Namco is getting set to answer that age-old question: which is better, CG or anime? In Japan, Tales series fans will get to make their choice by buying one of two versions of Tales of Hearts.
The upcoming DS entry in the series will be released in two forms. One form will have anime movies as produced by Production I.G. The other form will have CG movies as produced by Shirogumi.
Aside from the changes to the movies, the in-game content will be exactly the same.
You can get a glimpse at the changes for yourself by browsing the Tales of Hearts website. When opening up the site, you'll have to select between a preference for either the anime or CG version. The artwork on the site changes accordingly.
Both versions of Tales of Hearts will hit Japan in December. Outside of Japan, Namco has yet to announce its plans for the title. We'll have to wait and see if we'll be given a similar choice, or if we'll have one particular animation style forced on us.
