Wooop! Another fan!
I only noticed the likeness when I found the picture of Emil and Umbreon, but then it just clicked. It is pretty sweet. Maybe next time I raise an Umbreon, I'll call it Tenebrae.
I haven't played the original, but I'm really liking the story of the sequel so far, favourite character? Probably Richter, his words are so wise. And yup, the Monster Catching is definitely awesome!
Yes, I am! They look amazing in HD. I was never really a fan of the Tales Of Series before I played that game, mainly because of the battle system, but now that I see that the battle system changes dramatically as you acquire more skills, I fell in love with them!
Don't spoil anything for me though! I'm in Asgard where Colette has saved Marta from falling off that cliff.
