Did a quick google search and aside from the overall sales worldwide and the stat you mentioned, I can't find anything on its sales. Not much on the sequel either. :( All I can find are data on the Japanese sales which don't help much. I know ToS did well here (sold about half of what it did in Japan, as far as I can guess, which is good considering its sheer lack of advertisement), but the other Tales games pretty much bombed. So I really don't see them considering the NA/EU fan base in their development cycles unless they know it'll benefit the Japanese fans too. Though, I guess if there were one part of the franchise they would do it on, it would be ToS.

And pffft. Where's the love for Yuan? I can see some problems that they would have to consider when making the game (depressing ending anyone? as well as a lot of one-on-one battles if they want to stick to canon and Mithos facing the Summon Spirits by himself) but regardless I would love to know their history. So much. /too lazy to comment on everything else hurr. |
I don't think they'd drastically alter the battle system or anything, even for a remake over a port. I'm pretty sure they didn't really change anything but graphics and maybe add in some extra areas/functions in all the other Tales remakes but I've also never played any of them so I dunno. XD;
That's the problem! There isn't much love for Yuan! :( He needs to be featured in another game to fix this. |
I restarted Eternia :P Been training like crazy, and now I'm getting Sylph. ^.^ I swear, it's so hard to get a Thrust level up so I've been abusing Megasonic Thrust like crazy. >.>
Anyone else here plays Eternia/Destiny II? |
I borrowed parallelzero's copy of the PSP version last year. I liked it. The characters were fun but I wasn't a fan of the battle system so for the last 1/5th of the game I did all my grinding on Auto. *ashamed* I never did get the hang of the summon spirits in that game.
I loved Meredy though. n_n |
Sadly, I haven't. I watched the majority of the OVA (which isn't even near like the game) but other than that I haven't been able to play it. I don't really like playing on ROMs aaand I don't have a PSP either.
At this rate I'm forever going to have only played Symphonia (1&2), Abyss, and part of Phantasia and Legendia. |
As of right now I only have a 3DS and a Wii, so the only game in the series that really interests me is Tales of the Abyss (I need to play Symphonia before it's sequel). For a while now I've been considering buying a PlayStation 3 to play a few of its games, but mostly to play many of the great PlayStation 1 and PlayStation 2 games I missed growing up (Metal Gear Solid, Shadow of the Colossus, etc.) Thing is, I was always quite skeptical as I don't have easy access to money, merely because I promised myself I'll never work in the fast food industry. Then I seen the English trailer for Graces f, which led me to get a simple paper route. Hundreds of amazing games, here I come!

Haha, really? I finished Phantasia because it was only 4 episodes. Eternia had what, 20+ I think. Aaaand for the game itself, I actually abused Spiral Attack and Neo Tempest Swarm so much that now my Thrust levels are going up faster than Slash. o.o |
Mm, no, I think Eternia just had an OVA and was like... 5 episodes long? It was an extra story that takes place near the end of the game but is never referenced in the game itself. Maybe you're thinking of Tales of the Abyss's anime? If I'm not wrong, it's the only one with more than 20 episodes. :P

Ahem. I mean, I saw the whole episode list one. It was definitely more than 5. XD Wiki says it's got 13 episodes Okay maybe not 20+ but still :P Are the OVAs and anime two different things? XD |
Yeah. Eternia has thirteen. I got to about... episode ten I think but I never finished it.
Anyways, have a commercial guys! |
Omg you're right. :( But... but nothing happened in it so I assumed it was only ~5, haha. Whoops!
I like the art from the new Tales but I sure wish they'd give us more teasers than just that. |
Point taken. It was just shenanigans happening on an island if I remember correctly.
Same. Well, they'll be telling us the title during the Tales of Festival beginning on June (June 3rd or something?) so I guess we'll have to wait until then. I won't be surprised if something leaks before that day though. I'm also hoping that they say something about the next Symphonia OVA episode as well during the Tales of Festival if not sooner. |
lol, not much of a teaser. They do work fast though, don't they? Xillia was barely released in September and already a new game is being developed. Kinda figured they do an enhance version before working on something new. Oh well, let's just hope it's on a console I currently own.
|
They release a new flagship title once every year or two though, don't they? This one may not even be released this year if they're only starting to tease it now. Xillia was just released last year, yeah, but it was first teasted in summer 2010. So we'll probably see the next one in 2013.
I'm a little torn on the idea of an enhanced version of Xillia. I mean, I don't care either way if it gets one but the only time they've really done re-releases so close to the original release is when they're porting the game. There's no way Xillia will be released on 360 and that's really the only valid port it could get in this generation. But despite that, it was also unfinished when it was released--they said that a lot of things (including characters!) ended up on the cutting room floor so they wouldn't have to delay the game. Everyone I know who's played it seems to like it well enough but most of them agree that it doesn't seem as polished as it could be. So I do sort of expect them to release a polished version. Maybe they'll wait until the Wii U has been released and port it to that with all the additions? *shrug* The reveal of the next Tales game on the website is set to coincide with Tales Festival this year, so hopefully any trailer or information they show for it will be publicly available too instead of taking place behind closed doors-only like previous years. :3 |
I think they mentioned an important quote about the new game. Something along the lines of "Are you willing to destroy the world to save one girl's life?" Personally, I think this sounds a lot like Symphonia.
|
And Vesperia and Abyss if they'd chosen to focus more on Tear and...
XD; It's not a very original line, especially in a JRPG. Apparently the X in "TALES OF NEXT" on the web page has been flashing the same purple as the Xillia logo. So I think we're getting Xillia 2. :s |
Is that what they're going to do? Hnnn... Well I'm still hoping that they do something for Symphonia next year then. But.. eh. I haven't played Xillia so I can't have much of an opinion of whether I can be excited for a Xillia 2 or not. :x
So I'll be excited about this instead! 8D http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b11/cutepresea/ToSUWPack2CE.jpg I reaaaallly wished I had the money to buy this episode. ;; |
Jeez. The wait is killing meh. But sadly it's going to be Kratos Route isn't it? ;______;
That's what the Bonus Disk said...But isn't Colette Route Canon? DDDDDD: Zelos. ;_______________; |
Honestly, I'm very behind on the ToS anime (I never finished the Tethe'alla arc) so I don't even know what details confirm the route they're taking but... has it been stated anywhere that they're explicitly following one route or another? Unlike the game where it would have been ridiculous to have 9 party members at all time (with two being virtually identical), the anime won't really be confined by game mechanics. They could pretty much just follow the Colette route and have Kratos rejoin the main group anyway, couldn't they? :s
They can't really mess too much with canon unless they want to make ToS2 take place on an entirely different timeline since Zelos is still a main character in it. |
That's what I was thinking. Because Zelos is still in TOTA2...
But look at this: Spoiler:
You guys played the actual game so not much of a spoiler but pretty much just showing what route they're probably using. Edit: LOL It's a parody of Detective Conan. XD |
I don't see why they would parody the route they are going to use. But if they kill off Zelos I would at least like to see some backstory and Seles. But until we see the episode and see what happens I would still like to think that it's up in the air. 'Sides, they could always do what the manga did. Also, if they were going to kill off the character I would imagine that the boxart would be of that character and his sister not Mithos and Martel. Buuuut that's just my opinion. Zelos is much more popular in Japan after all (took number one spot in the popularity poll).
As for the ending they've already said that the ending will be different than the games. Though I'm not sure if they mean slightly as if to make up for Tabatha not being in the OVA or something more drastic. But, I want my Kharlan Heroes, and that boxart and camera pic of Mithos and Martel (too lazy to go get it BUT THERE WAS ONE) is making it pretty certain that there will be more Kharlan Hero in the OVA which will make this girl one happy fangirl. As for the Omake I still find it hilarious when Yuan says 'There is only one truth' when I'm used to Mithos' VA (who voices Conan from Detective Conan) saying it all the time haha. |
