I'm just going to say, pray it comes out of Japan, if it does, buy it if you have a DS and like JRPGs. This is better than Tales of Innocence which never made it out of Japan and is damn good, it's actually one of the more interesting Tales I've played with a revamped 2D combat system as well.

I don't think that there's even the slightest chance it ever comes out of Japan, looking at how long ago it was released.

Tales of Symphonia came out for the GameCube in the US against all odds. So Tales of Hearts will probably see release here.

Probably? You really think so? I'd say that I severely, severely doubt it. It's possible, but hardly probable.

I can't see any reason for them to release it. They haven't released the other two DS Tales in the west, all the three have sold the same amount, recent Tales games in the west haven't exactly set the charts on fire and they have Tales of Graces coming soon which is the better choice to do a localisation for.

Tales of Hearts being released outside Japan? Yeah...Probably not going to happen. Tales of Graces barely has a shot. Hope for that one instead.

I wish it was.

It looked much better than the other Tales games on the DS.

Tales of Hearts won't come to the western market not even in 1000 years. Any Tales of fan still hopes for it to come, but I doubt that. As nintendo_fanboy has said, the other two Tales of for DS weren't released by here too. Tales of Graces has an extremely higher chance of being released by these sides (and will probably be, like most of home-console Tales of titles).

Wait, Tales of Hearts is for DS? I thought it was a Wii game. The next Wii Tales game has like, as Soriku said, an a hundred percent chance of coming out over here.

EDIT: I must have missed the first sentence of the OP or misread it.

I don't know why they won't release here, they could easily make another 100k in USA, what is already okay.
