I mostly like Phantasia and Symphonia, both having a nice overall plot, and great characters and villains.

Destiny would be the 3d, being good in overall, but the combat system feels rehashed (have't played the remastered version).


Eternia's story and characters are just not as enganging.
Legendia's heroes are also bad, save for 2 and the villains are ...unnoticed.
I actually can't remember their names.

Abyss villains plainly suck.
You just fight them over and over again, and their only development is when they finally die.
Except for Dist, he is awesome.
Jade alone though makes this game a must.

Finally, I just started playing Vesperia, I hope it shapes out well.


To sum it up, while Tales of games are always well-executed, sometimes the characters and storylines feel rehashed with no depth.

I love the Tales games.

Symphonia was my first RPG ever, so it holds a special place in my heart.

Phantasia and Abyss were both good.

Tales of Legendia is extremely underrated. I really liked this one.

Haven't played any of the others.

I've played all English ones until the PS2 generation, Radiant Mythology, plus the fan translated Phantasia. I love all of them but my favorite among all is Tales of Destiny (Stahn and Rutee FTW!) and Abyss rocks because of Jade.

The facts that they refuse to translate Tales of Destiny 2, and that I have no 360 to play Vesperia on irk me to no end.

*Goes to concoct a plan which hopefully ends up with EW's best bud lending him the X360 even though said best bud doesn't want to due to Armored Core and Vesperia*

Vesperia....I'm still in the half-way
The sad thing is .....TAT My xbox360 shows the red ring sign a few weeks ago...
The worse thing is there is no service center available in my country so I have to sent my console all the way to Hong Kong for warranty.
It will be taking months for my console to come back....HOW CAN I LIVE WITHOUT VESPERIA~~~!

For your question, yes. Yuri is the first left-handed sworld-weilder in tales.

how come no Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology.

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology (テイルズオブザワールド レディアントマイソロジー, Teiruzu obu za Waarudo Redianto Maisorojii[Only registered users can see links. ]) is a [Only registered users can see links. ] of the [Only registered users can see links. ] [Only registered users can see links. ] series for the [Only registered users can see links. ]. Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology's characteristic genre name is For Your Sake RPG (きみのためのRPG, Kimi no tame no RPG[Only registered users can see links. ]). Like some of the previous games that bear Tales of the World in their title, this game is a [Only registered users can see links. ] title featuring characters from various Tales games. Unlike other games in the Tales of the World series, this one has been released in North America and Europe. The theme song for the game is Kamihikōki by Kana Uemura, and the opening song is Uemura's Hikari to Kage. Similarly to [Only registered users can see links. ], the American version of the game uses the same opening song, but without lyrics. (Taken from WIKIPEDIA.)
Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 is coming out sooon~

There are classes such as
Warrior — Starter Class. Excels in melee attacks, and can equip powerful axes as well as swords.
Thief — Starter Class. A professional in quick attacks and stealing.
Priest — Starter Class. A healer that uses light and healing magic.
Mage — Starter Class. A magician that uses offensive magic to smite foes.
Swordsman — Elite Class. Uses sword-based artes used by many other Tales characters.
Fighter — Elite Class. Their most powerful weapon is their body. Like Senel, they attack with their arms and legs rather than with weapons.
Ninja — Elite Class. Assassin who specializes in stealthy strikes.
Magic Knight — Elite Class. A warrior who masters physical and magical Artes.
Bishop — Elite Class. An elite magician who masters offensive and healing magic.
Hunter — Elite Class. Marksmen who snipe enemies with the bow.
