I want to be excited, however, what are the chances Tales of Hearts getting translated? Bleh.
Excitement low unless we get an announcement localization. 
It would have been awesome to play Tales of Innocence... *shakes fist at Namco* On the TotW front... Kinda want. I played a bit of the first on PSP, but put it aside for other games. IT was a neat game to play in short bursts.

I'm really liking how ToH is looking.
I'm hoping NP tease from the last magazine is for this game. You know with the "Whole lot of Heart" thing.

I've made it a point to play every Team Destiny game regardless of moonspeak exclusivity, except for Rebirth (started it, got distracted, on my epic "to play" list). This will be no exception, import day one. I do not trust Hometek to bring this over, especially after blessing us with Radiant Mythology yet passing on Innocence. Good game Namco, good game.

As much as I'd love to add hate to SCEA, this has always been Hometek's call. They were apparently approached by Working Designs to localize Destiny 2 and XSEED to localize Rebirth and they would not allow it.Aeana said:

I still can't understand why Hometek's afraid of DS... there's literally a mountain of interesting imports they're just sitting on (Game Center CX, Taiko DS 1-2, Game Training, TOI, Famista DS, Quickspot 2, etc). And instead of any of that, we get NamPandas? :/

They sat out on the GBA until the VERY end, releasing 4 year old GBA games in English (Mr. Driller 2, Klonoa 2, Tales of Phantasia) after the DS had been released. I can guarantee their ass-backwards thinking is that Tales DS games are being held back by whatever likely exaggerated expectations they had for Phantasia GBA's sales (unless that was all Nintendo's bill since they published it).jarrod said:Dunno about DS, but they seem to apply to Hometek.

I really want to be excited for Hearts, but I really can't see it being localized. So, it'll be another Tales game I want to play but never will.

Get Tales of Destiny II (Eternia) for PS1/PSP if you're interested. It's the last/best one available in English.Y2Kev said:

Technically true, but Team Destiny's games build off of Eternia's engine (with mostly the same staff, if I recall).jarrod said:
Tales used 3D movies along the anime ones since ToD PS1, this is only the first time they dare use it for characters as well (with predictable results). The conference article implies there may be two versions of the game, one anime and one CG, just another way of Namco not making up its mind and try to doubledip instead.duckroll said:
The ToE staff pretty much formed Team Destiny. The one notable exception was Hasegawa who built pretty much a totally new team around Team Symphonia (there are plenty people shared between both teams though, some disappeared after ToS to reappear in ToS-R or appear as part of Creek & River in TotA). It's not that hard to check staff lists.

I wouldn't be surprised either way, but there's definitely a feeling of natural familiarity and progression from Eternia to the later 2D games (Destiny 2, Rebirth, Destiny R). You don't get that same feeling from the Team Symphonia games, the Alfa System games or Legendia, even if it's minor nuances that separate them in that regard.kiryogi said:

The latter has nothing to do with the former: one is motivated by Namco's unwillingness to negotiate with SCEA over their policies (at the time of ToD2's release, the game would not normally have been allowed on PS2 unless sold at a budget price), while the other is motivated by Namco's across-the-board policy refusal to allow any of their games to be localized in America by another company, regardless of circumstance.

Symphonia and Phantasia were still localized by Namco, they were just published by Nintendo.Case said:

This doesn't apply to Europe, I assume.Princess Skittles said:

I've heard Nintendo played a large part in getting Symphonia over here either way, not sure if it's true though.jarrod said:

To Namco, it seems like they think any game that's not a Narikiri(sp?) Dungeon or Radiant Mythology game is mainline. Oh, and ToS:KoR/DotNW, that's not mainline either. They consider stuff like Innocence and Legendia to be mainline.
Personally, I think most people consider Phantasia, Destiny, Eternia, Destiny 2, Symphonia, Rebirth, Abyss, and Vesperia as the real mainline games.
