I wonder why Namco is still making Tales games, when they can't even keep their Tales games alive (Vesperia and Dawn of the New World both discontinued).

Doesn't sound like they what they're doing, at all.

Dawn of the New World was discontinued?

Shame. I never managed to pick it up. I guess I'll need to grab it used.

If it was discontinued, then the sales have been really disappointing to Namco.  Guess it's back to the drawing board for Namco on "how to make Tales popular in the West".

 

Hardly, they've never bothered going to the drawing board in the first place. If you don't promote a game, then you shouldn't expect it to sell.

 

That's exactly why RPGs from S-E and BioWare sell in the West and RPGs from Namco and Konami don't.  Namco can be idiots when it comes to marketing.  They automatically assume that Tales will not sell no matter what just because some forum posters say so.  I keep hearing on forums that "JRPGs not called Final Fantasy will never sell" left and right like it is some kind of self-prophecy.
