eight years ago when the United States was attacked. If you are an American, or if you are inclined to sympathize with the Americans that went through this, please take a second to pause and remember the horrible effect that resulted from the terrorists who flew airplanes into the twin towers, Pentagon, and crashed in the field in Pennsylvania on this day in 2001. Remember the toll this took on Americans, remember these innocent peoples' lives, and their families who have had to cope with this disaster. http://www.tales-central.com/talespicturegallery.html Sun, 06 Sep 2009 01:16:19 GMT Two new characters have been released for Tales of Graces: "Pascal" and "Malik"--we've got pictures~ ^_^ http://www.tales-central.com/submit.php Sun, 06 Sep 2009 01:07:58 GMT Added last month's updates into the Old Updates section. Gave the homepage here a little bit of a face-lift--roughly the same content, just arranged (hopefully) nicer. We'll see how it goes--maybe it'll change again, who knows. Message Board page looks a tad different, too. Something new of which you should be aware on the site is the Submission form (http://www.tales-central.com/submit.php) you can use to submit ANYTHING "Tales of..." related to the site, that you would like featured. I encourage anyone and everyone to use this system so we can simply continue to share as much "Tales of..." information we can~ http://www.tales-central.com/talespicturegallery.html Fri, 04 Sep 2009 15:39:15 GMT Added a new fanart, and new pictures of two of the newest characters announced for the upcoming game Tales of Graces in their pictures sections--Malik Pictures and Pascal Pictures. http://www.tales-central.com/vesperiavideo.html Wed, 02 Sep 2009 17:52:23 GMT New Tales of Vesperia PS3 trailer has been released! Go here (http://www.tales-central.com/vesperiavideo.html) or here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1oEF1w63l4) to check it out! Vesperia PS3 is set to be released on the PS3 in Japan on September 17th, 2009. http://www.tales-central.com/picturegallery/fanarts/fanarts Thu, 27 Aug 2009 00:52:21 GMT Added some "Tales of..." Fanarts, and *points to Kongman* keep 'em comin~ http://www.tales-central.com Wed, 26 Aug 2009 00:32:42 GMT Added new videos to the Tales of Destiny Video, Tales of Destiny 2 Video, Tales of Eternia Video, Tales of Hearts Video, Tales of Legendia Video, Tales of Phantasia Video, Tales of Rebirth Video, Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk/ Dawn of the New World Video, Tales of the Tempest Video sections; and yes, Tales Central now has a YouTube channel, so check it out, if you don't want to deal with the different pages and individual downloads here on the site. ALSO, after all that bothersome business about the scrollers, and deciding on a certain system recently--I've now reduced the sizes of the "Tales of..." logos on the main sub-pages, so that users can get to their desired "Tales of..." game even quicker. I only had stuck to larger logos for so long because they are just really pretty, and I thought people might like the artwork-- but we've definitely gotta keep speed in mind, when surfing the web, yes? http://www.tales-central.com Sun, 23 Aug 2009 21:38:12 GMT Added videos to the Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 Video and Tales of Vs. Video sections. http://www.tales-central.com/picturegallery/fanarts/fanarts Sat, 22 Aug 2009 23:14:12 GMT Added some more Fanarts. http://www.tales-central.com/picturegallery/fanarts/fanarts Fri, 21 Aug 2009 23:10:47 GMT Added some Fanarts--and Kongman wants you to keep 'em coming ^_^: Also, to help speed up access to each individual games' audio, or walkthroughs, or whatever, section, I added a vertical navigation bar to the right side of each sub-section main page. "Tales" Audio, "Tales" Video, "Tales" Games, "Tales" Pictures, "Tales" General Info, "Tales" Tips, Hints, and Secrets, "Tales" Cheats and Codes, and "Tales" Walkthroughs are all of the main pages with this change. This way, you won't have to be dependent on the slow-moving scroller on each page if you already know the exact game for which you want the given type of information/data. Try it out--it's neat ^_^ http://www.tales-central.com Tue, 18 Aug 2009 23:04:15 GMT Added videos to the Tales of Vesperia Videos section, and some more videos to the Tales of Hearts Videos section. http://www.tales-central.com Tue, 18 Aug 2009 00:54:18 GMT Added some brief descriptions to each of the site's main sub-pages, just to cover up some white space and to give people a better idea of what to expect from all of the pages on the Tales Central website. Added videos to the Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology and Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk/Dawn of the New World sections. http://www.tales-central.com Sun, 16 Aug 2009 17:32:51 GMT Added videos to the Tales of Innocence Video and Tales of the Tempest Video sections. http://www.tales-central.com Sun, 16 Aug 2009 00:58:38 GMT Added videos to the Tales of Hearts Video, Tales of Vesperia Video, Tales of Vs.Video, and Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk/Dawn of the New World Video sections. More to come soon ^_^ http://www.tales-central.com Wed, 12 Aug 2009 22:48:43 GMT Added a Tales of Destiny Walkthrough....and weeeeelllllllllllllllI, I *was* working on putting up some more Tales of Vs. pictures (I did get a few up, in the Tales of Vs. Screenshots section).....buuuuuuuuuut I kinda got side-tracked: Phantasian Productions--http://tales-cless.org--released their all-but-final version of their English translation of Tales of Phantasia PSX version. This has been years in the making. Any Tales of Phantasia fans who are interested in playing the most accurate English translation ever released and probably ever WILL be released, should head over there to the site, and check it out. I can't do justice to this wonderful site and group of translators in a little Tales Central update paragraph. The team has been headed up by Cless-san, and they started this translation somewhere near ten years ago, when no one knew much about hacking/translating PSX games. They have gone this entire time as well as they could with staff changes, dealing with time constraints, and technical constraints early on ('cuz heck, no one knew how to do it back then, they taught themselves as they went, early on). Cless and his team have stressed a strict adherence to the original meaning of the game's script, and have demanded perfection. This team is to be applauded and celebrated for producing such a quality work. http://www.tales-central.com/picturegallery/fanarts/fanarts Tue, 11 Aug 2009 09:12:34 GMT Do you have some "Tales of..." fanart(s) that you'd like to show off? Well we want to post fans' "Tales of..." artwork here on Tales Central! Head over to the fanarts section at http://www.tales-central.com/picturegallery/fanarts/fanarts to see how to get your "Tales of..." fanart on the site! Don't be shy--if you've got "Tales of..." artwork, we want to show it off so your fellow fans can see it! http://www.tales-central.com/picturegallery/vspictures/vspictures.html Mon, 10 Aug 2009 23:47:04 GMT Added some Tales of Vs. Pictures http://www.tales-central.com/gracesvideo.html Sat, 08 Aug 2009 18:38:29 GMT Been tellin ya I got some content coming? Well, got a little bit up, in the Tales of Vs Pictures, Tales of Vs General Info, Tales of Vs Video, and Tales of Graces Video sections--check it out. More to come soon! http://www.tales-central.com/picturegallery/vspictures/vspictures.html Sat, 08 Aug 2009 01:38:26 GMT Got up some Tales of Vs. Pictures; more on the way soon. http://www.tales-central.com/picturegallery/vspictures/vspictures.html http://www.tales-central.com Thu, 06 Aug 2009 16:56:45 GMT Tales of Vs. was released in Japan today! Thus, it has been removed from the Upcoming Games section, and put in its place at the Current Series Summary section. Also, updated a Tales of Symphonia Knight of Ratatosk/Dawn of the New World Walkthrough, and added a Tales of Vs Video. http://www.tales-central.com Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:54:22 GMT Finished changing the font on the text inside the little rectangle mini-banners on every page of the website. As always, if you see any errors anywhere, let me know on the Message Board. If you'll notice, on all of the image pages, there is a little vertical menu bar of links on the left side of the page with character names, and the "Other", "Group", and "Screenshot" picture pages. Well, in the interest of allowing users to reach their desired pages quicker, I am considering implementing this strategy to each of the sub-pages like "'Tales' Audio", "'Tales' Walkthroughs" and such pages, except place the menu on the right side, and make each of the entries "Tales of Phantasia", "Tales of Vesperia", and all of the rest of titles. Basically, it would have the same function as the logos on the scrollbars that float horizontally across the screen, but allow users to reach their desired page quicker. However, this may create a longer loading time on each page, so I am not sure. Finally, like I've been saying for a while, some more content is coming soon. And also, don't forget, Tales of Vs. RELEASED TOMORROW IN JAPAN!! http://www.tales-central.com Wed, 05 Aug 2009 00:44:39 GMT Moved last month's updates into the Old Updates section. Heck of a month for Tales Central, eh? Well we're gonna keep it going around here. Anyway, something else worked on today--I'm changing the font on those little rectangle mini-banners atop each page. The font there just wasn't working in my opinion. Some of the pages have now been changed, the rest are what's being worked on now. Other changes/content addition coming soon. And folks, Tales of Vs. gets released TOMORROW! http://www.tales-central.com Mon, 03 Aug 2009 22:56:26 GMT ..Wow. That's got to be in the top five most annoying site-wide updates I've ever had to do. Anyways, the entire site *should* have the new scrollbar format (not to mention cleaner logos) now. Let me know if you find any holes or find any places I missed (via the Message Board at http://www.tales-central.com/messageboard.html ). I know the new scrollbar may not be everyone's favorite--but it might be some others' favorite. Some may like it, some may not. The poll and the discussions I had with people suggest that it was roughly an across-the-board tie, with the scroller options. That having been said, here are our new scrollers--they cut down the time it takes to get to the specific game one wants to go to, whether it be a game released more recently, or some of the older games. Further, if I find out a better scroller sometime down the road, I will be sure and implement it. Also, don't forget to find us on Tales Central's facebook at http://www.facebook.com/talescentral and Tales Central's twitter at http://www.twitter.com/talescentral http://www.tales-central.com/talesvideo.html Mon, 03 Aug 2009 12:58:41 GMT As much as I hate leaving things un-done on the site, I've gone ahead and changed two sections and their pages to have a new scrollbar format. This is semi-final; and you'll also notice the logos have been cleaned up. If you wanna check it out, it's the "Tales" Audio - http://www.tales-central.com/talesaudio.html and "Tales" Video - http://www.tales-central.com/talesvideo.html and "Tales" Games - http://www.tales-central.com/talesgames.html and "Tales" General Info - http://www.tales-central.com/talesgeneralinfo.html and "Tales" Tips, Hints, and Secrets - http://www.tales-central.com/talestipshintsandsecrets.html and "Tales" Cheats and Codes - http://www.tales-central.com/talescheatsandcodes.html pages. The rest of the site will be done soon enough in this format, as well. http://www.tales-central.com/test3.html Fri, 31 Jul 2009 09:54:10 GMT Well everyone, a new scroller has been added to this page: http://tales-central.com/test3.html, so there are now three choices. I'd appreciate it if everyone--whether you're a long-time site visitor or board-member, or, if this is your first time to the site or boards to go here: http://www.tales-central.com/test3.html, figure out which one you like best, then go here http://tales-central.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=188 and vote in the poll. I'd appreciate it. And don't worry--I've still got other stuff to do on the site, I know--no worries. http://www.tales-central.com Mon, 27 Jul 2009 23:45:39 GMT Nothing *too* terribly exciting today--went about sprucing up all of the pages. Removed some out-of-place images/links, fixed some page lengths, text overlap, picture(s), and grammar problems. Just little stuffs, but, still important to address ^_^ . http://www.tales-central.com Sun, 26 Jul 2009 01:02:09 GMT Added new sidebar links to the site's sub-sections, fixed the order in those scrollbar links so that "Tales of Hearts" is in its correct chronological position before "Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2", Tales Central now has a Favorites Icon, and a Tales of Vesperia Walkthrough. http://www.tales-central.com Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:32:37 GMT Edited the format of the Message Board section a little bit (by the way, you need to drop by http://www.tales-central.com/test3.html and then the message board link it gives there and participate). Changed the format of the Further Tales of the Vesperia Info page, considering it'll have another version soon. Updated the Upcoming News page a little. Finished placing "Tales of Vs" and "Tales of Graces" logos on the scrollers at the end of all the sections and gave them their rightful places on the site. http://www.tales-central.com Thu, 23 Jul 2009 23:20:47 GMT Got a new system here at Tales Central. Usually I would only build a new section for a "Tales of..." game when it is finally released, but I don't believe in that anymore ^_^ . I mean, if we're gonna share information and be on the cutting edge here, we've got to have a place for things as they're released, do we not? So I got "Tales of Vs" and "Tales of Graces" links and sub-pages for all the main sub-sections of the site (Video, Walkthroughs, etc.). By the way, if you haven't done it yet, you need to visit this page: http://www.tales-central.com/test3.html. http://www.tales-central.com Wed, 22 Jul 2009 19:28:37 GMT Added FAQs/Walkthroughs to the Tales of Destiny Walkthroughs, Tales of Symphonia Walkthroughs, Tales of Legendia Walkthroughs, Tales of the Abyss Walkthroughs, Tales of Innocence Walkthroughs, Tales of Symphonia Knight of Ratatosk/Dawn of the New World Walkthroughs, and Tales of Vesperia Walkthroughs pages. http://www.tales-central.com Tue, 21 Jul 2009 08:10:15 GMT Added some FAQs/Walkthroughs to the Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2 Walkthroughs, Tales of Destiny 2 Walkthroughs, Tales of Symphonia Walkthroughs, Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 Walkthroughs, Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk/Dawn of the New World Walkthroughs, and Tales of Vesperia Walkthroughs pages. http://www.tales-central.com Sun, 19 Jul 2009 12:04:49 GMT Added links to Tales Central's facebook and twitter accounts (And the Tales Central facebook group is located herehttp://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=104035029373) on every page on the site. Come check us out ^_^ I'd like everyone to go here and add your opinion about Tales Central structure: http://www.tales-central.com/test3.html Added FAQs/Walkthroughs to the following pages: Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2 Walkthroughs, Tales of Destiny 2 Walkthroughs, Tales of Symphonia Walkthroughs, Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 Walkthroughs, and Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 Walkthroughs http://www.tales-central.com Fri, 17 Jul 2009 00:22:48 GMT First off, thanks to our friend Luna from the Tales Central Message Board for the new graphic on the top-left--I'll distribute it to the rest of the site soon. Second, finished up *all* of the Further Info pages, so Tales of the Tempest, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology, Tales of Fandom Vol. 2, Tales of Innocence, Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk/Dawn of the New World, Tales of Vesperia, Tales of Hearts, and Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 are all finished. Additionally, I got pages up for the upcoming games Tales of Graces and Tales of Vs. This brings me to point 3--the Current Series Summary and Upcoming Games pages both got slight format updates, all for the purpose of keeping everyone as informed as possible on both old and new new for the "Tales of..." series. http://www.tales-central.com Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:19:45 GMT Technically it's an hour or so into the morning, so it's July 15th--but I consider this part of July 14th's day of work ^_^ . Finished the Tales of Rebirth, Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3, Tales of Legendia "Further Info" pages today; Tales of the Abyss was already done, but I spruced it up a bit and finished it as well. I am now moving into some "Tales of..." games in which I either lack experience, or are unreleased yet; so any information anyone wants to contribute on the Message Board regarding some of these games would be greatly appreciated ^_^ . http://www.tales-central.com Sun, 12 Jul 2009 22:06:48 GMT As promised, I continued working on the various "Further <Tales of... game> Info" pages today. In addition to the ones listed in my other update from today, I finished Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2, Tales of Destiny 2, Tales of the World: Summoner's Lineage, Tales of Symphonia, and started on Tales of Rebirth. I will be continuing these "Further Info" pages in the near future. http://www.tales-central.com Sun, 12 Jul 2009 11:57:03 GMT Been working on filling in/fixing up various "Tales" General Info sub-sections. I'd encourage you to check out these various "Further Info" sub-pages, and offer any details you would like to offer, especially on some of the blank pages for games that I have not played (such as Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut or Tales of Innocence, etc. etc.). I'll also continue working on the rest of those pages. http://www.tales-central.com Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:32:17 GMT Well, eleven months later, I finished the re-design of Tales Central, extending the new designs to all of the rest of the "Tales" Pictures sections. I will now turn my efforts to two things. First, I will ensure the Message Board is as up-to-date, and cutting-edge (regarding security) as possible. Second, I will make sure the "Tales" General Info section is up-to-date. http://www.tales-central.com Wed, 06 Aug 2008 23:57:48 GMT Got all of the "Tales" Tips, Hints, and Secrets (http://www.tales-central.com/talestipshintsandsecrets.html), and "Tales" Cheats and Codes (http://www.tales-central.com/talescheatsandcodes.html), and "Tales" Walkthroughs (http://www.tales-central.com/taleswalkthroughs.html) sections' sub-pages' framework up, with the content they had prior to the re-design. The only two sections' sub-pages that need to be filled in are the "Tales" Pictures (http://www.tales-central.com/talespicturegallery.html), "Tales" General Info (http://www.tales-central.com/talesgeneralinfo.html). I started on the first couple of pages and sub-pages there (http://www.tales-central.com/phantasiainfo.html and http://www.tales-central.com/destinyinfo.html). These will take a bit longer than some of the others because each page has different content than the other, so I have to take time to re-design each page in a different way, page-to-page, but it's next to finish up. Beyond that, I've still got a little bit of framework design to do, but most importantly and mostly what I am looking forward to: adding more content. http://www.tales-central.com Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:39:28 GMT Got the all of the "Tales" Video (http://www.tales-central.com/talesvideo.html) and "Tales" Games (http://www.tales-central.com/talesgames.html) sub-sections' new designs applied. http://www.tales-central.com Mon, 04 Aug 2008 23:54:43 GMT Well I've been ashamed for a while now at how wrong, error-filled, and slightly behind-the-times my "Tales" General Info (http://www.tales-central.com/talesgeneralinfo.html) section has been for a while now, and I believe I got it all caught up tonight. Obviously there's a change to how that section operates, too. There's now a "Series Summary" (http://www.tales-central.com/seriessummary.html) page, which gives a breakdown of the series game-by-game with logos that are links to further info about each individual game (and some of those are still empty too for right now, unfortunately); an "Upcoming News" (http://www.tales-central.com/upcomingnews.html) page, which gives an at-a-look glance at the newest "Tales of..." game-release developments; and a "Related Games" (http://www.tales-central.com/relatedgames.html) section, which displays games that while not being a part of the "Tales of..." series, have featured "Tales of..." characters. Now that all of the Picture Gallery (http://www.tales-central.com/talespicturegallery.html) sections are in place and my Information (http://www.tales-central.com/talesgeneralinfo.html) is updated, I would like to move on to getting all of the sub-sections--what I call the "meat" of the site--set up with their new design, as well. http://www.tales-central.com Tue, 29 Jul 2008 23:39:27 GMT Got the Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology Pictures, Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk Pictures, Tales of Innocence Pictures, and Tales of Vesperia Pictures sections up how I want them (for now). They may be empty, yes, but they will be filled soon enough, as the logic and framework are now in place. http://www.tales-central.com Mon, 28 Jul 2008 00:06:28 GMT Got the "Tales" Picture Gallery, "Tales" General Info, "Tales" Tips, Hints, and Secrets, "Tales Cheats and Codes", and "Tales Walkthroughs" main sub-sections up with the new site design, tonight. Next on the agenda is to add the new design (that is, a slightly modified version) to each of the internal pages--the meat of the site. Additionally, the "Tales" General Info section has a new design--I'll still be tweaking that one out some more, but check it out for now, anyway. http://www.tales-central.com Sun, 27 Jul 2008 23:57:22 GMT Got the "Tales" Audio (http://www.tales-central.com/talesaudio.html), "Tales" Video (http://www.tales-central.com/talesvideo.html), and "Tales" Games (http://www.tales-central.com/talesgames.html) main sub-sections up with a new design, tonight. http://www.tales-central.com Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:12:48 GMT "Tales Central" is undergoing some changes these days, as you may or may not have noticed. The site, and the boards (located at http://www.tales-central.com/messageboard.html ) will continue to be undergoing different kinds of changes these days, so do not be alarmed if something seems different or....not..there..just chill, there's some revamping going on. If you want to discuss the changes, observe the current board members discussing them, or talk about anything else, I would encourage you to visit the Tales Central Message Board at http://www.tales-central.com/messageboard.html Thanks for stopping by, and long live this wonderful video game series! http://www.tales-central.com Sat, 22 Mar 2008 17:43:58 GMT Moved last month's update to the Old Updates section. Also, I think the bot/spam/porn (and combination of the three) problem(s) might be solved on the Message Board, now. So if you haven't before, now would be a great time to sign up and join the Tales Central community! These will be some interesting times, as Tales Central (both the website and the message board) will be undergoing some changes (albeit perhaps slowly and steadily). http://www.tales-central.com Sat, 19 Jan 2008 17:46:52 GMT January 19th, 2008 -- Updated/Added more to the Tales of Phantasia Walkthroughs, Tales of Symphonia Walkthroughs, Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 Walkthroughs, and Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2 Walkthroughs pages. http://www.tales-central.com Sat, 19 Jan 2008 17:45:44 GMT January 4th, 2008 -- Updated/Added more to the Tales of Destiny 2 Walkthroughs, Tales of Destiny Walkthroughs, Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 Walkthroughs pages. http://www.tales-central.com Sat, 05 Jan 2008 16:54:40 GMT January 5th, 2008 -- Moved last month's updates into the Old Updates section. http://www.tales-central.com Thu, 03 Jan 2008 15:05:19 GMT January 3rd, 2008 -- Updated/Added more to the Tales of Symphonia Walkthroughs, Tales of Phantasia Walkthroughs, Tales of the Tempest Walkthroughs, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology Walkthroughs, and Tales of Fandom Vol. 2 Walkthroughs pages. http://www.tales-central.com Mon, 31 Dec 2007 14:20:19 GMT December 31st, 2007 -- Added some new Tales of Phantasia Walkthroughs and some new Tales of Symphonia Walkthroughs. Happy New Year's Eve, everyone! Don't do anything you'd regret in the future, if you're celebrating tonight. http://www.tales-central.com Sat, 29 Dec 2007 02:08:20 GMT December 28th, 2007 -- Updated "Further Tales of the Abyss Info" page. http://www.tales-central.com Fri, 28 Dec 2007 01:07:13 GMT December 27th, 2007 -- *FANFARE* A new "Tales of..." game has been announced! Therefore, I updated the "Tales" General Info section. More updates should be coming soon here on Tales Central. Updated the Further Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon Info page. http://www.tales-central.com Sun, 23 Dec 2007 23:41:07 GMT Updated various image pages to reflect the various new, and various up-and-coming "Tales of..." games. http://www.tales-central.com Sun, 23 Dec 2007 22:36:12 GMT Added new links to various page regarding the upcoming game in the series, "Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk". http://www.tales-central.com Wed, 19 Dec 2007 21:38:35 GMT This update consisted of my testing an RSS feed's functionality.
