I loved tales of Vesperia, i dont know how IGN gave Vesperia an 8.2 but FF13 an 8.9.

Vesperia to me is at least a 9.0

Hicken4309d ago

What does FF have to do with this? Vesperia is hardly relevant, so a game from another franchise is DEFINITELY off-topic, and yet...

Oh, wait. It's Ranma. Nevermind.

Damn, I'm falling behind. Still haven't finished Abyss or Graces, though I know I'm close to the end of Abyss. Gotta get my hands on a 360 to play Vesperia. And already Xillia is coming? Got some work to do.

"I loved tales of Vesperia, i dont know how IGN gave Vesperia an 8.2 but FF13 an 8.9.

Is it possible that different people may have different opinions concerning a videogame?

ign get fools to review games & are sometimes biased.. Some companies send them a copy 30 days early & they get so pumped n praise them for it & some do it normally & have someone who doesnt like that genre do the review

I think Tales of graces F already did that. It sold over 300k in the states which was unexpectedly great for Namco Bandai.

No. It didn't chart anywhere near those numbers.

@Lavalamp1138 - If I didn't, that's a real shame... Best RPG I've played in years and it deserves great sales unlike a few really high profile games out there I won't mention.

Yup... best news all day. I'm ready for a good JRPG. Along with Ragnarok Odyssey, Ni No Kuni and New Little King's Story I should be set for a while.

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.

autobotdan36d ago

Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(

scorpio_204936d ago

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.”

R.I.P. Side note but why are there multiple comments calling her a man. Did I miss something?🤔

TheColbertinator36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

What a loss. Tales of Graces and Berseria had some terrific character design

Unknown_Gamer579436d ago

Damn, and not long after Akira Toriyama’s passing. RIP to two legends.

franwex36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

That’s unfortunate. Really liked Maxwells’s design from tales of xillia.

VincentVanBro36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Jeez first Yoshitaka Murayama died in Feb, then Akira Toriyama in early March, and now Mitsumi Inomata. Surely we're done with the depressing news for the rest of 2024, don't know if I can take any more.

Edit: shit I forgot about Yuji Nunokawa in December. Enough already!!! Those peoples' work combined is like my entire childhood!

Two great talented and memorable people are gone now. I always loved her style Xillia and Berseria are two of my favorite Tales games next to Arise. And Akira Toriyama passing is another great talent we have lost.

jznrpg36d ago

I love the Tales of series. Really sad for her passing. Thank You for your beautiful art ! RIP Mutsumi Inomata.

Asterphoenix35d ago

We lost too many good creators this year. I loved her art especially in Destiny and Berseria. R.I.P Inomata :(

DarXyde35d ago

When it rains, it pours. As the loss of Toriyama is still fresh, now Inomata.

She was a damn good designer with a very distinct style that really goes beyond Tales and had been involved with many projects over her career. The cause of death is unknown at this time, but it is not uncommon for people to pass when they lose someone important in their lives. I have to wonder how Toriyama-san's passing affected her. The creative community in Japan seems very inspired by each other, noted most recently by the Dragonball tributes.

May she rest well.

BlaqMagiq135d ago

R.I.P. to a legendary artist

FinalFantasyFanatic35d ago

Wow, she's actually worked on a lot of things I enjoyed (Gundam, City Hunter, Urusei Yatsura, The Tales Of games, etc...), her art is also really beautiful and unique (like a shoujo manga).

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!

I’ve been hooked on the series ever since playing Tales of Xillia

I hope they remaster or port a lot of the older games of the series to PS4/PS5

“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
