Hardcore Gamer: Tales series producer Hideo Baba will make his first North American apperance to talk with fans about Xillia. Voice actors from the English version will also be in attendance. The kicker? Dress as a Tales character and get a picture with Baba.
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
hopefully we get a release date soon
Since placing more faith in Tales games (over FF and Squenix essentially), I really hope we get a date for this.
Japanese Voices or GTFO NAMCO!
thx bye.
Baba so needs to release Innonence R and Hearts R for Vita in NA!
I really want this game already! Japan already has its sequel & we're still waiting for a bone to be tossed our way.. Better late than never i suppose & i hope all western fans of the series buys it day 1 so they can start localizing ALL of the tales games we didnt get.. Including Vesperia on PS3 & innocence r/ hearts r on vita.. Hell, all the tales games would do nicely on vita.. Im sure it can handle them
