What do you think of this RPG series made by Namco? For me it is very great in graphics, sound and the storyline. Don't forget the lifespan too.

Not to bad. I just started a new game of Tales of Symphonia. Nothing like earning the beserker title for Llyod before going to the very first Martel Temple at the start of the game.

It's a pretty solid series, but it's had its ups and downs.

I picked Tales of Rebirth back up recently. It's been bugging the crap out of me, since I've been stuck at Shrine of Ephon for a while now. I also pop Tales of Destiny 2 in every so often, since I still need to get to my third playthrough to unlock Judas' Majin Rengoku Satsu. Still forever away.

I've only played Tales of Symphonia so far and I love it. Actually, on my first play through I didn't like how a lot of elements reminded me of other games but that was only in the biggining of the storyline. Afterward it starts getting good.

I liked it tons more when I replayed it though and I might just play it again after school ends this summer.

Presea RULZ!!!

I know there are two other titles for the PS2 as well but I haven't played either of them. I think one hasn't been released yet, not sure...

Either way, I have high hopes for the series as a whole but I'm not to keen on the older Tales titles... are they any good?

i loved tales of symphonia but i heard tales of legendia wasnt as good so i havent played it yet....i love that battle systme though and the voice overs are cool. Tales of symphonia had to much of a convulted story for my tastes though,

Legendia wasn't as good as good as the other Tales games I've played, but it still was't bad. It probably has the best story of the series I've seen so far. I sort of had to struggle through the end of Legendia as it kind of dragged out, but it was still fun up to that point. Symphonia is by far my favorite, though.

The older Tales titles are definitely worth playing. Phantasia is probably the best RPG I've played on the SNES, and the Tales of Destiny games on the PSX were great.

ToS is my favorite. But I just wish... You know... The graphics were a bit better in ToL... :( But Meh. My favorite was Tos. Man what an amazing story that game had.

Does the GBA version of Tales of Phantasia also has the additional playable character like the PSX version?

Tales news for the day:

Namco has trademarked the title Tales of Wahrheit in Japan. This doesn't mean anything yet, but I can't imagine them working just on Tempest right now. I would expect a new game to show up at TGS.

I've only played Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Legendia, but Symphonia ended up cruising to the very top of my favorites list- I've put 400 hours into about eight or nine playthroughs. Yes, it is that dear to me. Granted, it has a quick, fluid pace, being a GameCube RPG, but still, I'm amazed. I don't think I've even poured that much time into a single Suikoden or Final Fantasy.

Legendia was...all right. Pretty clunky battle system and grimace-inducing graphics, but the soundtrack clobbers Tales of Symphonia's and the story, characters, and voice acting are surprisingly decent. Beyond that, a good rental at best.

Looking so, so forward to Tales of the Abyss that I could scream. Ahh...but no, Namco, take your time, I want to savor this game. :)
