 If you care about storylines the stay away from this review July 20, 2008
0 out of 6 found this review helpful
OH my God shoot me in the head for buying this game where do i start. I'm an old RPG fan every since Final Fantasy X hell i've played them all. well i was looking for just one more good RPG ya know. I thought this one could "take me back a few years". No NO NO it didn't do htat at all now let me tell ya why in 5 easy reasons.
1. The storyling is a rip off of Final Fantasy X I mean it's almost the same thing. it's about this girl who has to sacrife herselft to save the planet but then she and her rag tag party are double crossed about some fool wearing a night grown. Look if you guys have played Final Fantasy Z or even FFIX since it kind of rips off that storyline too becuse of the 2 planet crap, then don't buy this game. the only twist is that Kratos turns out to be Loyd's dad.......... woooooooooooooops looks like a spolied it for ya.
2. All the characters execpt one "Kratos" are really reallying annoying. the 2nd main character "the girl that has to save the plantet" might be one of the if not the most annoying game characters i've seen in my life.
3. Graphics are not that good. Look i've got nothing against cell shaded i mean i'll be the first to tell ya that when the wind waker came out i loved it but this game is just half baking it. it's like there kind of doing ot then again there kind of not. it's like looking at a saterday moring anime carton on fox kids channel.
4. I've got nothing aginst reading the text in games i mean FF1-9 was all about that. what i don't like is how they "the characters" talk at the same time. I guess i can let that slide thought i've seen a lot of games do this now like star ocean 3
5. look just don't buy this game you've got to trust me it has it's moments like whne ..... ok i don't know but there is one good thing about this game taht saves it almost. the figthing system is pretty cool and easy you are in a 2D background but you can move around the combos are easy to use and your team mates really do help out in the fight in this game so thats pretty cool. ok I'm done
 The Gamer that LOVES Tales of Series May 5, 2008
I have some words to say...first off I am thirteen, my friends older some younger some the same age, and we all ABSOLUTELY LOVE TALES OF SYMPHONIA (ToS for short). It's a great rpg, with lots of magic, sword fighting, shielding, elemental defense, healing spells, elemental offense, many items, a great money system (this game uses gald, not gold, gald), hundreds of unique awesome weapons some elemental some magic some regularly killer lethal and some just fun (like a broom!!), and lots and lots of different armor and clothing (not to mention amulets and jewels etc.). The battle system is really interactive, and it's NOT TURN BASED, up to four players can play, so you can have a great time battle by yourself with computers helping you, or with friends pwning the monsters that get in your way. For a Gamecube game, the graphics are pretty good, the fighting absolutely fun and suspenseful, the storyline quite unique and different while still being superior, and then the characters mostly all awesome, while some can get on your nerves in a funny way. So I would rate this game a 10/10, as well as Tales of the Abyss and all the other Tales of games out there (except for Radiant Mythology, that was a pure disappointment), did I mention there are 3 ways of transportation to get around these 2 HUGE maps? Yeah, the story is long, fun, and there are many small optional mini games and side quests (some side quests long and fun), and then there's the main storyline you follow once you get bored wandering around the two worlds meeting people etc.
Overall Review:
Graphics: 9/10 (really good for an old GC game, actually not that old)
Music: 8/10
Battle system: 10/10
Story Line: 10/10
Characters: 9/10
Side Quests: 9/10
Armor and Weaponry: 10/10
Magic/special attacks/unison attacks/ basic hits: 10/10
single player: 10/10
multi player: 8/10
It's a good game, if you like or want a game with fighting, sword banging, magic, technique, non turn based battles, realistic fighting, enjoyable music and graphics, elemental spells, wandering ability (you don't have to go to the next spot in the story line immediately, you go when you feel like it), and amazing characters etc., THEN WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GET THIS GAME!!
P.S. I also forgot to mention you can get TITLES which switch around your stats a bit without leveling up, and some titles change your costume so you can look different when you walking and in battles, and in cutscenes (swimsuits, disco/fun outfits etc.), yup, pretty awesome.
 Good Combat, Blah Everything Else April 28, 2008
Tales of Symphonia nails the combat system. It's addictive, original and well-animated. Unfortunately, the puzzles, characters and plot are cliched and unmemorable. Pity because it's such a beautifully animated game.
Characters talk too much (every thirty seconds you'll be dragged into a conversation, even in the overworld). I don't need to hear about every character's favorite color while I'm trying to save the world?
Save the world? These characters are too busy finding dragons for a little boy, cooking for restaurants and just generally mucking about to make you think that they're really focused on their goal. The battle system is nice, but only fans of vapid Japanese anime need apply.
beyond awesome game!!! April 21, 2008
I have the gamecube in the household. and my brother wanted tales of symphonia for christmas and told me i would like it. i got my mom to get at target for $20 for christmas. i wasn't too interested but decided to play since it is partly mine. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES YOU WILL EVER PLAY!!!!!!!!! i recently replayed for the 4th time and ended up staying up to 3:30 am, which i don't do. i love the battle system, and the story line is amazing. and i love the music. one of the best rpgs i have ever played
One of the Best RPG Games Ever! April 9, 2008
This game twists and turns you through an adventure that will sometimes shock you. You start off as a reckless young boy with his friends sets off on a journey to save all mana and when you think you know whats right then it takes a couple of turns and completly changes your mind. I played this game for a while but turned it down when I couldn't get past a part because there was a lot of talking and just got bored. Then I picked it up again and adored it! This game is worth the money! It took me forever to beat it and was sad when I did. If you don't like hard battles, great adventures, and a quest greater than to save your world than I suggest you don't buy this. Long live Tales of Symphonia!
