Tales fans are a concentrated bunch, but I think the number 1 problem was that people took "#jrpgvita" to mean unlocalized Vita games, and not just JRPGs you want on Vita. SCEA's Third Party Production people were more clear in their intent, and it doesn't look like Tales made a huge splash.
They butchered Hearts with Hearts R. Avoid like the plague.
I played the superior Tales of Hearts, much rather have Innocence R which seems to be superior to the DS version.
It's nice that they listened to their audience.
It's a shame their audience wanted this.
I think a more likely scenario is Hearts releasing, bombing (bombing by Vita standards, so bombing hard) and #JRPGVita becoming no more than a forgotten hashtag.
What's wrong with it?
And now that I look it seems Over My Dead Body 2 isn't out yet anyway, though I guess that can be #jrpgvita2.The audience wanted games that currently dont exist, like Type 0 vita and Valkyria Chronicles 3 vita. They also wanted a game that actually exists. They choose the possible option.

Hearts R models are an abomination.
Rrrrrgh! I have tried to come to terms with the idea of this (and Innocence) never being localized in any way shape or form, but this makes me want to get my hopes up! I mean it's Tales! I can't help it! I want this! I need this! Please be true!PLEASE!
You could take screencaps of Persona 4 Golden and it might still come out ahead of ToH.
Budget aside (obviously Uncharted is going in with a bit more behind it), but I really really really wished Tales games could add a filter or two to "glossy" over some of their bland graphics. What am I saying? Yes. I love bloom effects!

How is that any different than when Shahid fields inquiries about Indie Game X? People sent him those in the hopes of getting them ported, and localized. Based on what Adam Boyes once said, it seems Sony might even localize the PSP builds (yikes) rather than go the full distance.
You could compare the original version of FFX to most PS2 games and it'd come out notably ahead. It and MGS2 were just crazy good looking for that system's library.FFXHD looks better than Hearts R.
There's a fan translation of the DS version of Tales of Innocence.
What's interesting to me though that Bamco is going all Tales crazy recently in the West. Tales is hitting the big time.
btw I don't think this has anything to do with Shahid and is more of a Namco wanting more money thing
I dunno, this is the same Namco that refused to release the Vita version of One Piece Pirate Warriors 2 in NA/EU despite going to the effort of localising the game, and somehow decided to make Dragon Ball Z on Vita a digital-only release in America so nobody would know it even existed. Namco doesn't give a shiiiiit about the Vita outside of Japan.
That's cool, but... why Hearts and not Innocence?
I'll still buy it

whats peoples beef with ToH?
what makes it such a bad game?
You'll like this game because you've never played the original DS version. If you did, you'd probably not like this remake very much.Innocence isn't what you can call a good Tales game.
Just wondering about ToHR, if I've never played the original, will I still like this game?
No, it's not Hearts that people hate, it's Hearts R that people hate. I'm honestly surprised at the positive comments in regards to the DS version on GAF.whats peoples beef with ToH?
what makes it such a bad game?
Seems major complaint is from people who preferred the 2D DS version, and weren't happy with the conversion to 3D or the design choices involved with that shift. Judging from other responses/feedback, it sounds like a fairly well received game for those that never played the DS one.what makes it such a bad game?
Is the story worse in R?
