If only Namco-Bandai would put more effort into trying to make this series more popular in the West, the Tales Series could easily be one of their finest assets. They have to realize that simply having internet advertising is not going to work. They need to utilize television and social networking.
After all, Capcom put a lot of effort into increasing Monster Hunter's appeal in the West with the free game demo and advertisement campaigns. In the end, they have seen moderate success.
@Knowledgeseeker I know seriously,. For example, Tales of Symphonia did really well in the US. The main reason it's not well known is cuz NB keeps not releasing games, or not making any adds/publicity for them :[
@flamecrysta Well at least Namco-Bandai is making a couple of okay decisions this time. They are localizing Tales of Graces F and Tales of the Abyss 3DS, and they made a Tales Facebook account. The number of members is almost 10,000, which is not too bad. Now they just need to do some other stuff, such as present these games at E3, and it bugs me that I don't see either of these games on their so called presentation list right now. They need to show these games or they are asking to fail.
I liked Symphonia because of all the tricky puzzles making you go "WTF DOES IT WANT ME TO DO?!". And especially the careful timing *coughRenegade'sTrietBasecough*. Shocking the 2 Raybits on 2 panels was tough just to get the door open -.-
@DTY16 based on how old Tales of Destiny was at the time and how many units it already sold in its previous version, his death scene may not be seen as such a spoiler anymore.
i like Mutsumi Inomata 's character design more.
Kosuke Fujishima 's characters look too "plain".

@DTY16 What did he say?
If he said a lot, I am not surprised because "Tales of Destiny" is probably the most famous Tales game in Japan.

I personally find Symphonia to be the best. Along side vesperia.

The only thing worse than Symphonia is Tempest.

I'd say Symphonia was average. All those gay puzzles made the game real bad.
The best was totally Tales of the Abyss.
