inside look at how bandai namco names Tales of games

How to pronounce Sgfdjtrdtfdkia: "Scuff-fird-jut-trid't-fud-kee-ah"

Thomas Namco and his partner, Dick Bandai.

I like to think that the naming was happening in real time with the interview and the guy was just making up bullshit until the other guy came up with a name, and then he sightreads the pronunciation first try

Needs more umlauts in hexadecimal morse flag code.

anyone notice how dirty the screen is xD lmao
damn, when you sneeze you must do a full frontal spray !
i thought it was my screen...

At least they don't set everything in a post-apocalyptic environment like 90% of games these days.

tales of shubadubfrubundighthiyobuordyiwqiadsgia

similarly in dragon age the world is called Thedas as an acronym for "the dragon age setting" that was used during development and stuck

Bro just went with it no questions asked

Our next game will be named Tales of Mxyzptlk.

Wait. What do you mean it’s taken?

i like how thomas namco was still talking while the other guy said "fack it" implying this was live and this was all in the moment and he was still able to pronounce it perfectly

Lol

Thomas Namco is a genius

Thomas Namco is an excellent spokeperson if he could read that so easily

now that you collab with bandai, will we see Prozdadjfhqojerherfia

I didn't know about this but I searched for the list of Bandai Namco "Tales of" games, and holy shit he's right XD

Fuck you, I have laryngitis and I'm not supposed to talk and you made me laugh out loud.

I’ve always looked at this video without the context of it being about tales games, and now having suffered through them I can confirm this is in fact funny.

i am gonna love Tales of Dementia ,but i forgot what the plot is

I know for sure that it’s way too late for them to use “Tales of Arcadia”

Lolllll

Phantasia, Eternia, Symphonia, Vesperia, Xillia, Zestiria, Berseria. Guys, we get it, just add "ia" in the end of something and there, tales title.

Tales of Mitochondria: Powerhouse of The Cell

Careful, a bunch of random consonants followed by "ia" is the first half of the spell to summon Cthulhu!

I swear it used to be Namco Bandai and then they swapped it around. Mandela effect?

Tales of The Abyssia

Take a word, add "ia" to the end.
Symphony
Berserk
Fantasy
Vesper?

My boy Thomas Namco be spittin facts

Tales of games peaked at Vesperia.
I haven't made it passed the intro of one since.

You made pac man cry, Thomas.

juxtaposia was a good one

Pronounced like Scufford-juh-turd-fud-Kia

As long as it ends in “-ia” you’re pretty much good.

And sometimes they spell real words

My favorite part is the subtle idea that this is happening concurrently, and the talking head who presents these games just read that off a teleprompter using nothing but years of practice and sheer confidence. What's more, the naming department put off naming the thing so badly that they had to literally write the name in at the last second and no one noticed.

Watching this in memory of Asteria shutting down this may

Dude please make more content. I can only watch your previous 10000 videos so many times

Finally a sequel to Tales of Fhqwhgads

That’s actually sounds like a great name for somereason

Don't forget the -ia at the end

I thought I'd seen all the old ProZD sketches! How did I miss this one?? It's brilliant!!

Isn't that this Scottish Town?

どういうことや

Bandai? Like the Power Ranger? :O

Tales games sadly have lost their charm.

As an aside, that screen is disgustingly dirty, I hope he cleaned it at least once in the last six years, lol.

Hilariously, the handheld spinoff games are the only ones to be named after actual words (besides Abyss): Tales of Innocence, Tales of Hearts, and Tales of the Tempest.

Can't wait for Tales of Lymphoma!
