Apparently this counts as a ‘near simultaneous launch’. I think they need to check their calendars, there.

That’s a bit weird. They must have meant the US and Japan.

At the risk of sounding churlish, that game looks like any other JRPG ever. I hope I get more excited about it.

Tales is Tales. It’s pure fan-service, except in hi-def this time. I think it looks pretty super, but I’m a freak.

Given the very small number of JRPGs actually making it to this generation I appear to have little choice other than to be mostly cured.
