Sankaku complex is a terrible source that sensationalizes news to get more hits.

Has news of the Tales studio in near bankruptcy been posted in more credible sources, such as Andriasang.com or Kotaku.com? If not, they we should be skeptical of Sankaku complex.

Andriasang can sometimes be questionable as well. I've caught them manufacturing false information in their translations.

Kotaku usually just quotes andriasang.

And Sankaku seems to think that 2chan/Amazon shows what the Japanese population thinks about something.

Doesnt make sense, just about every Tales game has sold well, i cant imagine the PSP games costing too much.GulliversTravel
Dude, there has been almost 20 Tales games released this generation in Japan on between the PS3, 360, Wii, PSP & DS. When you've made, remade and ported that many titles in a few years it's probably not going to be cost effective with "good" sells.

Lol I know.

Well really, they probably know they're quoting trolls most of the time. Trolls just get more hits when combined with "Japanese people think _"

Sankaku is one of the few websites that I wish would close down, the bull articles, the obsession with some delusional self-fabricated view of the Japanese culture, and the ignorant users all just annoy me.

I hope it's not true, I loved tales of vesperia. They should advertise their games more and release more outside of Japan (I believe only Symphonia and Vesperia were released in Europe)

Very true.

And unfortunately there is no better source that reported it.

They wouldn't be bankrupt if they released their games outside of Japan more often...

As others have said that takes money.

That sucks, hopefully they let Nintendo bring Graces over. As for the PS3 version of Vesperia, isn't 80% of the translation done already? All they have to do is translate the new extras.

This is very upsetting. Hopefully Graces will make its way outside of Japan. I'm pretty much done hoping that I'll get to play the DS ones.

That sucks. I was never a big fan of the tales series but it's always sad to see a studio go bankrupt :(

Tales games DO sell. They probably just need a smarter business plan.

By actually promoting their games, not just putting them in shelves and acting like it's a secret.

I am hoping that is a joke calling Kotaku a credible source.

Perhaps if they actually gave a **** about Europe and their fans here I would feel sad for them. I'm tired of having to wait a year to play their games; or having to import.

That's horrible news. I was really looking forward to at least Tales of Graces being localized. I doubt it happens now, or anytime soon. The chances were already slim enough.

I'd gladly support them if they finished localizing the PS3 version of Vesperia. And Graces would most definitely sell outside of Japan under a more supportive publisher.
