Title: Tales of the Abyss
Console: PS2, Nintendo 3DS (port)
Genre: Tales of the Abyss
Language: Japanese
Company: Bandai Namco
Summary: My first 3DS game purchase! I watched the anime when it aired in Japan and enjoyed it. But since I know the story already, I might get sidetracked while I play this .___.; I did spend a hefty dollar to get the game though, so I’ll be sure to enjoy every dollar it’s worth eventually~ Luke \o/

10 years later I end up just emulating it on PS2 to get 60fps and 4k graphics. :V Finished the game for real this time though, instead of stopping somewhere after Yulia City, I believe.

Title: Tales of Xillia
Console: PS3
Genre: Action RPG, Fantasy
Language: Japanese
Company: Namco
Summary: 100% Platinum Trophy in around 100 hours.

And in the far future I will probably then bother with a third replay to re-enjoy the story with max grade.

Various light spoilers in the reviews, but as usual I stay away from any major spoilers. Ffff, I ship Jude/Milla so hard. バリボー＼^ω^/

Title: Tales of the World Radiant Mythology 3 テイルズ オブ ザ ワールド レディアント マイソロジー3
Console: PSP
Genre: RPG (Action), Fantasy
Language: Japanese
Company: Namco
Summary: Thanks to gamefaqs contributors, I started with a New Game+ to save myself a whole ton of grinding. XD; Despite having so many all-star characters to play with, I have a lot more fun playing the PS3 Tales titles, so I really didn’t want to take the time to grind. Thanks, contributors Finished the main plot.

Title: Tales of Graces F
Console: PS3
Genre: Action RPG, Fantasy
Language: Japanese
Company: Namco
Summary: Currently at around 200 hours of gameplay, I’m on my fourth run which might be my last even though I STILL didn’t get every grade shop upgrade I wanted. ORZ Maybe in a decade later if things are still moving along, I’ll feel the nostalgia enough to pull through a fifth playthrough. XD It’s one of those good ones.

Title:Tales of Hearts (Anime Version)
Tales of Hearts R テイルズ オブ ハーツR
Console: NDS/Vita
Genre: Action RPG
Language: Japanese
Company: Namco
Summary:
Famitsu gave the DS version a 33/40 (compared to 35/40 and 36/40 they’ve given to the other mothership titles, Abyss, Innocence, Vesperia, Graces), which I would agree with (but I don’t agree with their 32/40 for Rebirth. :| ).

Vita result – Great, but not as impressed as I hoped to be. Beat main story at around 30 hours. Dunno how much post-content stuff I’ll get through, but I do eventually want to do a second playthrough, since I didn’t bother with any subevents unless I came across them coincidentally.

Title: Tales of Innocence テイルズ オブ イノセンス
Tales of Innocence R テイルズ オブ イノセンス R
Console: NDS, Vita
Genre: Action RPG, Fantasy
Language: Japanese
Company: Namco
Summary: DS result – I lost my save file for this a while back and had to start over, and now I keep forgetting to continue my play for this even though I do want to finish it. My usual incomplete RPG syndrome. XD;

Vita – Completed in under 30 hrs. Characters were level 70 post-game (out of 200) at the 30-hour mark. Pretty short, but fun! The two additional characters are really fun to play as well.

Title: Tales of Vesperia (テイルズ オブ ヴェスペリア)
Console: PS3 (Definitive Edition 2019: PS4, PC, Switch)
Genre: Action RPG, Fantasy
Language: Japanese
Company: Namco
Summary: Swiped off Wiki: Vesperia takes place on the planet Terca Lumireis. The people of Terca Lumireis have come to rely on “blastia”, an ancient civilization’s technology with a wide array of capabilities, such as providing water, powering ships, or creating barriers around major cities and towns to protect them from monsters. The Imperial Knights and Guild members also use “bodhi blastia” to enhance their abilities in combat. The blastia, created by the elf-like Krityans, are fueled by a substance called “aer” that lends its power to the blastia’s ability, but can be fatal to humans in large concentrations.
