Title: Tales of Destiny rocks. Nintendo fans just soured me on this series, I guess
Post by: TVC15 on December 12, 2007, 01:50:23 AM
After the GC game that I hated, but ninthings loved, and the 2 PS2 games, one of which I hated, the other of which I sort of liked, but only played for like 10 hours (I do that with most RPGs nowadays), I figured this was just another case of Nintendo fans thinking that something sub-par and at best mediocre was excellent just because it was a Nintendo exclusive (see also: Factor 5 games and Rare).  But I just tossed the PS1 games on my PSP, and these fucking MURDER the PS2 and GC entries in the series.  They had been recommended to me for years, but I just never got around to them.

Eternia was pretty great but the VA (especially Meredy) was a total embarassment. I am actually playing through Abyss now (been on it for the past few weeks, 40+ hours in), and I am enjoying it. I actually like the characters (it's pretty easy to relate to the main character, not the least bit because we share the same name, but also cuz he's a spoiled, lazy, ignorant bastard at the beginning :) ), and the story is pretty detailed with a lot of references to the Kaballah. There also seems to be a TON of secrets, optional dialogue events, special techniques, etc. My main problems with it are WAAAAAAY too much backtracking and not enough dungeons, I thought some of the other Tales games had much better, more intricate dungeons with greater puzzles.

Tales of Destiny 1 was OK but it had too many repetitive dungeons, a really slow combat system (especially compared to SNES TOP), and pulled the "false end" something like 3 times throughout the game! I liked Symphonia but it had a tendency to drag on-and-on-and-on, and the characters were pretty stupid (except Raine and Regal). But Symphonia's battle system was cool, and the game had some neat puzzles.

Tales series >>>>>>>>>>>>> Factor 5 games, Rare, and 99% of the games Nintendo fans hype up.

Symphonia would have been awesome if it were only 20 hours long.
