remove vesperia ps3 from existence and create a new timeline where people don't see tales fans as being pathetic losers

Impossible, even with Vesperia PS3 gone there would still be fans whining for dual audio and boycotting the games for not including it.

Gonna talk about costumes a bit...

- I'd like them to tone the DLC craze down. I know they're highly profitable, but there needs to be a better balance between DLC and in-game content. VesPS3 did it great, it had a lot of cool DLC but also tons of in-game costumes. Some sets like Beach should always be in-game.

- I love how Xillia offers you a lot of customization possibilities. I hope they'll keep going in that direction. It'd be nice if eventually the costume system was a bit like how RM does it with your Descender (tho not tied to equipment please! tho if each new equipment gave you a new costume that'd be cool!).

- Allow us to turn costume music off.

- Choose cameo costumes better. Stop recycling the same characters unless they just fit so well you can't pick anyone else. And have the cameo costumes give your character a new arte like in Vesperia.

- Like Hearts R has swimsuit cut-ins, it'd be nice if cameo costumes had special cut-ins too, one that imitates a cut-in of the cameo character.

- When you show a character with a different costume, ALWAYS make it available at some point (ex. Sophie's end of F arc dress, Luke, Guy and Natalia's costumes in the epilogue anime cutscene, those used in the play in Graces etc...). It's really frustrating to see such nice costumes that you'll never be able to use.

- Some scenes changing depending on the costume or NPC reacting to them (like when you wear your swimsuits in Flanoir) would be nice.

Try not to rush the latest Tales games, please?

And yes to all of Yume's post.

I'd also like the series to revisit the Modern theme again, but with a new world, new set of characters, and with a decent story/plot to go with it. Elenpious was cool, but it wasn't expanded. It really had interesting designs for it's cities.

I mean, I didn't see anything like this in Elenpious at all, except the train:

Those skyscrapers really look good, and the posters made me think of a political conflict as a plot point (or Red Herring).

Oh yeah, costume music needs to become optional. It's such a basic feature that feels like such common sense and I don't know how Namco has yet to see that.

Besides that, I really do want them to do more modern settings in Tales. We've had like, 12 games straight of medieval- ish worlds with random super high technology, and what Xillia 2 did was cool and it worked. I'd like to see more Tales in that vein, with the whole world being modern as opposed to like one town(elinpios should have been much bigger than that but sigh.)

Also

I really, really want them to be done with TP. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying "ungh CC Team Destiny only", but really, their battle systems are much more creative. I'd like to see new ideas like CC was at the time and the force cube to change things up.

I actually do think Xillia 1 and 2 have a pretty good battle system(for the most part, and Hearts R looks really fun as well) and I really like how the Xillias, Hearts R and Destiny 2 all used TP in unique ways. So if they actually find ways to creatively implement it in the future, that is fine with me.

But please, no more Abyss/Vesperia/Innocence R/Every RM game battle systems. It's dull and repetitive now.

space out releases so the development team can polish the story/characters/world and the battle system, rather than one or the other.

I know this will never happen with Japan, but I really want to see them have an openly gay character that struggles with their sexuality throughout the game.

I like what Yume said about costumes.

I also want more experimentation with the LMBS.

I'd like for them to pick a console and stick with it this coming gen. Pick one handheld also.
