I couldn't get over how bad Xillia was.I wanted to like it as Symphonia was one of my favourite GC games but the series is stuck in the past. The design is awful.

Been a while since I've seen you around, man. :)

Anyway, as for Vita Tales games, well it seems the Tales team seems to have it closer to Sony than any part of Nintendo right now (which is odd because, according to Baba, Nintendo helped Tales get popular in the States)

1/3rd are amazing (Vesperia, Xillia 2, Abyss, and Symphonia) the other 1/3rd are good (Graces f, Legendia, Eternia, Xillia) and the other 1/3rd are mediocre (Destiny PS1, Radiant Mythology 1, and Symphonia 2)

That's for the localized ones, then the not local fit into one of those three categories.

Overall, it's a really amazing series because every game is different than one another in battle system, story and music, but they all retain the series charm. :D

This is just major proof how Tales does well on Sony's consoles and whats amazing is that Namco knows that very well too ( duh how could they not know :P ) so im really glad we're getting more Tales than ever before not only in Japan but also localized exclusively only on PlayStation!

Tales on PS4 please!

Damn! The 360 version of Tales of Vesperia sold worse than the PS3 version. Funny since the 360 version is available worldwide while the PS3 version is exclusive to Japan. No wonder the series jumped ship.

It's understandable though that the PSVita and 3DS titles sold like crap. They're merely upgraded ports of other games. Not new titles.

From the ones iv played (symphonia 1&2,xillia1 and gracef) the series seems to have good games.Plus you can jump in anywhere since only symphonia 1&2 and xillia 1&2 are conneected.

In general, with the exception of the Radiant Mythology games and Hearts DS, Tales doesn't feel like a handheld game.

@Stevo_the_gamer: That's 40 games in some 19 years (assuming that Super Famicon one from 1995 was the first one).

@finalstar2007: it makes me sad that you're not upset that Vesperia still isn't on PS3 worldwide.

I would assume they made them to entice the Western Audiences.

I am playing xillia right now .... I was extremely skeptical at the beginning of the game but it grew on me and I can't put it down at the moment ... the story was surprisingly decent too.

I consider myself a follower of the franchise and can't wait for Xilli 2 and the other latest one.

I just started a few days ago and the story starts off so slooooooooow. But I just got off like a 5 hour marathon session and I usually can't play more like an hour of any other game.

For a series that has been around for so long not a single one ever even passed 1M copies sold in it´s major market? Not to mention that the best sellers there are mostly games that came out years ago.

Surprised Xillia sold more than Vesperia and Symphonia.
