Death

I love the feeling when we lift off

Watching the world so small below

I love the dreaming when I think of

The safety in the clouds out my window

I wonder what keeps us so high up

Could there be a love beneath these wings

If we suddenly fall should I scream out

Or keep very quiet and cling to my mouth as I’m crying

So frightened of dying

Relax, yes, I’m trying

But fear's got a hold on me

Yes, this fear's got a hold on me

I love the quiet of the nighttime

When the sun is drowned in the deathly sea

I can feel my heart beating as I speed from

The sense of time catching up with me

The sky's set out like a pathway

But who decides which route we take

As people drift into a dreamworld

I close my eyes as my hands shake

And when I see a new day

Who’s driving this anyway

I picture my own grave,

'cause fear's got a hold on me

Yes, this fear's got a hold on me

Floating neither up or down

I wonder when I’ll hit the ground

Will the earth beneath my body shake

And cast your sleeping hearts awake

Could it tremble stars from moonlit skies

Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes

I live on the right side, I sleep in the left

That’s why everything’s got to be love or death

Yes, this fear's got a hold on me

I'm done.

Death of a Game Franchise

The second game in the series.

It's a sad day for gamers whenever a studio of a beloved game franchise gets disbanded. It's even sadder for fans of the Tales series.

Despite healthy sales, Tales Studio parent company, Namco Bandai, has decided to disband the studio. This doesn't mean the employees will be out of work. All employees will be absorbed into the parent company. Company-wise, it's a restructuring of their man power and doesn't really say anything about the future of the Tales series. Namco Bandai could still release these games. Nothing in the company's release statement says the team will be broken up. But it won't be the same.
