Tales of Series is Dead...

symphonia 2 still makes me angry

Xilliabros...................

>Legendia
Holyshit it's awful and long
>Tempest
It's short and awful
>Dawn of the New World
It's awful and ruins the previous game
>Xillia
Awful maps and no content
>Xillia 2
Recycled awful maps and mute protagonist
>Zestiria
It's awful despite the OST
>Arise
It's awful despite the graphics
They messed up 7 times at least. Not counting Graces Wii, even.
It had a good run.

>>724628482 (OP)
I havent played Tales series except for Arise which I got on sale.

The game is ruined by the AI which is probably one of the worst I have ever seen in a video game and by the borig boss fights which have massively inflated HP making it a snoozefest of clicking the same 4 buttons over and over again as your party members are set to "Do Nothing" so they don't get wiped. Extremely frustrating.

Loved Shionne

>they didn't censor the hebe panties in the remaster
TALES IS ALIVE.

>>724628482 (OP)
yeah

>>724628778
Is the tiny loli in Xillia 2 playable or she's just there to make you horny?

>>724633454
Elle isn't playable she's there to give you 15 million gald of debt and make you want to be a father.
But in the postgame you get model swap costumes and can technically play as anyone even the final boss.

>>724633605
I'm sorry Elle, I want to be your husband, not your father...

I love Debt system

Sex with Sophie (14) (1000)

Did Graces f remaster do well?

>>724634968
Okay i guess. But you shouldnt look at steam charts like most of retards here

>>724628482 (OP)

Bro we got Two weeks of 500+ replies of Graces thread but now Its fucking NOTHING. What happened ?

>>724634421
Can you sell Elle to help repay the debt, haha...

>>724635151
That's because nobody has posted Elize panties shots yet. You will get thousands replies.

>>724635068
Ah damn, this and Graces are my most wanted games this year besides ZeldaMusou

>>724634968

How is Xillia censored?

Why did the last thread get pruned?

>>724635736
what would you call this?

>>724635151
Graces is kino Xillia is meh

>>724635796
So what's censored? According to >>724632530 they didn't censor panties.

>>724635856
Xillia lacked costumes, it's fine now.

>>724635879
>it has to be panties to be considered censorship

>>724635914
Does Elize have good sexy costumes like swimsuit and playboy bunny?

>>724635914
Xillia has LOTS of licensed costumes. The """"""Remaster""""" remove all of those

>>724636015
Oh no I can't dress up as whatever shitty anime was popular at the time

>>724636007
Don't care about pipe, I care about lewd content. If there's no camera or panties censorship it's safe and based.

>>724636015
I know it sounds silly but this is honestly a dealbreaker for me, I'm a fan of Im@s and considering Bamco owns the property what reason is there to cut it out?
What reason is there to cut anything?
Why would I pay money for less than 100% of the game when it emulates fine?

Should I get the remastered

>>724636154
if the pipe is such a nothing burger, why change it then?
let people decide. give them both the beard and the beard with pipe. removing things is censorship, regardless if you care or not.

>>724636301
See >>724632530

>>724636328
>regardless if you care or not.
And I don't, so I'm buying it.

>>724636015
English version never had none of that. So you get 50 free costumes in ToX Remastered. More than Abyss and Symphonia, lol.

>>724636328
I'd love to see an experiment where some bastard releases a "Director's Cut" version of whatever JRPG it is that costs five bucks more but is fully uncensored compared to the default release.
Just to see how many nerds are willing to put their money where their mouth is.

I want to remind everyone:
PLAY. AS. JUDE. FIRST. TIME.
His exclusive side is important to the story. Milla is just bonus character stuff that will leave you confused

>>724636401
well, i can't stop you.
it's still bad though

>>724636328
>if the pipe is such a nothing burger, why change it then
Is there a name for this retarded fallacy that smoothbrains love to post as if it reinforces their point?

>>724636439
making it more expensive isn't something they should do. that's still pissing on the fanbase.
i would still rather get the uncensored version.

>>724636439
Most of us only care about sexiness being removed, a pipe is a nothingburger and has nothing to do with DEI shit.

I wantnanother mc like velvet

If i cant ryona Elize ill skip

>>724636630
Velvet was just Guts with boobs

>>724636630
I don't. Male protagonists are the best.

I'm pretty sure the middle finger will be removed in all regions now

>>724636601
>a pipe is a nothingburger and has nothing to do with DEI shit.
It's not, it's still a tyrannical imposition against our free will and ability to engage and share in open ideas, done in a malicious and manipulative attempt to hide the existence of tobacco as if it's appearance in this random video game has any bearing on someones willingness to pick up the habit in their real life or not.
It's both a foolish and evil act, regardless of if sex is involved or not, it's just that few people are willing to die on the hill of defending smoking.

>>724632530
it looks black enough to say that it's just a black void.
maybe why they didn't change it.

>>724636707
Yeah and I think that was like the coolest thing ever since Guts

>>724636680
You can, and you can even see her JS panties when she falls down.

Rinwell is cute for 20 year old woman

>>724636630
Velvet was just John Wick but a doting oneesan.

>>724636760
You can also see Elize's panties and they're white.

>>724636753
You'd still pick something to moan even with the pipe because it's easier to blame a game instead of your own shitty decisions to be a Discord troon failure.

>>724636601
again, if it's such a nothing burger, why not give the people the option to have both represented in the game?
pipe + beard and beard only

>>724636328
>if the pipe is such a nothing burger, why change it
Because it's Japanese LAW to not show underage people smoking. Jude and Leia are 15, Elize is 12. There's no law against panty shots.

>>724636707
>Velvet was just Guts with boobs
And?

>>724636920
nice, at least that's in the game

>>724636931
if the visuals are worse or bad translation, for example.
but those are all valid complains. why would you be ok with anything worse than the OG in the first place?

>>724637183
Magilou was the only good thing about that game

>>724628778
>Zestiria
>It's awful
midwit opinion

>>724637005
Not only is it not a real pipe, it's just a depiction of a pipe, but it's also a depiction of a fake prop pipe that isn't actuallly functional anyway.

>>724636415
The English version did have the Idolm@ster set originally, but it's removed now.

>>724637317
Doesn't matter, it's a smoking pipe in the mouth of a kid. You can't circumvent law by saying "ackhsually that five year old's AK47 is a prop!". It's a pipe, you can equip it on kids, and games are far more regulated than they were 14 years ago. It's not rocket science.

>>724636801
no SINGLE of her outfit has a panties.
Tales of Arisecencorillia

>>724637908
Seriously? Is it spat or void?

>start playing Arise
>immediately encounter Shionne spats under white dress
>immersion completely ruined
>learn that there's a mod that fixes this specifically
Thank God for mods.

>Milla
Falls for a 15 year old

>Velvet
Wants to fuck the reincarnation of her dead sister’s unborn child

Who would win?

Playing this again after maybe a decade I'm surprised at how Milla called Alvin's bullshit pretty much since the very first minute, like why would a mercenary work for free.
Also her mannerism is really cute, like she's balancing between being naive and cool really well. I remember her being great but she's actually even better.

Finally.... after 6 months of delay.... im gonna finish Graces once and for all.....

>>724637303
Enjoying a shitty game is neither personality nor good taste.

>>724638857
neither is being a retarded contrarian

>>724639101
So why do you pretend Zestiria is good?

>>724637183
I never beat berseria. I should give it another try.

>>724639160
Unlike Arise it has panties.

>>724640063
Both still are trash, nonetheless

>>724628482 (OP)
They should put both a hebe, a loli, and an ara-ara in the party of the next game to make up for every other game not holding up the past 3 gens.

>>724638701
FIN.
I forgot the gameplay completely and it look 5 elixirs and 1 all divide to beat Lambda at moderate lol.
It only took 8 months to complete
Nobody dies. Everyone living happily ever after

Maybe ill finish Lineage and Legacies later when i have other time

>>724640192
Techincally Arise has panties but no one cares about Shionne since shes a hag

>>724643318
Finally

>>724638193
Spats and Bloomers. Even Im@s and Chinese dress ones has spats. Rita costume she wears black spats instead of black panties. Towel is black void. Really weird since Shionne wears panties on some of her outfits. I guess its Bamco listening to ameritard demands again. But somehow they able to give Edna a detailed white panty

>>724628482 (OP)
Edna was mid

There, I said it.

Modern world's token Loli

>>724643318
lineage and legacies is the fun part

Will they ever top Berseria?

>>724644485
How long to complete ? The Base game is 80 to 100 hours to complete

>>724644158
Towel or Rinwell?

>>724644606
It's only like 4 new dungeons and 2-3 (or maybe 4?) rehashed dungeons.

is Abyss worth playing?

Safe loli

>>724628482 (OP)
I don't care.
Btw the only thing I know about the series is that one dogfucking doujinshi. It's pretty good.

>>724644158
On Steam forums they confirmed panties are the same as the original in Tales of Xillia remaster.

Not even close, Graces F is 35hrs to finish + 15hrs for F arc.
I take my time with games and finished Persona 5 with 110hrs. Cold Steel III, IV and Reverie were 100~105hrs.

I played most Tales games ONCE and I remember most of them all, I played Trails games multiple times, and I always forget 80-90% of it. roflcopter.

>>724646619
Im slow at competing games. So F arc might take 30 to 40 hours for me. Thanks anon. Maybe someday ill finish it

>>724646046
Reminder Tales of Arise has official nude models even with vagina (although its only textured). This is Rinwell official body. She might be overgrown for 14yo but its still petite

>>724646356
Only acceptable game after Abyss, Vesperia and Graces, sadly. Vita games were good.
You're free to seethe, Arise toddler.

>>724645324
kisara's ass was wasted

FUCK YOU IM STILL MAD

>>724646878
>Tales of Arise has official nude models even with vagina (although its only textured)
Bullshit. This is 110% a mod.

>>724647145
Its from the towel costume. They only remove the towel

>>724647259
I don't believe you, but I'm going to call your bluff and verify. Japs are slaves to Cero and them having the balls to sneak this in would be too based for them.

>>724647436
Its impossible to remove the towel in game anyway so its okay

>>724646878
I mean this is a normal body for her age but still disappointing when the younger characters had much better body type back in the days. Elle being the perfect body type.

Upcoming remasters

>Confirmed
Xillia 2

>Highly Likely
Abyss (Current series director says its his favorite Tales game, Scamco filed a new trademark for it earlier this year)

>Could happen
Phantasia (Series 30th Anniversary coming up. Why not rerelease the game that started it all)

Destiny (Current director has said on stream he wants more people to play Destiny. One of the most popular games in Japan)

>Probably not
Eternia (No reason in particular game just doesnt have nearly as much cultural impact)
Destiny 2 (Unless they remaster Destiny first it aint happening)
Rebirth (No official translation means a ton more work)
Innocence (see above, also lower quality game that was originally for handhelds is a tougher sell)
Hearts R (There is a mobile version of it already in Japan that they could port to PC or consoles but its a pretty tough sell and you can very easily tell the lower quality of the game since it was original for handhelds)

>No way
Legendia (game needs a full on remake desu)

>>724647843
>Phantasia
it would be based in they released the psp phantasia in english finally. it'll probably be the ps1 version though which is ass

>>724647843
I still believe we got a full on Remake of PZestiria

>>724644847
One of my favorite games period.
I hope in the remaster they add voices to the skits in english.

>>724647131
IF SHE WANTS TO BE AN ANIMAL SO BAD SHE CAN DIE LIKE ONE

>>724647843
They probably aren't going to port 2D games. They are a tougher sell unless you say it's an """indie""" and a "love letter to Chrono Trigger" or something.
On the contrary, I can see Hearts R and Innocence R being ported. They came out after Xillia, after all, and have a more dynamic battle system. Legendia still isn't getting ported, though.

>>724647131
Should have let me team up with her and help her kill Anise.

>>724647843
I love how Zelos overtook and replaced Colette as the obvious partner for Lloyd.

>>724647843
how about a new game or are we not doing those any more

>>724647843
Hearts R is the best game after Abyss Vesperia and Graces.

>>724637183
I want to fool around with Magilou

>>724648287
There are a lot of PS1 and PS2 2-D games on Steam.

>>724648661
They said in that most recent interview a new one is in the works buts its still gonna be a while for that

>>724643318
Good job anon. I still need to get back to doing the post-game stuff

>>724648997
That's why I fucking hate modern gaming, it shouldn't take 10 years between game releases

At least it is coming out

>>724648661
In a recent interview the series producer said that he wants a "bit more time" before announcing a new game.
I'd say it means it'll be announced next year. 5-6 years between games sounds like a believable development cycle these days.

Say the fucking h word already.

Song 4 U kicking in for the finale gives it extra points, yeah

>>724651421
Bump of Chicken's vocalist is out of tune. Great track, otherwise.

Tales of Hebephillia

So besides the pipe, did they alter any dialogues and/or skits to appease the "modern audience"?

>>724653723
based

>>724652139
Bump of Chicken is TERRIBLY out of tune in that song, it's so bad that I avoided them for years until realizing they're usually not that bad

Terrible production

>>724655794
Yeah, their other music are usually good.

>>724646307

Hanal

>>724656297
Like you were told, half of the cast are underage and showing literal kids smoking is a no-go.
There's no checkmate here, just your mental retardation incapable of comprehending the reason behind that cosmetic's censorship.

>>724654501
Supposedly. Otherwise there wouldn't be a point in them stating:
>Some expressions have been adjusted from the original work to suit age-appropriate audiences.

>>724649112
>it shouldn't take 10 years between game releases
Arise came out in 2021.
The next mainline game is more than likely absolutely going to come out before 2031, Retard-kun.

>>724659556
You fucking nigger, obviously that means that the pipe isn't a nothingburger according to the government. So what kind of a fucking retard claims that it is? Go disagree with the government on how things should be in the real world and find out what happens.

Xillia textures in 4K and constant 60fps/120fps are so satisfying. Finally it doesn't feel like a late PS2 game anymore, lol.

>>724647843
>Rebirth (No official translation means a ton more work)
Tbf, the same goes for Phantasia.
They would totally have to come up with a new translation because the GBA version's is ass.
It is more important and popular than Rebirth still though.

Why do anons always imply the girl in OP is some sort of anal demon? Its weird.

>>724660279
it's because they're fucking immature assholes (real reason) (lore accurate)

>>724661275
10k sales isn't too bad for a remaster that's not that popular.

>>724661657
1k Peak players compared to Graces F's 3.5k is pretty sad though. Unless there's some delay for it updating.

>>724661737
I mean people here seem to imply xillia is less popular. Personally I'm more interested in it because Elize is sexier and younger than Sophie for me.

>>724661275
>>724661737
>>724661657
I feel like Scamco didnt put nearly as much effort into advertising it as they did Graces. I forgot it was even releasing until like 3 days ago. Dumping out on a random thursday afternoon probably didnt help either

>>724661949
Sophie doesn't age though. And by that logic, you should be going for Zestiria, which has the true sexiest girl.

>>724662052
Sophie breasts are kinda too big... Meanwhile Elize is just so pretty...

>>724661275
Xillia is killing the series for the third time, lmao.
Explanation is simple, people were mad they didn't bundle both together. Now you can bet that most potential customers will wait till it and Xillia 2 are 50% off (or more).

>>724661949
Xillia was always a mixed bag, it's the FFXIII of Tales. Internet revisionists or people that started with it was a great entry.
It never was, it was a huge let down after most PS1/PS2 titles or Vesperia and Graces.
You can bet people praising and asking for a FFXIIl Remaster would also be surprised if a remaster of it bombed hard. Because it 100% would.

>>724662052
>Sophie doesn't age
I just finished the base game like 6 hours ago and you see Cake Sophie in the very end of the scene

Damn why did you mention it, now I notice the hairstyle is bad... NOOOOOOOOOOO

>>724662581
>it's the FFXIII of Tales
Would that make Zestiria, XV? And Arise XVI ie a game with pretty graphics but little else. Regardless, way more Tales fans like Xillia than FF fans like XIII.

>>724663041
Hairstyles are seperate from costumes. You can still use her original hairstyle or any other costume's hairstyle with it

>>724663330
I see, that's good. Her original hair style is kino. JS in swimsuit are so good...
Also unrelated but can you give outfits to Elle in Xillia 2 too?

>>724663412
Nope.

Never ever ;_;

Tried messing around with the settings and it's either too loud or too quiet.

If they think I am buying remasters they are out of their minds.

>>724628778
Tales series was never good. Playing Kingdom Hearts after Symphonia on Gamecube made me realize that Tales has always been the same mediocre game, with a mediocre fanbase that will justify their series being good when it's never truly evolved, and it only has good designs and that is it.

>>724668129
The fucking irony of saying this shit when you like Condom Farts

>>724668129

>>724668129
Only KH people care is II, so it's in a much worse spot than Tales. At least Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia, Xillia and Berseria are praised and talked about all the time.

Who is the stinkiest Tales girl?
