Title: Tales games are designed for girls
Post by: Ichirou on August 22, 2007, 03:08:19 AM

I did not know this until a few weeks back, but apparently the biggest audiences for these games in Japan are teenage girls.  They love the cutesy character designs, angsty stories, and the skits that give each character more personality.

The more you know!

whoever told you this was lying, tales of the abyss is a very manly man game and if you disagree you're gay. :maf

I was told this by Japanese high school students who are also huge Tales fangirls.  One of them really likes Asch (sp?) from Abyss.

Wish there were some (cute, of course) girls over here in America who were into the Tales series...

I'm sure they're out there, but they're probably mentally unbalanced freaks who dress-up as their favorite male characters for animu conventions.  Whereas in Japan, they're just normal HS kids.  It's a whole different gaming culture.
