Scrawl: "After months of fans spamming Namco Bandai’s Facebook page with requests for new Tales games in the western hemisphere, Namco Bandai community manager Rich Bantegui has stepped up and said he’s “taking notes“."
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
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?
It's about damn time.
You know, "taking notes" does not sound anything like, "its going to happen." The utter failure to put Verperia on the PS3 in the West says as much. Screams of past and likely future moves of stupidity.
This is never going to happen due to the favt that Namco hasn't done jack squat in the 2 years listening to ps3 gamers asking for these games. The thing is these games are for a niche market and probably sell less than a 100,000k copies. If Namco wants these titles to sell more they would have to make it multi-plat and let MS do all the marketing.
Tales game didn't sell much on the Wii and that console has a much larger install base than the 360 and ps3. I didn;t make myself clear if Namco make Tales Of Grace fF a multiplat for the ps3 and 360 and let ms pay for the Marketing it will sell more copies in the Western Hemisphere.
