Yay for Xillia this summer! That's a day one pre-order for me, no doubt.

Hanso4043d ago

me too! Will be my 3 tales game cant wait
FF was my fav jrpg series but not anymore :)
After Graces F im officially a tales of fan

Snookies124043d ago (Edited 4043d ago )

Same here, Graces F turned me into a Tales fan, I'd never really given the other games a chance until that one. Definitely like the Tales series better than FF these days as well. (Despite the fact that I hailed Final Fantasy as my favorite series ever last generation.) They just can't seem to produce the same quality of work these days.

@Snookies12 and @Hanso graces f was also my first tales game as well and i am currently playing through vesperia at the moment and i am planning on picking abyss for the 3DS soon along with fire emblem and tales is right up there with persona for my favorite JRPG series

Number-Nine4043d ago

do the tales game connect to each other or are they all separate (ie final fantasy)

CrescentFang4043d ago

They have nothing to do with each other. Except for obvious ones like Xillia and Xillia 2

animegamingnerd4043d ago

no it just like final fantasy on how each game is a different world with a different cast of characters but a couple tales games like xilla and symphony have gotten a sequel

SOD_Delta4043d ago

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.

Snookies1229d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.

H928d ago

RIP, sheade some great designs, man it's one after the other this year

FinalFantasyFanatic27d ago

We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.

autobotdan28d ago

Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(

scorpio_204928d ago

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.”

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

jznrpg1717d ago

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

“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
