love it! love it! love it!
Presea is very cool as well with her big axe. And Genis' high level magic just looks f###ing great.

They haven't ported it for the PS2, have they? I really want to play Tales of Symphonia, but alas, I have no GameCube. I guess I'll just have to wait for Tales of Legendia to come down in price. XP

I love Tales of Symphonia! ^_^ I don't believe theirs a "Tales of" that I didn't like. I think this one has to be second. Tales of Destiny 2 was the best. But out of all the "Tales of" characters, Kratos has to be the hottest. ^-~

can't wait for the new 'Tales' adventure on the DS.

I really loved this game. It's one of the few games that I actully went and did all the side quests for just because I wanted to spend more time with the fun characters.

Great game. Played it so many times. I'd probably be playing it even more if my brother didn't borrow it and never gave it back. :(

I loved this game. The battle system is so fun you can play it over and over again and not get tired. Didn't care much for the ending. *shrugs*

It seems like all the Tales games have an ending that just makes you go "meh". I'm currently playing Tales of Legendia, so hopefully it won't be like that. There's a Main Scenario and then there are Character Quests, so I can look forward to TWO endings. :)

Really good graphics for Gamecube. Love the battle/fighting simulator thingy... xD;;

I'm wondering about the part on the begging where you move a Gamecube to open some doors, how that part on PS2?

The skeleton guy is this boss-thing you fight a buncha times. The game is really cool, but I like Tales of Destiny better. ^^ I hate--HATE--Colette with SUCH a vengence that I terrify people when speaking about her. I hate her so bad. I can't really give you any rational reasons, there is just SOMETHING about girls like her who make me wanna tear my hair out every time they speak! (Flonne from Disgaea, Elena from Grandia 2, and Aeris from FF 7 also inspire these feelings, but not to the extent of Colette) I tried my damndest to make her hate me, and she still LIKED Me!!!! AGH! It drives me NUTS!!!

But Kratos was uber cool. ^^ I liked his secretive nature. I also liked the scenes where he trained with Lloyd a whole lot. Zelos was funny and all, but I thought Kratos was better, so I went the Kratos route. ^^

Colette is soooo cool!

Please god, tell me all of Lloyd's moves aren't just bigger versions of his starting moves.

I liked this game a lot. The new tales game that came out, Lengendia I don't like =/ which sucks because I payed full price for it thinking that it would be good like Symphonia.

I think what makes this game the most fun is that four people can play in one battle. So all my siblings can join in with me. We each have our own characters. Mine is Genis.

Oh man, I absolutely LOVE Tales of Symphonia -- I rented it a total of 25 times. My fiance was working at Hollywood Video then and we just renewed it for months on end since it was free to do so. I worked through it at such a leisurely pace that I actually still need to beat it.. and since he's not working there any longer, I need to own it. Argh. XD

I loved using Presea in her Klonoa costume -- so cute. ; w;

I think Kratos has to be the coolest character^^

@xion: have you been to the desert-city yet? (before you try to enter the second temple)

The fire temple? Did you go through the sequences in the desert town first? You need to do those before the game will let you in

I'm playing Legendia right now... so far I don't like it as much as Symphonia, but I haven't beat it yet, in the final chapter of the main story. I'll post again to let you guys know if I thought it was overall better, worse, about the same. :)

i do have one question: one of my friends told me they have an anime for the game is it true

There was one report of it here:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/article.php?id=4703
But it hasn't been made yet.

The two Tales anime are:
Tales of Phantasa (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3341) - 4 Episode OAV
Tales of Eternia (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=852) - 12 Episode tv series

the game was awsome but sadly my friends spoiled the ending for me and it realy pissed me off

I love this game. My favorite characters were Yuan, Kratos, and Lloyd. My least favorite...Cosette. I hate Cosette with my entire being. I like Yuan because he has a mustache that must people think is his mouth...or is it a mouth? I looks like a mustache I tell you!!!!

Miako

04-22-2006, 10:59 PM

No one likes Colette... and if you play Legendia, you also won't like Shirley.

My favorites were Presea and Genis. But Presea is still pretty high above Genis, but ya know, I have to have a girl and guy favorite.

04-23-2006, 03:02 PM

OoOoOo... Tales of Symphonia... I loved that game. My favorites were (and still are) Sheena and Kratos. Go summoning skills! ^^

KirbyHead

04-23-2006, 03:15 PM

Genis was the character I always played as (me and my sister played it together) but few people seem to realize his potential because they never let him get past intermediate skills. Well, I haven't done much with Presea, Regal, Sheena, and Zelos anyways, so I can't talk. Oh, and Collette. I'm sure if you use her a lot in your party, she becomes a powerful member, but it's really a hassle in the earlier parts of the game to have her in your party while fighting one of those deities.

But more importantly....

I WANT TALES OF THE ABYSS TO COME OUT! Or even be ANNOUNCED that it's coming to the U.S. :(

Someone told me that if Legendia sells well, they'll bring out Abyss, so... I sure hope Legendia is selling well.....

We got figurines of Lloyd, Genis, and Collette at Megacon. Unfortunately, they only had Presea and Sheena besides the aforementioned ones, but the people working their (they were so nice!) said they would have better, higher quality figures for ALL of the characters at JACON. So I'm getting there earlir so they don't run out!!!

#&*!&@ *wants Abyss to come out sooo bad*

I really don't know how the sales of Legendia are o.o I know there probably were a lot of preorders and initial buys, but after people realize how FRICKIN LONG and how ANNOYING Shirley can be and tell others...well...>_>..

And it's so full of dialogue o_o s'like...omg o_o...

but i likee :D
