I thought tales was a big franchise. what happened?

KingofGambling2616d ago

Big in japan and decent in the west.

Relientk772616d ago

I picked it up day one. A great Tales game, and a wonderful cast as always

DedicatedDark2616d ago (Edited 2616d ago )

It also sold 71k on PC. So that totals it upto roughly 193k, so its atleast more than half of japanese sales. I think that's pretty good for a game with anime aesthetics.

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.

autobotdan43d ago

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

scorpio_204943d 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.”

My first thought was the safe rooms in the resident evil series. When you hear that enchanting music you know you’re safe.

Killer2020UK276d ago

I literally just came here to post this. That music in the Resi 1 safe rooms is playing in my head.

Rimeskeem276d ago

I was thinking TLOU work benches. Although I remember one time where it was a false security.

Perfect. 👌👌

I'd add the top of my highrise apartment in GTA Online. That calm, quiet peace, just knowing as soon as I step out that door I will be bombarded by 8 and 12 year olds calling each other n**** and f****, trolled by combat jets and rocket launchers.

The entire map of SotC is peaceful as hell. Used to just ride around exploring it.

mastershredder276d ago (Edited 276d ago )

Afterlife in Cyberpunk 2077 is a peaceful area? Erm, hands down and very hard to miss, Misty Olszewski's Esoterica is the absolute epitome of peaceful areas in that game.

raiden_188276d ago

The "last of us" deer location i found to be a welcoming respite. It was nice to not have someone trying to eat me.

RPGer275d ago

Kingdom Hearts tend to present half peaceful areas and most of them are amazing.

Why Do Birds Fly? The Moral Philosophy of Tales of Berseria

This strange sentence is not an excerpt from a book on falconry. Nor is it a question from a biology exam or a promo for the Philadelphia Eagles. It’s from the 2016 Bandai Namco RPG Tales of Berseria.
.
The game’s primary antagonist, Artorius Collbrande, uses this question as a means of evaluating people’s moral principles. But how does a basic question about the biology of birds tell us anything about someone’s morality?
