New characters revealed in Tales of the Tempest
There have been many a Tales game and the latest is as anxiously awaited as any other. As such, Famitsu recently revealed two new characters in the game that had yet to be introduced to the game-awaiting public at large. The first character revealed is Romi, a cleric tagging along with Lukius, she is of strong mind and does anything to get what she wants.The other character is Albert Mueller, the leader of the Order of the Black Knights.
