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.

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?🤔

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

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.

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

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.

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).

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

How to get into Japanese rock and pop by listening to Tales series music

Mariye|1908d ago |Article|1|

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.
