Nintendo might've handled production there too I guess (seems likely as Hometek's pretty wary of GBA inventory risks) but Namco still handheld the localization iirc. Symphonia was entirely Hometek though.Jiggy37 said:Edit:
What was the case with Phantasia on GBA? I too had thought Nintendo handled Symphonia, but I guess not--yet ToP, I know, at the very least had Nintendo inserts in the box. So what happened there?
Got it. Thanks.jarrod said:Nintendo might've handled production there too I guess (seems likely as Hometek's pretty wary of GBA inventory risks) but Namco still handheld the localization iirc. Symphonia was entirely Hometek though.
jarrod said:Anyway, my guesses for the new games are...
Sword of Legendia (Wii) Scamco internal R&D
Tales of the Abyss (Wii) Tales Studio Team Symphonia
Tales of Rebirth (PSP) Tales Studio Team Mobile
Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 4 (DS) Alfa System
1-3 mobile games by various developers
Team Symphonia handled the PS2 Symphonia port themselves... I'd expect this to be a similar setup. We'll probably see a new Wii game from them then a year later (Sword of Symphonia? Tales of the Abyss sequel? Tales of Phantasia remake?).Firestorm said:I don't think they'd put Team Symphonia on a port project (or "remake" I guess). I'm just hoping that Abyss sequel rumour comes true >.>; I just saw some of the little videos I recorded while playing, and I got hyped =(
Considering how PS2 chugged on Symphonia, I doubt PSP could even handle the game as is... basically everything would need to be radically scaled back to Radiant Mythology levels of geometry/scope, it'd be a terrible conversion.cvxfreak said:Man, it's kind of weird thinking of how the PSP may get Symphonia and Rebirth in the next year or two. Feels like yesterday when those games came out. :lol
This is correct. Namco localized all of them. Symphonia, Legendia, Phantasia, Abyss. Phantasia was a different producer than the others, though, if I recall.jarrod said:Nintendo might've handled production there too I guess (seems likely as Hometek's pretty wary of GBA inventory risks) but Namco still handheld the localization iirc.

And you should know eh John? Your name is right there in the credits for Symphonia after all.john tv said:This is correct. Namco localized all of them. Symphonia, Legendia, Phantasia, Abyss. Phantasia was a different producer than the others, though, if I recall.
In hopes that nobody will ever say NoA somehow paid for ToS to get localized exclusively again.ethelred said:What's the point in saying that? I imagine if he had wanted to toot his horn, as it were, he'd have done so.
The Symphonia PS2 port served as the base for Abyss. If there's any truth in Team Symphonia doing a Wii game (like that JF rumour indicates) an Abyss port back to the Symphonia GC engine makes sense as preparation.Firestorm said:Hm. Didn't know that. What a waste of resources then =( I'd like them to make a new game.
jko said:on another note, why is Tales of Tempest not being released in the US??
ohhhh...i see. thought i sold pretty good in japan.SailorDaravon said:Because by all accounts it's mediocre and short at the very best and considered flat out horrible by most? It dropped to $14.90 at P-A really really fast and has stayed there.

Depends on whether or not Nintendo really want TotT.jko said:on another note, why is Tales of Tempest not being released in the US??
Mr. Pointy said:So, on the scale of MEGATONs, how high does the recent Tales of Fandom Vol. 2 announcement rank?
I like how john tv's following post reads after you edited the OP's post.Dragona Akehi said:

zoukka said:Gotta hate the Tales-series.
Crappy characters (who look like crap)
Crappy/Cheesy dialogue
The same ****ing battle-system and skills in every entry...
But im a FF-whore now so im not judging anyone. A little improvements would be appreciated though for the next Tales.
Magicpaint said:So basically you came here to troll the series. My, how unique and special you really are! :|
zoukka said:Is criticism trolling ? Or do i have to explain why the simple anime-faced architype-characters suck ass ?
But dont get me wrong. I have completed Tales of Eternia and it was moderate fun. For travels. I played Tales of Symphony also but couldnt finish it due to the horrific plot and characters. Gave me nightmares...
No, that's calling a spade a spade.zoukka said:Isn`t that trolling ?
:lol
