MAN!.. i was looking at the sales for the 2nd week for Tales of Xillia...
A little over 53K... such a huge drop!
I was hoping for around a million copies sold... but now... I'm not so sure, maybe 750?
Hope this comes over to America!
Or I need to learn some Japanese!

While it isn't that hard to play action games in Japanese with RPGs it's quite tricky and let me tell you that some knowledge just isn't good enough, especially if you don't know many kanjis, hiragana and katakana. A friend of mine who's majoring in Japanese this year imported Tales of Vesperia and is still having troubles understanding everything :( And I myself tried with a couple of games, but after a while it gets annoying xD

The drop was expected, still it will most likely be the best selling Tales of game.

I studied Japanese in private lessons for 2 and a half years and it still not enough as well :P

^ Yeah, it would be hard. I think it would be just a little project for myself. I took Japanese 1 in college, so... i have the books and everything, it will just be time consuming because i would be doing it on symbol at a time, lol.
I wish myself luck! lol

^ it's sad, I used to take lessons as well back when I was still a student, but with all the things I had to study for my courses I just couldn't push another thing in :( Good luck~ though you better wait, considering Namco has finally decided to start bringing Tales of back to US/EU after Tales of Graces f I am sure we'll be getting Xillia sometime in 2012/3.

sorry for bringing up this very old thread, but since Tales of Xillia is confirmed for US release this year, well, progress was confirmed at WonderCon 2013 to be still in Japanese version. This is the first song in Tales of history that still remained to be sung in Japanese ver instead of English ver / Instrumental ver.

I don't play the games, but it's nice to know Ayu will have some exposure in the west!

At least this is GOOD exposure for her in the English market, as opposed to Rule for that horrible Dragonball movie. Poor, poor Ayu. Rule deserved so much more than that.

^ truth said

I hope she can go to one of those conventions

They should've used Rule for the new Dragon Ball Z movie which is coming out now... Oh well :P

Excited for progress! Good good.

YESSSSS!!! sooo excited now! cant wait to get my copy! :luv2

haha that would be even more greater oh well :thud

and thank you for the link saw this and kyaaaaa~https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=4565228290099

they put the image of her Five album cover even! :luv2

Being an rpg addict its amazing :D i looove tales but i was worried about namco changing up progress because of it being in japanese. I wanted to play xillia long before i found that out but i hate when that happens -.-

Ayu has done a theme song for a game loong ago "depend on you" which is how i found out about her. Cant wait to play xillia and hoping xillia 2 gets localized as well (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

The first one was original called Day 1 Edition but got changed to Limited Edition, and the booklet is different from the one you get with the collector's edition which is reportedly selling out fast / sold out. Also if your a fan of the Tales of Games, Tales of Symphonia is getting a HD pack with 1+2 for PS3 next year, for the west

ive already preordered it as well! cant wait!

But the article I do believe was talking about Xillia 2 which does not have a release date yet, but sometime in 2014

since Tales of Xillia is keeping the original Japanese song, I hope ToX2 do the same too >__<

Yeah, it'll definitely be released here.
