Even though this rumor is crazy dubious, if we are getting the Wii version, it had better have all the PS3 extras.
To make us wait this long for the now extremely inferior version of the game would be insufferable. Though, this is Namco we're talking about. :/
Anyway, not going to put any faith towards this unless something more credible pops up. Been burned too many times by hope that we'll finally be getting some Tales games in North America, only to be crushed.

What were the numbers?
Also I hope it's true but I'm not holding my breath. Also yeah he was deleting comments.

The weird thing is is the KH3 article of his he acknowledges the things he says are just rumored...but the ToG article he says it like it's fact. Don't know why.
The rumour does not make sense. I could see the point of not releasing the game when the localization costs are too high compared to the estimated sales of either a Wii or PS3 version. But if Namco goes to the trouble of expanding and localizing the Wii game, they might as well do the PS3 version too since it can use the same localization assets. Since the bottom has dropped out of 3rd party Wii game sales, they'd probably sell more copies of the PS3 version too.
On the other hand, Namco has stopped making sense a long time ago, so I

I could see this making sense if Nintendo helped out with the localization. ToG had a bundle and an Iwata Asks similar to SW3 last year and Nintendo brought over SW3. Wii's 2011 lineup isn't too packed and if Nintendo got out Xenoblade and The Last Story in 2011, another RPG like ToG can help too.

It's 300 on Evil to unlock Chaos
I'm currently at 77 hours, trying to do some quests and when they're done, I'll finally begin the Future Arc. Then I'll proceed right up to the final boss, and it's gonna be battle titles time ;_; I don't really look forward to spamming attacks mindlessly.

127:01 and still on my first playthrough :lol
It's already been 26 hours since I started grinding for the remaining battle titles I need, I'm really in good shape right now, what I really just need before moving on is the "do X tens of thousands of this and that". I'm so close to getting all titles, I hope that in 25 more hours I'll finally be able to go back to ten years before, so I can go to Zone Cage and beat floors 2+.
It's a damn shame that some of the counters reset even when you use the grade shop to port the usage counts I'm really close for some of 'em I think, and as there's no way to know for sure, I really just have to continue grinding until I get all of them. Don't want to lose the progress I made naturally over the course of the game...
And when I'm free from grinding, I'll try and complete the book before restarting a new game with grade shop enabled...and try a "perfect run" to get all Skits and every sidequests.
But damn, it's so good I just can't stop playing ;_;

So, you can transfer your future save back into the regular game? I've been grinding for 20 hours before taking on the future.InternHertz said:127:01 and still on my first playthrough :lol

that after pissing off Lambda by ripping out its soul and having her underlings killing what it regarded as a father, she was going to let it inside her body to become a goddess and rebuild Phodra? That seems ind of stupid to me because... Lambda hates her.

My first playthrough went until 199 hours 4 minutes
I'm in my second playthrough at a bit under 20 hours...beat the final boss of the present arc, I'm now looking for skits, I need 7 and then I can go into the future arc.
I did every sidequest also, so for now my perfect run is really going well Everything but skits is at 100% \o/
I only need one trophy, the very final boss in under 1 minute but it'll be a piece of cake!

Got the game as a present over the holidays, put about 5 hours into it so far. Haven't had much time to dig in, but I wasn't really feeling the gameplay in the childhood arc. It got waaaaaaay better after the actual game started, and special attacks could actually be used. The story's pretty funny and quirky, but the characters remind me of generic Tales crap honestly. Music is awfully bland. Towns are really empty (lol Wii port?). It's fun though. Should be able to put more time into it soon. Hope it picks up fast.
One thing I've noticed about the game is how much more cinematic it is compared to all previous Tales games. There's a lot of direction in the cutscenes, and camera angle changes, pans, etc which indicate heavy storyboarding. Definitely a step up from ToV in terms of not being a static talking head cutscene. Oh and the skits ROCK. Tons of animation, and they're pretty funny. No nonsense filler skits either... so far!

Yeah the childhood arc can be a real drag gameplay wise. Although people liked the characters more when they were kids. It's actually partly why I'm having trouble starting off Graces F. Having to go thru that arc again, but at least it's relatively short.
And you're absolutely right about the cutscene direction. I was debating this with Bebpo before, but he didn't think it was anything too special.

I don't mind the story in the childhood arc, but even then it was starting to drag on towards the end. Oh well, at least we got TIGER FESTIVAL! :lol
Anyway, now that I'm actually playing ToG, the decision to have the same people handle the cutscenes in ToX make perfect sense now. If the aim is to make Tales more similar to what people expect from 3D JRPGs these days, it's definitely a step in the right direction cinematically.

Of course it would be Karma. I would say that Ring a Bell (ToV) was pretty good as well as TAO (ToL).
For spinoffs, the RM games have pretty good OPs. Flyaway and With You both from BACK-ON were pretty good.
Karma is still my favorite, and I agree that White Wishes comes close (Starry Heavens as well for me.) Eternia's opening was also one of my favorites and I really liked Narikiri Dungeon remake's OP too.farnham said:
What would people say is the worst Tales OP? I'd have to say Destiny 2 (PS2) myself....."YOU DON'T NEED A FANCY CAR LIKE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE", though I admittedly like the opening up to that point.

The song kinda sucks but the animation for ToD2's OP is so beautiful. The worst is Tempest imo by far.FSLink said:
