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.

I wish Tales would admit the mistake of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.

I. HATE. THIS. GAME.

Okay... What's up with all these yaoi scenes with Emil and Richter? Oh, btw, Emil has NO SPINE. Grow a pair, you pathetic waste of character devlopment. I love how he flailed around his sword like a rabid banshee the first fight you have, before Ratatosk possession. :/

This game is NOTHING like the original. The "Centurions" are dumb (btw Aqua is voiced by the girl who voiced Etna in Disgaea, which was cool) and don't really tie in well to the original story. Lloyd's new voice actor is stupid; If they needed a new voice actor, they should've gone with his SC Legends voice. Also, if Kosuke Fujishima wasn't going to design the new characters at the time of creation of this game, then they should've put it off untill he could. The new characters look bleh, and what the hell happened to Yuan? He used to be cool, now he's queer. Recruiting monsters is cool but it sucks how you have to do it. The storyline is okay, but somewhat unoriginal. Symphonia would have been better off had this never been made.
