Tales series

MR.NOODLE · April 13th, 2008

I just got done playing tales of Symphonia for the fifth time and i was wondering
are the other tales games any good. btw I'm not interested in the hand held console games so don't even suggest it.

<--- thats funny

Phil · April 13th, 2008

have you tried something called final fantasy?

Tales of syphonia is the best,,,,the searies goes downhill from there

Paratech · April 13th, 2008

Isn't Tales of the Abyss very good? I have it for the Playstation 2, but I still have to try it.

I was thinking of starting Tales of Symphonia on the Wii first, I have the Gamecube version.

You're talking as if Symphonia was the first. The only ones I really didn't like were Tales of Destiny and Tales of Legendia (and that one still was pretty good). I haven't played Tales of the Abyss, though I heard it was downright spectacular.

Tales of Destiny II (this one, not this one) is also a very high-quality title. The original Tales of Phantasia (SNES) was also a great title, but the music and art style in the PSX and GBA versions were kinda lacking.

Check them out man. Symphonia is the only one in the series with a 3D battle system, but they still work the same in a linear fashion in all other installments in the series.

Tales of phantasia, line that I remeber the best:"I'm sure she's a tiger in the bedroom!"

I gotta try finding tales of abyss...

Haha, yeah, that was a good one. Nothing beats the orgasm scene though.

skoreanime · April 13th, 2008

Have to agree with Mako Eyes, Tales of Eternia rocks

Abyss is also just as good.

P.S.
Is that Gokudo in your sig Radix?

i was gonna start it but the only way of getting them (without buying them) is my friend who is in New York so until he comes back I'll have to wait.

thanks I'll try it out

And this is kinda off topic but has anybody played the second Baten Kaitos. I played the first one and thought it was decent and was wondering if i should pick up the second one.

Dude... so not true. Run-on gags, cheesy plot, half-present voice acting, sleep inducing second half.

Heh, I guess that explains why I didn't find it so bad. I don't think I've even reached halfway into the game. My friend owns it, so I just play it at his place from time to time.

But hey, it has my favorite soundtrack out of the whole series. Maybe that's why I'm so partial to it.

Tales of Vesperia will bring the series back to life again.

Leiw · April 14th, 2008

liked : ToD (ps1) + ToE (ps1) + ToA (ps2)
didn't like : ToL (ps2) + ToS (GC) + ToDR (ps2)

waiting for the tales of phantasia patch now

hopefully Destiny 2 and Rebirth (both ps2) will also have a translation someday

MR.NOODLE · April 16th, 2008

You didn't like ToS? why?

Matis · April 16th, 2008

As far as I know, Tales of the Abyss has a battle system similar to Symphonia, but improved. Don't take my word for it, though.

I've only played the GBA, GBC, SNES and PSX games, so I can't comment on the newer ones, but...

I've heard that the PS2 remake of Destiny and the PS2 Destiny 2 have actually the best battle system in the series, it being very fast paced and actually very hard too.

Still, from the ones I played(all of the ones available for the consoles listed above, bar Summoner's Lineage for GBA), I must say that Tales of Eternia is by far the best of them, with Narikiri Dungeon 2-3 coming close in battle system and Phantasia having the best story and most likable characters of them all.

I know where Liew is coming from. Symphonia hooked me with the battle system and game's depth alone. Some of the characters are pretty lovable too. However, the voice acting is shoddy, the music can be annoying at times, and the digital animation (on the field, not in battle) is downright laughably horrible. The storyline is a little hard to follow too on one playthrough, but I've beaten the game like 10 times and should probably have a good grasp of it by now.

^ This.

Densetsu · April 16th, 2008

I only played Tales of Destiny for PS1 (i think it's Tales of Destiny. I always get confused with names for this franchise). Eh, it was alright. Got to second disc and stopped halfway through. Kinda got boring. Atleast it had some decent voice acting.

Cid Highwind · April 16th, 2008

How are the PSP Tales games anyway?

I've been playing Tales of Eternia for a couple of hours now and I enjoy it, but I doubt the quality of the other games.

It was before I changed, it was gokudo in my avatar too... One of my favourite comedies

But back to topic, mako eyes... orgasm scene?

This was actually early in the game, probably not long after you get Arche on your party. The group take a trip across the ocean on a ship, if I recall correctly. Klarth and Arche are busy getting blind drunk, while Cless and Mint (being the innocent teenagers they are) just sat there.

Arche passes out and starts dreaming about getting DRILLED by Cless. She's dreaming out loud and the other three get a running commentary on what she's experiencing in her kinky dreamworld. I'm pretty sure this scene was culled in all versions except the SNES one.

As for the number of games, there's a pretty extensive list.

Tales of the Abyss is the best Tales series. (PS2)
Then Tales of Phantasia is pretty good too on PSP
