Report: Tales series at the Japan Expo

Gema: "Namco Bandai held a Tales series presentation at the Japan Expo in Paris today, highlighted by three titles, two of which are confirmed for western release."

So since this event was in Paris and they showed Tales of Xillia then I guess Namco are at least considering and planning a Europe release

Xof4700d ago

I sure hope so. Graces f is getting released outside of Japan, but to be perfectly honest, Xilia looks much, much better. I really hope it leaves Japan.

DNAbro4700d ago

well xillia is being made specifically for the ps3. Graces was remade from the wii version.

Still can't wait for graces. :D

Xof4700d ago

Well, yeah... but I didn't mean that it literally looks better. More that the content--story premise, characters, art design--looks far more appealing to me.

Visually, the level of detail with Graces f is only slightly less than that of Vesperia. It looks good, even if the art design is... pretty meh.

Lavalamp4700d ago

They showed Xillia!? You be teasin', Namco.

Optical_Matrix4700d ago

Namco are bringing it HARD at Japan Expo. One Piece for 3DS announced for Europe for November And a November 10th release date for Tales of Abyss 3DS? Good lord. This is better than E3 lol Keep em coming Namco. The fact they teased Xillia is a good sign too.

Infernostew4700d ago

Wait.. Abyss 3DS is being released in November?!?! Wow.. they picked a really congested month... bad idea like always.

Optical_Matrix4700d ago

Yup >.< Same month as Witcher 2 360, MGS Collection, Uncharted 3, Skyrim, Call of Duty MW3 and probably Mario Kart or Super Mario

Redempteur4700d ago

"Baba asked the crowd if they’d like to see the game release in Europe, which was followed up by enthusiastic cheers from the attendance."

no wonder ...

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

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.

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.

Snookies1255d ago (Edited 55d ago )

Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.

H955d ago

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

FinalFantasyFanatic54d ago

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

autobotdan55d ago

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

scorpio_204955d 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.”

"Let Me Solo Her" Receives A Special Award From Namco Bandai For His 1000th Victory Against Malenia

Immersed Gamer writes: "Let Me Solo Her is a legendary Elden Ring player who mastered one of the most infamous bosses to help his fellow tarnished via co-op. And for his service, he received an award from Namco Bandai to commemorate his 1,000th victory. The reward in question is a real, and extremely dope, custom-made sword.

Malenia is regarded as the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the relentless Tarnished has defended literally thousands of hosts against this malice. Let Me Solo Her apparently passed 2,000 Malenia kills a while back, but it’s hard to measure the exact count he is at now. Bandai Namco sent the gift his way when he was at around 1,000 kills. But due to the nature of the object, it got stuck in customs for a while!"
