So, I'm making this giveaway to raise awareness for this game that is in preorder right now on Steam! Please, read the whole description!
For those who don't know, it's part of the "Tales of" series of japanese RPGs. All the games in the series have the same elements, but different stories, characters and worlds (kind of like how all the Final Fantasy are). This is the 15th game on the main series (also, like FF, it has some spin offs), and it's been released for the Playstation 3, and now is being ported to Playstation 4 and PC.
So, it has a preorder system on Steam with tiered rewards that are unlocked as people preorder it, and everyone that preorders the game, no matter at what time, will get the unlocked rewards. The rewards are these:
So, I hope this will raise the interest of the fans of the Tales of series, or JRPGs in general, and even those who are not, but became interested in the game. Maybe we can reach the Reward 3 before the deadline and then everyone who preorders it, including the person who wins this giveaway, will get a free Tales of Symphonia when it's released in 2016! Tales of Zestiria will be released on October, 20th, giving us about 2,5 months to reach it! Besides that, if the sales are good, it might make Namco Bandai bring other Tales of games to PC, or even other JRPGs! :)
I know I still don't have the game myself. I only had the money to buy one copy, and I decided to give it away here first, so my campaign would have more time before the deadline. :P The game is on my wishlist and I'll surely buy it before the deadline (probably next month). The progress is now at 14%. You can see this progress bar on the game page just by scrolling down a little bit. It started really strong, and unlocked the 2 first rewards fast. Now the progress is increasing really slowly... I think most hardcore fans already bought it in the beginning, and it's now up to you all! :P
I know the giveaway will run for a month, and that most of you who become interested will wait for it to finish before preordering, but that's fine. We have the time, and it also gives you guys time to planning the expense. :)
Let's do it!!! :D
WARNING: ONLY PURCHASES OF TALES OF ZESTIRIA ON STEAM COUNT TOWARDS THE PRE-PURCHASE REWARDS
EDIT:
I found this and this. So it seems the prepurchases or purchases up to november will get some DLC for free! But it doesn't say anything on the Steam page yet. Let's keep an eye out for it!
EDIT: I just added a GA for Grandia II Anniversary Edition, take a look!
EDIT: Just purchased the game for myself! :D
EDIT: GA ended, and we've raised the progress bar in 10%. Now you all can preoder it and raise it even more! :D

Sadly my country is in capital control right now so I can't preorder it (I've asked my online foreign friends to get me a couple of bundles I wanted and I will pay them back at some point XD) but I hope it will reach its goal. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
:( Sorry about that. Where are you from? I hope it ends soon.
I had to ask a friend for a favour too, as the game would be locked if I purchased it on my region... ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Greece. I was at least relieved that the capital control came after steam's summer sale ended... >>

Tomb Raider (2013) and a few other games had it. Tomb Raider was one of the worst examples, because some of the content (challenge tombs) had to be unlocked with pre-order tiers. Fortunately it was a good game, but I was pretty disgusted at the time. I love the tales series, so hopefully this is a decent port. Thanks for the giveaway :)

I think there was some Early Access game that did that, but I can't remember its title.
Comment has been collapsed.
Many games did it already. One of the first I remember were Resident Evil 6 and Bioshock Infinite.

I just remembered; it wasn't an Early Access game, but Company of Heroes 2.

Interesting, but not for the current price (although I don't know the series, so maybe I'm making a big mistake here) :)
Thanks for spreading awareness and for the game to win!

great ga ty, and good luck reaching the max bonus, as its all ways nice to get something worthwhile for preordering, not some stupid dlc or skin.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the GA. I've planned to wait for a few more weeks before I'm going to pre-order the game, hoping that the 3rd pre-order bonus will be unlocked by then ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I know it's supposed to be a bonus, meaning that the person that buys the game would do it without the rewards anyway, but it sure is a good addition, isn't it?
And I think if the progress is almost at the end, it'll make those who are in doubt to push it to completion. :P
