I'm rather not pleased with their track record in general, tbh, but I'm happy it appears to be improving... For now. I mean, I've supported the Tales of series as much as I can--I bought a lot of the games and even bought Tales of Vesperia twice not to mention the PS3 version meaning the same titled game 3 times lol, and I try to get people into it as well (I bought a copy of Tales of Vesperia for my friend Shu for instance, meaning I practically bought the game four times... that's a new record O_o). I really like the games themselves and could talk about them for ages so if you want a discussion there you'll have to prompt me on something a little more specific. Don't particularly have a favorite but Symphonia and Vesperia are up there. I haven't played much of the retro ones because I'm more of a fan of the 3D ones, 3D in both graphics and gameplay (I don't like the linear gameplay as much). I've played: Tales of Phantasia Tales of Symphonia** Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World** Tales of Graces** Tales of Graces F* Tales of Vesperia Tales of Vespera PS3! Tales of Innocence Tales of the Tempest! Tales of the Abyss* Tales of the Abyss 3D* Tales of Legendia* Note that * means I beat it, ** means I think I beat it twice or more (though my memory's kinda foggy when it comes to this), and ! means it's in-progress. I have Tales of Xillia pre-ordered and will get Xillia 2 when it gets localized. ^What about you? Did you really play EVERY one besides Vesperia and the Tempest? Even Hearts, without it being translated, and Xillia and Xillia 2, also not localized yet? Even the spin-off games like Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology series or whatever? XD There's so many I doubt I'll play them all though I'd like to beat at least the main games, spin-offs don't really matter too much to me sadly since they're usually just gimmicks that only people who already like the series would play and I don't find too much value in that usually XP.

ah you caught me with Xillia 1 and Xilla 2 XD but yeah besides those two i've played them all i started hearts and got pretty far when i learned about the translation though i stopped playing and decided to wait until it was finished to play it again, My favorite Tales of game ATM is probably Graces F just something about it that makes me like it more than the others i've played im currently not able to pre-order Xillia but im definitely going to make sure to get it within the first week by any means necessary....within the confines of the law of course

I've played and own the PS2 version and what blazer said about its gameplay is pretty accurate while i personally think the story is pretty good but isn't much of a strong point, from my experience the main strong points of the tales of games are gameplay and character interations while story and such tend to be decent but pretty cliche anyway i also strongly recommend picking this game up if you are a RPG fan
