What's going on with these Tales series. Is it any good for a JRPG? Seems like there's always a new one every year. The only Tales game I've played was Tales of Phantasia on the Plastation.

US is not a language, it's "translated to english"

Tales games are great, big dedicated fanbase in Japan.
I played abyss, symphonia 1&2, destiny and Vesperia. Vesperia is my personal favorite and one of my best JRPGs of all time, great combat leveling collecting music story characters and presentation, Symphonia 1 is also a favorite of many fans.

The same team that made Vesperia is making Xillea, and from what I have seen is shaping up great.

This year we are getting graces, I hope it's great.

Some are better than others but Vesperia was one of the greatest games ive played, def best tales game. It is localised just on 360 though. We need the last story and xenoblade.

The last story and Xenoblabe are not ps3 titles

Tales of xilia isn't even out ..seriously .. or were you guys struggling to make a top 5 ?

Baka-akaB4790d ago

And of all games missing the bleach serie ? With it being a fighting game and it's public already up to date when it comes to the story ?

Capt-FuzzyPants4789d ago

I think The Last Story too but this is just sony isnt it.

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.

RIP, sheade some great designs, man it's one after the other this year

FinalFantasyFanatic39d ago

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

autobotdan40d ago

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

scorpio_204939d 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.”

Kenzan Kiwami Might Never Get A Remake, Says Developer

Yakuza Kenzan might never be remade and released globally. The developer says it's costly and might not stay true to its roots anymore.

SinisterMister564d ago

Such a shame. Kenzan with 2022 tech would've been great. Hopefully something changes down the road.

neutralgamer1992564d ago (Edited 564d ago )

It will happen especially after the success of this remake. Also Yakuza dead souls with today's graphics and technology and update shooter controls would be awesome

Also would y mind some more fist of Northstar games and sequel to binary domain

Melankolis564d ago

As long as in English, just remaster is okay, no urgency for remake/kiwami,

Oh yes. P2 and p3 are horribly outdated and aged bad.

gold_drake639d ago

the only thing that i feel like hasnt aged well, is the slow battles. the rest is fine as is imo

pietro1212639d ago

P3 hasn’t really aged well so I can see a remake

MadLad639d ago

Persona 3 is my favorite in the series. If they wanted to redo it I'd be happy. Just make it, you know, an actual remake.
You're seeing people trying to do low effort for $70 currently.

CrimsonWing69639d ago

Persona 2, more so. I want to see a more serious take on this series. 2 felt less whimsical.
