With the impending release of Tales of Xillia, that will finally reach the western shores on August the 6th in the US and August the 9th in Europe, Namco Bandai released a “15th anniversary” video showcasing the history of the Tales series.
Too bad that the 15th anniversary of the series happened almost three years ago.
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.
We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.
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.”
It’s that time of year, again–the fire is roasting, the bells are ringing, and the turkey is cooking in the oven. Here are some festive video game covers to add to your holiday playlists.
Long live the Tales of Games! Congrats Baba.
Never played anything but Tales of Vesperia. It was a pretty good game imho.
It's only fitting that they celebrate 3 years late because they usually take more than 3 years to do a localization. Indeed the only other option would be to not have the party at all and blame westerners for not liking cake.
The Tales of series definitely deserves this, it's one of the best JRPGs ever created!
