Hi /v/...here's some hot coffee.
This is a SFW board your perverted fuck.
Thank you but right now I don't want cofee.
I swear to god Lloyd, you cheeky cunt
Classic dialogue.
Back when writing in video games was actually GOOD.
Thanks. We'll have fun in SSB4 without you.
>>250321207
Why is he saying it's not coffee? Is this some Douglas Adams nonsense?
>>250321207
I lied, it's cold coffee.

How about a little hot coffee?
>>250321941
I don't think a single game back then was localized well, but at least some of them had actual plotlines that were intriguing (not tales games).
I just wish that more RPGs would display what it's actually like to be the "hero" as a teenager.
See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcUDGmWqW9A
The fact that they even added the option to run away from it all in a linear RPG is amazing to me.
>>250322437
He has suspicions that her JRPG quest tower unlocker / orb collector whatever are slowly killing her, so he gives her hot coffee, says it's actually ice coffee, and then reveals that it's actually boiling hot.
She can't feel it because every JRPGquest progress she makes is actually killing her.
It's actually a pretty decent scene.
>>250322695
>>250323047
>that Georg Prime backstory setup
Fuck me, Suikoden as a series has so much untapped potential for stories. One of the best RPG universes.
Is there a character who shares the same stereotype as Colette who hasn't had a shitty voice actor?
Or is it really just in the nature of the character to have everything she says sound limp?
>>250322936
Nope, it's hot.
>>250323205
But it is not coffee. In fact, it is something almost, but not quite entirely unlike coffee.
>>250323580
>>250323580
Agnes from Bravely Default, but then again everything she says sounds breathy and limp too.
No idea.
>>250323724
I wish I knew what you're talking about.
>>250323580
RPGs never should have had voice actors for this reason.
Nothing wrong with fucking reading.
>>250323713

>>250322936
>don't worry, I checked.
Why was the HD re-release so shit?
Anybody know where I can download the symphonia soundtrack?
What's this game?
>>250325875
Serious?
it's Tales of Symphonia
>>250326702
Never played JRPGs. Should I?
>>250326946
Might as well. You might like 'em.
>>250325605
HIT THOSE SHOWERS.
Combat: Abyss>Symphonia
Dungeons: Symphonia>Abyss
I'm willing to admit that the dungeons in Abyss seems to be lacking. Every "puzzle" was using one of the two Mieu abilities on an obvious switch.
>>250327237
Tales games are JRPGs for people who don't play JRPGs
I lied. It's actually empty.
>>250327237
At least they both had puzzles. In Xillia, every dungeon is just running and monsters.
>>250321207
Thanks asshole, now I just got fired and sent to jail.
>>250323485
This is amazing.
It's hot. How could they have cold coffee out in the woods?
>>250327542
The only puzzle I remember was where you had to jump on the earth seal symbols.
>>250327237
Honestly, as someone who adores Abyss, I have to agree.
reminder that abyssion in ps3 symphonia went super sayian while his cut in still shows red and is noticably worse than the gc/ps2 ones

>>250325620
It was a lazy ps2 to ps3 port, and the ps2 port was adjusted to run on weaker hardware. If you like dual audio its nice I guess, but its an incredible waste of opportunity.
>>250329756
It was also 30fps per second
>>250329756
I wish they would have redone the models or something. Presea's Elize costume was disappointing as hell. She really is cute, but the game was way too outdated. I hope they make Symphonia skins and put them in a future tales game
>>250330362

>>250334103
Thanks, you too.
>>250333586
Wait a sec
So the Tales games are basically Fujioshi bait?
Oh my god, it all makes sense now why the characters and the plot are so terrible!This has potential to be used to bait JRPG-fags for months!
>>250333943
Not like Tales has well developed female characters besides a few exceptions like Beryl or Estelle.
>>250334958
Well, kind of. You see, devs like to appeal to their biggest audience, and a huge portion of the Tales fanbase is female, in Japan at least. So yeah
>>250321941
>Tales of Symphonia
>Good writing
>>250334958
Most shows and games from Japan aimed at males have a bit of fujobait on the side to attract females fans too.
Jojo, Kamen Rider, FF, and so on.

Oh, right. That. I don't remember them even changing his name, I just remember that he died and turned evil. It's been like 10 years anon.
>>250329303
>>Lacking Voice Acting & music (In comparison to GC version.)
The fuck are you talking about?
If anything, the GC version is lacking Japanese voice acting.
>>250337558

>>250333586
I remember Yuri being top 10 some years ago.
What happened.
>>250338494
He and Leon got banned forever for winning every poll.
>>250338494
He took first so many times that he and Leon were banned from the polls
>>250338694
You fucking serious?
They should ban Luke then too, he always gets to the top 3.
>>250338494
Yuri and Leon got promoted to the "Hall of Fame" because they keep stealing the first/second spot in popularity polls and that was rather boring and predictable.
>>250333586

COURAGE IS THE MAGIC THAT TURNS DREAMS INTO REALITY
>>250336962
Judas was when he was brought back to live, and decided to help out the heroes.
But since he didn't want people to know that he was Leon, he disguised himself.
>>250326946
Try Suikoden and Suikoden II. Perfect JRPGs, still haven't played a better one.
>>250331137
>>250336839
Jade could have stopped it.
>>250340254
Shut up, nerd.

Just play it in Japanese dude, Tales games require no real understanding of moon to go through and get everything. Especially since these days they basically railroad you to wherever you need to go next in the plot.
>b-but I won't know the story
>implying you didn't already play it in english or didn't watch the cutscenes online by this point.
I never played this game, but I see this scene posted almost weekly.
Can someone explain the context here? Or is this lmao so randumb XD jrpg humor?
>>250329303
It has more VA work since they actually have new voice clips for all the new artes.
>>250343362
You don't?
>>250343247
That movie was terrible. It fucks with shit in the game's story and changes Alexei's motivation from "I have no idea what they villain wants to do because the game won't explain it" to "wow, that's really fucking stupid"

>>250344887

Nobody said Symphonia's dungeons were hard.
They were just long and tedious as fuck.
Are you ready to check that privilege?
>>250345096
>they can't just kill the fish.
>>250345285
No one said they were hard. The problem is that it's a puzzle just for the sake of being a puzzle. I was 17 when the game came out, and I was stupid like most teenagers, but even then I was basically Krusty betting on the Harlem Globetrotters
"He's spinning the ball on his finger! Just take it! Take it! The game was rigged, they used a freakin' ladder for god's sake!"

I got about 3/4 of the way through Abyss before I got distracted and dropped it. I think it was mostly because FONONS FONONS FONONS FONONS but I want to pick it back up again because of Jade and Guy who I believe are not only the only two sane characters but are also some of my favorites from the series as a whole.

>>250336962
You didn't play Destiny 2 did you
>>250352042
I would imagine most didn't.
It's my favorite game in the series, but I can se why people wouldn't like it much even if they had played it. It's a love story, the plot is actually built around that. The ending still gives me bitch tears
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVe5kP5wwxUYeah I know the ending is a total copout, and that it kinda negates the impact of what happened before, but it's hard to explain. It's like an old classic Disney movie ending. It's not what logically or even writing-wise should happen, but it's what you emotionally WANT to happen.
>>250352698
Agreed 100%Personally, I don't see why people are so obsessed with muhdrama that they would be more satisfied the character stayed dead in situations like this. It's like why bother with entertainment, just go read some fucking history, real life is full of shit like that and it's not very entertaining at all
>>250343247
Someday. Last progress bump was in March. 4% of menu verifications + patch implementation left.
Get your CFW ready. In the meantime play Xillia and Xillia 2 with all those 'JP only' DLCs.
>>250345704
It's especially infuriating because in one of the Human Ranch bases, Colette uses her wings to fly up and grab one of the key items needed to advance.
Screw Colette and that damn forest.
>>250346275
Get CFW on your console and wait until a converted JP DLC pack is out.
Xillia 1 had this shortly after release, and it even had all the item names and descriptions translated to the 5EUR languages.
>>250353042
Don't get me wrong, I understand completely why some people hate the ending. It's contrived as hell, it's emotional manipulation of a high level. and it flies in the face of the message of the story, that you have to face harsh reality when it stares you in the face.
But at the same time, I don't care. You spend the entire game watching two characters fall in love when you know plot-wise it isn't meant to be. You want the happy ending, even when it makes more sense to not have one. ToD2 is the only Tales game that just went "you know what? we're doing it anyway".
>>250325620
It cleaned up all of the models and has more content
What's there to hate?
>>250329303
I seriously doubt you've either played it or would have even noticed its 30fps. I played the gamecube one 9 fucking times and the PS3 version is easily superior in every way. You sound desperate in every way and seriously I get you're mad it's not on the Wii U, hell, I would have liked it if it was on the Wii U too for that comfy gamepad intergration but stop fucking shitposting misinfo agenda. It's sickening and we don't need this console war garbage
>>250341964
>That Tales of Abyss guy
This is me. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that people can say Symphonia was better. I clocked over 400 hours on GC Symphonia, Abyss was better.
I was actually watching my little brother play the HD remake over the weekend and was wondering how I managed to play it so much, shit is whack.
>my fucking face when Lloyd opens his mouth in Tales of Symphonia
>IT'S FUCKING ROBIN FROM TEEN MOTHER FUCKING TITANS
>>250354054
I think Abyss did this too, really.
But, just because Kyle was lucky things went well at the end didn't mean he didn't actually make those hard decisions he had to make. And this is a personal opinion, but really, the main point of a story is to be entertaining.
There's little point in something having all the story depth and poignancy of say, a show like Breaking Bad when you stop watching halfway through season 4 because you no longer care for the characters, their situation, or the outcome of the story.
If anything, as this is a series which has such a well established pattern, it would have been a bigger betrayal if it ended the way those people seem to think it should have.
>>250354054
Actually the ending works because it's a contrast with the post-Final Boss scene. If it was just a 'yeah this is kinda sad' scene, the ending would be a cop-out. But it's not, it's a max-level despair, ripping your heart out of your chest and dropkicking it into the garbage moment. We like to make the "why even live?" joke about never being with waifus and shit like that, but that is the actual emotional state Kyle is in during that scene. He isn't just so conflicted thathe genuinely considers damning the world if it means keeping Reala alive, but the whole reason Fortuna tries to tempt him with bringing her back in exchange for Reala coming back is because she knows Kyle might actually do it.It nearly broke him as a person. Even if history is rewritten and he (initially) doesn't remember her, is that a life situation you'd want yourself or anyone else to go through?
No it isn't, and that's why the ending works. Because it's giving you happiness after bringing you to your lowest emotional point. It's wish fulfillment, but it's also the literary definition of the sublime.
