I love the Tales series. Gimme gimme!

I absolutely love the "Tales Of" series. I'm so hype for another game

Well, Tales of Zestiria wasn't anything spectacular in terms of production. A game of its caliber is pretty easy to make nowadays. If they keep the same combat system, there's little else they have to do other than create and populate the world and add story. But I agree with you, I hope they don't rush it. I'm yet to buy Zestiria myself.

I really like the old Tales of games from like 2003-2007 the other ones got boring pretty fast, but Zesteria is pretty ok, nothing special but ok.

When will they start working on Tales of Repetitivia?
The game where you keep doing the same thing inbetween boring story segments.

Probably after they're done making solid games with good stories.
Which doesn't seem to be any time soon.

After playing fallout 4 and witcher 3 I can't help but think those JRPGs are becoming more and more niche games these days.

They need to do proper remakes Tales of Phantasia and Destiny. And release Destiny 2 in the USA.

Tales of Phantasia X (PSP) and Tales of Destiny DC (PS2). They're both generally considered great games by the fanbase.

Tell me about it! Seems action RPGs are becoming the norm here in the West.

Hmmm.... never got the chance to play those. I should look for them then. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: There's Tales of Phantasia Full Voice Edition and Tales of Phantasia Narikiri Dungeon X. I suppose you were referring to the latter one?

Narikiri Dungeon X is the sequel to Phantasia and it comes with Tales of Phantasia packed in the game. (all the same game file, by the way) The Phantasia which comes with NDX is the Full Voice Edition, only with an extra playable character as well as a handful of new scenes. It's colloquially called Tales of Phantasia X (cross) Edition. That's the one I was talking about.

Also, NDX is worth buying just for NDX alone, in my opinion.

In case things aren't clear, "Narikiri Dungeon X" contains both Narikiri Dungeon X (Phantasia's sequel) as well as the Tales of Phantasia X Edition (the extended FVE). So when I mentioned Tales of Phantasia X, I was talking about the remake included inside NDX and not the Full Voice Edition.

Gotcha. I figured as much. It's the only version of Phantasia with an X in the title.

This year is a very high-profile year for JRPGs, trickling into next year.
Here's what we got on the horizon:

• Final Fantasy XV
• Kingdom Hearts III
• DragonQuest XI
• Persona 5
• Bravely Second: End Layer (already out)
• Tales of Berseria

Those are some really high-profile releases. All of Square's long-term projects will be coming to fruition if all goes well in the next year. It's gonna be a huge year for JRPGs. Square Enix's future is riding on it. If anything, I think this year, the JRPG will really shine amongst the crowd, especially with Final Fantasy XV. Last year was a great year for RPGs, with the likes of Witcher 3, Fallout 4, etc., but this year is the year of the JRPG.
