Definitely pre-ordered. Hopefully a good following of individuals buy the game so we can get more tales games in the west.

AsimLeonheart4010d ago

I agree. I have been waiting for this game for years. If this game sells well then we can look forward to ToX2 as well. Please guys, support this game.

Looking forward to this game, i recently bought tales of grace f too. I need JRPG to pick up the slack that FF13 left.

I just wish they hadn't waited this long.

If Namco Bandai was serious about getting sales in the west, they would have pushed for a worldwide release from the start, rather than letting the initial hype die off. There's nothing "safe" about waiting until half your fans have given up hope of ever playing the game and moved on.

Its like their Digimon game for the psp (with the 3DS version coming out later this year) where localisation would easily be profitable.

They play it way too safe with their localisations.

VileAndVicious4010d ago

This has been one of the few games of this year I've been looking forward to.. Can't wait, day one.

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.

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

autobotdan37d ago

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

scorpio_204937d 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

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