.
PS:

If I'm not mistaken, this is the 4th related Tales English game news from Bandai Namco Games ever since the first (the announcement of "Graces f" in English).

Bandai Namco Games sure took their time for divulging further "Graces f" / other Tales games news......... : /

The platform, the voice actors, the release date, etc.

nilamo4762d ago

This game is impossible to find in retail here in Europe. So this is good news, I still prefer to have a hard copy but I guess this is a good alternative.

SuperSaiyan44762d ago

theres hard copies on there...

nilamo4762d ago

yeah for 80-100 euros lol

Scyrus4762d ago

I gave my fiance a sealed collectors edition of this game when it released. got it for free. she never even opened it, not cause shes a collector but beccause shes to lazy to unhook her ps3 to play her 360 lol

Scyrus4762d ago

how can u disagree with that? lol. just sayin what happened.

its a good thing tho because i already have another open collectors also that i played so hers is a good backup that we can sell!

montyburns0004762d ago

great RPG, too bad you missed out on on the PS3 version

TheMutator4762d ago

im still waiting the ps3 version , anyway i have the xbox version but feels rushed

militant074762d ago

It doesn't feel rushed at all!!!

it has been more thant 2 years and a half since the release of 360 version and more than 1 year and a half since the ps3 jap release

Dread4762d ago (Edited 4762d ago )

yea it was much better to wait for more than a year to get your sony playstation port in japan.

much better. You sony kids are so lucky. I had such a horrible time playing the game in my 360 more than a year before it was ported. I wish I was lucky enough like all you sony fanboys who have to wait for their ports and play it then . I know it would have been much more fun to wait for so long.

initial_kay4762d ago

ok we get it.. ur a xbox fnboy....sheesh.

BK-2014762d ago

At least we get like 3 exclusive tales games now.

montyburns0004762d ago

"At least we get like 3 exclusive tales games now."

unless we have both systems...

lol. see, we can act like little sniveling brats too.

Dread4762d ago

FYI

I own both systems and I do not suck any company's dingdong. I am a gamer first.
However, I cannot stand stupid fanboys and will call them out everytime, just like I did here

I know I was being sarcastic and critical of his statement but he deserved it.

peace

This is definitely the rarest 360 game here in Europe. It goes for a small fortune on Ebay & Amazon. A lot of euro gamers will be happy about this.

GameOn4762d ago

I'm not sure how I feel about it. On one hand it will get more people to play this brilliant game, but on the other, I don't see it having a positive effect on the value of my sealed copy. Oh well, I guess it wall always have sentimental value.

slayereddy400d ago (Edited 400d ago )

Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.

I really enjoyed this article, it was a good read. This quote gave me a chuckle, because it's true!:

"Pretty much every JRPG involves the player’s characters going from barely being able to lift a sword to killing God"

indysurfn1385d ago

LOL...exaggeration but I get your just making a point. No one can Kill God. Don't drink Satan's cool-aide he is just trying to recruit you (backwards recruit)

Tross1385d ago

He probably only has the grape kind anyways. All the folk up in heaven surely hog all the good flavours.

BrainSyphoned1385d ago

Final Fantasy 15 the ultimate delayed game with delayed story dlc shoveled in at the last second. Doesn’t ring the gratifying bell when I see that stupid car at all. Article+thumbnail is like describing a 5star meal while watching your cat clean its backside.

More specifically I would say JRPGs are progressive gratification. Basically like listening to prog music vs anything else which imo is the best. Even if a JRPG is all about the journey, generally speaking JRPGs keep getting better as opposed to other games which usually have their high points come in either too soon, or the best parts just aren't nearly as impactful.

indysurfn1385d ago

Also don't forget the direct comparison that the old Square Enix president made. He said Western players like TWITCH games and eastern players love Cerebral games. Now it was taken as a racist slam. But he meant it as one of the reasons outside of development time and cost return on investment(ROI). But he had a true point people here are TRAINED to like instant stuff. And people there are trained to like delayed over the top stuff. It is not a intelligence slam. I'm glad I LOVE the later gratification! Because it is way better!

iofhua21385d ago

I like JRPG's for the big anime tiddies.

indysurfn1384d ago

lol.....I stand corrected!

I’ve been hooked on the series ever since playing Tales of Xillia

jznrpg1721d ago

I hope they remaster or port a lot of the older games of the series to PS4/PS5

Immagaiden1721d ago

“Tales series is considered one of the top three Japanese RPG series next to RPG giants like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.”

How you gonna talk about the top three JRPG franchises and not mention Pokémon, the top selling series in the genre?

This is how the top JRPG series stack up

1. Pokémon - 340M
2. Final Fantasy - 144M
3. Dragon Quest - 78M
4. Monster Hunter - 52M
5. Kingdom Hearts - 30M
6. Souls - 25M
7. Tales of - 20M
