Tales of Xillia and others - not coming to steam?

[Cat Daddy]

Ok i want to point out first that this is my FIRST ever tales game ive ever played - and this had become one of my most fav games EVER along the lines of persona 4 and various others.

I looked online when i wanted to find out more about Millia Maxwell and found that there are other tales games NOT on pc? Zestria isnt meant to be very good from what ive understood........yet Xillia 1 and 2 and vespira are meant to be EXTREMELY good....yet these are not on steam why?

Im SERIOUSLY thinking about getting a crappy super slim ps3 just so i can play the other tales games because i LOVE Berseria so much. But im wanting to know WHY are these games NOT on pc exactly??

Also can anyone explain to me WHY the cast of Xillia seem to have been transported top the future in this game? well im assuming its the future coz from what i read online all the tales games are the same world but seriously long different time periods, well if i read it right thats what i think it meant anyways

Nono. Tales of Xillia is set in a completely different universe with Zestiria. Zestiria is only related to Berseria, which is 1000 years in the future of Berseria. Maybe you were seeing pictures of Milla and Jude from Berseria. They appeared in that game as cameo optional Boss. The reason both of them are in that game is only for Easter egg/Fan Service purpose. Tales games like to do this in almost every games

Zestiria is still okay. It do has some of its fair share of pros and cons. Xillia is definitely better in quality, but I won't say that it is extremely good. No one's knows whether the older Tales games will get a PC, there is no announcement for a long time. We can only hope. Zestiria was the first to get pc port

I'd say just get a cheap PS3 and play both Xillias *and* Tales of Graces F.

Graces F had my favorite endgame dungeon out of all the Tales games. It was a bit short, but the game was pretty fun and you could really get to some sick heights of power very easily in the post game with that crafting system.

Xillia 1 was great, storywise. Xillia 2? Sucked until you got 2/3rds in and saw the big plot twist. Still worth a play, IMO.

You really should play Zesteria too.

It will come to pc when/if a remaster collection comes to the ps4. hasn't been a new tales game in awhile so might hear something at e3. or there always the option of buying a physical version of Xillia and emulating it on rpcs3 (need a blu ray drive).

First of all, Zestiria isn't all that bad I recommend it too.

Also, PLEASE play Tales of Symphonia. It's an AMAZING game, one of the best in the series. And it's on Steam.

And if very old games don't bother you, try playing Tales of Phantasia (the PS1 is the best version that has an official translation) as well.

Also, keep in mind that if you don't mind going the way of emulation, MANY great Tales Of games are playable on PC.

(That said, if Namco ever releases ANY of the older games on STeam, I'll throw money at the screen. :/ )

Ps2 Tales of the Abyss is also a must play entry.

Can you believe I never played this one past the first few hours? My PS2 died around that time, and I just forgot it exists.

It's on my to-play list though, and it's probably the next game I'll play. ;)

Yes, it is one of the must-play Tales game. Actually, I like the story more than Symphonia's. The main character has a sh*tty attitude at first, but he gets an amazing development later on.

so true. I think Abyss is to the Tales franchise what FF9 was to Final Fantasy.

It doesn't stick out in any one field like the other Tales games, it just emulates the most back-to-basic features of the previous games and does it in a prettier engine. It plays exactly like Symphonia, has the tried and true "You v.s. a religion" storyline, and the main character is a mostly pitiable wretch. but man, it's that gameplay I love so much with Abyss. It's throwback Tales, and the AI for it was, in my opinion, the best I've seen in a Tales game until Graces F. The AI controlled characters actually put up a decent fight for a change.
