Pretty awesome trailer. The wait for this game is starting to get painful. I know it'll be that way for GTA V as well when that starts closing in lol.

Just got into this series's. playing Tales of Grace F. Very impressed so far

Xof3918d ago

Oh, ho. Wow.

If Graces F impressed you, you're in for a real treat.

And you should seriously consider going back and playing some of the older games if you can, though I think Tales of the Abyss is the only older title that's easily playable these days.

Snookies123918d ago

What's "wow" for? Graces f was great. I've played the older Tales games as well... Though, I do agree that Abyss is the most accessible to go back to and play. If you haven't played the older ones yet.

VileAndVicious3918d ago

Ive had Graces f for a whille now....and I have to say, for some reason it REALLY reminds me of star ocean lol. Still a good game but I cant be the only one who thinks this can I? lol

Really looking forward to Xillia, tuesday cant come fast enough.

Xof3918d ago

One superior sequel that's -already- been announced for localization.

I mean, damn, NB, I'm so used to hating you and everything you do I just don't know how to react when you do nice things.

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.

Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.

We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.

autobotdan37d ago

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

scorpio_204937d 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.”

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

3. Dragon Quest - 78M
4. Monster Hunter - 52M
