I think a lot of game news journalists feel the need to reassure themselves that they're not actually nerdy by resorting to excess amounts of snark. Some of the Tales names are kind of silly ("Legendia", for instance) but it's not because of the "Tales of" part.
Do you have a DS, by the way? Tales of Hearts looks pretty good. The main healer is the heroine's tsundere oniichan (yeah, the healer's a guy!!) :D Unfortunately it's like eighty bucks... Stupid Namco.. And I'm with you on wanting to play Vesperia! It looks like Abyss only not as sad XD;
What happened with Summon Night? I haven't bought any SN games since SN4 and I got that used... orz.
