Gee, I couldn't imagine what those could be. Rolling Eyes

...Yes I can. The fact that it's a wretched mobile port of the first Tales game in history (and this only adds insult to injury as it's yet another crappy version of Phantasia that gets localized), has nothing but one-star reviews, relies on IAP to make any sort of actual progress because battles are impossible with the touch screen setup, disables most of the original game's save points and requires you to be online to play it at all. Were they expecting this port to do well given all this? I'm not surprised they're ending the service.

I couldn't care less if our version gets its service ended too. Remove it so no other Tales fan gets disappointed with this nonsense. Why couldn't we have gotten Phantasia X for PSP? -_-

Yeah, I'm not the least bit sad to see this go. But hopefully they learned their lesson and there will be a real iOS port of this game in the future, as opposed to thinking no one wants one...

But I do feel bad for all the people that bought the game already. Pretty much forced to make a bunch of in-app purchases to play and now the whole thing will be unplayable.
