Dear gamer news blogs, or whatever you call yourselves,

could you please stop knocking the naming conventions for Tales games? I understand dumbshit "reporters" need some lame joke to fill the space when they put up an announcement, but please find something that doesn't piss me off. Actually, you don't even have to go that far---just find something original. Part of my frustration is that like every site is totally baffled that Namco keeps naming the "Tales of" games "Tales of..." Yeah, I know, and we're so tired of Squeenix using the "Final Fantasy" name. Like, god, can't they find something else? That's like 15-20 games!

I do get information from English news sites sometimes, but I think I'm just going to cut that out altogether because I'm not into exposing myself to the whimsical utterances of US fanboys who think JRPGs are kind of gay. WHAT DO I READ JAPANESE FOR, ANYWAY?

Idolm@ster update: I finished my round of producing with Chihaya. Not long after my last entry, I gave her a few more lessons, went back up to "Idol God," and stayed there. For like 15 weeks, at least. No departing reporter not natural decline could change the fact that she was, as Adi says, Idol Goddess, Destroyer of Worlds. Holy crap. I feel as if she could shoot lasers from her eyes.

Being at level 16 and wrecking auditions with no memories was kind of fun---maybe I should play her again! 83

This has been a Namco-drenched entry, but maybe I should mention that lately that company makes me nervous. I can't play Vesperia to reassure myself that Tales games aren't getting too flimsy, idolm@ster has expensive DLC, the people who are supposed to make Summon Night basically got kicked to the curb, etc. Is it just the recession, or do I need to move on? =-=

The CG version is on sale at Play-Asia right now but I really want the animation version. ;A;

I think everyone in Tales fandom cringed at them XD;

Sorry for deleting that comment btw, I got a message that it didn't go through and then reposted the comment only to find it was there twice... oops.

Seriously? I'm like you, I'd much rather play the anime version. The style is part of what makes Tales what it is. It would be a shame if Namco tried to make it a lower-budget Final Fantasy.

And the CG models they showed off before the game was released were very off-putting :/

Hero with ugly mottled skin...heroine with no pants... =_= Gee, isn't Mutsumi good enough to show off anymore?

Not to mention, Inomata's proportions + CG = BAD IDEA, NAMCO! I really think they were trying to crib off of FF's character models there.
