They actually mix up the Tales games a lot. They release twice as many as they should, but each one is pretty different. They'll go back and forth between pure 2D and 3D, mix up the battle systems a good deal, and change character designers and art styles. Maybe not as sharp of a break from game to game as Final Fantasy, but still.

I don't know if it makes it better or worse that only half of them come here. But like... Symphonia, Legendia, and Rebirth you'd never confuse for an instant, and they were consecutive releases in Japan.

I think the problem is that the more you oversaturate, the more the need for change is exaggerated. If Tales games came out every 3 years instead of twice a year, the amount of change between titles would be more than enough, but when there's so many of them so often you're like "Shit, make one set on the Moon or something. I just played one of these 6 months ago."

I'll be honest, it just seems like they're swapping around hair colors to me. I've played Phantasia, Destiny, Eternia and Symphonia and I feel like I've played the same game four times.

Either that or I actually have played the same game four times. Namco's appalling lack of reluctance to port and remake the shit out of everything isn't doing much in the way of extinguishing the perception of Tales games being indistinguishable from one another. It's a good thing I passed on the GBA port of Tales of Phantasia, because Namco has been generous enough to grace me with the opportunity to buy the PSP port of the PSX remake of the original SNES release! That's three generations of inbreeding, which puts Namco on the same despicable pedestal as Squaresoft, Falcom and Kentucky.

And now they've dressed the once sacred Katamari Damacy in torn fishnets, doused it in cheap perfume and dropped it off on the corner in the red light district of videogamedom. I'll wait for the handheld port of Beautiful. The one with added voice acting and some bullshit card-collecting system tacked on to it with the precision of a drunkard playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey at his stepdaughter/intimate partner's eleventh birthday party.

I stand by my nominee of ARBM as Noob of the Year.

Why do I have to wait for October for this? COME OUT FASTER PLS.

I've got the fever.

As well you should.

Any of you crafty out there? This Magnetic Katamari is pretty cool.
