After picking up Tales of Hearts R Yesterday I got curious about Tales of Innocence R and an English port.
THis is from August so a few months ago, may have been posted, idk. Anyways
Tales of Innocence R Could Be Released in the West in the Future
Tales Of Innocence R, the PlayStation Vita remake of the Nintendo DS entry of the Tales of series, could be released West according to series producer Hideo Baba.
In a recent interview with JPgames, Baba san has revealed that Bandai Namco games currently has no plans to release the game West. Tales Of Hearts R localization wasn’t planned as well but the comapny decided to release the game in North America and Europe following the request of many fans of the series. However there’s still the chance that things will change in the future, as Hideo Baba revealed that good sales of Tales Of Hearts R could make Bandai Namco change their stance on Tales Of Innocence R.
The next questions is related to this. Is a localization of Tales of Innocence R also possible?
Baba: The localization of Tales of Hearts R really was an exception. Because so many fans asked us to bring the game to the west, we wanted to fulfill the fans’ wishes. Like with Hearts R, Innocence R was not intended to be localized in the first place, and that is still the case now. So presently I cannot answer if Tales of Innocence R will ever be released on European markets.
This means you will first wait for the sales figures of Tales of Hearts R?
Baba: (laughs) Let’s phrase it like this: Not only the sales figures matter. The more people play the game the more likely it is [that Tales of Innocence R will be released in the west].
Tales Of Innocence R is now available in Japan on PlayStation Vita. Tales Of Hearts R will be released during November in both North America and Europe.
