Tales of Destiny 1 good?

[mecharmor25]

So far I have played Tales of Phantasia for SNES, PSX and GBA. After that I went and searched for Tales of Destiny, the reviews and screens at gamefaqs don't seem to give a very positive sign about this game.

I concluded the problems i heard are

- swords are overdone
- using graphics from tales of phantasia SNES version, as in copy and paste, not all but some...
- many complain that the story is very very unmotivating..... even for reviews with 10/10 at gamefaqs.
- Battle control is easier in PSX tales of phantasia or same.


I just want to know what people here will think about Tales of Destiny 1.
Btw, just to make sure you are clear, I'm talking about Tales of Destiny ONE for psx, NOT Tales of Destiny 2/eternia. and finally, does it work good with EPSXE?

[itzdaviboi]

Yeah.... epsxe gives you better quality than playing on the tv unless you have those high digital plasma tv...

I actually thought ToD was pretty good. At the time of it's release, alot of games were going and trying revolutionize or even give a new feel to rpg's. ToD came along and gave me that classic rpg feel.

I recommened it. Now if only Namco would of brought over it's true sequal for ps2.

[BeNooL]

I discovered the Tales of series with ToD and I really enjoyed it.

I could only recommand you to try it too!

yeah, Zer0Soul, I wish for that as well...

- swords are overdone

Kinda. Most characters use swords, but that's part of the story.

- using graphics from tales of phantasia SNES version, as in copy and paste, not all but some...

BS. The graphics are very similar to the PSX version fo Tales of Phantasia. In fact, I think the ToP remake used the ToD engine.

- many complain that the story is very very unmotivating..... even for reviews with 10/10 at gamefaqs.

The story is so-so. Nothing really innovative of special, but not bad for this kind of game.

- Battle control is easier in PSX tales of phantasia or same.

About the same as the PSX Tales of Phantasia.

My personal option of the game: It's pretty good, story a bit below Tales of Phantasia, but overall nice. If you like the series you may want to try Tales of Destiny 2 (aka Tales of Eternia) as well, this one has a MUCH improved battle system IMHO.

Good game. I suggest playing it while you have nothing else to do, while its fun it did *almost* make me lose interest about halfway through, but i decided i would just finish it since i come this far (and since i loved ToP!)

[Phoenix Flame]

If you haven't played Tales of Destiny 2 (Tales of Eternia in Japan) then I highly recommend you do so. I thought that game was brilliant.

[cutie]

Hi all. Tales of Destiny for Playstation is an excellent game. I highly recommend it. It plays flawlessly on ePSXe for me.
cutie :)

[Quatro]

ToD is a good game... but the random battles S*CKS big time...

[cutie]

Hi all. I also did not like the random battles in Tales of Destiny but I searched until I found some cheat codes that disabled them. Then the game was a lot more fun.

I don't trust that gamefaqs reviews cause they all sucks and lie, they put score 10/10 or 9.5/10 for Bloody roar 4 but inside the review, they all saying it sucks, it's bad and etc, etc. and btw I also looking for tales of destiny 1 and 2 but i didn't know in which platform tales of destiny 2 is released.

Tales of Destiny 2 (Tales of Eternia in Japan) is for the PSX.

[Kellicros]

The true sequal of Tales of Destiny is on PS2 though.

[Quatro]

the ToD 2 (Tales of Eternia) is a much better than ToD 1 for PSX... you might want to get that one too...

well what I love most on ToD is its battle system...

[Foxfyre]

Tales of Destiny one was a great game. Granted it was an early psone game, so don't expect anything fantastic, but it is a great old school rpg. Highly recommended!

[BeNooL]

ah all this talk about ToD made me start playing ToP on the good'ol SNES ^^

[Sampah]

The true sequal of Tales of Destiny is on PS2 though.

Really?! there's a TOD in PS2? is it a japanese or english version?

[(F)ragnarok(F)]

its the sequel to TOD1 iirc n i think TOD1 is alrite. the story is kinda ****ty though cuz it doesnt attract me to it n encloses me in taht story. TOP was way better, even the one on SNES ;)

[kougaiji]

anyway, the songs are good as alway

[Kane]

Really?! there's a TOD in PS2? is it a japanese or english version? Japanese only so far. No plans have been announced for a ToDII stateside release. I think they might think people will get confused because of thier brilliant idea of naming Tales of Eternia ToDII stateside.

[kougaiji]

YEAH i d like to see how they gonna rename it...if they want money, namco certainly will make a US ver.

[cutie]

Hi all. Please forgive a new comer's silly question, but I thought that Tales of Destiny 2 (I have both for the Playstation) was just that Tales of Destiny 2 the sequel to Tales of Destiny. Now you say it is not? Then I'm sorry but I am confused here. What exactally is Tales of Destiny 2 then? I haven't played it yet but I am wondering because now I am hoping that I will like it. Since I had assumed that it was Tales of Destiny 2 when I bought it, I was sure then that I would like it since I liked Tales of Destiny very very much. Now I am not sure that I will like it. Please help a confused lady here would you? Thanks so much.
cutie :)

[kougaiji]

Hi cutie. there are five Tales by now.
tale of ... (sorry for my english), tale of destiny,tale of eternia,tale of destiny2, and there is a new tale on NGC which is good also.

the problem is the japanese thought tale of eternia(3rd)(FOR PS) might not sell well abroad so they name it tale of destiny II(3rd)(FOR ps) to attract eyeballs...now the real tale of destiny II(4th)(forPS2) is out in Japan...

[cutie]

Hi all. Ah, I see now. Thanks for the kind explanation kougaiji. So do you think that I will like Tales of Eternia if I liked Tales of Destiny? Which I did very much.
cutie :)

[Sampah]

too many tales here, and I'm getting confuse anyway all tales are good.

[kougaiji]

LETS PUT IT THIS WAY
in my opinion,Tales of Eternia is better than the PS ver Tale of Destiny
in graphic,in gameplay...maybe in story also

[Quatro]

> So do you think that I will like Tales of Eternia if I liked Tales of Destiny? Which I did very much.

you bet... and lesser random battle :p
