3D? Not what I was hoping for, but of course I'll wait to play the game before I judge it. They'd just better make the Combo Command available from the beginning this time!

When I saw it I didn't like the character designs... and its in 3D... things are looking that this be the first Tales game that I'll completely pass.
I always thought that Namco will stick to tradition! Grrr... Its all Nintendo's fault!
Maybe I'll just play Tales of Fandoms... errr... yeah... That's it.

Hold on there... I might be wrong, but I believe that article mentioned something in lines of "Tales of Destiny" series will continue on Playstation brand (probably on PS2), while this new game will follow "Tales of Phantasia". So we might luck out(?) and get 2 different Tales games this time. But for some reason, I highly doubt even new PS2 version will remain on 2D like old Tales games....

The "Tales of Phantasia" one is for the GBA... its a port of the SNES version with a few extras... The "Tales series" one is a different game from that one.

Yes, but look at what it says under the red "Tales Series" line...

well, I never expected this game to be 2d abyway, the 2d in videogames is almost dead, actually, so it wouldn't be a wise choice for Namco if they want to sell the game.
And since the Tales saga is focused in character interaction and addictive battles, I can't wait to see the characters and the battle system (presumably the battles will be like Star Ocean anyway). I wonder who's the character designer this time.
And saying that a game won't be good because it's in 3d... they didn't ruined Metal Gear, did they? it just depends on how well it's programmed.

Oh, there... Damn. I was skipping over the Gamecube section. Thanks for correcting me.
I'm not sure how good the character interaction can be when the characters don't actually look deep though. But its just about the same feeling I had when I first saw TM3 screens anyhow.

Thank you for the vote of confidence. I thought I misread it while getting too caught up on all these excitements... (Namco-made StarFox! 2 new GBA Klonoa games!)
To summarize what was reported by GameWatch,
New Tales of ???? for GC will be continuing on the Tales of Phantasia line
Tales of Phantasia for GBA will be a port of original Super Famicom version with added extras
and Tales of Destiny series will still continue on PS2.
That should make everyone happy... Well, almost everyone.

Well, when the crisis stablilizes here I'll have to buy a GC too, it seems. Of course, I'll see first how well the game turns out, of course.
I wonder if Tales of Phantasia (game that I just LOVE) wil finally be translated to english this time!
It's me or Namco just passed from the X-Box?

The beautiful anime opening of PSX version will be sorely missed, but as long as they do the faithful port of SFC original, I'd be happy. * SFC ToP was the first & only(?) SFC game to have full vocal opening song...
Regarding Namco's Xbox support, I don't know about exclusive original contents, but there's always Soul Calibur 2 & New Ridge Racer (not to mention Pac-man games & Dead to Rights...).

But you wonder how the J-pop song will sound coming out of the GBA....
Anyway, I actually like the look of the new tales game on the GC. Sure it's diffrent, but it's still cool. And if they keep the tradition going on the PS2 and the GBA then I'll be extra happy (More tales action = more RPG goodness = one happy gamer...:)
As for Namco's X-box support, I expect they'll only release games for it that are expected to sell well in the US and in Europe. Given the sluggish sales of the unit in Japan it'd be costly to port over games that would get lukewarm US sales...(Unless Microsoft pays for the ports...)

Music and voices can sound good on gba if they actually TRY... and seeing how well they did tekken advance in the sound department theres probaly not too much to worry about.
