this series is so fucking dead

F

>>724626089 (OP)
I would've bought it but there's a lot of other games to play

>>724626089 (OP)
holy flop

Their own fault for remastering a title no one asked for instead of Abyss. Doesn't even have the good part either (Xillia 2).

>>724626089 (OP)
FFXIII of Tales of should be a free game

>>724626089 (OP)
Literally who Tales

So how much did they end up censoring?

>>724626089 (OP)
>>724626089 (OP)
holy fucking kek

>>724626089 (OP)
>people refused to eat only the 1st game
BASADO!

>>724626089 (OP)
Why would the fans play a remaster

>>724626231
For real I'm actually backed up on games, there's been a surprising amount of ok/decent games and I still haven't played all the old games I want to

>>724626089 (OP)
We already played it and it didn't need a remaster.
Total remaster death.

>>724626089 (OP)
How censored is it? I heard people say it's been hit by DEI censorship: censorship of outfit, censored camera, black void when trying to see panties...

>>724626089 (OP)
Thanks to modern audiences!

>>724626089 (OP)
I fucking called it when I said Arise would unironically kill off the franchise. Hate to see how I ended up being right as each game after Arise ended up selling worse and worse.

>>724629627
It would never sell even without the censorship. It's Xillia, garbage by default since 2011

>>724629640
>s each game after Arise
Ah yes. All the 0 new games that have released since have indeed sold 0 copies.

kek some guy was right on yesterday's thread

>>724626089 (OP)
How do we save Namco?

>>724626089 (OP)
Is the Agria cutscene still censored? Hell, did they maybe even censor it for the Japanese this time too?

>>724629867
No matter. The remaster seems to be made by a random intern over a weekend. 100 sales is enough for it to be profitable.

The Tales of series is so incredibly mid

>>724629915
release well made and perfectly emulated or ported Ridge Racer collection (1-5) and Pac-Man collection
No remastering, just perfect archival ports

So who do I choose to play as? Any big differences?

>>724630008
It's not a lie, but it's funny that it's always someone that likes Falcom or Atlus games saying so.

>>724630138
The opening is slightly different but outside of that the game basically doesn't change.

>>724630138
Jude is more fun to play so pick him first. There are a few points in the game where they split up so you'll see events from each of their perspectives. That's about it.

>>724630138
Jude. Milla spents some time out of the party and there's no explanation about what happened with them.
Sure, if you play Jude's route first, you lose context of Milla, but not about the other 5 characters.

>>724630141
Falcom aside Atlus games absolutely are better than whatever Namco is shitting out.

>>724626089 (OP)
doesn't matter, Tales has always been a console franchise with the majority of players being Japanese, the next weekly famitsu thread should give us a real insight on how much of a flop this shit was.

>>724629627
>>724629759
Repond here >>724629523

>>724626089 (OP)
Well, its literally the worst game on the series. Graces sold well because it was shilled for having good combat. I think they ported Xillia just so it wouldnt be odd duck out and it would be admitting they developed a bad game.

No one plays this stuff on steam. What a garbage metric, so much for PC gaming.

>>724629523
>>724630416
Because they're lying. The only thing that was censored was a accessory that put a cigarette in Jude's mouth since he's canonically 15 and underage smoking is a no no. That's it. Nothing else was censored. In case you haven't realized "x game is censored, I'm not buying it" is the new age concern trolling that blatant Discord trannies love pulling to shit on new games.

>>724626089 (OP)
vestigial property. time to excise it

>>724630418
Graces sold because a new Remaster after 6 years (Vesperia DE) was novelty.
Literally no one cares about Xillia, only internet revisionists care about it now.

Game was maligned on released and Xillia 2 helped to aleviate a bit. That game also had its own can of worms.

>>724630519
>Nothing else was censored
Source?

>>724630574
Xillia 2 is MUCH worse of a game than Xillia 1.

>>724630585
See? Concern trolling.

>>724630519
Trannies don't care about censorship. Incels do.

>>724630519
Do we have panties shots screenshot proving that there's no censored? Because Bamco became fully DEI with Digimon which they censored with black voids.

>>724626089 (OP)
I bough arise like years ago and still haven't touched it.

>>724630637
Not on combat department. And Xillia itself was always a 5/10, anyway.

>>724630728
You're better off I'd genuinely say Arise is worst than Zesteria and probably the single worst game in the series.

>>724630730
2's combat is only arguably better for Luger and playing 1 character for the entire game is boring so with you needing to have Luger in your party all the time it ends up feeling worse than 1 since you can't shuffle things around.

>>724630339
>always a Trails faggot
As expected

>>724630870
Learn to read dumbass. I literally specifically said Falcom games AREN'T better you illiterate nigger.

>>724630138
Jude is the intended first playthrough, the universe's rules are explained better and later scenes when the party is divided flow better in a first time with him. From the intro alone you'll be able to tell he comes across as the "inexperienced first timer" of the two.

>>724630815
Every character from the first have expanded moveset and Gaius and Muzet are also playable, so not, it's not better because one character. It's better on everything in regards of combat.

>>724630418
>its literally the worst game on the series
But it's better than Destiny PSX, Rebirth, Legendia, Graces, Zestiria, Arise and possibly Berseria

Really sad how expensive everything is nowadays that there’s no space for slop jrpg’s to survive. Tales never had to evolve, it has to double down on the cartoony/chibi aesthetic and give a character-driven story. Instead it tried to become some like ebin rpg series and tried to recoup its fucking cost with microtransactions in a singleplayer game. You used to be able to pop out these jrpgs in a year/two years flat. Arise was in development for FIVE YEARS.

TALES IS NOT A FIVE YEAR DEV CYCLE, TALES IS A “You can only get Stroke or Tech Artes but we won’t tell you how you get them or what that means” TYPE OF GAME. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE A COMPELLING STORY ABOUT SPACE ALIENS THAT ARE SLAVES OF OTHER SPACE ALIENS!? GEE YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD WRITER, TOO BAD THIS IS “Tales Of” SO YOU KNOW YOU WON’T GET ONE.

>>724630815
What would you say, in your opinion, is the best Tales game, Anon?

>>724630637
>X2 is worse than X1
In your dreams

>>724631061
Graces, Abyss or Berseria. One of those 3 I'm not sure which I'd say is best.

>>724631026
>TOO BAD THIS IS “Tales Of” SO YOU KNOW YOU WON’T GET ONE
They should've kept whoever wrote Abyss on board, surely they must know people it's the one Tales story people on either side of the pond constantly jerk off

>>724631026
Slop JRPGs can survive but they need a smaller budget and hopes and dreams.

>>724630907
While also defending Atlus, as expected from a third worlder monkey that enjoys AA slop trash. Kys

Ok since you faggots don't want to talk about censorship, here's proof panties shots are seemingly safe. Even ps5 version doesn't have black void.

>>724631194
>an ESL favela monkey who can't read a simple sentence calling anyone a third worlder
Fucking embarrassing display

Tales was always a middling series. No shit their legacy port games arent doing well.

>>724626089 (OP)
I don't think they expected it to sell that much. The budget for this “remaster” was probably really low. They just wanted to make the game available officially outside of the decade and a half old ps3 version.

>>724631026
The main reason I'm fine with the remakes is cause Arise was so unbelievably awful I have zero faith in Namco ever making a good new Tales game again.

What was alvin even good for outside of the 1st gaius fight

Can't Bandai just make a 3D version of Phantasia already before they drop the series altogether?

>>724631334
It's basically just a port with a couple QOL improvements.

>>724631404
>I know, let's remake Phantasia for the SIXTH time!
Nah

>>724631379
Stabbing you in the back

>>724631271
>likes Atlus games non-ironically as every third worlder gorilla

>>724631261
No shut up stop showing proof that the game isn't censored and buy a switch!!!!

>>724626089 (OP)
i bought it for switch

Graces f did about 3.1k peak, for the record, and that was enough for them to consider the remaster projects worth continuing.

>>724631404
Why, Phantasia X has better combat than most 3-D games.

>>724626089 (OP)
Imagine if they just gave us Abyss like everyone wants
Bamco is fucking retarded

>>724631614
They are. Namco have already confiremed that there are at minimum 2 more remaster projects in the works and they're more than likely going to include Abyss and Hearts R.

>>724626089 (OP)
I swear if it wasn't for soulshit showelware asset flips Bamco would be bankrupt by now.

>>724626684
shit taste
I'll have you executed irl

>>724631664
Hearts R retranslated with 60fps combat and better assets would be nice.

Xillia is ass, and it also launched at midnight, which is double ass for numbers.

>>724631772
>shit taste
Xillia fans surely have. There's at least 8 good games released before it, why waste time replaying trash?

How about a “remaster” of sword of legendia? Whatever wii gimmicks they were planning can surely be replicated with switch joycons and/or a pc mouse?

>>724631081
kys you baiting muttnigger

>>724626089 (OP)
Many companies don't understand modern market prices nor economy, specially japanese ones.
They think that under the mask of "inflation" or "standard prices" they can ask you the same amount of money as RD2, Elden Ring and things like that for any garbage they put out.
And in an era of high competition, indies and AA, you can not, you can't ask the money you are asking for these kind of cheap products. You can't ask $80 for a cheap anime game done in 2 years when that's the same price the biggest AAA release at, most people are not that dumb.
In this case, no one is buying a fucking port of Xillia at $40. it's just a port of the ps3 game which has been sitting at $20 after the year it launched and goes on sale often. It should have been $40 for a game with both Xillia 1 and 2 at best.

They need to double down on designs like Magilou.

Where has this Xillia hate train come from? It's definitely no contender for best game but it's no where near the worst. The story and characters were decent and the combat was pretty good. The only major issues it has are the environments.

every time a new tales game releases on pc you guys say its shit

>>724629523
go back to r/CuckoldsInAction you faggot

>>724632190
The only good Tales games are the ones you haven't played.

>>724629627
I'm not paying $70 for a remaster

>>724626089 (OP)
>ruin Tales of Symphonia PC port with 30fps dogshit ersion
>ruin Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition with fucking up the voice acting of Yuri Lowell in English, they didn't even contact the OG voice actor because they thought he would be too expensive, meanwhile once the OG voice actor found out the game exists he said Yuri Lowell is his favourite character and he would have done it for the same price.
>Ruin Dark Souls 1 development time, game is unfinished because of it.
>Ruin Dark Souls 2 development time, force FromSoftware to also make PS3/Xbox360 versions, resulting in downgrade + game being unfinished.
>Ruin Dark Souls 3 development time, game is rushed and lower quality.
Bandai Namco is a cancer, I don't give them any money unless I am absolutely forced to, like with Armored Core VI. I pirated Elden Ring which is a garbage game and also Nightreign which was okay.

Fuck Bandai Namco, hope FromSoftware finally becomes independent in their publishing on Steam so Bandai Namco never gets any money from me again.
