Don't waste money for an incomplete version of the game on the 360. Man up and study Japanese instead.

I sincerely doubt any localization for this game, and have imported the Japanese one already... remember folks - Namdai doesn't give a shit about its fans.


How dont they care about their fans? they are releasing abyss 3ds of which europe never got to play and graces next year to try and get the series back up and running in the west. The 360 version isnt incomplete if it was something in that game wouldnt make sense but everything was done incredibly well. I wouldnt mind a ps3 version with the extras but saying the 360 version is less than steller is crazy.

Do you really think Namco Bandai cares for its North American audience? Tales of Abyss 3D is the same game people in Japan & North America got almost 5 years ago. There are not enhancement but 3D it' a simple copy and paste job.  What about the Playstation 2, Nintendo DS, and PSP games other countries outside of Japan never received? They won't even let another publish the Tales of games they chose not to localize. Finally, Tales of Graces F is another great example Wii owners asked Namco Bandai to localize the game before the PS3 version was announced as was ignored. A year later the game is announced and guess what its the PS3 version so guess what if you want to play Tales of Graces buy the Japanese Wii version or buy a Playstation 3 to play the localize version. Namco Bandai does not care about the North American or Europe audience for Tales games.

WOW! lol Europe never got tales of the abyss and north america getting a port of a game that most of them didnt even know abot is not a bad thing. Why do you insist on them going backwards? thats stupid and basically a waste imo.Okay wii owners cant play graces without a ps3, well western ps3 owners cant play vesperia without a 360 and ps3 or 360 owners can play symphonia 2. its how the series is you seem to need more than one platform to play most of their games like kingdom hearts. You can say they dont care but your not in ther shoes past tales games really dont show them they even need to bring any over for the most part but at least their trying. Just look forward if abyss 3ds and graces do good enough we will probably get xillia and prob a steady flow afterwards. Also you say they dont want anybody else to publish their games but in the end they probably still wouldnt have made abig enough profit for it to be worth it, it more than likely would have sold worse in someone like exceeds hands.

It doesn't matter if most people didn't know about Tales of Abyss thats is Namco Bandai problem with not advertising its own games but some people still played Tales of Abyss so its nothing but a port in 3D with no extras content. Please point out where I said I want Namco to go back with the Tales of series I expect a quote not you paraphrasing my words.  FYI I played Tales of Verperia on my Playstation 3 without a Xbox 360 just fine. The different with Wii owners were they was asking Namco Bandai to localize the game in North American and Europe so they could play the game in a language they could understand.  Namco ignored them and a year later they announced Tales of Graces F for TBA platforms giving some people the impression of a multiplat release later to be announced as a PS3 exclusive. I understand each console will have exclusive games its how the industry works. I can say Namco Bandai doesn't care by there actions alone look at all the times fans ask for the PS2, NDS, and PSP games nothing was giving and the fact that Tales of games come out yearly in Japan but it has been 3 years since a Tales of game been release to its Western fan base. When Nintendo help publish their games it was a massive success in the Worldwide.

what about the ds,psp and ps2 games people outside of japan never got is what you said, showing that you want old games lol. What publishers like namco do isnt simple advertising something like a tales games with commercials in western markets isnt the smartest move in all honesty. Also its been three years since we got one obviously because of sales and shouldnt they reqoup and get more revenue for the series than to stupidly release them 1 after another in western markets yearly. Id rather the company make up for what they didnt do now than to bitch about games we didnt get its their series not ours, tales games can profit fine without western releases but namco feels they maybe can do better this time around inthe western market and im willing to wait and seen than sit around sulking over games we never got. and you saying you can play vesperia on your ps3 is pretty much irrelevant to what i was saing as you know i meant a fully translated version not an import, ya know unless you can read and understand japanese then your fine. Ill support people who want more tales games but i wont sit around and act like getting all those games would have been a good move either as namco probably woulld have lost more than gained on bringing all 3 ds games those 3 or more ps2 games and especially any psp games as piracy has  killed alot of potential sales for bigger psp games than tales in the western market.

I was giving an example on how Namco Bandai history of not localize Tales of series is.  If I wanted the games I believe I would have imported the games like I did with past Tales of games. Look who reaching.  If you do not advertise your games period how are people going to buy what you are selling them if you don't know about their products. I was claiming that Namco Bandai doesn't have to release every tales game yearly only in moderation to please some of their fans .I honesty don't think you get the point of this conversation about localize and advertising thier games because you keep adding stuff that doesn't refer to want I was talking about.  I was politely giving you example and you refer to it as I was bitching and begging for old games indicated in you first sentence. I guess you where refering to other Tales of fans I guess.
