Is this true? I got to the snow village and dropped it because I was so bored.
Yep.

Here is the top 10 selling tales of games for each region 4 years ago. NA, JP, and EU.

4 years ago this was NA's top 10 selling tales of games (these lists count all the different versions of the game in one number, so tales of symphonia's for north america was just counting it's gamecube release, it's symphonia chronicles PS3 release, and the PC release of symphonia):
  1. Tales of Symphonia ( 940,000 sold copies)
  2. Tales of Vesperia ( 810,000 sold copies)
  3. Tales of Zestiria ( 600,000 sold copies) *Oh god oh lord what in the fuck, lmao. This causes me physical pain.*
  4. Tales of Berseria
  5. Tales of Symhonia: Dawn of the New World
  6. Tales of Xillia
  7. Tales of the Abyss
  8. Tales of Graces
  9. Tales of Xillia 2
  10. Tales of Hearts
I was wrong a bit and xillia 1 was 6th place.

Tales of arise made it past 3 million total sales with all the regions combined back in february 2024, and while I can't find the bandai-namco tweet about it right now they had posted that NA was responsible for like half of that 3 million.

Personally I like to think that what made arise so successful was bandai-namco actually started properly advertising for once on social media and just had good timing. Tales of arise dropped on september 9th 2021......at this point of time you still had a lot of PS4 and xbox one gamers playing rpgs, and the PS5 n' xbox series x/s was now approaching 1 year old with those who actually had a PS5 and xbox series console looking for whatever new games to play. It also had a successful steam release.

*For me I also liked that tales of arise had this slave breaking free and rising up theme to it. Really wished the plot leaned into this part way more compared to the plot we actually got. That first region against that one axe dude man I was into it, lol.*
