EH. Extra effort, some people are just too lazy to try and read a separate script. So have you played most of the other Tales games?

I am unsure. no date has been released juuust yet but they should peg down a date soon enough. The assumption (and I could be wrong?) is at the latest after the 3rd comic set comes out. Trust me though, I'm sure the internet will begin screaming about it once the date is up, and if not then the DA cast certainly will. :)
