Or something else, like an alternative story (like Vesperia OVA).
I'm asking this because I'm planning to get the game and don't want to spoil myself. I also read this comes with the game on the disk itself. So I'm not sure if I should watch this or not.

It covers a bit of the start of the game pretty sure.

Hmm, I'l probably wait for the game then. A Western release is expect in Q2, so not that big of a wait.

Is it? So it leads straight into the game? (I know it's hard to answer since no one played it yet, but I just don't want to spoil myself on things such as character introductions since those are some of the best moments in Tales games)

After watching this, and having played many Tales games before, I'm 90% sure this special covers the first hour of the game.

From trailers and bits of scenes from the game that I saw. This is the beginning of the game events. You'd be doing all these events shown in this specials.

It shows why Sorey began his journey, why wouldn't this be in the game? That would be like Tales of Symphonia starting when Lloyd is leaving Iselia, lol. This will definitively be in the game.

Luberia will appear that fast? OMG didnt know about that.. but yah that part we will see in the game cause the end was the first game cutscene that we can see in the trailer..

It seems to be a prequel to the game.

I mean... not only that part but the whole thing will be in game so this isn't a prequel, It's probably the first hour of the game. My point was that It's completely stupid and incoherent for Namco to assume everybody will watch the OVA and skip why Sorey began his journey on the game.

That's exactly what I'm saying, what was shown in the ova will be in the game. You were calling It a prequel to the game, this means It contains events that happen BEFORE the events in the game which doesn't seem to be the case, It shows events that will appear in the game, which means It isn't a prequel.

Uh, why wouldn't it? Even if you planned on playing the game this is only the first hour or so of the game, not really spoilers, probably appreciate it more if you played the game but I thought it was nice for what it was.

Not really? It was a "our adventure starts now" sort of ending.

Ah, thanks!
That's still a lot better than having a cliff-hanger ending.
