First Tales of Eternia image

[09.12.99] » The new Tales game may shed the series' hand-drawn backgrounds.

   Namco released the first screen shot of its just-announced RPG Tales of Eternia, as well as the game's logo. Though the screenshot is rather small, it appears that the series may be making a transition into 3-D or pre-rendered backgrounds (all the previous Tales featured fully hand-drawn graphics). Until larger screens are released, however, such theories remain mere speculation.
