And if sales are anything to go by, perhaps it's true.ĭuring a live stream on its official Tales Of YouTube channel, Bandai Namco revealed the best-selling Tales games of all-time worldwide and Symphonia topped the list. Arguably the best entry is still the 2003 release, Tales of Symphonia, which at the time arrived first on the Nintendo GameCube. There's been mainline entries, sequels and even spin-offs.
