With the new Generation of Tales Games right around the corner, I've decided to being about some Tales Of discussion into UPN. Wildly popular in Japan, this series has seen some moderate success in the West, yet, is somewhat famous for reserving it's remakes for Japan, creating discontempt among many loyal fans they have managed to gain the the U.S. and Europe. However, far better than most JRPGs in the market, the Tales Of series has excellent stories, Battle Systems, and unique character casts make Tales Of something to watch out for as Namco Bandai looks to expand it's franchiese in the West.

The first front that Namco Bandai wishes to take on is the Tales fo Graces F front. Acclaimed in Japan, the newest Tales Of game for the PS3 is looking to make the big splash in the West.

This series also features some titles well known to fans, such as Tales of Symphonia, Tales of the AByss, and Tales of Vesperia, so whether you're a new gamer to the series, ot a veteran, feel free to join in and tell some of your best experiences with Tales Of.

Also, it is worth noting that Tales of Vesperia (PS3) is currently undergoing Fan-Translation (http://talesofvesperia.net/), which gives a good hint of how far fans are willing to go in order to play these games.

I beat Tales of Symphonia, which took forever. I never did a redo because the New Game+ bonuses made the game way too easy or I felt like I was repeating my last game...

I liked how the game had a little achievement system in Titles, before they had Xbox achievements. Some were actually pretty tricky IIRC. Like open all treasure chests and such.

Yeah, Titles were something that actually made you go out of your way to complete the game 100%. But they were a real pain to get. There was this title for Zelos where you had to talk to all Female NPCs in the game with his 'Personal' Skill attached, and another for Genis where you had to avoid using Gels until you defeated Pronyma for the first time, in the Fooji Mts.

The all ladies title was my mission for a while lol. Zelos was one of my favorite characters in that game.
