It would be easier to judge the best Tales game if Namco actually released them in Europe. I've only played Symphonia and Phantasia (GBA), considering getting a PSP to buy ToE, but probably won't. I wanted ToL, TotT, ToI and TotA but none of them made it here. They almost said Europe will get ToS:DNW so at least that's something. Even that tiny trailer was good. As for the original ToS, well it was my first JRPG so I thought it was great (and still do).

The first one was a nice one, the second one was the one that surprised me the most, really scary how it started and the burning car

 3:1? Try 6:1 or more. In Japan, the PS3 is all but dead, the PSP's software sales suck for anything not named "Monster Hunter," and the 360... well, I won't even touch that. That leaves the DS and Wii (and the PS2, but that's last-gen) as platforms for big-budget projects targeted mostly at the Japanese.
