The Tales series has gained quite a following over the years, delivering a dynamic fighting scheme to its battles, lovable characters, and well written stories. Now the latest game in the series has made its way to North American and European audiences after enjoying success after its initial 2011 release in Japan. Tales of Xillia, the thirteenth title in the overall series, suffers no bad luck as it delivers a terrific game, bolstered by a deep, rewarding story and two strong protagonists, highlighted by a delightful musical score and beautiful anime-style graphics. The sequel has already been released in Japan in 2012, and the rest of the world will be able to play the game in 2014. If its follow-up is as good as this game, that will be something to look forward to. In the meantime, we have Tales of Xillia to grace our PS3, and there’s plenty of game to keep you busy for some time.
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.
We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.
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.”
