Does the "Tales of" Series Need a Break?

It does need a break, bigger budget, and better writers... Better production value in general.

Definitely this...the bolded in particular. I finished Xillia a few weeks ago, and, though not a bad game, it suffered from some serious narrative problems. The series does well with characters IMO, so I really wish they'd improve the story-telling aspect of the games. Hard for me to care about what's going on when the story has so many issues.
