So, Tales is a yearly franchise now they found their userbase (and have their engine up and running) on PS3?
Not sure how I feel about that. Atelier did it too, but earlier in the gen & it's suffering now by the looks of things by the time they're onto their fifth game.
Still, I'm very much looking forward to Xillia. And besides, I believe Xillia 2 was better received than the original so I suppose there's no reason they can't improve despite a relatively short dev time.

Tales has always been a yearly franchise pretty much but their console Tales game for this year is the ToS HD collection, and their title for last year was Xillia 2 which reused a bunch of stuff from XIllia 1. There hasn't been a completely original non-sequel console Tales game in a while.

Tales has always been a yearly franchise? 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2006, and 2010 saw no Tales of games.
But, ah who cares. I love Tales.
P.S. Last year, Japan also got Tales of the Hero's for PSP. Looks cool. Actually they release a lot of spin-off/side games for the PSP (9 Tales of the World games, 9!), so wonder they are financially strapped.
