speak for yourself, only, please; graphics are a mechanic and if that's all they offer, then the game isn't worth a damn. without a story, an rpg is nothing, period; just pointless wandering and button mashing. if i want button mashing, i'll get some crappy fighting game.

Bionic Commando, now there is a game that needs a sequel. And Moses happy dance cracks me up everytime. I wasn't to sure at first, but this game is growing on me. |
I actually like Jay's MC Hammer dance after battles.
And that's the way it went for me too. It started off pretty slow, but after a while I couldn't stop playing. It didn't grab me right off like ToS did, but it's still pretty fun. _________________

the only happy dance ive seen so far are the "Ors" and thats a crack up...i just started chapter 3...and shirley gets even more annoying...
oh and i saw this website where this guy got 500+ combo on one of the early bosses...which is pretty nutso becuz ive only been able to get a 53 hit combo...
http://fly.to/masterll
oh and on that site, it has a picture that by far makes ToS so much more funnier than ToL...

i love that picture and that whole scene in the game... _________________

Eh, people seem to always find ways to hit the combo cap (even in Destiny 2, which I thought was impossible because of the S-Gauge even after having overlimit stop it for a time), and this game is no exception, with people recording 999+ hit combos. I've only ever broken 200 in one game, and that was Tales of Rebirth.
I shudder at the 10006 Hit combo video for Abyss that Holystar has on his website. |

I was shocked when I got a sixty hit combo today in ToL. Woulda been maybe five to 10 higher if Chloe would have been attacking the same enemy I was. I have a feeling I'm in for a fight at the end of chapter four. _________________ Legendary Locke

I finished the main quest last night, and now I've started the character quests.
I have yet to break 100 on a combo, but then again I haven't been trying very hard.
Who are your favorite characters? I like everyone except Norma, pretty much. I don't have an opinion on Grune, except that she's... odd.
I think my top three are Senel, Will, and Jay... well, Jay or Moses. But Jay's a better fighter, IMO. _________________ "Oh my god--"

i like Senel...he's sorta mean and kinda dumb...but he just doesnt know it...and I love Norma, i think shes the funniest in the game...i like Shirley, i just hate her voice...if i did have to not like a character its prolly Will...he's an "Old Fogey"...
i wish the titles changed costumes like ToS...i hear you only get 2 costumes at the grade shop in the end...but even then they arent that interesting...Formal and Mascots... _________________

You don't understand.
Why would they make a game with such bad graphics. In this day and age? Did they lose alot of money? Just why?! Why not keep it the same as TOS? That had cool graphics. Why would they go down instead of going up?
Also How am I misguided if I have my own opinion?? Do I have to listen to all of you? _________________

To you they are bad, to me they are beautifull, that is my opinion. Remember, art is in the eye of the beholder. Been to a few art museums in my time and some paintings I thought were beautifull and others didn't. And others I thought that weren't and others did. It doesn't mean that everyone likes things the same as everyone else. _________________ Legendary Locke

maybe, takemura, you should reread your own post; you claim that is the ONLY reason to play a game. my statement was that if that is all a game has to offer, than it serves no greater purpose than an empty box with pretty wrapping-looks good outside, has nothing inside.
think about it; if all i want are pretty pictures, i can get an artbook for considerably less than i would for paying for a game. i prefer a game that offers more than just glitz; there are many games that look great but play for shiite. why? because the creators focused on image, one aspect, rather than the whole; this is part of the reason the last two suikodens weren't that great of games, and why some games are pure crap from the get go. limited focus on graphics to fool those who think pretty = good. _________________ prinny...DOOD!

Well, I just finished the character quests, which brought the total game time to about 68 hours. The game was fun and enjoyable for the first 50-55 hours or so, but after a while it tended to just drag on and on. Everything got dull and repetitive, even the boss battles. By the end, I was just anxious to get the game over with. Considering the nature of the character quests, I don't think I'll be playing back through it again like I did (multiple times) with Tales of Symphonia.
That's not to say it's a bad game; it was quite enjoyable. Moreso than Tales of Destiny I think, and right on par with Tales of Phantasia. _________________

Thanks for that feedback Synchysi! 50-55 hours sounds pretty respectable. My main hesitations for this has been that I hadn't heard great things about the story (though not necessarilly bad things), I'm not sure just how I feel about the super-deformed look, and the relatively low play time. I had mostly been hearing something in the 30-40 hour range, however. I think I can live with spending the money for a game that can be enjoyed for 50+ hours. Not having the replay factor of Tales of Symphonia doesn't really bother me, since the only game I've done more than 10 or so hours of a second playthrough on has been Radiata Stories.
What I've read about the characterizations has started to appeal to me, so I might try to pick this up this weekend after my show opens. With three games I want to buy potentially coming out next month, I'm a little on the fence because of finances. ^_^ _________________ I can run faster scared than you can mad. |

Sorry For everything I typeded. I'll stop now. Play the game if you like it.
I relooked everything about Tol and, its not too bad ;) The Graphics that is.
Sorry sybillious and anyone Who I made mad. Be happy now!
I understand now That graphics to everyone is not the biggest part of a game. A Great man once said "agree to dissagree" And that person knows who he is. So yes. I agree with you all. and still keep my Narrow minded Take on games. Happy gaming! _________________

Well, I went and picked up this game on Friday. I think I've put in something like 20-30 hours in the 4 days I've had it, so it gets my approval. I wasn't sure initially about the graphics, but they really started to grow on me. And once the story got over some initial bumps, it has been very enjoyable for me. _________________ I can run faster scared than you can mad. |
