Geez namco are really taking their time bringing this over. Xillia 2 was released in japan last december.

jc485734024d ago

you can't blame them entirely for being slow. It must've been hard and long thinking for them to even "consider" releasing this game outside of Japan. And why is that? Well, not enough people buy their jrpgs. We are overloaded with shooters at the moment that people don't even have time to look up what a jrpg is.

sad thruth..
Xillia will be my third Tales Game i became a fan with Tales of Graces F, cant wait day 1

kevinsheeks4024d ago

Right -.- time plays a factor get it out when a nice buzz is going for it -.- that buzz though has kind of passed lol

they should have had it ready along with the announcement it would be coming

Be patient mate. If Xillia got a decent sale than you can hope for Xillia 2. But if not, than say buh-bye for it. That's the rule. Remember it and spread the release date of Xillia to your friend who likes JRPG.

I can't get excited for Xillia anymore when they've already announced the 2nd one. If anything they should've put the 1st & 2nd one on one disc when they decided to bring it over to the West. Tales series is pretty much dead now anyway. Vesperia was one of the worst and Graces was only slightly better so I don't have high hopes for Xillia.

Lolwut

Xillia 2 only released in Asia at the end of last year, they wouldn't be able to bring it across so soon to the West. Also care to back up your claim that Vesperia was one of the worst Tales games? It's a fabulous game.

Inception4024d ago

Vesperia one of the worst Tales and Graces was only slightly better? Lol, i knew that people with that emo crap Dante avatar are never play Tales series. They only pretending they've played / like it.

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.

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

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

autobotdan35d ago

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

scorpio_204935d 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

jznrpg1724d 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
