Will Xillia get a release outside Japan?

Tales of Phantasia (Localized)
Tales of Destiny (Localized)
Tales of Eternia (Localized)
Tales of Destiny 2 (Japan-only)
Tales of Symphonia (Localized)
Tales of Rebirth (Japan-only)
Tales of Legendia (Localized)
Tales of Abyss (Localized)
Tales of Innocence (Japan-only)
Tales of Vesperia (Localized)
Tales of Hearts (Japan-only)
Tales of Graces (Localized)
Tales of Xillia (TBA)

8 out of 13 is far from bad, and no where poor enough to warrant the amount of bitching Tales fans like to do.

Post by: choco parfait on June 02, 2012, 12:32:07 AM: And what about Tempest? The Narikiri Dungeons? Radiant Mythologies? etc?

And also, the problem lies more with how inconsistent Namco is, rather than any actual track record they seem to have. If people could always expect that a mainline Tales would get localized, there wouldn't be any complaints. It's the fact that everyone has to bite their nails waiting until Namco gives the sign before each title is why the fanbase is like they are.

Post by: Bebpo on June 02, 2012, 08:24:06 AM: Looks like they saw FFXIII-2's plan and copied. Heavy asset re-use, more "gameplay" orientated with a bit of western rpg systems infused, crappy graphics.

Like XIII-2, will probably be better than the original.

Ping pong!

But I really liked Xillia so I guess I'm okay with it. :-\

Did Xillia even sell significantly more than Vesperia or other recent mothership Tales games? Or is it because it's the most recent one, so they decided to capitalize on it?

it probably will, like 2 years later. How many years did it take for graces to come?

Both. Game sold amazingly well, and they probably did this because it was the most recent.

I agree, graces is awesome

Post by: cool breeze on June 02, 2012, 01:29:45 PM: I like the style. Reminds me of fullmetal alchemist and that animu take on late 19th/early 20th century.
Title: Re: new tales of reveal in 15 hours
Post by: Rahxephon91 on June 02, 2012, 05:20:55 PM: I'm liking the look. It dosen't look like typical anime fantasy that the Tales games have been pushing. Though if it is like XIII-2 beyond just re-using assets and also lacks a full party, I won't be very interested.

Plus purple-pink-magenta-y logo and if you squint "Xillia 2" basically looks like "XIII 2"

I mean, I think the series is trash, and the fans are creepy as fuck, but if we're just talking about the likelihood of any given Tales getting translated, the odds aren't in favour of it. Especially since Graces f and Abyss most likely fell short of Namco's expectations.

Don't know about Graces but wasn't Abyss 3DS like impossible to find after awhile? I know it was sold out on Amazon and I saw a lot of complaining from people trying to find it in stores. Hell, even Play Asia was sold out of it, forcing me to go to Akihabara (and when I went back to the store a few weeks later, it was history there as well).
Title: Re: new tales of reveal in 15 hours
Post by: Mr. Gundam on June 03, 2012, 10:04:35 PM: Graces f is still widely available. Even had a price drop.

I can't unsee it.
