Tales Of

[Guinea]

I've been meaning to make this thread for a while now. Tales is an RPG that just bled anime and good storytelling. I remember way back I had a choice: either get Star Ocean or Tales of. I picked Tales. Granted, I've beaten most of them, but still have a few to play: Xillia, Zestiria, Graces, Innocence, Tempest and the upcoming release of Phantasia X.

I'm still going to play Star Ocean though, but this ain't about that.

My favorite Tales game is Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. I really like Emil as a main character, the guy is badass af. He switches from calm, shy emo boy to fuck outta my face homie in 2 seconds, I love that bipolar mf.

I've beaten a bunch of Tales games. This year I've finished Berseria, Arise and Hearts R, loved them all. Can't wait to start Zestiria next followed by Graces and Innocence.

Do you like the Tales games? What are your favorites? Hoping to see some Vesperia love in here.

I have only played a few of them but Tales of Destiny is my favorite so far. I have played Destiny Eternia Symphonia Legendia and Zestiria, Eternia and Zestiria I didn't like or finish the rest were all pretty good though.

Zestiria & Berseria are kind of tied for first place for me. I love them both a lot, and replayed them both over the last year or so. I haven't really played a bad one yet, but I also haven't played them all of them. I've played pretty much all the ones from the PS3 generation-onwards.

I prefer Tales, but I also like Star Ocean quite a bit, even the not too well received more recent entries.

Tales Of can be genuinely enjoyable or some of the most abhorrent pieces of @#% I've ever played.

I enjoyed Versperia and Berseria, one because of the novelty and the other because it was ridiculously edgy. I've tried many but I just can't force myself into all the cheesy, generic exposition and some very, very questionable boss fights.

We may differ on our general view of the franchise, but that we can agree on, good ser!

Only played Phantasia and Destiny, all I can say is:

FOX LIKE A TIGER

Still need to get around to playing Berseria and Vesperia but so far I am enjoying my time with them.

 

[Bandini]

love them all

Edit- Oh! Forgot to mention. The animes are great. Like, all of them. The only one that's kinda lame is the Eternia anime, but it adds more to the story of the game.

Played Arise and Fantasia. Currently playing through Graces F. Next stop will be either Xillia, Versperia or Berseria. Loving the series so far!

I started with Tales of Symphonia, finding it in a rental store my first time, and it was so good, so well-made and so fun, it became one of those games you decide not to bring back to the rental store. A few months later, the rental store closed: bye-bye late fees!

It is. My favorite console RPG.
I would play it with someone else that liked it as much as me, if I could ever find someone who does. I prefer to have someone moderately skilled in my party, so I don't have to play as Raine.

I've only played the DeJap translation of Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Symphonia. ToP was really good, one of my favourite snes rpgs. I preferred it to Star Ocean. I never ended up finishing Tales of Symphonia. I don't even really remember much about Symphonia. I've thought of going back and trying some of the other Tales games but I never really seem to be in the mood for them.

It's one of those series that I want to get much deeper into, I'm currently going through Eternia (PSP) or Phantasia (SNES, playing on 3DS) depending on what console I pick for the day, I really like both.

Tales of Destiny seems to be one of the better games in the series; from what little I've played of it, it was well-structured and interesting, with a really likeable main character.

Also there's 2P; gotta have multiplayer. I'm surprised no one's made a 2P hack of Phantasia yet. Probably really hard.
