True. Let's hope the performance is stable this time around, too. And yeah, they should really concentrate on things that matter.

Anyway, regarding Tales of titles, I personally think Xillia did a fairly decent job addressing all the problems you mentioned (.) Its only negative point is that it has no AA (the aliased fest annoys me to no end during cutscenes, but at least it's still less noticeable than Mk2.)

In my opinion though, these two still can't beat Eternal Sonata, in term graphics anyway, and it's a 2007 title.

Ah, HD Persona goodness. It's been a long time coming.

Also, I'm pretty sure that Atlus has already said that they will be handling the scenario.

The main thing they need to do is improve the animations. The character models are impressive, but all of that hard work is wasted when they run around like robots.

Makes me wonder why their sells are so poor, while the female otaku market in Japan is very big.

Umm... I am not really sure. I mean the character models look good, but then in the case of Compile Hearts, they are the only things that look good. Background look very lazy and bland and frames rate drops like crazy for no apparent reason(at least in the case of game 1 and game 2). While Tales of games textures and polygons are rather poor, they managed to create a very good looking towns and fields... well at least towns, the frame rate and loading time is incredible and character motions is amazingly fluid and battle effects are so good that even Square Enix might have something to learn from Namco Tales Studio.

Long story short, please improve frame rate and finally spend funds on motion captures instead of characters dancing promo videos...

If that's really is the case then I wouldn't call it "changed", more like they tossed the old concept down the sewer and reestablish everything from scratch... which makes me sad, because I want to have both this one and Ushiro (in its original form.)

It wasn't confirmed officially but it seems Time Travalers is actually Ushiro, but in that case the project has changed a lot.

Man, I'm dying to play Time Travelers...

That aside, I wonder if Level-5 is ever going to be working on Ushiro again. Here's hoping they would rework it into a PlayStation Vita's game.
