It just is."Ī large part of my apathy towards Tales of Hearts R (much like my apathy towards Dawn of a New World or Tales of Graces F) comes from its awful characters and story, all of which rely on tired tropes, cliches, and pandering humor to cover up for what is just terrible writing all around. "In 2014, with more even more modern (and better) standards to judge it against, and with an audience that was never its intended demographic to begin with, assessments of Tales of Hearts R can be brutal. Now, in 2014, with more even more modern (and better) standards to judge it against, and with an audience that was never its intended demographic to begin with, assessments of Tales of Hearts R can be brutal.

TALES OF HEARTS EPISODE 1 SERIES
It’s important to keep that in mind when you go into it- the Tales series has been making some great strides lately with memorable games, but those are all more recent and modern games. Tales of Hearts R on PS Vita is just that- it is a remake of a Tales of game on the Nintendo DS, which was never too popular in Japan to begin with, and was never even brought over to the west. So of course, as more and more new fans come into the fold, it’s as good a time as any to try and revive some of the older, less popular entries into the franchise, and expose them to a broader audience. The Tales series has been growing in popularity for a good while now, not just in their homeland of Japan, but also in the west, where it’s become so popular that publisher Bandai Namco have committed to being more consistent with their otherwise patchy track record with localization.
