No indication in the names themselves, but if they're related to Tales of Ten then it is Team Destiny, or what's left of them, since apparently you have 4 tales teams now.

Team Hearts apparently got the 2D talent and some Tead Destiny staff, but are a small team when compared to Team Destiny and Team Symphonia, then you have Team Ratatosk who did ToSDotNW, a team of trainee's and some guys who were from Team Symphonia, and of course Team Symphonia and Team Destiny.

Tales of Milkthefranchisia
Or
Tales if Iaiaia!

Is there any indication about whether these games are Team Symphonina, Team Destiny, or random 3rd party people? None of the ones not by either TS or TD have been decent yet.

I certainly agree, that's pretty much the only title I'd least feel embarrassed to bring up in a verbal conversation.

Of course, they could do better.

Tales of Releasing games in America would be better.

Ugh. I actually like Tales of Ten more than any of them, they should just call the next game that.

I don't know … Tales of the Abyss was absolutely about an abyss and Tales of Vesperia was absolutely about Vesperia.

Gracia, Floria and startear doesn't sound too bad. Though it isn't the name that matters after all. I'm more worried about it actually getting localized outside Japan. Namco doesn't seem to confident in the series for the west.

I wonder how they came up with these names.

Tales of Floria has the best flow I would say. But I agree its a bit ridiculous their naming of the francise. Then again whats the point in getting excited if just one of the games might enter the western market :p.

I'd bet the -ia group is a trilogy or anthology or bundle of cell phone games. startear is probably it's own thing.

I dunno about that either, some of their past trademarks are actually better than the crap names they're falling into now, they'd better dig them, for instance I remember Tales of Eternia had a trademark for Tales of the Two Worlds, Tales of the Tempest had Tales of the Howling and Tales of the Doom Sign, Tales of the Abyss had Tales of Harmonia… And I mean, at least those alternate titles had SOMETHING to do with the plot itself and were good enough names as far as I'm concerned… These new ones though… aren't.

Why don't they just choose a title they already trademarked then? Bamco is pretty strange. Like not localizing a single DS Tales title!
