IGN - Reaffirming your love of JRPGs.
Today it was announced that the gaming and anime industry has lost another beloved artist and creator. Mutsumi Inomata has passed away.
The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.
Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(
I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”
There's a surprising amount of overlap between Marvel's Mad Titan and a lesser-known Tales villains -- but which is the better baddie?
The Tales games may be less recognizable than the Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy games, but that doesn't mean that they aren't worth playing!
“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

this is my most anticipated game of 2013, except maybe vs 13 hopefully.
I always loved the fact that the tales series gives fans what we want instead of drastically changing the series with every iteration.
Next year, in terms of ps3 jrpg we got ni no kuni, tales of xillia (hope xillia 2 too), the witch and 1000 army, kamipara (from disgaea team), tokitowa / time and eternity, FF X HD (hopefully), FF versus (if this game still alive), KH HD 1.5, neptune v, atelier totori, and more. Also, i hope atlus will give us a lot of info about persona 5 ^^
Damn, Japan is getting Xillia 2 before we even get the 1st.. I cant complain tho cuz im grateful to be getting it at all.. Day 1 buy for me & hopefully others do too so they bring over pt 2..
