Favorite Tales of games ?

[Sunnyside]

Yeah. The reason is that they used the japan only PS2 port as the base for the HD version.
While I know undub exists, it is kinda easier to play the game from my discs than get one of those. To me Tales games are OK dubs, just that the thing they skimmed with was the skits being voices in dub, making me play Abyss with an undub to restore that content, and Vesperia was very OK to play originally on 360 when the skits are fully voiced.

Something about the Gamecube source code being lost, or that the PS2 version had more content so they opted to use that as the base. Either way it's sad.
The lack of voiced skits is a bummer but I'd still lean towards the original. I'm no frame snob but I couldn't stand battles in the HD collection.

Honestly PS2 is weaker than GameCube, that's why the game run like crap on PS2. But I'll make a point about it later on to say something. And I checked around and confirmed how rest of ports are locked to 30 FPS that does confirm they just ported PS2 port rubbish.

Source code is not a "magical text" that you can copy paste and make the game work on other platforms. To port the game you still have to tweak source code to befit the "game" into the "reality" of the target platform. It means gotta rewrite the codes that directly interract with the hardware and due to hardware limitation you may need to "demake" the assets so you may need to re-create the assets. So it's like translating a book to another language. In the process "meanings" are lost so you have to optimize the game. That's why porting the game to PS2 by using GameCube source code would be harder and way more time waster BS than actually using GameCube source and add whatever feature added to the PS2 version to the source code to release it to platforms that's not weak as PS2 because they don't require tons of work to optimize the source code as they did for PS2 to make the game run in playable way.

All I can say is they are lazy so they did lazy port jobs as if PS2 port was superior. GameCube could run games on 60 FPS but later consoles made people enforce enjoying 30 FPS so they didn't care how much these ports lack quality.

This could help people see the series as a whole.

I played Tales of Graces Remastered when it got released back in January, had a fun time with playing it.

I absolutely LOVE Tales of Vesperia.

I've tried a few others, but they never really managed to grab me the same way. Played Symphonia as a kid but wasn't overly invested, but I've downloaded Abyss and I'm looking forward to giving it a go.

No I did not I had to chose carefully wich I add as the Poll only offered a limited options to offer.So I sadly had to let it out.You can also reread what I wrote As I stated it already.But no prob ;)

Well, I understand his comment. Even being limited, you can't skip the first game of the saga, where everything began. Because you're young, but for me it's also like any other game has no meaning if the original one isn't there.

Sigh I had to skip a Game if I wanted it or not.And regardless of the Game I would skip people would complain.So don't complain to me about it complain that the Poll only Offers only a limited number that I can add.I would have added it if I could,and I am not that young anymore I know the First Game is Important but like I said I had no Choice I had to chose and my Options where limited.
Besides you still can write your Favorite Game regardless if I could add it to the poll or not.

My mistake, I see you had to leave some out.
Tales of Phantasia would be my favorite then, with Vesperia being a close 2nd

Wich Version of Tales of Phantasia as there are many Versions.I personally heard the Ps1 Version is the Best.So what do you think is the Best Version of Phantasia ?

 

[nobitakun]

As long as it is not the GBA version, Super Famicom, PSP or PS1 will do. My favourite is PS1 because it was the first one I played, but PSP version has everything voiced.

Is the Gba version that Bad ?

 

[dropsmegamega]

I have yet to play more of this series, but I have so much nostalgia of playing Phantasia on ZSNES with dejap translation, it was the first fantranslation I played and I doubt anything will top that game for me, even if it was somehow objectively better.

 

[Nelson2001 Nelson2001]

Honestly, among all the games in the Tales of franchise, I've only played Tales of Symphonia on the GameCube.

I am Currently playing it ;) but the Ps3 Version

Tempest. :)

 

[Aziamuth]

I wish I could participate but I only played Symphonia, Zestiria and the opening hours of Vesperia. I'd say Vesperia is the best out of the three but at the same time I didn't play enough :/
