New screenshots for Tales of Destiny II for PSP

We have exciting news for fans of the Tales series of games for various systems. Namco’s Tales of Destiny II for the PS2 is getting ported over to the PSP.

Set to be released in Japan by on February 15, 2007, the game will also retail for Â¥ 5040, or about US$ 44. Unfortunately, there is still no news regarding the game’s availability in North America or Europe, though we’re expecting for a translation to eventually come along, considering the title’s popularity.

For those not familiar with the original PS2 version, the story begins 1000 years before Tales of Destiny I, when a comet collided with the planet and caused an ice age. The survivors who wanted nothing more than the light of the sun, created the Lens, an energy source which was found in the remains of the comet, and used this to create the floating city of Dycroft. The residents of the flying city eventually came to dominate the land-dwellers as they created the weapon Belcrant, and the war between Heaven and Earth began.

The creators of Belcrant sided with the land-dwellers and made lens weapons known as Swordians (sentient swords) to counter Belcrant. The Swordian Masters eventually defeated the people of the floating city and sunk Dycroft into the ocean. The Swordians lay dormant for centuries after that. However, trouble brews once again as Dycroft’s supposedly dead ruler makes a comeback armed with an enormous lens known as the Eye of Atamoni. And with that, the Swordians are rediscovered and reawakened to prevent the resurrection of Dycroft and restore peace in the land.

So, for new and old fans, here’s some screenshots for now, and if you want to know more details about the game’s battle system and story, just head on over to the official site, but just remember to bring someone who can read Japanese.

More screenshots after the jump!
