Symphonia aged worse than Vesperia when it comes to gameplay

Its not even wild that so many people skipped Symphonia either - it came out around way too much other piff

Abyss was the goat to me.

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Abyss had a more mature story, I liked it a lot. I never beat the devils arm side quest in that one she was on that other shyt

[The Mad Titan]

There were a lot of tales games I couldn't get into.


In truth most I stopped playing early.


Vesperia, symphonia, beseria are my jams though. Especially vesperia

I got pretty far into Vesperia. Made it to the part late in the game where everything went to crap in the world. The game was just too long and I lost interest. I think I was about to fight Alexei maybe.

I made it to the part in Symphonia where the guy with handcuffs joins and also lost interest. That game is overrated to me. I don't have the nostalgia bias because I played it after Abyss and not during the original release.

Only made it halfway through Legendia. Rented that from Blockbuster Video so not enough time to finish.

I think I got to the world ending halfway point of symphonia back on GameCube before i bushed it

graphics for this game look really good. I just worry if the story is gonna be anything special
I’ve been watching demon slayer and it s just so enjoyable.

there’s so much good anime out and I feel like jrpgs have been stagnant

It’s a Tales game. The story at best will be serviceable. If you’re playing a Tales game it’s either for the battle system or the characters and their interactions like skits. If you’re in it for a great story you picked the wrong series.

 

[The Mad Titan]

Yeah tales games are usually more about the journey, character relationships, and combat.

People are really crying about the skits being 3D models instead of anime pictures now.
