It's clear that Japan just has no business sense. They're too dense to publish games that would make a profit because it's not making as much of a profit as they'd like. It's only making one million instead of $100 million. They don't think we'd like games in the US that are just common sense it's g ames we'd be interested in, and while this won't happen all the time, sometimes it takes a developer like Atlus to finally pick the game up and publish it(Demon's Souls.). When a single game in a franchise sells poorly, they cancel localization for most, if not all, future titles, or they hand the license over to a really shitty American company because that will really make the game sell. Tales of series, Brave Fencer Musashi series, SaGa series, Front Mission series, etc.

Japan needs a few CEOs that aren't dumbasses. Squaresoft needs to have their entire company restructured seeing as they're bleeding money with every release and every game they're releasing from Square Enix Japan is graphics, graphics, graphics, then a little gameplay development time.


There's nothing wrong with Tales nowadays unless you really want the spinoffs or Vita games. Namco's localized all the mainline Tales on consoles so far, with Xillia 2 coming out next year as well as the Symphonia HD collection, plus the next mainline (Zestiria) is likely going to be localized as well (just got tradmarked in EU).


You missed the underlying point. Tales is a series that should always make way to the west. It shouldn't take millions of petitions and twitter bombing especially when companies like Atlus or NIS or Marelous manage to bring them over like nothing. The big Japanese companies are ridiculous.
