We're there. DKII to be more precise.

Lucky b******!

@Stats87: Then you basically know everything you need to. Symphonia, Symphonia 2, and (probably) Phantasia are all connected, and I believe one game (Abyss?) had a direct, numbered sequel. Apart from that, the games have nothing to do with one another. As to Mothership:

Can someone explain what Tales are what? Like if certain games are connected or which are "Mothership" titles? Or if that is too time consuming, possibly divert me to a place where I could learn this?

I've only ever played Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Symphonia

 

Well, soriku can explain this in more detail and it's quite complicated.

As far as I understand it there are 3 main Takes games; Phantasia, Destiny and Symphonia. The new Wii game supposedly falls in this category. These are the games with the highest budgets, and Namco refers to them as "Mothership" titles.

Then there are the games like Vesperia, Abyss, Legendia, Rebirth. Also main games, but with slightly less budget.

Spin offs like Dawn of the New world

Spin-offs like Tales of the World and Fandom: contains characters of different Tales games, not very good games, low budget

Edit: Wiki has a different opinion, lol. I remember to have read that there were 2 types of main games.

We have invitations for the Nintendo and Sony conferences. Microsoft is in the works, so hopefully there as well. So stay tuned to VGChartz next week!

 

I don't believe you can actually buy tickets.

M$ paid for only 1 game? They haven't seen vesperia's performance yet.

Wait...so there was a press announcement about two new tales titles, for PSP and DS...
...
...
and somehow this gets spun into a Wii announcement instead?!?
...
The Wii is like tiger woods. Boring, and everywhere. If the world was to end the headline would read "tiger woods and 6billion other people killed". Now it would be "Tiger woods dies with his Wii, and 6billion others go with him"



Trying to convince me the Wii is a real adult game machine 'if you play it right' is like trying to convince me Tofu tastes great 'if you just cook it right'

Frustrated much? It's even on IGN and they never post rumors.
