Tales of Symphonia is still the best JRPG I've ever played. I've yet to play a FF that I liked more than Symphonia.

The setting in the tales games is no different then the setting you see in pretty much every other jrpg.

Final Fantasy VII is not the type of game that every company eventually comes out with (Huge success sells millions all over the world).

So the question isn't WHEN will tales comes out with a FFVII, it's IF they will.

They just need to invest about 50 million in a game, make it fun and with an awesome story and market the sh*t out of it all over the world.

No...I give example..Tales uses the same setting since the beginning of the series( Legendia my 2nd fav tales game is the exception),...look at how many times FF have changed the setting in the series. Tales may have a different name for the world but it looks exactly like every other Tales game can you say the same thing about FF?? hell SO gave us multiple settings in one game.

With every new release they are getting older... 10 years out and there still wasnt a single Tales game that was even fairly popular in the west... except if they make a MHFU.Tri add campaing like Capcom is doing/will do I dont see it ever becomming a popular game series outside of Japan...

Tales of Symphonia was extremely successful worldwide...

550,000 in US/Canada

230,000 in others

counts as popular.

steam punk and modern settings are something that nobody seems to care about nowadays. Everything is set in a legendary era with lots of grass and clouds.

FF7 broke that mold, but stayed true to the classic jrpg by keeping scenic areas along with steam punk.

FF7 + 8 are two of the best jrpgs ever made (according to popularity levels across the net), and they both involve modern scenes along with futuristic settings.

This is why Final Fantasy Versus is going to tear up the JRPG world.
