The all encompassing Tales thread, Because some more recent RPGs don't posess the awesomeness. Options

Why the hell has no one thought to start this yet? (And yes Sturm, I searched, and only found threads for the games individually.)


Anyway, back on topic, I believe this series to be the greatest RPG series ever. The battle system is much more fun than say FF or Dragon Quest. I have played all but two of the games, including the handhelds, and I must say, the games have blown me away. I think the only other person at LCN who enjoys this series more than I is Ash.

My favorite game in the series so far is Tales of Rebirth(which hasn't been played by many Americans due to no international release, like most of the series).

I have yet to finish Abyss fully yet, so when I am, it might replace Rebirth as my favorite.



But I digress, this thread is for talking about the Tales games(all of them), why you love or hate them, which is your favorite and such, etc.


Now, begin.

Not in a discussion regarding play time, except in playing down the amount of time it took... Oh! So you COULD have beat it in twenty hours, easily, you just spent too much time messing around to do so. Okay. That's fine.

Ugh, this is dumb. I've beaten Metroid Prime in about 3 hours but that doesn't mean on my first run through it took that long, nor does it mean I could have. I didn't know the mechanics, I didn't know where to go, I didn't know what to do.

Maybe if you powerlevel. Avoiding most battles, and playing on hard mode from the start, they can be obnoxious, to say the least.

No, they're just easy. The only "difficulty" comes from bullshit moves like Javelin that are impossible to dodge and terrible AI.

I don't think I got a single game over in all of Symphonia, and you can bet your ass I never ever grind in rpgs if I can help it.

Not it doesn't. Free run should be removed, in my opinion. It's unnecessary, and in both Vesperia and Abyss, since the camera has to pull out when you activate it, it causes a lag between when you can act and move, which just takes you out of the game entirely.

Are you saying Free Run doesn't make it easy?
