Scrawl: "Tales still isn’t here. It’s flourishing over there in Japan, though. Namco Bandai has still yet to announce any sort of localization for the franchise in the western hemisphere. Not even after our last article. But then again, we’re probably not important enough to change their minds."
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.”
Immersed Gamer writes: "Let Me Solo Her is a legendary Elden Ring player who mastered one of the most infamous bosses to help his fellow tarnished via co-op. And for his service, he received an award from Namco Bandai to commemorate his 1,000th victory. The reward in question is a real, and extremely dope, custom-made sword.
Malenia is regarded as the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the relentless Tarnished has defended literally thousands of hosts against this malice. Let Me Solo Her apparently passed 2,000 Malenia kills a while back, but it’s hard to measure the exact count he is at now. Bandai Namco sent the gift his way when he was at around 1,000 kills. But due to the nature of the object, it got stuck in customs for a while!"
Nice to see an healthy online behavior to be recognize by the dev teams.
But man.... How many hours did he spent playing Elden Ring? Not sure it's that healthy in real life 😂
But still kuddo to him :)
There's a surprising amount of overlap between Marvel's Mad Titan and a lesser-known Tales villains -- but which is the better baddie?
Namco seriously needs to bring us these games.
The author of this piece should email Namco Bandai this article. We need to be sure they are aware that we gamers in the west are interested in the Tales franchise. Heck, if English-text only is acceptable, there really isn't any excuse to not bring it over. If a small team of gamers can sub the entirety of Graces on their own budget, I'm sure Namco Bandai can afford to do it too.
Edit - Yo phantom disagree'er, why don't you grow a pair and enlighten me?
Namco... they keep on bringing big budget 'western focused' games with ZERO marketing. Horrible way to PUBLISH a game. These games already made their game, just release them with your usual 'no marketing' and have them sell about 100k. That should pay off the translation and release and put extra cash in your pockets, unlike Enslaved and Splatter House, which probably made you lose money.
One word NamcoBandai: Please.
The point is there western games are terrible both as games and with sales
All we want from namco are there fighting games and rpgs. Thats basically it
