Why would anyone expect anything out of a PS4 Tales. Despite having one good looking game at the start of the gen, they have progressively gotten uglier and more cheap in thier presentation. It's shocking that Vesperia looks so much better then all the games that followed.
Does it really have to do with the sales worldwide though? Didn't Xillia do better then Vesperia and why would a Japanese centric series have its budget depend on worldwide sales? While Xillia 2 did'nt beat expectations hasn't the series done pretty consistently ok in Japan with Xillia doing very well?
