Namco Bandai's new Tales mothership title is the Wii exclusive Tales of Graces. It has been in development for over two years already and is set for release in Japan in Winter, 2009.

Well gee I sure hope it doesn't suck!

good luck with that after Symphonia 2 =/

Symphonia 2 was thrown together with resources left over from the original Symphonia. Namco Bandai did not mean for it to be a "mothership" entry in the series the way with Tales of Graces. It's already had over two years of development behind it, more than Symphonia 2, with another half year to go.

That`s all well and good GL, but you`re forgetting that this is the Wii we`re talking about here.

The game is being designed around the Classic Controller (Pro), so no waving or motions.

Keep in mind the significance of a main entry in the Tales series, this is meant to be another Symphonia, Vesperia, or Abyss, not correlate with say FFX-2 from the Final Fantasy series.

That gives me faith that it wont be a complete wreck but...

To me that really doesn`t matter because the Tales games are generic and shit in 3D.

((Had to underline it because alot of you would go all fanboy on me..))

generic and shit eh? if you say so~

Yes, if I say so, because it was my opinion. They dont feel any different then say Star Ocean. The 2D Tales of games were unique.

Star Ocean 3 is that? the game atleast Symphonia was released before

because it doesnt play like Symphonia or Legendia at all

it's all about quality, not uniqueness.


The truly unique games usually go unnoticed anyway and their very talented developers go under or get eaten up by Activision...

This game is shaping up to look a lot better than Symphonia 2.

Well uniqueness and quality are based off of each other.
