If you are enthralled by the addictive world of high-stakes gambling and the even-more-addictive world of social games, Namco Bandai has a soul-crushingly-addictive announcement for you. According to Siliconera, the publisher's Tales series of role-playing games is making the jump to the free-to-play browser-based realm with Tales of the World: Dice Adventure.
The game, which will hit Japanese browsers next Spring, will let players team up with characters from the prolific Tales series, assumedly entering into games of chance using numbered cubes. (Or numbered Icosahedrons, if they go the Dungeons and Dragons route.) Little else is known about the title -- until Namco reveals more information, the whole thing is going to be a crapshoot.

Be kinda interesting to see a D&D-ish browser game... could be kinda cool. But sure as hell not getting my hopes up...

@DarkKingSilvers it's futile to expect English release out of tales series, just sit back relax and forget about it. It will save you frustration if this game will never see English release or give you pleasant surprise when it will. i did that will Graces F and this time i was pleasantly surprised, it's not always like that.

I guess this is the result of the Tales' Studio going under.

NB, instead of fecking around with dice-based browser games, news re; an english port of Xillia would be welcome

I couldn't care less about this. All I really want from them are Tales of Graces F (which is now super confirmed for US localization) and Tales of Xillia.
To be honest, I'm not all that surprised that the Tales Studio is having to do something like this. Tecmo-Koei is planning on doing the same thing to Gust after they had purchased them. I think even Atlus, after they had been fully absorbed by Index Holdings, or whatever they're called, are also being forced to follow suit. Screw browser based social games. Screw them like Paris Hilton after a roofie mixer.
