(5:41:05 PM): a calling out to MBR TOS nerds should be sufficient

all I do is play this ****ing game.

unknown, zoso where you at.

 

[Marc]

Not my favourite Tales game, but a solid entry. <3 Kratos and Zelos

 

[Divinokage]

Raining Tiger Blade, Sonic Sword Rain! lol.

 

[ZoSo]

I saved over my file like 3/4 of the way through my second playthrough and I lost all will to keep playing. Still one of my favorite games, though. Cheesing through boss battles with infinites is fun.

tales of symphonia was the first that i played in the series. It had a good release date, that and baten kaitos were like the only legit rpgs released around that time(which was like in the fall for the holidays). I literally got it because it was an rpg and i wanted to play an rpg.


story I thought wasnt that good and kinda wished there were some more anime cutscenes, but like I still really enjoyed it. pretty long and engaging. lloyd busted lol. I liked regal alot too. battle system is what made that game.

me and my brother played 2 player which i thought was a nice addition(because he'd usually just watch me play rpgs for the story). and yea infiniting the bosses and in jab strings was cool especially vs the ones that I had spent 1.5hrs trying to kill on my own. heard there were many ways to infinite. I just specced that one gem driver thingy for lloyd and kratos/zelos that gave them 6 swings as opposed to 4 and had my brother alternate with me. I actually never finished it but I saw the ending lol. I had to go to college right as i got on the 2nd disk. Once I landed in pittsburgh I really didnt play vidya games so like it never worked out.

lloyd busted lol. I liked regal alot too..

Swift knows what's up.

Also there were a lot of stupid infinites in ToS, most of which were hilarious. The attacks in that game are so broken LOL, i just wish it got the ps2 Hi-ougis Q_Q

I like sheena and colette. colette is so boss mode.

 

[unknown522]

wow, so toronto players aren't the only ones who yell "SACRIFICE".....

****ing colette.

But yeah, I play Lloyd only.

 

[Pink Reaper]

See the thing that always got me was Concentration Raine. 90% done with a spell, an enemy attacks, SHE BLOCKS! **** you *****, I've heard far to many "ROOT OF ALL CREATION, GRANT US THE BREATH OF LIF-DONT GET IN MY WAY"

**** you *****, i needed that health.

 

[Dogysamich]

wow. Of all the nonsense that goes on in this "higher intellect" forum, you go and make a thread about that ridiculously overrated ToSymphonia?

And yes, the game is stupid overrated. How the f*** do you have a 3-d action rpg ON GAMECUBE that doesn't let you move in 3D? Gameplay is straight TRASH in some ToS.

 

[Pink Reaper]

This message is hidden because Dogysamich is on your ignore list.

 

[Marc]

I've actually played through most of the Tales series (several entries with Remen). While I liked Vesperia, it made me realise how stale the series has gotten and there are many nuisances keeping it from true greatness.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Just for you mow

[HyugaRicdeau]

I've never played any Tales games. Which one do you recommend I get to start with?

 

[KirbyKaze]

If I was Dogy, none of them LOL.

 

[Deleted member]

definitely this one. the others get more complex mechanics that you'll appreciate later i think.

and for the record, i thought vesperia was fantastic.

 

[Pink Reaper]

IM GONNA PLAY THAT EVENTUALLY I SWEAR!

work in 6 hours, time for bed i guess.

 

[wWw Dazwa]

It's pancake time!

Spoiler

STALAGMITE!

Well technically you move in a 3d environment. Its just strictly lateral. The plain is still 3 dimensional. I will say that the game is a bit overrated but just a tad. Still a great game with lots of substance.

 

[Ignatius]

I made around 5 or so plays of Symphonia. A pretty fun game.

 

[Pink Reaper]

I made over 20 play throughs on a single file. Then i had about 10 other files with at least 2-3 play throughs each.


WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO screech flygon.

 

[Dogysamich]

Really, any one in existance that's not Symphonia 2. (Not because it's a direct sequel, but because it's garbage.

As much as I hate Symphonia, I can't take away that it's still a solid game. My big gripe with it is only sound because of the time the game was released (which was years after the likes of Star Ocean 2 and even further behind Secret of Mana).

If I was Dogy, none of them LOL.

WOAH DAWG.

definitely this one. the others get more complex mechanics that you'll appreciate later i think.

[ZoSo]

Secret of Mana so good.

Dogy, I'm pretty sure I love your sig.

 

[Divinokage]

Secret of Mana so good.

Dogy, I'm pretty sure I love your sig.

First time I played it, it was so **** hard since you never knew where you were supposed to go and you were very young back then too lol. And then you had to cast different spells to know the weakness of bosses.. good times. I remember the evil wall killing me the first time I tried it.

 

[KirbyKaze]

I think Kage should main Colette in Tales of Symphonia.

 

[Deleted member]

WHY JUST ME??

<3 colette

 

[g-regulate]

the day i learned collette infiniting was the end.



eagle dive/rage/etc. all day for me


cooking. cooking.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Im such a boss at Tales of Vesperia. I comboed a 30 hit combo into a mystic art on Zagi, Staggered him with it, went into Over Limit again, comboed him into a burst art that comboed into a Fatal Strike.

 

[KishPrime]

Secret of Mana was amazing back in the day, but menu-casting magic is epic failure nowadays.

It's hard to replay.

 

[ZoSo]

You really think so, Prime? Me and Brookman just sat down and played through it in one sitting sometime last summer.

uhh i just got to judith. ok so i'm kinda behind you.

 

[Pink Reaper]

It's cool, im not gonna play tomorrow since I'll be at work all day so that will give you time to stop being gay. I mean catch up.

 

[KishPrime]

Maybe you don't cast magic as much with two people? I'm mostly talking about bosses though, I just remember constant interruptions while I was trying to do the sword thing. And how the heck did you beat it in one sitting? I swear that game took like 20-40 hours to get through.

I think we maxed it way back when.

 

[ZoSo]

I think there may have been some periods of sleep/attending to basic physical needs, but we pretty much just marathoned it.

Magic is broken though. No argument there.

 

[Deleted member]

I also marathon'd secret of mana with chu and his sister. good times.

and yeah, magic is broken.

 

[Divinokage]

I think Kage should main Colette in Tales of Symphonia.

Wtf in any game I main Warriors.. either Lloyd or Kratos/Zelos. If I don't play warriors, I cannot enjoy the glory. Casting magic is for chickens.

 

[Pink Reaper]

I just spent 8 minutes killing a gigantic monster that was 22 levels higher than me.

holy ****.

I've only played an hour of it, because I don't have an Xbox. (new game+ though). My friend's disk got scratched. We were at a BBQ smashfest 3 weeks ago at Sanuzi's place and raynex wanted to play SSF4 on the PS3, on the tv that we were using, so we let him and he left the 360 on. My friend picked up a couple of hours later, to move onto another tv. So good bye Tales of Vesperia for him.

Man, that weekend was fun. Kage was supposed to come as well, but he wasn't feeling well. Raynex, IB, and I did falco dittos until 5am on one of the days.
