Tales of Xillia 2 is going to be released worldwide in 2014 and to celebrate Tokyo Game Show Namco Bandai released a new trailer of the game.
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.”
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
Lots of great Japanese games have major Japanese rock and pop singers providing the theme songs for them. The Final Fantasy series had Gackt providing "Redemption" for Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus and Hikaru Utada always provides the theme song for each Kingdom Hearts game. But if there is one series that reliably brings out the best singers and songs, it is Bandai Namco's Tales series. It routinely brings the bangers.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has one of the best soundtracks ever and the first Xenoblade Chronicles soundtrack is even better.
Cannot wait! Day one purchase for me. I loved Xillia... At least until then, I'll have GTA V.
Can't wait for this! So glad Tales is coming into the main stream. Hopefully the sales of Xillia, Xillia 2, and ToS HD convince NamcoBandai to bring more of them over seas.
My body is ready for this game.
So many exclusives coming for ps3. Sony always supports their platforms. I am proud to be part of PLAYSTATION nation. :)
Will be getting this. Loved Xillia.
