Tales games just have different teams working on different games. It can seem oversaturated, but somebody must be gobbling all of them up or the series would end. Imagine if you lived in Japan where they all get released and not just 1/3 of them.
I only welcome the abundance if they keep the quality up. I really don't want to get a great Symphonia, wait through a mediocre Legendia, and then get back to great Abyss again. Skip the middle child altogether I say.
Boooo, I liked Legendia better.Originally Posted by LunarWeaver
Anyway, I'm all in favor of "milking a dead cow" if it gives me more to play. And that's just what a sequel to Symphonia will do. And that Tales of Rebirth port will be the best thing if it's relesed over here.
Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to the DS game by Alfa System more?
I'm almost excited.
in my oppinian tales of symphonia sucked eggs threw a straw
Personally, I'm looking forward to the ToS sequel. The first one was very enjoyable and I hope the sequel is just as good. I hope Regal Bryant is playable again. He rocks. I just beat the GBA version of ToP last week and I've been itchin to play another Tales game.(I don't have a PSP to play Radiant Mythology and my friend still has Disc 2 of ToE >_>)

Get it back! Tales of Eternia is the best Tales of game IMO.Personally, I'm looking forward to the ToS sequel. The first one was very enjoyable and I hope the sequel is just as good. I hope Regal Bryant is playable again. He rocks
Tales of the Abyss (PS2) for the win.
Anyway, I'd say the odds of the ToS sequel making it out over here are pretty good considering that the original did so well in NA. I'm sure that's the only reason we even got Tales of Legendia and Tales of the Abyss and the Tales of Phantasia port. :P
I don't know if I would go as far as saying it's the best Tales game, but yes, Eternia is a very fun game to play. =)
Ah yes, another good Tales game. I've been wanting to replay that game for a while now. Maybe I should......

PHANTASIA >:[ Anyway... I suppose I should invest in a DS for some Phantasia esque funtime~ But ya, tales of games are quite spectacular, good gameplay, dramatic story lines and such. I can see how, after so many games, some of them seem lack luster. They reminded me of Star Ocean games, and there were only three of those aside from ports.
Sephiro this here.
New info on the new games
RPGFan News - New Details on Newest Tales Games Revealed
Yesterday we brought you news about the four newest additions to Bandai Namco Games' ever popular Tales series having been announced in Tokyo. Today we have some more information on those four games to share, courtesy of GameWatch.
Tales of Innocence, the second Tales installment to appear on Nintendo's DS after last year's Tales of the Tempest is developed by Alfa System. Alfa System has a long track record working with various Tales installments from Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2 to Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology and Tales of Destiny for PlayStation Portable. Development of Tales of Innocence began at around the same time as the development of Radiant Mythology.
At this point the game is apparently already playable. Furthermore, at Tokyo Game Show, Bandai Namco will show off the Production I.G-made opening sequence.
Tales of Innocence will feature 3D graphics and a battle system tentatively called Dimension Stride Linear Motion Battle System. Said battle engine is based on Tales of the Abyss' Flex Range Linear Motion Battle System and Tales of Destiny's Aerial Linear Motion Battle System, meaning fans can look forward to a lot of aerial combo action.
Mutsumi Inomata returns as main character designer. The game's sword-wielding protagonist is called Ruca Milda, while the straight-forward and honest Iria Animi will be the female led. Ruca is described by its creators as a traditional RPG hero whose character will grow while he interacts with fellow party members.
Tales of Innocence takes places in a world which has known nothing but full-scale war for a long time. Amidst this chaos, the imperial capital of Regnum continues to enjoy peace thanks to its superior military power. All of a sudden, people with extraordinary powers begin to appear. Because they are feared and hated, the government begins to arrest them. Just at that time, Ruca, son of a merchant family realizes he also happens to possess these extraordinary powers. Last, but not least, the game's main theme "Follow The Nightingale" will be performed by Japanese songstress KOKIA. Tales of Innocence will be available in Japan sometime this winter.
Tales of Symphonia Ratatosk no Kishi (Knights of Ratatosk, tentative title) is a sequel to the popular GameCube and PlayStation 2 (Japan Only) title Tales of Symphonia. This new game will take place three years after the events of the prequel.
The development team promises improved visuals, extensive use of the Wii's unique control scheme, as well as new towns and dungeons. While the system will be based on Symphonia's, the sequel will also allow for players to capture and raise monsters, which can be used as party members. The game's protagonist is call Emil, while the heroine's name is Marta. Furthermore, characters from Tales of Symphonia are set to make appearances in the game. Tales of Symphonia Ratatosk no Kishi will go on sale in Japan sometime next spring.
Details about the PlayStation Portable version of Tales of Rebirth are still far and few in between. So far, Bandai Namco Games has only confirmed the addition of widescreen support and a gallery mode, but apparently those are not the only original features of this handheld release. Tales of Rebirth for PlayStation Portable will hit Japanese retail store shelves in early 2008.
Finally, there is the Tales of Destiny Director's Cut for PlayStation 2. The director's cut will feature a wide number of improvements, including new sub character events, new levels of difficulty, hints being displayed in dungeons, and the option to carry over one's save data from Tales of Destiny. Arguably the biggest addition however is Lion Mode. In this mode, players can experience Tales of Destiny's story through the eyes of Lion Magnus. The game's limited edition, which was also announced at the event, will come in a special box and ship with an original DVD.
Tales of Destiny Director's Cut will be available for Japanese PlayStation 2 owners in early 2008.

Tales of Symphonia Ratatosk no Kishi. Lol, Kishi. 3 years after Symphonia, eh? I wonder if Genis and Raine will have aged at all, or if Lloyd and [chosen partner] have run around collecting EX gems or whatnot.
Whoa, only three years. I was really hoping farther along, but now I'm hoping for Seles to have a big role. I'm with Lunar and wonder what's happening with Lloyd and uhmm...[chosen partner]* with their journey.
Is it just me or does Iria (Straight-foward and honest) kind of sound like Farah?
*(SPOILER)Chosen Partner is Sheena!!!
She better be
Don't read my spoiler, it contains cold, hard truth!
(SPOILER)Sheena > Colette.
(SPOILER)It'll probably be Colette because she has nothing else going for her. xP
