alisaie August 28th, 2009 6:45 PM

Whoo~ /o/ So what shall be the first topic. The usual "favorite character/game" one, or somethin'?

alisaie August 28th, 2009 7:01 PM

Who's your favorite character?
Symphonia: Mithos Yggdrasil & Lloyd Irving
Abyss: Sync the Tempest and Guy Cecil
Phantasia: Cless Alvein.
Eternia: Ried, Meredy.
Vesperia: Rita Mordio, Repede

I think that's it. For now. XD;;

Graceful August 29th, 2009 7:14 AM

Hiya thundy! I'd like to join! Well...can I join? I've only read the manga so far.

Cherrim August 29th, 2009 7:46 AM

I wanna joooin~ ♥

My favourites are...

Symphonia → Kratos, Lloyd, Raine
Abyss → Jade, Anise, Peony
Legendia → Chloe... I guess? I need to replay finish this :(
Phantasia → Mint
Vesperia → Rita, Raven, Yuri

...I think that's it for games I've played. Don't have a favourite in ToS2.

alisaie August 29th, 2009 2:00 PM

It's hard to have a favorite in ToS2, considering that there aren't that many new people in the game. XD; If I had to pick someone from the second game though, it would have to be Emil, or Alice. The blondes... how ironic. >_>;

Taemin August 29th, 2009 2:48 PM

Whoooo, Tales club!

Totally joining~.

thedestinedblade August 30th, 2009 7:07 PM

Another Tales club? I'll join. ;D Definitely can't wait for Tales of Graces.

As for favorite characters:

Phantasia - Arche
Destiny - Lion
Eternia - Meredy, I guess.
Destiny 2 - Lion/Judas
Symphonia - Lloyd
Rebirth - Annie
Abyss - Guy
Legendia- Chloe
Vesperia - Karol
Tos2 - :/

Aether August 30th, 2009 7:19 PM

Can I has joinage please? :>

Stellar August 30th, 2009 7:37 PM

-faints-
PLZ BE TO JOINING.
Tales has got to be my biggest obsession since my childhood Pokemon phase. I've noticed there's a pretty big fanbase here on Pokecomm too. xD

thedestinedblade August 31st, 2009 8:41 AM

I hope Tales of Graces doesn't disappoint. :/ The six characters revealed so far look pretty original for the most part. The story seems like it's heading in the right direction too.

Stellar August 31st, 2009 8:43 AM

Awesome. ^^ So favorite characters...

Symphonia: Mithos. Definitely.
ToS2: Aster, Ratatosk, Emil, and Aqua. Mostly Aster. <3 Hell, I liked a lot of the characters here.
Abyss: I don't think I have one. o_o I thought Sync was kind of neat?
Vesperia: God, I don't know. xD Duke was cool, and a total creeper.
Destiny: Haven't played it tbh, but I love my little blonde mullet-head. :D

...yeah, I need to play the older games.

Stellar August 31st, 2009 10:41 PM

If you can try Phantasia (GBA), Destiny and Eternia [Destiny II in NA] (PSX).
I actually borrowed Phantasia from a friend of mine, but I couldn't really get into the gameplay. As for Destiny, I'm dying to get my hands on it, and Eternia would be nice as well.

I just wish more of them had been released here, though I guess the fanbase outside of Japan isn't all too impressive.

Stellar September 1st, 2009 3:42 PM

Quote:

I recommend the PS1 version of Phantasia better, the gameplay it's 1000 times better, there's a translation patch for that one, the problem it's that I don't know how to apply the patch, to the console, only to the emulator.
Well, I took your word for it and downloaded/patched the ROM. Almost got it totally working, I just have to mess with the sound plugin a bit more.

It's sad. I mean, I'm all for the big titles like Final Fantasy, but I've never seen characters and storylines as deep as those in Tales.

I heard about the deal with Eternia/Destiny 2 as well. I think it's kind of funny - everyone knows Reid is Stahn's real son.

alisaie September 1st, 2009 4:09 PM

Mn. I don't really have much to contribute for the actual topic right now, but I do want to say that Tales of Grace does look interesting. :D And it'll be for the Wii too, yaaaay~ -was kind of upset that Vesperia was for the 360; never got to really play it because of that.-

I can't wait for Spring 2010 though. Tales of Symphonia OVA: Tethe'alla Arc anyone~ ♥

That's right, I had forgotten it was coming out in Spring. Between that and HG/SS, I will be in dork heaven~

alisaie September 1st, 2009 4:15 PM

Tales of Symphonia OVA: Tethe'alla Arc, HGSS, Graduation, and my 18th Birthday are all in Spring 2010. I'm going to enjoy that Spring.

</off topic>

I can't see to see what Mithos looks in the OVA~ They showed Presea, Zelos, and Regal in the preview, but I'm guessing to avoid "spoilers" (Like there will be? xD; ) they didn't show Mithos. -has a feeling she will squeak a lot when Mithos is shown.-

Oh God me too. Mithos McSpandex has always been my favorite villain in anything, ever. xD

alisaie September 1st, 2009 5:19 PM

Yeah. I know about the Vesperia Movie ( I have a friend who's her favorite Tales of Game is ToV). However, I'm much more excited for ToS OVA: Tethe'alla Arc, because ToS is my favorite game. That, and it's coming in October. XD; So the new for that has been out for a while.

alisaie September 2nd, 2009 8:51 PM

ff. I've been meaning to watch more than the first part of Tales of Rebirth for a while. >_>; -has had it bookmarked for like... several months now, orz- I also need to finish watching the OVA/Anime for Tales of Eternia -got to like what... episode 13?-

I've been wondering... How many of you all would like to see some Tales of Symphonia wallpapers I made a while ago~ ( Sadly, both of the wallpapers are 1280 x 800. I do have one of them in 1023 x 768 though. )

I'd love to see them, considering I fail at graphics. xD I only have a Mithos/Genis one that I commissioned from someone on Gaia.

btw, I'm up to the Underground Crypt (I think that's what it's called) in Phantasia, and the lava is all glitched up/slowing me down. I'm gonna have to wait until I find a way to fix it or just try and work around it. x_x

Cherrim September 4th, 2009 11:21 AM

I'd like to see them. :] I need more 1280x800 for my laptop's rotating wallpaper folder. ♥

alisaie September 4th, 2009 7:14 PM

fff. Well, you're in luck Inkpuddle~ One of them is Mithos/Genis? XD; The other one is Mithos and Martel. /yes was going through a Mithos phase when she made them.

I should really play more Phantasia... but for noooow~

Mithos/Genis Wallpaper
1280 x 800

Mithos and Martel Wallpaper
1024 × 768
1200 x 800

The 1200 x 800 one for the Mithos and Martel wallpaper does have a bit more to it and it's better in general, mainly because when I remade it to actually fix my desktop, I had extra room. Go fig. XD;

Sambul September 5th, 2009 5:16 AM

The power of Peach Pie.

The Force Cube system, Rush Gauge System, Enhance, just about almost everything is pretty unique and godly. The Character Interactions are pretty hilarious and amusing. Pretty fun game.

the game definitely sounds interesting, i wish it came to the US. The three-line linear battle system looks hard to grasp, but i do want the game just cuz the characters (mostly Veigue) are so awesome. xDDD

i wonder if it's worth getting imported. I actually wanna get Tales of Destiny Director's cut first. or maybe ToR for the PSP is just as good to get imported?

Stellar September 5th, 2009 2:16 PM

hfgjasgdhfjk those wallpapers are amazing, BinaryPeaches. I especially like the Mithos/Genis one, not only because those two are <3 when they're together, but it's put together really well and I like your use of brushes. I'd share the one I have, but I don't feel comfortable doing so without the artist's permission (and I haven't been to Gaia in quite a while, so no chance of that. xD)

Rebirth is really that good? I don't know much (anything, really) about the story so I guess I overlooked it. :/

thedestinedblade September 5th, 2009 3:01 PM

Rebirth is really good. It's my second favorite Tales game behind Destiny. Everything about the game is really well done. Veigue is probably the only really serious main character. ;D

Heehee, thank you, Inkpuddle! (Your signature makes me squee by the way~ Especially because of the song you chose to it. :D Perfect for a Yggdrasil Banner! ) They are <3 when they are put together~ And the greatest thing about it is that unlike the Martel and Mithos one, that one has a scan (that I colored) on it, so it's not like I have to credit anyone. XD;

I watched the first part of the Rebirth thing like... twice. I've yet to get pasted that. >_>; Orz... Mao is awesome though~ I have a feeling that when I do continue to watch Rebirth, I would definitely fall in love with Mao~

Thanks! Having mentioned Mithos/Genis I thought I'd throw something together. It's horrible though, I really do suck at graphics. xD But I've always thought that song fit them, or even Mithos alone, so well.
Scans are awesome that way, and you have so much to work with. Maybe I'll try putting together a wallpaper... it would be my first.

Also, in other failtastic news, I've discovered just why I haven't gotten any skits in ToP. My finger slipped and hit Select, and there's Cless and Klarth, talking about Sylph. I guess the titles don't show up, so I'm going to be pressing Select like a madwoman from now on. I want to cry when I think of everything I missed. D:

Ahaha, I saw that video. I watched it with a friend in school so everyone in class could hear the audio. xD

That's quite a collection. I envy the figures; all I have is Stahn and Kratos, and a mini Towel Boy Luke.

parallelzero September 7th, 2009 8:55 AM

Well I got Tales of Destiny, Destiny 2, and Rebirth off eBay for like $30 for all three, so I lucked out in that regard. I still need to beat them. I started a bit of each one to figure out which one I'm going to play first, and I decided on Rebirth (since there's a word-for-word translation guide on Gamefaqs \o/).

And I've decided on my favorite character from each game. While I haven't played them all, I've at least seen most of them in crossover escort titles.

Tales of Phantasia
Arche Klein

Tales of Destiny
Leon Magnus

Tales of Eternia
Reid Hershel

Tales of Destiny 2
Reala

Tales of Symphonia
Colette Brunel

Tales of Rebirth
Mao

Tales of Legendia
Senel Coolidge

Tales of the Abyss
Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear / tied with Arietta the Wild

Tales of the Tempest
Rubia Natwick

Tales of Innocence
Spada Belforma

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
Marta Lualdi

Tales of Vesperia
Droite and Gauche / Raven

Tales of Hearts
Kohak Hearts

Tales of Graces
Sophie (just guessing based on what I've seen so far >3)


And I bring you all Tales of Smoooooch, courtesy of Lightning for showing me.


Cherrim September 7th, 2009 8:59 AM

^ And courtesy of Mika for showing me. :p

Ageless Irony September 8th, 2009 5:11 PM

My sig and I need to be in this club.

Anyways, Legendia had the best characterization as well as Music.
The most enjoyable play experience, oddly, was Symphonia 2. Emil is great.
Abyss was fantastic all around, as was Symphonia.

Phantasia is a whole different ballgame of greatness, but I feel it should be categorized differently with Destiny and Eternia.

Stellar September 8th, 2009 7:09 PM

I've been wondering,would you like me to throw together a couple of banners to start off with? As I mentioned, I'm kind of sucky with graphics but I'm sure I could pull off something.

Eh, I liked a couple of tracks, but Legendia's OST was pretty much one of the biggest turnoffs for me. A lot of it hurt my ears to listen to, as it didn't have that polished quality Sakuraba's works seem to have.

Though I don't mind Shiina's works in Radiant Mythology 2 and VS.

alisaie September 8th, 2009 9:46 PM

I don't think I can really choose which game has the best music, as all of them that I have played have really great BGMs. Though I did like how Tales of Symphonia had a track for every member who would join your party, plus Mithos. Tales of the Abyss' Karma remixes are all pretty epic, along with the Tales of Symphonia Starry Heaven remixes (though they weren't in the english version. Ahh, that Yggdrasil battle would have been so much better with the Orchestra version of Starry Heavens playing there. Still can't really complain too much, though.)

I could also probably make a few banners. It'll give me something to do when I don't feel like doing anything else.

That is how Legendia wins in terms of music.

Also Mithos is my favorite character ever.

alisaie September 8th, 2009 9:52 PM

I do have to say that the BGM you link is good, but it doesn't speak for the whole game. I can't have too much of an opinion since I've yet to play the whole game, but yeah.

Mithos is my favorite Tales of Series enemy. I would think the two desktop wallpapers that I made would speak for me there.

Seeking Victory would have been a better example, since it's like the only song from the whole game that's commonly known.

A big problem with Legendia's music was the fact that most of it was reused over and over for different locations and scenarios to the point where you get sick of it. There just wasn't enough variety. And I have to say, Sea of Rage has to be one of the worst final boss themes I've ever heard.

DonRoyale September 8th, 2009 11:14 PM

I'd love to join.

I only really play ToS, but I plan to get Vesperia. My best friend says it sucks because he didn't like the demo; what are the opinions of everyone here?

Anyways, in ToS, I play every melee character, and sometimes even the magic-users.

In order of who I prefer playing:

1. Kratos
2. Zelos
3. Regal
4. Colette
5. Sheena
6. Presea
7. Lloyd
8. Raine
9. Genis

I find the whole Light Spear/Super Lightning Blade/Demon Fang combo a lot of fun. It helps me beat Abyssion easy. (I've beaten him on Mania with my four favorites so far. Sheena was the easiest for me, though, since Demon Seal is so damn useful to knock him down.)

But sign me up~ <3 ToS :>

Stellar September 9th, 2009 1:24 AM

Speaking of Vesperia, as well as the music, I really loved all the different remixes of Ring a Bell they threw in there. You'd think it'd get repetitive, but I found a lot of them to be really pretty. I can't remember all of the names, but I think my favorite is Unrequited Feelings. The ending credits also had a really nice one.

Sea of rage did kinda sunk, but noirmal boss music was great.
I do suppose you have a point, but I still think otherwise.

Speaking of Legendia, who else think Norma is awesome?
How about Moses' ending? :'(
OH GOD CHLOE'S ENDING WAS THE BEST THING EVERRRR

parallelzero September 9th, 2009 10:00 AM

Go Shiina's music is pretty good overall, I just don't think Legendia's OST was Shiina's best work overall. Some tracks from other games were good. For example, the alternate boss battle and final boss themes in Radiant Mythology 2:






Alternately, Shiina's arrangements of Seeking Victory (ToL) and Theme of Battle (ToD2) for Tales of VS are equally good:




DonRoyale September 10th, 2009 11:12 PM

I'm so pissed. I wanted to record myself beating Abyssion on Mania controlling each of the melee characters, but my camera decided to be a douche on me and broke. :V

Keep in mind, I'm doing it at full HP, with three other CPU-controlled partners. I could never do solos. (I tried...he murdered me. :V)

I must confess that I've never played Symphonia http://crimson-nocturnal.hostwoot.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif

I've played all but the most of the Japanese ones...
I didn't beat Destiny or Eternia though...

Cherrim September 11th, 2009 8:07 AM

For me...

Played - Tales of Symphonia 2, Tales of Legendia, Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Fandom Vol 2
Beaten - Tales of Symphonia, Tales of the Abyss

Abyss is the only one I've completed though--ie, gotten everything, max level, etc.

parallelzero September 11th, 2009 10:07 AM

Played: Destiny, Destiny 2, Rebirth, Dawn of the New World
Beaten: Phantasia, Eternia, Symphonia, Legendia, Abyss, Vesperia, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 1 + 2

Still in the process of getting through my Japanese ones (in the process of doing Destiny) and I'm like... two bosses away from the end of Dawn of the New World.

thedestinedblade September 11th, 2009 4:17 PM

Played: Destiny 2, Eternia, ToS2, Vesperia

I think I'll give Eternia another chance sooner or later. It's been awhile since I've played it.

Stellar September 12th, 2009 6:17 PM

Played/in the process of playing: Phantasia and Abyss. I've played Abyss countless times with my friends (namely Sambul) so I know the general plot from beginning to end. Can't tell you about the details, though.
Completed: Symphonia, Symphonia: DotNW, and Vesperia.

Like I mentioned earlier, I need to expand. :/ At least Phantasia is a start.

EDIT: Finally threw together some banners. They're a little big and they vary in height, but I think they came out okay. I only made three for now, but I may just end up with the whole VS. cast.

Of course I don't, that's why I made them. xD
Thanks. ^^ I'm working on a few more, they'll be done in a couple of days (or whenever I stop feeling lazy). Any character requests? Luke and Stahn are done, I'm moving on to Shing next.

That was the plan at first, but it seems a little unlikely...
I might just stop at Shing and go on requests from there. If anyone else in the thread wants someone specific, I can make it.

SolarAbusoru September 14th, 2009 10:52 AM

I've played and beaten Tales of Symphonia and am waiting for TOS2 and Tales of Graces.

Figures, I haven't played Legendia. But that's another one on my list. xD
I'm staying home "sick" from school today, so I'll (finally) get around to them.

EDIT: All done. ^^

Shing's... looks stupid, I know. I didn't know what to do with his hand sdkjgfkjdgf.
Thanks a lot for the help too. I actually went to Abyssal Chronicles' image gallery for an image of Walter, and lo and behold, their Legendia folder is completely empty. ._. Poor Legendia.

Emii September 18th, 2009 12:07 PM

Ooh!! May I join? :3 I love the Tales Series so much! <3

I got hooked when I rented Tales of Symphonia from Blockbuster a few years ago. I thought it looked cool. And then I fell in love with the game. I played through it multiple times, and then I decided to try Abyss and Legendia. Unfortunately my PS2 is stupid and doesn't like to play games all the way through. They both freeze up all the time, and the discs are in good condition, so. :\ So I played Phantasia and DotW since then~ Although I want to play them all.

O.O sorry for the long intro. xDD

Stellar September 18th, 2009 12:46 PM

Welcome to the club Emii. ^^
Thanks, I'll remake Shing's later.
As for how I got into Tales, my brother played Symphonia back when it first came out here in NA. I thought it was so boring, I used to tell him to go play FF or something. xD Then one of my school friends started talking about it maybe three years ago? And I told him I wanted to give it a second chance. He told me he'd lend it to me after he beat it again.
A year after that, I totally forgot about it until one day he brought it to school and handed it to me. xD I remember pointing to Zelos and asking, "Who's she? o_o"

But yeah, that sparked what seems to be becoming a pretty long obsession. -shot-

DonRoyale September 18th, 2009 1:33 PM

If you did a Kratos one, Ink, it won't show D:

I got into the Tales series after my best friend was sighted playing Symphonia. I picked it up later, beat it myself, and now play it more than him XD

Yeah, that happened to me too, but with many games, until stopped working, so sold it, and then bought a slim one, problem solved.

No need to apologize, that's a good idea for a new topic in fact. How did you get into the Tales series?

Members List Updated

Yay, thank you! =D Well I already answered that question, so.. yeah. x3 My favorite one was Symphonia though. =D It just brings back memories, and I really enjoyed it. And my favorite girl from the series is either Sheena or Colette, because Symphonia is awesome. 8D *is thinking about replaying it now*

Same. To be honest, while I was playing Abyss I came to the realization that it seemed that the characters were more developed and the story a bit deeper, but... there's something about Symphonia that will always make it my favorite. Probably just that it's my first... xD Sheena is cool too. Sheelos is one of my favorite pairings in the game. ^^

Just finished remaking Shing, btw.

You can just replace the banner that's already there. xD

I think you're the first person I've met who's so into Tales but has never played Symphonia. o_o I really liked it. I was addicted to it for about a month or so, and my brother would ask, "Haven't you beaten that already?" and I would say, "Well, yeah, but there's sidequests and... I DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE THE GAME IS OVER OKAY."

And yeah, GC games are compatible with the Wii. Speaking of, I should to get a Wii one of these days...

No problem! It might be a while because I've been a little busy lately, but I'll definitely do it. Personally I prefer Sheena, but... Colette's neat too. xD Me and a friend of mine have this thing where I'm Lloyd, she's Colette, and our "son" is Karol from ToV.

Haha, that sounds like something me and my friend would do. :D But like I said, it's hard for me to choose between those two. I play Colette in something, so I kinda connect with her (that sounds so dumb ._.), but Sheena is awesome too, and I get tired of Colette being in EVERY SINGLE SCENE in Symphonia. One playthrough I did everything I could to make Colette hate me, and she was STILL in my top 3 closest characters. It was annoying. ><

But Sheena and Kratos were at the top, so yay ^^

I know what you mean, the first impression for me was, oh cool anime-style opening and cutscenes, then the battle system it was very unique, very dynamic, you move at will in the battle, but still you can use commands, the skits, and many more elements.
That's exactly what I thought when I rented Symphonia. I thought it would be a typical Final-Fanasty-esqe RPG with some anime cutscenes thrown in there. But I fell in love with the battle system and the skits, it makes the series much more enjoyable to me. :D

Oh, by the way.. does anyone know if Tales of Graces is going to be coming out in the US? I really want another title on the Wii, so..

Emii October 1st, 2009 8:15 PM

Bump!

I sure hope it gets released here though. ^^ And I'm so happy, BoA sings the theme! (I think..) So if it is brought here, I hope they won't just redo the whole opening song, since BoA sings in English as well. I love BoA, so I'd love it if they kept her =D

Also, random but.. am I the only girl in this club? xD;

And I heard a rumour the other day about the PS3 Vesperia port coming to NA. Apparently Troy Baker, Yuri's (totally awesome) voice actor, said something about being back in the recording studio.

Sorry I haven't been around to post, guys. Lots of drama going on... >>

I must join this. Tales FTW!

Also, the thing about Troy Baker saying that about being called back to record more lines is a rumor. All we have to go on is some random person's word that he asked Troy Baker about it and that's the response he got.

....although I have my fingers crossed that it's true >_> I've been wanting to play ToV for awhile, but I'd hate to pay for a 360(which I don't really like the idea of getting one in the first place) and then the PS3 version come out(which Namco would be kind of dumb not to- the PS3 lacks RPGs in the U.S., so it's a huge marketing opportunity...then again, it's Namco >_>)

I've heard this rumor too. If it's true, he's gonna be voicing for either ToV PS3, ToW: RD2, or ToVS. I'd like to see either of the three personally. :D

I think ToVS. is most likely. Funny, because I remembered that Troy voices Regal now too and I thought he may be voicing him for something instead, but he's not in any of the upcoming games. Poor Regal. D:

Everyone talking about it makes me really want to play it! Well.. maybe for Christmas I'll get lucky =)

Umm.. everyone probably knows this, about ToVS but "Namco Bandai has already filed a trademark for Tales of VS. in America, increasing its chances of a North American release, unlike its previous counterpart in the Tales Series, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2."
So yay!! Buuuuuut I don't have a PSP either D:

You should try out Radiant Mythology too, it's pretty fun. I wish Radiant Mythology 2 would get localized as well.

Corvus of the Black Night October 28th, 2009 11:41 AM

You don't mind if I join? I'm not a regular to the series (as I really only exposed myself to it over this summer) but the games I've played (ToS and TotA) are of great quality.

Personally, I felt that most of the characters in TotA had some serious flaws that outweighed their good (For example, Luke was an all around whiney ass loser, Anise was far one tracked, Tear was... Tear..., Natalia was way too much of a "goody-two shoes" and Asch was overly aggressive). However, I really ended up liking how their personalities intertwined and since Jade and Guy were there to offset the otherwise very negative cast, it was a great set of characters. Of course, I could get into the God Generals and all that fun jargon at Daath or between Kimlasca and Malkuth (spelling?), but I don't have the time to write an essay on TotA, XD

ToS... haven't finished it, been too busy lately. I LOVE IT THOUGH AND I SHOULD REALLY REARRANGE MY SCHEDULE. Colette, despite being dolthead of the universe, is my favourite character, and I can associate with her (except for her blatant stupidity sometimes >_>). I like the main cast as well, but they're the real opposite of TotA - mainly positive, with characters with great traits and one or two minor negative ones. And what's all this about how Kratos is so amazing? He's possibly the most wishy-washy character I've ever come across... MITHOS JOINED PETA AND DECIDED TO KILL ALL THE PEOPLE AND OR ELVES BECAUSE THAT WOULD STOP DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ANIMALS.

True story, you know.

Cherrim October 29th, 2009 8:15 AM

I found Guy to be one of the most depressing characters in the game, honestly. o_O; He had an upbeat personality but maaaan his past just made you want to angst. Actually, most of them made you want to angst. XD; It's still my favourite cast of the games I've played, though, since the characters just meshed so well together and unlike Symphonia, they weren't trying to juggle too many characters in the spotlight so no one got pushed to the side in favour of development for another character.

Corvus of the Black Night October 29th, 2009 4:47 PM

I loved both Guy and Jade. They were both characters that went through horrible moments in their lives and yet overcame it and became better people because of it. Luke just became a whiny-ass loser, Tear and Anise showed no real development (even though Anise was lulz) and Natalia seemed like a suckup throughout the whole game as well.

Speaking of which, not this year, but next year I'm going to Youmacon as Jade (because I share a strong affinity to his appearance) and my sister is going as Guy :33333

I also liked the God Generals, except for Sync (he looks so much cooler than he really is >_>) and Legretta (something about her really irked me). Also, Grand Chokmah > Baticul. I hated going to Baticul so much - it was so plain and boring, while Grand Chokmah looked like a place I'd want to go to.

Aether October 31st, 2009 8:17 PM

Tales of the Abyss had a perfect mesh of characters, none were ignored, none didn't have their share of glory. It's the only Tales game where I liked every character, and its main character is my favorite Tales protagonist of all time.

Seriously, as much as I adore Symphonia, it did the cast all wrong relevance-wise. Lloyd, Colette, Kratos, and maybe Sheena or Raine were the only characters that had any major impact on the story. Genis, Zelos, Regal and Presea were just sort of... there. They really didn't get any of the attention they deserved. The only sort of development they got were interactions with the main character (affection system), which I didn't like much, though it did work for Zelos I guess.

Cherrim October 31st, 2009 10:02 PM

I didn't mind Zelos quite so much--it would've been nicer if he hadn't been carbon copy of Kratos with a different personality slapped on--but plotwise he worked well enough. But Regal, Presea and Genis were just... there. It really didn't help that for most of the game, Presea has the personality of a brick wall and Regal wasn't far behind. :/ I love all the characters in that game but some would've been far better as minor characters. They tried to give everyone a lot of backstory when there just wasn't enough room for the whole party of 8 characters to get that backstory.

Seriously, Yuan was a good character--they gave him some development, he was vital to the story, and he was an NPC so the fact that he wasn't always around actually worked to his benefit. (You weren't constantly seeing him in the party going, "just what's the deal with you??") I think a few of the characters could've been demoted to that status with no real harm to the plot. D:

Besides it's much harder to get attached to characters when so many are fighting for your affection, so to speak. ><; I love the party cast of Abyss to pieces because there were only 6 and it was easy to keep track of them all. Everyone gets a chance to shine and that helps immensely. The characters who didn't get the same amount of attention were basically all NPCs so it didn't seem dreadfully out of place for some of them to have more spotlight than others but the party was always the main focus.

:( I'm really iffy about Tales of Vesperia on PS3 because they added another character. I thought the party already went together fairly well (albeit they don't click the way the Abyss cast did for me) so tossing in an arbitrary loli just seems... well, I can't imagine how she won't seem out of place. D:

yaminokaitou November 1st, 2009 2:07 AM

Yay for Tales! I Mind if I join?

I just got the last game I was missing from my collection the other day, so yay! My favorites are Abyss and Knight of Ratatosk. Other nominees are Symphonia and Rebirth. I'm really looking forward Graces.

Corvus of the Black Night November 1st, 2009 7:38 AM

Hee hee, yesterday I went to a con and there were so many Talesplayers... two Jades, two Guys, two Lloyds, two Sheenas, lots of others, some I can't even remember... I'll get pics when they get posted XD
