Zelos: Did you see that? That was the Great Mysterious Masked Handsome Warrior Zelos at work!
Genis: Hey, can I ask you a question, Mr. Mysterious Masked Handsome Warrior?
Zelos: Certainly, young man. Ask me anything you like.
Genis: If you're wearing a mask, how can anyone tell that you're handsome?
Zelos: Well, it's obvious when you see my unmasked face, right?
Sheena: I'd like to ask something too.
Zelos: Ah, the Great-Chested Sheena. Ask me anything.
Sheena: If you're supposed to be mysterious, why are you still using your name, "Zelos"?
Zelos: Ah, well that's...
Presea: May I ask something as well?
Zelos: Wh-what is it, my dear Presea?
Presea: Are you hiding your face because that outfit is embarrassing?
Zelos: ...Ahhh! You hurt my feelings!

The title design is supposed to look like an arrow, before anyone asks. >o

PICK ME PICK ME I WANT TO JOIN PICK ME. *shot*

...now what? :| I guess I'll start talking about Tales.

My first Tales of game was Tales of Symphonia on the Gamecube and I've loved the series ever since. Or at least, I've loved that game. I got into a few others, but Symphonia's still my favourite. My favourite character from ToS is Kratos. The only other Tales game I've beaten is Tales of the Abyss, which I beat just the other week. XD Luke's my favourite there.

I've played a bit of Phantasia but then my ROM's save file was deleted so I'm still telling myself I'll buy the game instead of playing it on the computer. I haven't yet. XD; I've played some Legendia, and I have no idea how far I got, but I wasn't a fan of the character designs so I haven't touched it in ages. :| I've also played some Tales of the World games, but only in Japanese, so I didn't get too far 'cause I stop and try to translate every little thing. XD;

I also have the Japanese PS2 version of ToS but I haven't had the chance to play it yet. o.o

parallelzero July 26th, 2007 9:58 PM

Uhm, lessee, I own the following:

Tales of Symphonia (GC)

Tales of the Abyss (PS2)
Tales of Eternia (PSP)
Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2 (GBA)
Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 (GBA)
Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology (PSP)

I like most of the Tales characters, they're so colourful! But I guess I prefer:
Colette Brunel (Symphonia)
Kratos Aurion (Symphonia)
Zelos Wilder (Symphonia)
Arche Klein(Phantasia)
Cress Albane (Phantasia)
Annie Barrs (Rebirth)
Leon Magnus (Destiny)

Jade Curtiss (Abyss)
Asch the Bloody (Abyss)

Chikara July 27th, 2007 4:59 AM

Eh... I've only been able to find Symphonia GameStops here suck...

I'll join! I'm planning on getting a Wii just for the new Tales of games. I was gonna get one anyway, but now I have obligation.

Let's see favorite characters... Well I only have ToS {dur}, so I like Collette, Raine, Sheena, and Kratos best. Zelos is way higher than the rest of them though, and Lloyd annoyed me >.<

parallelzero July 27th, 2007 10:35 AM

So what do you guys think, should we sort members by class (Swordsman, Archer, Priest, etc), or maybe by character or something? Not too sure. XD

Arcanine July 27th, 2007 6:51 PM

PICK ME PICK ME I WANT TO JOIN PICK ME. *shot*

XD

Anyway, I started off with ToS for my first Tales game. Then I picked up ToA (and as you know, like 2 hours in XD), and just a few days ago this Andy got ToW and I haven't put it down since (well on my free time). I love both ToS and ToW (not in ToA enough for me to like or dislike it).

Anyway, I'd like to join. And OMG Sheena and Tear rules!!!! XD

parallelzero July 27th, 2007 6:53 PM

Yay, we have a banner now. XD
Still working on the member thing-a-ma-bob. Hopefully we get more members. X.x;

Rena July 27th, 2007 7:09 PM

OH TALESSSSS 8D.

I love the Tales series, though I don't really have any of them :x. *IS RALLY RALLY RALLY SHOT FOR BEING SO STUPIDOOO WHEN SHE DIDN'T EVEN PLAY ANY OF THEM SHAT SHAT SHOT.* But I really want ToS. Since I have a gamecube. My favorite characters are probably Arietta, Anise, Colette, Sheena, Teat, Luke, Asch, and many more cute girls xD. So ANYWAYZ (even when I haven't played any of the games) canI join 8DDDDDD.

Chikara July 29th, 2007 7:06 AM

I was thinking about the member thing last night. All I could come up with are the owners being Cruxis, but then I thought that maybe Cruxis wasn't even in any of the other games. And Then I remembered that the owners aren't evil D:

In other words, I got nothing. Welcome to the club Rena! ^^

Arcanine July 30th, 2007 5:57 PM

I like the idea of the whole Cruxis thing for the head people in the club. XD

Wow, GameSpot sure did love ToW. 6.0/10. Then again they don't like Tales games, their highest rated is ToS and that's an 8.8. So blah to GS. XD

Chikara July 31st, 2007 3:47 AM

D:

Boo to that. They must not understand the deep deep confusion caused by these games is actually fun for some people mainly me

Honestly, I enjoy not know what the heck's going on XD

buster_wolf July 31st, 2007 5:03 AM

Hahaha, nice info on the tales game. I've started it off with Phantasia... but I never got to play the Destiny series. By far, Abyss is my favorite and it has my favorite characters too. I would like to join.

Mostly, I like...
Cless
Arche
Mint
Luke
Guy
Jade
Tear
Sheena
Colette
Anise
Kratos
Stahn
Rid

parallelzero July 31st, 2007 9:46 PM

GS and GI are both on crack when they rate games. They play favourites too much. D=

Anyways, here's all of the info released on ToS:KoR so far:

MAIN CHARACTERS:

Emil Castagnier
Age: 16
Height: 169 cm
Weight: 60 kilos

Emil is a survivor of the destruction of Palmacosta, an event that occured in Tales of Symphonia. He is simple-minded, but has a good heart. He believes almost anything anyone tells him, and he is afraid to make his own decisions. He wants to protect Marta, so he longs to become a Knight of Ratatosk.

Marta Lualdi
Age: 16
Height: 153 cm
Weight: 43 kilos

Marta too is a survivor of the destruction of Palmacosta. She is the type that knows exactly what she wants and knows just what to do. She detests those who cannot differentiate between good and evil, and she loves to win. She is still very feminine, and believes that Emil acts too much like a girl. Though, she truly believes that Emil is hiding his true strength under his indecisive exterior. Emil is like Marta's prince.

THE STORY:
Miya Yajima, the scenario writer for Tales of Symphonia, states that he always imagined these knights whenever he thought about the world of Symphonia after the main story had taken place. So, naturally, that is what the new game is based on.

THE GAMEPLAY:
It is also stated that the Wiimote, capture-able monsters, etc, will bring a brand-new feel to the game, and it will be a completely different product from its predecessor. During battles, the two main characters will be able to capture monsters, and bring them along to fight in other battles. They can be issued commands, but sometimes, they will eschew your authority and act of their own free will. Also, the world map is gone, replaced by a point-and-click world map.

FUTURE TALES GAMES:
He also claimed that they wanted to announce all of the new Tales titles in development, but were forced to keep it down to four. This means that there are other Tales titles currently in development we do not yet know about.

Sounds interesting. Though I'm scared that it's going to be a spinoff and not a main entry.

Arcanine August 1st, 2007 11:52 AM

Not all that sure because I read Japanese. But I play games enough to think these two are the two characters David listed up there.

parallelzero August 1st, 2007 12:09 PM

Yes Andy, those are them. XD

Marta~ <3

Although, they're reusing the Abyss monster models AGAIN? Ugh.

Chikara August 1st, 2007 12:13 PM

*stares at Marta's weapon*

Wow, I thought up a weapon exactly like that last year. That's weird ._.

They both look cool! Marta's hair pwns.

Cherrim August 2nd, 2007 11:31 AM

Lol, why don't they use, you know, the Symphonia models? o_o; It'll be weird to suddenly have new species of monster everywhere when the game only takes place, what, 2 years after the events of the original? I think that's stupid. oo;

I'm disappointed with the male lead, too. He looks so familiar. 9_9;

But for all my whining, I still can't wait for the game. XD

*checks*...*checks again*

You know, your right. I've had that game for how long now, and I didn't realize the resemblance. They stole Marta's weapon design from ME >O

Cherrim August 2nd, 2007 12:08 PM

I knew he looked really familiar the first time I saw him, and as I was scrolling past Andy's post in this thread, it hit me. xD I was gonna look for a better shot of Marche, but I was lazy. It shows well enough anyway.

I'm not sure what would possess the Tales Studio to use that character design. I mean, not only was it used in another game quite recently, but a Square-Enix Final Fantasy game. Everyone's heard of those and most people in the RPG fandom have played them. <_<;

parallelzero August 3rd, 2007 12:55 PM

Yes, the resemblance to that pixelated character is uncanny. I see NO resemblance other than the hair colour/style. Oo;

Besides, FF games suck anyways, so this would be an improvement. *shot*

Arcanine August 3rd, 2007 8:27 PM

OMG THANK YOU ERICA! I was wondering where I saw that dude before and it is Marche from FFTA (I hate that game.... XD). Wow...

I do wish they would change the character, because he does look a lot like Marche. How many people will cry "RIP OFF!!!!" when the game gets more followers or when it comes out?

And no David, FF games don't suck, you can go straight to Steve. XD

Cherrim August 3rd, 2007 9:16 PM

There's better art of the kid, David. :| That's just the only image I was bothered to find. This new guy really does look like him. XD; Of course the clothes aren't going to resemble him, since the clothes are very dependent on the game...but the fact that the hair colour and style is near identical is enough. That's usually the primary identifying feature of a video game character--especially a main character.

Toshinden August 3rd, 2007 9:22 PM

Wow, I hadn't even heard of the one coming out for the Wii - that's another one to add to my future list.

I've only actually played and beaten Symphonia, so I can't speak for the rest, but I do love the system (which I know is basically the same for most of them). When I'm playing Symphonia with friends I love using Genis, but on my own I usually stick with Lloyd since I trust myself more than I trust the AI to control my tank characters.

SAME *waits for DS FFT game* *shot for being off topic*

I've been playing with Collette lately. Lloyd is fun, and likes flipping around, but GEEZ COLLETTE HAS WINGS. She's fun to fight with too, her long ranged attacks like Pow Hammer(yeah, I'm still using it) are funny. I whacked Yuan with a HAMMER! >D

Cherrim August 4th, 2007 9:14 AM

Haha, I always fight with Kratos in ToS. @[email protected];; And when he leaves the party, I use Zelos and yell at him the whole time for fighting differently. xD;
