While entries in the series generally stand independent of each other with different characters and stories, they are commonly linked by their gameplay, themes and high fantasy settings.Most of the mainTalesgames have beenlocalizedfor North America and Europe, although almost all of the spinoff titles have not been released abroad. While generally seen as anicheseries in English speaking regions,Talesis considered a high-profile property in Japan, just behind other series such asFinal FantasyandDragon Quest.As of December 2013, the series has sold 16 million units worldwide.

Video games

In 2007, series producer Makoto Yoshizumi defined two classes ofTalesgames, "Mothership Titles" and "Escort Titles"."Mothership" essentially means "Main series", where as "Escort" essentially means "Spinoff".The games are also frequently given what is called a "Characteristic Genre Name", which is a short subtitle or phrase that outlines the game's overall theme.There are also terms that are used in remakes or ports of games: "R" stands for "remake" or "re-imagination" (as inHearts R), while "F" inGraces Fstands for "future", in reference to the game's extra story content.
