Woo! I'm rather glad that I'm getting it later this year.

How are you getting it this year?

Isn't Abyss also included in that press release?

I thought you were talking about getting Tales of Graces F this year.

2012? are you kidding me???

now what am i gonna do??

i waited out 2009 for vesperia

i waited out 2010 for vesperia

i gave up on vesperia after being trolled then focused on xillia(which wont be coming this year)

i finally gave in to graces f and considered getting it due to xillia being so far off(2012)

then when finally giving in to graces f they announce that im gonna have to wait another year for a tales game??

really bamco? REALLY NOW??

so this only confirm's that Xillia wont be over hear until 2013 right bamco?!

how far apart was Tale's of vesperia 360's release date's between Japan and North America??

Tales of Vesperia JP release date was 8/07/08 and US date was 8/26/08.

Yes, but not releasing what they could easily down-res and call a day for those 70-million is equally idiotic, so whose to say?

I hear that. I have 2 options now if I want to play this game: Buy a PS3, and the game when it's released next fucking year, or learn Japanese so I can play on my imported copy that I orginally hoped to play the fan translation on. Both are too expensive and time consuming right now.

I've come to reason that this franchise just isn't worth it. I've wasted enough energy chasing this game and this franchise, and I'm done. Too many Tales games are left in japan and scattered across way too many platforms, definitive version often pop up a few years after the original is released, the games confirmed for localisation take far too long to show up, and other such foolishness. I tried keeping up but Namco have made that nothing less than an ardous toil. I have had enough. My money and time are better spent on other games, better franchises, and companies that aren't completely retarded. If A Tales game that I may be interested in happens to come by a platform I own and is released in my region I might grab it, but I'm done chasing Tales games. It's just not worth the effort. I advise you do the same.

I was ambivalent towards Tales until my roommate gave me Symphonia for Christmas 09, and i just wanted more, but heard DotNW was so-so, so wanted to go for Graces. I didn't love Symphonia that much (loved it, but not to the point where i'll bend over backwards for the franchise), so i'm not really missing anything here.

PS3. EXCLUSIVE. DEAL WITH IT. im not at all surprised that they would do that, does it suck that they didnt even put the regular version on WIi??? yep and it sucks that it woudl take so long, if this was another company it would have been done by Xmas, but whatever i least i get to play it eventually
