@stokedup, i still like the final fantasy series alot more, since the games always come over from japan. where as namco doesnt do that with the tales series, also they take way too long too bring them over as well.
i believe i will always prefer the final fantasy series to the tales series, because i have never had a game from the tales series get me addicited to like : ff8 and ff10 , ff11:online. until that day arrives, in my eyes and heart the tales series will always be the backup.
if namco would give the tales series more deeper stories, dealing with death,love,loss and all the adult themes that final fantasy or ( my favorite rpg ever : lost odyssey ) gives, i think the tales series would explode in sales. the tales series is more light hearted and evades the more mature themes, that is what is holding the series back.

To be honest, i think i agree with you. While i really do like the TALES OF franchise and i do actually prefer Tales of battle systems to Final Fantasys, The final fantasy franchise just pips it for me and for same reason you say. Although i do think the TALES OF series are getting more popular with every release now.
