IGN: "The latest entry to make its way westward is Tales of Xillia. Set across two worlds - one of spirits, one of technology – it follows Milla Maxwell and Jude Mathis as they cross realms and strive to save both from destruction. The Japanese release was timed to celebrate Tales’ 15th Anniversary, and was intended to be a landmark work for the series. “This was a big challenge for the teams,” Hideo Baba, Producer of the Tales series, told me. 'We wanted to release something big.'"
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.”
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!
“Tales series is considered one of the top three Japanese RPG series next to RPG giants like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.”
