MeriStation: "It really took its time to arrive on Western shores, but at last we have Tales of Xillia, a good example of the essence of true Japanese RPG. With two characters, a deep and customizable battle system, many options and strategies, the visual scale of the scenarios is as good as the new character's Tales of style, more realistic. Sure its not perfect -Motoi Sakuraba is not at his best precisely, Pop up in some elements around the towns, rough ending-, but its enough entertainment. Now, its time to ask Namco about Tales of Xillia 2."
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.”
