Under the twin moons and the rule of the great empire, people have been leading peaceful lives albeit unsettling legends about a sleeping princess, dream eating monsters and the falling moons continue to pass around. No matter how unsettling, people have been seeing these legends as mere stories to scare children, until the day a mysterious plague started spreading and the culprit of the illness seems to be the dream eating monsters. Under the onslaught of these evil forces, a special substance in people's hearts, spiria gets contaminated. The only thing to counter the monsters is Soma, hidden within the Spire Maze. All these strives of the land are unknown to the hero, Shing until he rescues a mysterious girl Kohaku from the monsters. Together, the two set off to find the mysterious substance Soma, save the land and find out the truth about the legends. |
Tales of Hearts
Game » consists of 2 releases. Released Dec 18, 2008
The third Tales game for the DS and the 11th mothership title in the series.
Tales of Hearts (CG Edition) - is it worth $20 in Japanese?
I have been tempted to import it, and I've heard that it definitely is worth it. I probably won't do it though - using a walkthrough takes away a great deal of a game's charm for me. I'll keep hoping for a localization, and if that doesn't happen, I'll wait until I know enough Japanese to play it.
Wow, thats $30 AUD right? That seems pretty cheap to me, for an Import game too.
I say get it...Looks awesome *thumbs up*
My DS is broken, and the next DS I'll buy will be the DSi, which is region locked, so no, I won't import. I have been hoping, since Tales of Hearts was announced, that it would be localized. I'll just continue to hold onto that hope...

I'm so happy I got one, so much better than my older DS and DSLite...

Quite a few Tales games don't get translated."
Isn't Soma the name of some highly addictive drug in Oblivion???
-And now back on topic... I've never imported anything and even though this looks interesting i probably still wouldn't.
"Isn't Soma the name of some highly addictive drug in Oblivion???"You're thinking of Skooma.

I'd love a TES game on DS...

If i can manage to keep studying Japanese, I'll consider importing this. But as a note to Namco: Make it easy for me and just translate it for all of us! I mean, we totally lapped up Tales of Symphonia and its lesser spinnoff, Dawn of the New World, so what do we have to do to get you to bring us more Tales?
We have had a substantial appreciation of our dollar since I started this thread, so it is now a YES to importing it. I decided to add a second import to come with it:
It is only $15 US, so I figure, what is better than one Tales game? 2 Tales games :-)
