Keillan from postitgamer.com takes a look at the last entry into the Tales series, Tales of Xillia and explains why it should be on the radar for fans of the JRPG genre.
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
Geez namco are really taking their time bringing this over. Xillia 2 was released in japan last december.
jrpgs always on the playstation platforms. dont get an xbox if u want the most jrpgs. get a ps4
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.
