I think this may be the end of the entire Tales franchise. I know Tales of 10 is still coming, but seeing this game getting discontinued, and despite high sales trackings of VGChartz, it seems ToS Wii sales have also disappointed Namco.

It's a sad gaming industry where one of the best genres (JRPG's) can't seem to make any profit anymore.

 

Yeah.  The day the jRPG genre dies is the day I quit gaming.  I get this feeling it may be happening soon - the genre going like 2D spaceship shooters, or the DoDo. 

 

I always had the feeling that all the jRPGs on Xbox 360 was a last ditch effort by devs.  It seems to be coming true.

 

Tales of Vesperia is why I have a 360 in my console stash.  Next is Star Ocean 4.  When my choices come down to Casual games and shooters, I'm signing out.

Could not have said it any better.

 



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.
