    My favourite will always be Vesperia. Although the story isn't the best in the series, the cast was so amazing. They're all so unique and lovable and the chemistry between them was magical. The only criticism I have is that the switching between voice actors can be somewhat jarring. If it wasn't for that, it would be my favourite game ever.

      if you are complaining about the second VA for "her" part don't even think to touch the Rays or any crossover plot with Yuri in it BEFORE you get the story right. Troy will thank all gods he has nothing to do with DE at all.

      I think it's the best because of the darker tone for the main hero. It's one of the very few JRPGS with a dark and authentic hero, who even murders people. I loved it so much. Gameplay wise it's not the best, the main plot is a little lame, but man, those characters.

I still remember the joy me and my friend had when we finally figured out the melnics language (in a time with no access to the internet). I've played most Tales of games that came after, but none of them came close to the fun I had with Tales of Eternia. Tales of Legendia, though, is pretty good and is number 2 for me.

    A very unique list, I don't agree with the order but it's nice to see a breath of fresh air when it comes to your favorite tales games.
    Most people put the holy trinity (Symphonia, Vesperia and Abyss) in their top 3 but you didn't even have one of them. My personal favorite is Tales of the Abyss. I've only played the 3DS version but the story is the best in the franchise and Luke goes through the biggest development I've seen a MC go thorough in a JRPG

      @Weston Meyer Is there a specific reason, why you like the jerk version of Luke? It just seems a bit weird, but to each their own, I guess. But Abyss is definitely my favorite game of all time. Very closely on top of FE 9 Path of Radiance and Radiant Historia. And I love Luke and Emil, because they are my precious sons and I love them. But actually, i can see why you wouldn't like the shorthaired Luke. Later on, especially the last Arc, he was just moping all the time. I think someone needs to get that kid out of his depression! And the best character ever is and always will be Jade Curtiss. This man is awesome! And he's the biggest troll in the franchise, together with Yuri from Vesperia. But yeah, Tear is awesome. She's so pretty. Also her and Luke make the best couple ever. But seriously, Luke needs to get out of his depression.

      @Weston Meyer
      I also liked bratty Luke, and wished that there was a New Game Plus option to keep him with his long hair (which I just liked better than his short haired character model), and get the party together by kicking their ass for abandoning him when they knew that he had no control over the action that drove them to abandon him in what was basically Hell, had no reason to trust them over his beloved surrogate father (who was also the only person to treat him with anything even remotely resembling respect, except for arguably Guy, who was secretly working alongside said father figure at that point and probably wouldn't have tried to stop Like from listening to him with the incomplete knowledge everyone had at the time, and Ion, who had followed Van's instructions as well and admitted that he was at least as much to blame as Luke for Akzeriuth, though everyone else just brushed that aside to continue blaming only Luke), and that several party members had vital information that could have caused him to distrust Van, but chose not to tell him because reasons.
      Besides, I really liked the way that his brash and snippy personality contrasted with his genuine good intentions, and, even when he was a brat, I loved that he was one of the few -JRPG- video game protagonists with an actual problem with killing people, and that he never actually gets over it. I think the way they revealed it with a cutscene was a lot more impactful than Estelle's admittedly hilarious "Well, I guess I'll just have to suck it up and kill monsters and then build graves for them all when I get back home" skit in Vesperia.
      That being said, Natalia and Guy both knew Luke for about as long as they knew Asch, and much more recently, in addition to the fact that Luke was essentially a seven year old with the life experience of a toddler, and didn't partake in any massacres or attempted murder-by-proxies that they were aware of.
      As for Jade, I liked him well enough, although I admit that he could be grating. He's not my favorite Tales Troll (I think that Berseria's Magilou is my current favorite), but I did like the fact that he was being played as a genuine sociopath who had gained people he genuinely cares about as much as he's able to, and is hanging around the party to try and undo all the damage that he deliberately and accidentally caused to said loved ones (and the world in general) by inventing fomicry, while also taking the opportunity to try to figure out how to be an actual person by observing a Replica.

    • @Nikita_Akashya
      @Nikita_Akashya 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Weston Meyer Ah, thanks for the information. It's been a long time, since I last played the game, so my memory is not that good. I actually liked all of the characters, because everyone was kinda cool in their own way. But I can see, that not everyone would like these characters. And the thing with Luke is: He is actually a seven year old child, that had to learn everything important in these 7 years. And I guess you're right that he might not be relatable for a real person. But if you think about it, the reason he changed so drastically was mainly because he realized he did some real bullshit. He also learned that his "master", to whom he looked up to, just created him as a substitute for his original, so he could die in Asch's place. I think that actually makes him even less relatable, because he isn't completely broken on the inside. He should be torn apart inside, because he just found out, that his entire life was a lie. Also I really hated Asch. This guy was the biggest jerk ever, even though nothing that happened was his replicas fault in the first place. And he's ten years older then Luke! And also how could we forget mohs. God, every time he appeared, I just wanted Jade to roast his ass. And punch him in the face! I seriously hated this unimportant side character way more than Asch. And asch is a jerk! But I kinda agree with you. At least your points make really good sense. Not like some other people, I see sometimes.

    The only Tales game I've ever played enough (completed main story) is Graces so I can't actually rank it. I really like the story and its characters (especially Sophie and Pascal). It really took me lot's of time to get along with the battle system but I have never mastered it so I think there are enough tricks I could use to have it easier.
    Additionally I own the PS3 collection with Xillia 1 & 2 but only tried it out. I also bought Zestiria last week when it was on sale at the Playstation store but haven't touched it yet. I have watched the first season of the anime, liked it and used the opportunity to get it cheap but can't say anything.

Liking anime and jrpgs made you extremely weird so I didn't talk about the games, except to one other guy in my shop class who was a fan of the tales games. I told him my favourite was Phantasia, and that it was my introduction to the series. He told me that your first Tales is always your favourite.... wise words indeed.

    I need opinions guys! I tried playing tales of symphonia some time ago and I got REALLY annoyed how the characters are all typical stereotypes (the shy blonde girl, the wannabe hero main character, typical "cool" old man etc.) And the dialogues / skits were focusing too much on the typical japanese politeness+shyness (like someone blushes for 2 minutes because their surname was mentioned or someone stands 1 metre too close...)
    And I can btw smell the plot twist from MILES away (the religion of the girl probably ends up a lie etc.. typical japanese again)
    So I wanted to ask you guys - will it improve with the other tales of games? Or is this series more for the dudes that love these stereotypes to death and sleep with their waifu dakimakura?
    Edit: I love jrpgs like final fantasy, trails in the sky and persona/shin megami tensei - so no hate against jrpgs in general but I really hate these never ending anime stereotypes

      @ErickLandonRPG  5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Symphonia, however good or bad it might be to some people, is overrated. Didn't mind including it on my video because I actually liked it, but that doesn't mean the criticism you pointed out is wrong. I agree with you. I see nothing outstanding in that game, seriously.

    • @rufustotal
      @rufustotal 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I recommend Tales of the Abyss. The story has fascinating delirious twists and the characters, still and being a bit cliche, grow well.
      I recommend patience with the plot, the thing does not develop as it seems and it is worth continuing (although you hate the stupid protagonist).

I have been playing this series since Tales of Destiny 2 on PS1, and for some strange, terrible reason, I have yet to beat a Tales game despite playing about half of them. Trying to remedy that with Tales of Vesperia now. My favorite entry from what I have played, though definitely gonna have to turn up the difficulty and give Berseria anothet go.

    Symphonia was my favorite. It holds some nostalgia though, due to the fact it's the first one I played from begging to end (I did play the ones on ps1 and ps2 as well).
    My top 3 I'd say would be Symphonia, Vesperia, then followed by Berseria, with Grace being close to it. I had a lot of fun though with the others (and even did the platinum on a few of the other ones like Xillia) it's a really good series of games overall.

    My personal list from my own experience is Xillia 1 in the first spot, mostly because it was my first tales game and it left the biggest impression on me and what to expect. Abyss I'd my second favorite one in the series, but I can definitely admit that it's a better game overall then Xillia, but I played Xillia first so bias :p. 3rd favorite game would probably be Grace's because the battle system is just very clean and though it's very exploitable, it takes a tremendous amount of skill which I don't have lol, but I just loved how you had to think about when to start or stop your combo, where as in other games, you just stop when you can't do any more typically. Fourth favorite is Xillia 2 because of things like the character side storys to give more development to the characters that I loved in Xillia living or dead, and it also gave me a more satisfying feeling then Symphonia 2 for example when seeing the world grow. Last but not least is Symphonia, and it's not really on the list on it's own merits, but that recently I played the game with a friend and we did a whole lot of funny stuff, and I may or may not have gotten soft locked for doing a glitch XD. Symphonia is an ok game, not great, not bad, just average by today's standards. The last 2 games I've played that didn't make it on to the list are zestiria cause it just failed to exceed expectations, and the only character I liked was Edna, shocker I know. Other game was Symphonia 2 and the reasons I don't like it are the main reasons most people don't like the game. Since Vesparia came out, I might play that soon,and hey, it might he on my new list idk. Also last little bit before I'm done, I played abyss on the 3ds and my experience with it was fine, very easy to get into since the controls for Ds are similar to other tales games controls like Xillia for example. Unless you don't like the shorter screen,have the game already, or namco reduced the fps for this port(wouldn't surprise me lol) you should pick it up

Destiny not so much the story is really unique, but it didn't age to well and in some ways feels even more retro then Phantasia somehow haha. The remastered version however looks fricken amazing along with its sequel and its sad we never got them over here along with the other non translated games.
