What? What do you see? Because I don't see it.

If you're putting Tales GC over Tales PS2 because the PS2 version won't be as pretty, don't. The GameCube version isn't exactly all that great looking itself.

It really shouldn't matter to anyone anyway. Besides, isn't this only for Japan, instead of America too?

Well it does look like crap on that one. But overall doesnt look bad if you compare them.

Eww? Those screens look horrible in comparison to the GC version, but I highly doubt they're quality screens. If it does indeed look that bad, then Namco is just lazy. The GC version looks wonderful, IMO.

All those shots like way choppier than the GC version.

And why do I keep seeing these anime screens? They weren't even in the game which was pretty disapointing to me...Though I love this game..I'm 32 hours in and just beat the living crap out of Efreet.

Because you are always cracking some dumb joke at someone else's expense or being consistently negative and annoying. Atleast from what I've noticed.

I'm sorry, I'm working on the negativity. However, I have a clinical disorder that prevents me from taking anything seriously, so the joking has to stay. Doctor's orders. Give Up

The PS2 version still gets some extras I believe, which is kind of disheartening. Anyway, while the PS2 screens look somewhat worse, it really doesn't matter, since Namco hasn't announced a NA release for the PS2 version.

And the best RPG on GC is still Skies of Arcadia...sorry Tales. Frown

Agreed. But one of the things I love about Tales more than skies is how you can see enemies and avoid them yet still want to fight them enough that you are still in a lot of fights. Random battles piss me off sometimes, especially if there are tons of them like in Skies.

That's funny. I don't even need to think about it to know I enjoyed Tales of Symphonia is many times better than SoA. It's not that SoA is bad, it's that ToS is far ahead of most of its genre.

Don't act like it's the best RPG ever, DK. It certainly is for the Gamecube, but if you own a PS2, it's merely "another" RPG.

But "not that good"? Pah. That's just someone looking for attention, or perhaps it's just reflexively disagreeing with popular opinion.

Or...he didn't like it because it wasn't his cup of tea.

I know a lot of people who love rpgs for their stories; many of those people probably won't be statisfied with ToS. Others probably don't like the battle system, as they may find it too easy. It's not hard to believe that he just doesn't think it's a great game.

Did I say it was the "BEst RPG Ever"? No, so dont take my words out of context. I just dont see how anyone can say that its "lame", cause its not, its a really solid game.

Sounds like you're pretty much calling it an amazing game to me, judging by that response. Wink

I don't think it's lame by itself, but when you compare it to FF or any other RPG with a great story, it's merely average.

Oh, and do I have to mention that Star Ocean is coming soon? My guess is that he's saving his money for that one.

Lame refers to the joke...not the game. At least that's how I see it. In any case it's his opinion.


I know in Japan, ToS for the PS2 will come with Tales of Phantasia. Are there any plans for more sidequests? I'd kill someone if the PS2 version gets more cut-scenes...especially really cool looking ones.

Well, I wasnt, I was merely wondering how he could call it lame, when it clearly isnt. Yeah, basically.

Speaking of cutscenes, just where are all the anime scenes in the GC version? I have just arrived in Hima and so far only have seen the opening one and the Tower of Mana. I WANT MY ANIME CUTSCENES!!!....please.

That's because CGI is FAR superior to that cartoon sh*t some retarded hobo drew with food coloring and his penis.

I know, but for the hardcore RPG fan, it's a must buy. That's pretty much my genre, so I get even the mediocre RPGs (I'm not saying that ToS is mediocre, it's above that).

many rpgs beat this game in the story department. This game had ADD, It was impossible to follow and enjoy the story. What makes this game so amazing to me was the character development; through the skits. In the end this game had great characters but a sub par story. If namco ever graces us with another tales game they should keep the same system and make a story worthy of the characters.
