As stated in many of the past topics I write on tales. The series is in poor condition. Selling pathetically even in Japan, and just as bad if not worse for some titles here in NA. I think namco was a little sceptical as to whether they wanted to bring graces to NA. Even the Executive producer of the Japanese tales studio, Yoshidumi, has taken a trip to the NA studio to see how the game was coming along.

Namco has stated that if we want to see any more of the Tales series here in NA, then Graces F had better sell well. Honestly though, I don’t believe it will meet their expectation. NA is home to citizens that value fantastic 3D graphics, not some cute anime style game. Even more critical is the fact that NA is home to well, a sea of pirates that don’t want to waste their money.

Here is to the hope that NA namco’s expected sales is less that 200,000/150,000. Importers may rejoice as well, it won’t affect them in the end. Those that wait for a localization, well cross your fingers on this. Also that they lower the price of the DLC Costumes. Not many people have $5 to squander for a single costume for a single character.

I seem to have been doing a lot of tales related topics lately. Guess the hype from xillia is still on me. I’ll also be putting up a review of Graces F in the coming days. (When I get the time to sit down and actually write out the brick.)
