Symphonia is probably the most overrated Tales game ever. I'd have rather seen a collection featuring Destiny 2 (JP), Rebirth, and the Destiny 1 remix.
I wonder why Symphonia would be overrated...

nintards lol
as far as i'm concerned the worst tales game i ever played was legendia,which was soooooooooooooooooo bad it kinda holds a special place
vesperia and symphonia are the good modern tales,symphonia gets annoying at times but it's a colorfull game and the battle system is of the kind where you just keep piling on the hits and it's a lot of fun... vesperia is an amazing game,the best next gen jrpg you are going to find... as far as older tales game go the PSX remake of phantasia and eternia are decent game too,i couldn't finish phantasia but i got really close to the ending of eternia (the reason i couldn't finish the game is because the final boss last like 30 minutes and at the end of the fight you have to pull off a street-fighter like command to counter the boss special move otherwise you instantly die... the game never tells you to do that by the way) they kinda have that PSX rpg charm,choppy 3d graphics... animu artwork all over the place... 2D sprites... you know the drill
abyss i couldn't finish as i wanted to strangle every character and the game would go on and on to have DRAMAAAAAAAAAA at the drop of the hat,there is this one character in abyss which is absolutely terrorized by women which is played for comedy sake and it's pretty funny,but then the game has to ruin it

the reason he's scared of women is because he had to hide behind a bunch of dead loli's so that he could escape from the villain,DRAMAAAAAAAAAA
the battle system feels wrong too,it's hard to keep a combo going and that field of fonon thing is just hard to use
i haven't played graces much but it seems to be made of a similiar cloth
