Question
I got like 4 Tales games on hand. Vespera, Graces F, Hearts R and Symphonia 2. Ive started Symph 2 and Hearts R. I wanna save Vesperia for last. In which order should I tackle these? I was gonna go for Symph 2 first to see why its so polarizing because everytime I look for issues it has to due with the cast.

People say Lloyd and co got ruined and they hate Emil. Emil is def a bit too exaggerated as that weak MC archtype but it balances imo when that other personality takes over

You can go from worst to best, Symphonia 2 isn’t long and is the worst of the list for me. I remember reading the budget wasn’t huge so it lacks basic things like leveling up the original cast (makes them useless at some point since monsters get way stronger than them) etc. it’s still enjoyable tho, Tenebrae, Ratatosk, battle system, music
 but I guess the deception comes from the fact I’m a huge fan of the first one that was way more complete.
Never played Hearts R. Graces F has an awesome fighting system but poor, poor story. Still a great game imo I enjoyed playing it, just wasn’t memorable.
Vesperia is my 2nd fave Tales game, this game is just wonderful. Cool story, cool characters (Yuri, Rita, Raven
 The memories!), awesome music and great battle system. I sold my Xbox 360 but kept the game because I know I’ll end up buying one to play it again.

I used to collect these games but stopped at Graces F, I don’t know about the new one yet. Skipped all the late PS3 ones.

Thanks for the insight. Yeah my friends who are Tales fans also say Graces F is fun but that the plot is an overload on power of friendship lol. Guess I’ll tackle Symph 2 first once Im back on the Tales grind

Tales of Graces F’s “plot” nearly killed my love of the series.

And I actually liked Luke.

Oh
so the little blonde kid is a boy.

er
anyone has Tales of Symphonia on steam? Whats the consensus of the pc port?

Tales of Berseria — GAMEPLAY with English Subs & Dubs!




The ps3 is a decade old. Can we move on?

How the fuck do they expect to sell more ps4’s when they got developers making games for the ps3 first and then just porting them to the ps4. Then they want to sell us a upgrade for the ps4?

For what? To play games that look like they would run on a psp?

So, I really liked Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Vesperia, they had really good combat systems and I had alot of fun just doing battles (Tales of Hearts R was ok).

I bought Tales of Zesteria but is it just me or is something,vastly different in this battle system? I only played it for 2 hours but I didn’t feel like I had the freedom like I did in Vesperia and Symphnoa, can someone break down how the battle system works? I dont get it.

Release in Europe on my birthday
 Little me would be happy, too bad I’m not as huge as a fan I was years ago.
Maybe it’s time to give Tales another chance, I need to read some reviews and look at gameplay vids.

Zesteria was a bit lackluster. I preferred both Xillia games to Zesteria. I’m a going be a hypocrite. I’m annoyed with all the remasters but I’d buy a Tales of Vesperia remaster in a heartbeat.
