PSV Tales of Hearts R - Import Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
    Hisui Hearts and his sister Kohak are running along in the rain with urgency when they fall down an embankment. The two watch the lightning in the distance when they're approached by a shrouded female stranger with a deep voice. The shrouded figure proceeds to launch a ball of energy at the siblings which sends them over a cliff and into the rapids below. From this inauspicious beginning, the latest Tales game kicks off.

    Players adopt the role of a feathery-haired hero named Shing Meteoryte who befriends the Hearts siblings when he finds them washed ashore on a beach near his home. When Shing first spots them, he comments that Kohak is attractive and proceeds to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. His heroic effort is met with a punch in the face when Kohak revives herself and finds Shing's actions (maybe it was his pursed lips) disagreeable.

    Originally released on the Nintendo DS in December 2008 on two separate game cards, Namco Bandai upgrades the game with visual polish and includes a DLC code for a 2D action-RPG titled, 'Tales of Hearts R Infinite Evolved' in the first printing of the game. Reservations are welcome to ship on March 7, 2013.
