Like some of you, we're trying not to put our hearts into Tales of Hearts, just because we don't want them broken if the game doesn't get localized. Normally we're localization optimists, but after Namco Bandai decided to work on the Wii's Tales of Symphonia as well as the 360's Tales of Vesperia, but not the DS's Tales of Innocence, we've been a little bitter. We won't even mention our still stinging wounds over Tales of the Tempest, even if it wasn't too well recieved -- except that we just did. We've said it before, and we'll say it again: if any system deserves catering to niche audiences, it's the DS.
Rant aside, enjoy the lovely screens! We'll just be out back, crying softly to ourselves.

Namco Bandai: We hate the DS...IN AMERICA!
:D
Also, that's a Radiant Mythology 2 screen shot...but at least Veigue is in it. 'Cause he's cool.

That's only half the picture though. Hit the source link and you get not one, but TWO tiny screens of Hearts.
At least Namco seems to support localizing the console games these days :(

Bandit Keith would beat Namco-Bandai to a pulp for their anti-localization policies.
...provided, however, that he was a fan of JRPGs, which strikes me as unlikely.

I'd be enthused if it stood any chance of coming over to the US. As it doesn't, I give it a bitter and apathetic meh and move on. Meh.

I'll be more excited if they have plans for brint it here along with tales of innocence, but I lost the hope some time ago.
Men, I miss the old jeux-france (now gamekyo), I don't understand french, but at the scans were a lot bigger

How do they decide what will or will not sell in North America? Obviously, some things are really, really super Japanese and would only frighten Americans and Canadians. But JRPGs have a fan base here, damn it! Atlus keeps churning out the crap, Square-Enix nuts out a JRPG every ten minutes! And there is going to be a different Tales game on every platform! What the hell?
Ah, but I can dream......

Why is everywhere calling this Tales of Hearts? As far as I can see, It's called Tales of the World: Radient Mythology 2, And the Tales of the world branch of the series never get released outside Japan :(

Go to the link, it shows the DS game Tales of Hearts. This is a sequel to Tales of the World Radiant Mythology, which came out for the PSP... worldwide.
Comprehension FTW.
