Less rumors, more Tales of Xillia.

Well IIRC that link also assured Xill2 was on its way.  So yaay (we gotta deal with crappier Xill1 then 2).

Also, when are they going to add online play to the Tales series? All my Tales buddies live in different states.

I'm not sure what they could add that would be a worthwhile addition.  Multi-player boss rush?

I assume he meant doing standard Tales multiplayer, just online.  Which frankly sounds like a good idea to me.

[Taelus]

You are correct. Standard Tales, only online. It would be glorious .

Unless the game was completely built around the idea of multi-player, I don't see it working well.  Even between Tales Fans, everyone likes to do things differently.  Some like to explore towns and dungeons some go straight to the objective.  Some like to talk to townspeople and read the text some mash skip.  I can't imagine people would want to sit and watch until you get to a dungeon where you can hop in on a fight once and awhile.

I understand where you guys are coming from, I just don't see it unless major changes were made.

Online multiplayer controlled combat could be kinda cool. Although now instead of complaining about bad AI, we'd be complaining about those damn noobs you got paired with =P

[Agent D.]

It'd be awesome if you could take your personal characters with you into another players game.  Like using my own Asbel in someone else's game.

[Kevadu]

I don't see it as something you would want to do random match-ups with.  But being able to play a game online with a friend that way could be pretty fun.

And how hard would it be to add, really?  You wouldn't have to change the game design at all, just add some netcode.

[Taelus]

Yeah, I wouldn't wan the design changed. I'd also never ever play with anyone but friends, since they're the only people I'm ever interested in gaming with. Randoms hold no appeal for me in anything.

As long as I get dibs on the cute girl with pigtails character...because there is ALWAYS one. :)

Not ALWAYS. Phantasia for instance didn't have anybody sporting pigtales (both Arche or Suzuka sported ponytales).

Hideo Baba clarifies Tales of Symphonia HD rumors -- Source: Gematsu

[Arklight]

I have a feeling that if it were certainly untrue, Baba might have just outright denied it. Considering the slightly cryptic answer we got, however, I think there might JUST be some truth to this yet.
