    Has anyone ever played the Tales of games (A japanese role-playing game series)?

    It's my personal favorite series of all time so I thought I'd make a thread of it.

    The ones I've played are:
    Tales of Symphonia (Gamecube)
    Tales of Phantasia (GBA)
    Tales of Legendia (PS2)
    Tales of the Abyss (PS2/3DS)
    and Tales of Vesperia (Xbox 360)

    I love so many of the characters too. How about anyone else?

    I played the original Tales of Phantasia on the SNES. It blew my mind upon first playing it.

    I've also played Tales of Symphonia on the Gamecube, but didn't get into that one as much as I did Phantasia. That definitely ranks up there with some of the best RPG's released on the SNES :slight_smile:

    One of my absolute favorite game series EVER. I love the battle systems and I really love how there's multiplayer n all-most of them!

    Favorite: Tales of Graces, Symphonia, Xillia, Abyss, Destiny, Phantasia.

    Heheh If I left any out its because i don't remember/haven't played.

    And yes, the characters are SO AMAZING XD

    I've never played the original SNES version, but I heard it was better. Who was your favorite character?

    Definitely Claus :slight_smile: I'm normally drawn to mages anyway though. Who was yours?

    I've played Tales of Phantasia for the SNES!

    I loved that game, but sadly my laptop at the time died before I could finish :frowning2:

    I liked Claus too, but my favorite was Arche. I thought her personality would annoy me, but she grew on me. Plus, I love half-elves : P

    Tales of Symphonia was one of my favourite gamecube games :love:

    I just read recently that they're releasing it in HD on the WiiU (which also has the sequel). I can't wait for it!!!

    I did have one for the PSP too, i can't remember the name though. I never got into it as much.

    They're not. ToS Chronicles (the HD remake of the two ToS games) is a PS3 exclusive.
    Wii U also does not have the sequel, which was originally released for Wii. It can play it due to backwards compatibility with the Wii but the sequel is terrible enough that there's probably not much reason to. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I didn't like the sequel either. I actually never even finished it because it bored me halfway through.

    Amg, I played Tales of the Abyss ages ago and watched a little of the anime, but I am just DYING to get the 3ds version and play it again! I also wanted to play ToS, but I don't want to start with one of the sequels, and I can't seem to find the first game anywhere. ;_;

    The only reason I liked the sequel was for the purpose of humor to be perfectly honest XD It was actually my first Tales game sadly XD

    But you gotta admit, despite how tacky and boring and pointless the plot was, there was some pretty funny parts and skits, especially with Tenebrae :thumbsup:

    I love Abyss!! My friend made me borrow her copy to play while I was still in high school, and I loved it. I need to actually buy it so I can play it again.

    It's the only one I've played, though >_> But I want to get some of the other ones, especially Xillia.

    Oh, I loved Abyss too! Natalia and Jade were my favorite characters.
