A blurry image of the report also shows Arche Klein (Tales of Phantasia), Veigue Lungberg (Tales of Rebirth), Guy Cecil (Tales of the Abyss) and Cless Alvein (Tales of Phantasia). Can’t figure out what is the release date yet (the first game was announced in June and got released in December), we’ll have to wait for clearer image or next week’s Weekly Famitsu for more information. You can find out what our reviewer and big Tales of fan Victor has to say about the first game in this review.

But, an examination of plot is pretty subjective and it's not helped by the fact that I've been too pampered by some kick-arse RPG stories (aka "Persona 3") and the likes on my PS2 during this review. If I offedned a Tales of fan, my apologies. But seriously, TOTW just doesn't rate quite up there esp. in terms of storyline, in my opinion of couise ;D I supposed the word “paper-thin” can be a tad too harsh for some.

Sure, if you sat there and played the whole game in one sitting (which would take a LONG time), it would get repetitive. That happens with a LOT of games. And especially when you breeze through games concentrating on fanservice and character customization the whole time, you tend to ignore the actual storyline, and play so you can advance to the next area where there are more characters, equipment, etc. I'm not saying the story is perfect, which seems the premise today that if a game's story does not solve world hunger or something while still being appealing to children or young adults, it is deemed "thin storyline" or "just another RPG". Excuse me for my extremely long sentences.

I suppose TOTW's strength (stemming from its non-focus on plot and probably the extremely good translation job) is the ability to cater to demographics across the globe. We do have to give credit to the developer for being able to do that. Another reason why the uninitiated have to pick this baby up and give it a try if they haven't already done so.

Any games made by the US ( excluding HALO, Star Wars, Assassin Creed, Mass Effect games are good) but anything else it S#@%?! Because when games came from different countries to the US they edit to a point that doesn't make sense/ soo corny for example: say youre playing a anime related game that is T for Teen that a underage ( age 14-16 year old) girl wearing very adult colthes. Ok the game is made so you hear it still in japan with a good score in gameplay, story, ect. you buy it from there and you love it. Ok, one year had passed since you bought the game from japan, but you heared the same game came to the US with the same thing as the orginal japanese game and you buy it so can add to your collection but end up dispointed because you found out that the US has edit everything like the girl's age has canged to unkown or her outfit has been chaged to antisexy and the story doesn't make sense?? my point is the US version of the games that we liked to the point that we went it to Hell's fireplace as firewood. Note: if you disagree or just dont like my choice of words just send me a email. I love anything from Tales of series, i think its the best; Tale of the World that Japan made.
