OK. From my expeditions into NeoGAF I came across this scan.

New Tales games. Yay!

Tales of Innocence, the big thing in the scan, for the DS. Hopefully it'll be better then the... bad... Tales of Tempest. The girl looks neat, at least.

Also, in the corner you see Tales of Symphonia 2! This apperently takes place two years after ToS. The blond kid is apparently the main character.

Also a "Directors Cut" of Tales of Destiny and a PSP port of Tales of Rebirth.

    I would be really excited about ToS 2, but I heard the ending considered canon is
    the one where Zelos betrays you and you kill him
    which kinda just takes the wind out of my sails, you know?

    Well, true, but remember that Symphonia sold pretty well over here, so we may get Symphonia 2, at least.

    This makes me feel happy. Really really happy.

    Sure Tale sof the Tempest was supposedly bad (I couldn't play it, so I can;t give an opinion) But if it was released state-side, I probably would have bought it, as it was Tales game for the DS which is something i've wanted to see over in the US for awhile now.

    Sure no tales game will probably ever be as good as Tales of Destiny2/Eternia, but this "Innocence" game looks like it might be promising. I'll pray for an english release.

    I bought Tales of the Tempest import. For $50. I will tell you you have every right to hate it.

    Personally i'll probally import the next one for DS, and maybe the one for PSP, seeing how Rebirth never came out for PS2 here and likely wont on PSP either.

    I would say that based on TOS sales we should get TOS2 since it will sell here in the US on name alone. Also, Namco decided to bring Tales of the World over on the PSP and Tales of the World is a game designed by Namco as a way of thanking their hardcore fans. It contains characters from previous Tales games, some of which were never released here in the US. If they are going to bring that over they will surely bring these games over...

    Doesn't look like Kousuke Fujishima's art designs offhand, which kind of dampens my enthusiasm.

    He's the reason I got into Symphonia.

    For me, when I see Fujishima's designs I immediately think of quality solely because of Symphonia/Abyss.

    It looks like they sampled the designs from whatever series the characters came from. Phantasia/Symphonia/Abyss: Fujishima, Legendia: whoever. The new design in Symphonia 2 looks like the work of whoever did Legendia's designs(meh).

    Fujishima did Phantasia, Symphonia and Abyss. I always preferred his character designs... (Though, I think Klarth from ToP was one of his more interesting character designs). Tales of the World just has a crossover of Tales characters from different games.

    [edit] Whenever I post people get in before me D: (Maybe I'm just slow)

    Kazuto Nakazawa did Legendia's designs (And also the character designs for Samurai Champloo)

    The thing about Tales of Symphonia is, I got it with high hopes. I wanted to explore a huge world, engage in fun battles, and, honest to God, collect things. I was looking for the JRPGs that used to mystify me when I was a kid.


    Then the story started. Gaah...It's like watching one of those cheesy animes. I just couldn't stomach it.


    I've been itching to try again, though. I like the idea of JRPGs, really volumnious games, but man the plot and acting makes me cringe. Normally the turn-based battles turn me off too, but this is at least a change from that.

    If only the co-op worked well.

    I agree. It took me a while to get into it.

    I started a new game... played for about 4 hours... then quit for months. I restarted and stomached the beginning, then I was playing it for 4 hours a day, 7 days a week. Until it was beaten.

    So I want to be excited about this, because I LOVE the Tales combat system. But Symphonia...ugh. The story dragged so hard for me, and was so over-the-top cliched that I just couldn't finish it. The fact that the story of the Wii version is a sequel kind of dissapoints me. I may pick it up, eventually.

    The DS version I will be watching closely.

    As long as TOS2 doesn't have Collette, I'll be happy (man, that girl was irritating).
