2003’s Tales of Symphonia is the franchise’s best seller so far, moving about 2.4 million copies. Tales of Arise is selling at a fast pace, however, and could become the series’ new top star.

A new mobile take on the franchise, Tales of Luminaria, is in development. We’ll see if it can ride off of the momentum that Arise has created.
