I saw this as a possibility and had sorta hoped someone besides Namco-Bandai would get lucky enough to end up with the studio.

Perhaps this might help things when it comes to the Tales of games releasing outside of Japan…

We just have to put all our hope in NB now, we don’t have a choice of hoping the Tales of Studio in Japan can do something, since they are now part of NB and the big wigs will have even more control over the franchise.

My hope is that with the studio now being an official part of NB, we might see them try and actually build on the popularity of the series outside of Japan.

Which is something that the fans have been asking them to do for years…

@Sal Romano: Maybe Gematsu needs to generate controversy through the headlines :evil:

Just kidding, that’d be terrible. |:

@Devoted: We need replies like these on all of our articles! :-P

@Revorse: That’s what it sounds like.

@Sal Romano: Thanks for that I don’t want people to get the wrong idea and start raging on Namco…again lol :P

@AdamBoy64: Could be a sign that they want to bring those games to the forefront of their strategy…

I hope good things come out of this.

@Sal Romano: I understand both options, really. But “absorb” is less rage-prone, I’d say… ;)

*Edit*: However, judging by the amout of replies in such a short time, “dissolve” was more appealing :p

@Devoted: It could go either way, I think, but I like “absorb” better, as it sounds less confusing.

I’ve changed the title to suit.

@RedWolfe: Me too thank god your one off the few people on the internet who can read before raging :P

@RedWolfe:
Same here ahah! I hope this doesn’t have any impact on neither the quality of future Tales of games, nor on the quantity of games from this particular franchise actually being released in the future.

@RedWolfe: Me too! :p

Shouldn’t it be “Namco Bandai to absorb Tales Studio”?
