Who is getting the Tales of Legendia video game?

I just hope it's not as cliched as the last game. A girl who was destined to be the Chosen One? You don't say? Elves can use magic? Oh my gosh! "I am your father." Shock and Surprise! Your ally is actually the enemy and your enemy is actually your ally? Where do they think of this stuff?

Well, technically the Tales game that came before Tales of Legendia would be Tales of Rebirth not Tales of Symphonia. They never brought Tales of Rebirth to the US though. I didn't think TOS was that cliched though. Some parts may have been cliched but I definatly wouldn't call it predictable, spoiler[you honestly can't tell me that you knew the whole "church of Martel" thing and the Chosen one was actually a scheme set up by Mithos in order to revive Martel. You can't tell me you knew everything that was going to happen. The story was pretty well thought out it, I don't see how anyone would be able to tell all or even most of what was going to happen. And as far as most of the people I've heard from, most of them didn't see Kratos turning out to be Lloyds father either. Also, Kratos isn't really an enemy of Lloyd. If you played though the whole way you'd be able to tell that, and if did it the right way he even joins you in the end.] But I'm kind of a TOS fanboy so I have a bit of a bias for it. I played through it 7 times and got all the titles. I liked TOS better than FFX, that's for sure.

I thought Tales of the Abyss was the most recent one before Legendia.

I knew that spoiler[Mithos was the 'great hero' who saved the world long ago] long before they actually said in game and I could see right through spoiler[Mithos' disguise to befriend the team].

Tales of the Abyss came out in December in Japan. Tales of Legendia came out in August. Abyss is the most recent Tales game but it came out after Legendia.

Ya, I saw that coming also. I would admit that part was extremely obvious. It just seemed that outlawwolf thought it was the most cliched video game ever. It did have cliches, but I've definately played video games that had FAR more cliches then TOS.

Dammit, I really, REALLY want to put a link to the opening of Tales of Abyss. I think it's against the rules though. Can it be considered a trailer since it's not the actual game and it's just the opening? Please?

I guess I'll have to settle for this though. It's a trailer for the game and contains the opening song in it, just not all the visuals. It's in .zip file format btw.

There hasn't been any announcement for Tales of the Abyss being released in the U.S. yet, has there? I really hope they release it here someday (soon).

If TOL does well in the US, there is a good chance of TOA being brought here too. That's why I'm hoping it sells well.
