I started this series off with Tales of Eternia. It became fun really fast, but I enjoy almost any real-time RPG. I've also played Phantasia and Abyss recently as I'm on Spring Break and I've thoroughly enjoyed both of them. The series is really popular in Japan but not so much over here, which has led Namco to not translate many of the games to English. Destiny 2, Rebirth, and remakes of Eternia and Destiny, etc. Also, most of you probably don't own a PSP but Tales of the World is coming out on it sometime this summer. It's not one of the main games but it's a game with the heroes from many of the previous Tales games. I'll probably get it since it sounds interesting. Discuss |

There were rumors of a new Tales game about a month ago, but nothing came of it. Tales of the Tempest should also be coming out for the DS eventually if that interests people. Yeah, it's a great series indeed. Sadly, being a native English speaker and non-PS2 owner, I only have Phantasia and Symphonia, though I had the good fortune of getting to play through Abyss with a friend. Come to think of it, the only English game I missed was Legendia which was supposed to kinda suck. So I guess I'm not in such a bad position. |

I want a sequel to Abyss on the Wii or something but direct sequels tend to be shitty alot of times. I'm about to finish my second playthrough in one week. Usually i can never do that but this is probably one of the most enjoyable games ive played. I'm doing unknown difficulty right now and it's pretty crazy, even tho i have 10x exp points on =/ |

Unknown is just insane. Basically without EXP multipliers or a good amount of grinding, you're going to do 1 damage to pretty much everything. That's why Very Hard might honestly be the best difficulty setting. It's still possible without the Grade Shop - especially those EXP multipliers, but it's very rigorous. I would like a plain remake of Abyss for the Wii. They could get rid of the loading times and fix the glitches and maybe add in a few nifty extras(actually give Asch his second Mystic Arte; add an extra optional dungeon maybe), and I'd be a happy person indeed. I don't think it will happen, but it would be so awesome if it did! |

I tried to play Phantasia, died in that lava basement place, and never bothered to try again. I played Symphonia and loved it. Never played any of the others. |

I'm on my third playthrough but i kinda pussied out and switched to hard around 1/2 through last game. It was just ridiculous with me doing 2-3 damage per hit. I carried over all my FSCs, Titles, Artes, and 10x exp, 2x gald, and 2x grade this time so I should be fine. I started using Guy and he's like 3827489345983578 times better than Luke since you can infinitely chain 9 Hit combo->Severing Wind->FOF change Dragon Tempest which is kinda broken since the chain can't be broken by arcane artes. Guys like my favorite char. tho...they're all pretty cool except for long hair Luke and Anise. Guy was my favorite char i think, except his fera of women is just @_@. The dialogue is hilarious though ala "Anise: Maybe someday I'll have melons as big as Tear's" or something like that lol I'm not so worried about a remake than a sequel. The loading times were only horrendous on the world map but you could avoid encounter sinc ethey weren't random but lack of any real sidequests was bad, except for replica factory and Nebilim battle. I might try doing 100% complete or something. Edit: No new tales games are planned in the US atm i don't think. Tales of the World: radiant mythology is for PSP but it's just a side game. I heard Rebirth and Destiny 2 were awesome but they're Japan only. Tempest is also jap. only iirc; sucks
