Goddamn, this alone makes me want a PSP. I'm such a Tales fanboy it's rididiculous...And all these characters meshed into one game! I could drown in my own frickin' drool.

However, like all other Tales of chapters in the series, it is unrelated to previous installments in the series.
What about Symphonia and Phantasia . Namco seemed to go outta their way to make them seem related to me.
