I wish they were more innovative with their spinoffs, instead of the typical TOTWs and subpar games like Versus/Twinbraves.

A Tales of Fandom 3 would be nice.

I'd be all for that, but it's probably never gonna happen since Namco never wants to put effort in their escorts. rip hopes and dreams

Tactics Union should have been on a console. I don't care about the card games, but TU seemed interesting. Hope they don't go full-out on social gaming.

Saddening because she was great. Wonder how good her replacement will be.

Aww good luck Hollie, she was really awesome~

Also in terms of spin-offs, I also really want another TotW, ToF never appealed to me because they have no chance of localization and very little enjoyment without a thorough translation script. TotW stories are basic enough that I can understand them and I can understand remote parts of skits, and seeing a whole bunch of characters interact is good in of and itself. TotW also adds in the battle element ;3

That being said, I wouldn't mind a brand new super awesome chain of crossover Tales games that take us to places previously unimaginable ~ (I just sincerely wish that they keep the roster huge, I hate smaller rosters because my favourites are typically not popular and I like a lot of mass interaction, if its going to be a crossover I want more variety and lots of potential for different personalities mixing up)

I like the direction RM3 went, preserving each character's fighting style from their own game (Cress's hit combo, Sidestep for Graces characters, the phasing through the enemy forward step for Legendia characters, etc.) I would like them to keep doing that in crossovers.

Hollie took the soured, and put in the corner EU fanbase and made it a helluva lot stronger, and interactive than the US branch. Both in fanbase, and sales. So much respect for this girl treating the EU branch, and this franchise so dang well.

I'm gonna miss her, and her fervor to this fanbase alot. :<

Hoping that last paragraph at the end references us getting the PSOne titles digitally

"We’re planning on making this a Tales of filled year, so we have a lot of surprise announcements lined up — stay tuned! Thank you again to all of our fans who have supported us over the years. We hope for your continued support in 2013."

Dang, it is a bit sad to see Hollie go, but best of luck to her in whatever job it is she's moving on to. ;D

And @ the Tales-filled year comment: Oooh, hope the surprises are actually good ones.
