Tales will undoubtedly be reduced to tears of what must be joy with the news of “Tales of Asteria”, the latest entry in Namco Bandai’s Tales series, and now targeted at the casual-centric mobile platforms of iOS and Android – finally introducing Tales gamers to the joys of microtransactions and social gaming.
The scarcely detailed PV:
The preview reveals it to be a crossover title featuring various franchise favourites, and as a non-“mothership” title its release will likely have no bearing on the next main Tales game.
If they don’t put too much money into development I’m sure they’ll get some profit out of it.
Also please tell me this isn’t a mothership title. Please please please.
ha-ha, japanese console market is dead
I’m not cringing by the fact that it’s a mobile game rather than it’s just another Tales crossover game. There’s already too many Tales in-series crossover games and all of them just turns out to have bland system and give or take identical character roster anyway.
Why does it upset you so much? Namco Bandai don’t care enough to translate these games anyway. And the dungeon series Tales crossover games were quite good, had to import 2 and 3 because Namco Bandai don’t care about us non Japanese.
It will be awesome when this whole mobile app bubble will burst.
The only RPGs I would like to see on mobile are Tactical RPGs.
I would have turn into such a useless geek if I had Disgaea on mobile in highschool…
