Blood_Runs_Cold Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 After months of fans spamming Namco Bandai’s Facebook page with requests for new Tales games in the western hemisphere, Namco Bandai community manager Rich Bantegui has stepped up and said he’s “taking notes“. He wrote on Facebook: “Hey guys! I’m Richard Bantegui, aka “FilthieRich,” the Community Manager for Namco Bandai Games. If you’ve got any thoughts, requests or suggestions about any of our games such as Tekken, SoulCalibur, PAC-MAN and yes, even Tales, let’s chat!” I’ve told him what I want. Now tell them what you want (we’re hoping you want Tales, yes?). Follow the link below and tell him on Twitter Link: Namco’s listening: tell them you want Tales!

SSJ4_Haruhi Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Ah Blood_Runs_Cold, it seems that the few of us that would talk about this game might finally have some hope! I posted a comment on Facebook, lovely to see so many others saying Vesperia too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood_Runs_Cold Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Good to hear Falcon! This is just a drop in the bucket, but at least namco is sending a lamb to slaughter to get bugged like hell about the Tales games being released here. Tell your friends. This guy is actually responding to us and maybe, just maybe..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitsuru Kirijo Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Tell your friends. This guy is actually responding to us and maybe, just maybe..... ...we'll get that that trophy patch for MGS 4? O, whoops, wrong company, wrong game, same...tactic? Sorry, I couldn't resist; but your comment about sending a lamb to slaughter drove me to it. Hopefully, someone from Namco actually being out there and talking and hearing about these things will make some kind of difference, but, let's face it, any company, no matter how large or small, usually has a radically different version of what it means to "listen" than the rest of us. Listening is usually just a formality that serves as the inevitable prelude to telling the fans that they're going to be let down after all. I still say that if it was Atlus or NIS we were talking about this whole thing would already be a done deal - let's hope Namco has been taking some notes on how to keep fans happy.

Shuffle Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, but if I did I would be requesting Tales of Vesperia, Tales of Graces F, Toradora Portable, and Haruhi Suzumiya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood_Runs_Cold Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 It seems a lot of people are requesting Xillia and Graces F, with Vesperia behind that. No portables that I can see.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but I can't give up on Bamco just yet. I swear this, even if they don't release any localized games, I WILL be playing these games in english, even if that means JB or CFW consoles to play the fan sub patched version.

My imported copy of ToV still remains unopened at the moment. Glad to finally see Bamco reply to us for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valgrum Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 About Damn Time Namco! While this is a improvement still mean's nothing, until I'm holding the copy in my hand's ready to start gaming. Until then I'll stick to White Knight 2 (Whenever that Comes out!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, I have yet to own a copy of TOV JP!!! I always thought that by giving them money for the japanese version, they would somehow figure that they make enough without localizing it HA! Where did you get your copy Bread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a copy when I went to visit HK. I had spare HKD, so I thought why not lol. If they do end up doing a Western release, I'll probably have it for cheap on eBay, or just keep it for the sake of keeping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood_Runs_Cold Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 That's cool. I would keep it. Keep it sealed.... You never know if it might turn into a high dollar collector's item. That is, if we get a localized copy, of not, rip that baby open lol! I think I'll head on over to "Play Asia" and see what a copy is running for these days. I'm going to go for for Graces F AND Vesperia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
