Namco announced that the game will be ported to the Sony PlayStation Portable for a Japanese release, and is speculated, based on recent Namco's internationalization of other Tales games, that it will eventually come to North America and Europe.(Tales Of Rebirth looks f*cken awesome, I so hope it gets a translation![/I​)

Release Date: March 19th 2008 Jap, US/EU Unknown.






It was released in Japan on February 15, 2007. The PSP version is similar to the original PlayStation 2 incarnation, with the remake adding additional cameos and playable content; Rutee Katrea, Philia Philis, Woodrow Kelvin, Leon Magnus, and Lilith Aileron from the Tales of Destiny remake are all present as cameo bosses. The PSP re-release sold 73,000 copies in its first week, ranking second in weekly video games sales, however, subsequent sales fell off sharply, with the title dropping to the #25 position in its second week.(Which means since we haven't seen anything so far, I doubt it will come over here)

How many ports have they made of the same bloody thing now?

They skimmed over us in the Tales of Destiny remake, so unless we get that as well, I won't be bothered.

What do you mean?  Tales of Rebirth and Tales of Destiny 2 were PS2 exclusives.  The english of Destiny 2 was actually Tales of Eternia which got a port that saw European release only.

After the sales of Tales of Destiny II (Tales of Eternia) some 10 years ago Namco swore that they would never release another 2D Tales of game in America again.  It's pretty fucking retarded considering their English fanbase has probably tripled since then.  I guess you could say they broke their promise with Tales of Destiny on the GBA which sold a million or so copies so I wouldn't be surprised if they brought over ToR and ToD2.  Since the PS2 is pretty much dead (or at least overshadowed in the gaming industry) I doubt they'll waste their time releasing ToD-remake in English.

It was on the ps1 also.

ALSO why does ToD2 look so fucked up? Where is Reid? Meredy? WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE

namco are pretty fucking stupid when it comes to releases

katamari 1 was never released here (europe), katamari 2 was released after like an extra 6 months, im not sure how long it took for katamari psp to get released here and beautiful katamari still isnt out here (although wikipedia says FEB 08 amazon uk doesnt have any date set)

so yeah f*ck namco

I really confused on this one, but it seems that Tales of Eternia/Tales of Destiny 2 in English, is different to the Jap game with the same name, I don't know maybe they just fucked it the names somehow? Just like how Final Fantasy III is Final Fantasy VI over here?

I don't think Tales of Destiny 2 will come over(As it was released in Feb last year and not even a rumor or nothing for it), which I don't mind really, but Tales Of Rebirth looks to good to forget about now, My GOD I hope the speculation and shit for Rebirth ends up true!

  I guess you could say they broke their promise with Tales of Destiny on the GBA which sold a million or so copies so I wouldn't be surprised if they brought over ToR and ToD2.

They remade Tales of Phantasia for the GBA not Destiny  ​. And apparently they made some Tales of the World games for it also.

God, I hate the Tales Of games so much that I don't even know where to start.  Radiant Mythology for PSP was really promising and I actually loved it for an hour or two until I realized how uncompromisingly assinine the fetch quests were (even worse than Valhalla Knights!).  I wish I liked Tales Of games because they really do target my inner japfag, but the games are sooo bad.

However!  Tales of Rebirth's art looks pretty awesome and I would definitely buy it if it came over here.  I've noticed that at least one Tales Of port/remake skipped the US but *was* published in Europe (I imported it for $70 and man that was a bad idea), so there's definitely a lot of hope for an English release.

Yeah, you're a lil' late behind there, I bought ToD2 a month ago. (Kicks ass, regardless whether I can read Jap or not.) And as for ToR, I'll be gettin' it too.

Just to let you all know, DON'T EXPECT THIS TO COME TO U.S. THE CHANCES OF IT ARE EXTREMELY SLIM, SO JUST IMPORT IT AND PLAY IT, IF YOU DON'T WANNA IMPORT THEN GIVE IT UP. Thank you and have a good day.

@#1 Dad(i think)  -  ToE was ToD2, due to copyright stuff from Eternia, (He-Man.) ToE had to be named ToD2, the actual ToD2 is starred Stahn's son, Kyle. So yeah.

Why do you say that? Every other tales of game has come here.

Actually, no...

Because if that were true, we should've got ToD2(PS2, Tales of Rebirth, and Tales of Destiny(PS2) here, but they don't seem to like 2D... the US side i'd assume.

These are for the PSP, though. Sony is desperate for games that sell well and Tales of has a pretty dedicated fanbase. I can't think of a single reason these wouldn't come here.

Actually these games were released before, they were for the PS2. (Except ToD for the PS2, that was released just near the end of 2006.) But ToD2, and ToR were for PS2, and now they're releasin' em' for the PSP. Down with DS! Do a lil' bit of research on wiki or somethin' and you'll know. Lots of people were disapointed when ToR didn't come out, it was originally supposed to come state side in 2002(i think) but due to the Anti-2D policy the game was cancelled, what a shame because Tales of Rebirth looked pretty tight, so youre best bet would be to import it.

But as you said, the fan base has been increasing, so the chances of it being released stateside is possible, but I highly doubt it, I had my hopes for ToD for the PS2, but it didn't come to happen, so I just gave up.

All of that ps2 stuff is irrelevant, though. While people weren't looking for that style on the ps2, they almost definitely are on PSP, considering that's what the system is for.

And, much like every other game released on the PSP, these'll probably be ported to the ps2 (in english) if they are successful.

Well then, all the fanbase can do is pray, and hope that some form of a miracle will happen and these games will be released.
