Yeah, not sure how people like the Tales Of series. I love Symphonia, that's about it. However more RPG goodness on the way is always nice.

You play one you play them all.

Tales seems to be wanting to blur the line between ****ty RPG and ****ty anime.

True.

But I'd still like to see a really good Tales game. Underneath the trappings Mora addressed, lie some fairly decent gameplay mechanics. More than likely, I'll ignore it like I have the last 5 Tales games. They're pumping so many of these out it's hard not to question their quality.

Other than Tales of Destiny, I don't see why everyone ejaculates over this series. Played the Tales of Vesperia demo and found the combat annoyingly structured and dull.

The SFX get annoying too.

HRAH HOO HRAH HOO FLYING TIGER STRIKE.

It wasn't until I beat the game did I realize I could turn the voices off. I pooped a lot after that.

I read the topic title as "New Mother titled game coming to the Wii" and nearly exploded with happiness.

Thanks for getting this man's hopes up and ruining his Christmas.

You guys are all SO wrong. The Tales Series is all about making RPGs fun. They often succeed tremendously at this, and it's up to you whether or not you like that they don't take themselves particularly seriously.

Not sure I really like the look of this one so far, though. That doesn't look like good dungeon design, as far as gameplay goes.

It's a bummer that they keep spreading the franchise across different consoles; it's part of what's making my decision so hard.

RPGs... fun?

The Tales of the Abyss is the only one I really have liked. The others just have too boring characters or annoying female leads and half-baked romances.

Plus they end up falling into the same "save the world" from some non-descript evil. I still need to finish Tales of Vesperia.

Really, Symphonia's antagonist was some nondescript evil?

I think most of the characters in the series are very interesting, even the ones that are relatively cliche. Agreed that TotA probably had the best ones though, there wasn't a single dud in that cast.

I thought the same with Tales of Destiny... then Tales of Destiny 2 (er, Eternia everywhere else).

Then the series copied pretty much the same formula for each iteration except in one game you cook differently or in another you learn spells in a different way. It's like repetitive RPG #1. At least Final Fantasy changes the formula with each game but Tales of just gets boring way too fast.

This is an odd thing coming from someone who loves Dragon Quest. I still don't understand the appeal behind RPGs, all I know is that I like some and hate others and it's just a real polarizing experience.

If there's ONE thing the Tales series does right its making idle talk between your party members; there's really still so few rpgs that have your group talk at all outside of cutscenes and its irritating as hell.
