Of the Tales games I've played a little bit of Phantasia, Eternia and all of Symphonia.

I liked Symphonia a lot at the time, but I don't think I could get into this kind of heavy anime trope influenced storytelling any longer.

I watched some gameplay though and it looks alright.

I used to be such a huge fan of this series, but with every new one I played I only got more apathetic. Tales of Symphonia is one of my favourite games of all time; Tales of Vesperia I really enjoyed, but really couldn't stand a large majority of the characters: Tales of Graces f I played for like an hour and haven't gone back since; and now Xillia, which looks like the most generic thing ever for its genre, I doubt I'll even play at all. Least not for a while until I spot it on the cheap.

Hell, it's very possible that the only reason I'm so incredibly smitten with Symphonia is because I was playing it between the ages of 15-17 -- completed it, like, 4 times or something stupid like that.

You just wrote what I was gonna write.

As a young teenager, this series was my shit. I was sooooooooo into it and now, I can't stand this stuff.

Same here. Graces f was an awful, awful game. I also played Tales of Symphonia 2 for the Wii which was also dreadful.

This is one of the worst cut trailers I've seen in a while.

June? the trailer says August 6th.

My english teacher told me the proper way to write dates is day-month-year.

The International Organization for Standardization politely disagrees: http://xkcd.com/1179/

PS. The dialogue in this trailer is TERRIBLE! Also hoping for a Matrix reference in that bolt-dodging scene.

MLA is standard for formal writing, so his teacher is correct... for a formal paper.

The dialogue sounds and looks about as good as something from Tales of Symphonia or Star Ocean 3. Why can't JRPGs evolve along with the rest of the industry?

Is that the same voice actress that played Lightening in FFXIII? That's a little distracting for someone who sunk a lot of time into that game.

I'm occasionally down for a rather by-the-books JRPG, and this looks like for of that. The animation looks better than past Tales games too which is good. Still gotta beat Graces though.

Good on Namco for releasing Tales games again. At least the major ones.
