If you can't take anime, as I do, it never gets any good.
I'm fine with anime, and I've played a bunch of JRPGs over the years. Honestly, it's probably just because JRPG intros are never fun, but the first hour was a real slog. I was just wondering what point it starts getting good, so I know when to decide whether to keep playing or drop it. From what I can find, most people say it gets better after the tower of salvation?
I've always believed people looked at this game with fondness because of how satisfying the combat gets, especially once you learn how to chain Lloyd's raining tiger blade. It's a similar situation to star ocean 3 where the actual plot and story are mush but the combat (and broken alchemy) makes up for it.
Yeah Symphonia is fun but if you aren't getting into it the story doesn't really improve at all. That's why I tend to recommend Vesperia over it. Symphonia I would still say is more fun, but if the combat hasn't hooked you yet it probably won't later either.
you actual source on this that your trusting is fucking deviant art.
Dude my ass is more credible
theres a reason people stopped making these kinds of games. they are awful not just in player retention but programming and the art assets needed for what the game actually is.
Yeah it's abysmal it's up there with turn based games for amount of work that a game would need since you need to code custom parameters for most things projectiles characters enemy behaviors collision and speeds of everything have to be accounted for.
Do i play MHW first or MHW?
Bet's on the new mount name? Bubbird? (Bubby + Bird?)
if your not into the whole save the world story it doesn't really what people like about the Tales games is the willingness to go a bit darker with things.
That being said it's when you reach the tower the main twist happens which to the games credit does not work without you wandering the world first and meeting all these people.
Beseria and Phantastia are better first games. Berseria delivers on what makes the tales games interesting way sooner and Phantastia is a simpler version of it's combat system and much shorter.
I only played Symphonia for like an hour a long time ago. Been meaning to give it another try.
Only other Tales of games I've played were Berseria and Arise. Berseria has great characters and an interesting story, but I didn't really like the feel of the combat after a while. Arise has fluid combat that I enjoyed. The characters were good, but not as good as Berseria. The story was good up until a certain point, then it started going downhill.
I've been meaning to play more of the series, but it probably won't be for a while. Still other series I want to go through before it.

Might be better to start with one of those, then, because I already know the twist(s). I read a self-insert Tales of Symphonia fic when I was younger, so I know a good chunk of the plot.
Bae starts new series, falls in love with violent lunatic:
Symphonia is a mega vanilla story, slow burn kinda game. I would compare it to something like FF4 but maybe 20x the length. The writers did put a lot of work in the setting but the pacing is god awful. A relevant comparison for the story I can think of is a Trails in the Sky arc (2 to 3 games) but instead of having multiple
buildup->climax-> release hills there's just one giant climax and a really long buildup to it. I wouldn't have been able to finish the game if Symphonia wasn't multiplayer on the gamecube. Spent multiple months with friends when I was younger getting through that.

Earlier I was planning on playing some soundtracks as background music through the Steam program
Only to find that they removed that functionality.
Fucking why!?!??

It seems like it is still working for me. I went to library and opened soundtracks. It is odd that is tells you to "install" the soundtracks rather than download them, because they are just normal sound files.

The latest devlog for Coffin of Andy & Leyley has released, and given the recent kids party here & surrounding the game, I figured I'd draw attention to this part:
> Q: Will you be toning down the story from now on?
> A: Haha!! Nope.

Play the 2D Tales games on PS2 if you want good ones. The gameplay is better and they are not packed with a bunch of filler like the 3D ones. Tales of Destiny PS2 is the only one with an English patch right now, but Destiny II should be almost done with Rebirth coming after that. Namco is retarded and didn't release their best ones overseas. Once the series fully transitioned to 3D is stopped being fun.
God damn, that didn't take long. Although, I guess it's about the best time to cut and try to run with the money.
I didn't follow anything about this game before release, but this shitshow in the last few days has been entertaining, at least.
