What in the absolute heck.
Did they finally unfuck the port?
>>333700631

Man I absolutely LOVED this game back in the day

You were a retarded child. Don't worry though, you have propably grew up by now.

I don't think you should call him retarded if that image is your opinions.

I deed eet.
Phantasia was cool too, wish I had known about the PS1 version since I played the GBA one.
Played Abyss on 3DS, pretty good.
Didn't finish Destiny, I think I'm in endgame , the sky is full of those paths or whatever. Just didn't rope me in enough.
Raine is best girl.

PSP one is better and has a grade shop. But it doesn't have an english patch.

Symphonia is fine when you're not looking backwards. I don't know what they were thinking with the ex gem system and T/S tech (arte) growth. that shit was straight retarded. It's definitely not as easy to enjoy the battles after graces F and beyond but the world's big as hell and theres plenty of hidden crap. some non-linearity at certain points was kind of fun. dungeons are actually dungeons with puzzles sometimes, think that's the last time they bothered with that.
>>333700729
the same people that ported Ultra Street Fighter IV to PS4 ported ToS to PC.
Since this is a tales thread, been wondering if Eternia is any good. Had it on my ppsspp emulator backlog for awhile, but never started it
>>333700406
the hole thing is a schema. its not worth the custom
>>333701123
I agree with Xillia 1 and 2 part in picture, but disagree with everything else.
>>333701123
I'm a big Graces F apologist and even I wouldn't rate it that high. Also Symphonia isn't that bad. By today's standards it's just average.
I remember booting tos up on the ps3 and thinking oh all the people who played it before (on gamecube) say its fun but pretty easy
But i guess we got the ps2 version, which nerfed all the sploitz and pumped the monsters with some fresh juice. Nearly dying in the newb areas in a tales game surprised me.
>>333701123
>shitting on Symphonia
>liking Xillia and Xillia 2:Blandness Boogaloo
I don't even like symphonia that much myself outside of "muh nostalgia", but are you sure you're not the one that is the retarded child?
>>333701854
I thought PS2 version was easier. They just removed the dragon farm pretty much and made one of the cursed weapons slightly more annoying to get.
>>333701934
I would take Xillia and Xillia 2 over Symphonia just for the combat systems alone, but I agree it's not nearly as wide a margin as he's suggesting.
>>333701502
>played the GBA one
How the fuck, holy shit? It's awful
>Destiny
Please tell me you're not talking about the PS1 original because if you've been playing that I feel very bad for you
The PS2 remake is really fucking good though, English fan translation in the works
>>333702170
>played the GBA one
So did I. I even own it. Never fucking again.
>>333702017
See I hated Xillia' battle system. I thought the 2nd made it a little more interesting, but it was still just spamming whatever moves you felt like as "combos". I never felt like I was figuring new combos out like in the old games because everything just connects together in xillia.
>>333702490
That's exactly what I liked about it. In almost every previous Tales game, you start with a physical wind-up combo and then move into artes.
In Xillia, every attack, arte or not chains together interchangeably, so there's no need to waste time time softening enemies up with a basic combo. You could cut straight to whatever move would be most effective at the moment and go from there.
You're still building big combos and connecting your attacks like in previous games, but now you have more freedom to start them however you like. It felt way more flexible.
>>333702490
>xillia 1
>combos
Palm strike + palm strike + palm strike . . .
xillia 2 was better but they made it feel janky by using R1+key combos to switch weapons or dodge to the side. was pretty upsetting because the r1 mapping of artes would fuck up alot due to all the jobs r1 had
>>333702784
I can see the appeal, but I play alot of fighting games and that aspect of learning what connects and what doesn't is what made the older games feel almost like a fighting game to me and that is what made me fall in love with the Tales series
After Vesperia and Graces, they've clearly been going down the Xillia route with their battle systems and it doesn't really appeal to me
On a different note, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I actually liked Zestria better than Xillia. I REALLY didn't like Xillia/2
>>333702848
>Palm strike for days
That's pretty much what I was implying. I think you mis-understood my post
>>333703185
its ok xillia 1 was easy of course but still felt alright. xillia 2 didn't feel as smooth but was much harder. "harder". Bosses turning into rape machines at low health is how i remember xillia 2.
>>333702170
GBA and PS1 original. Guess I should restart on PS2, lost track anyway.
Hate how the party is set up though in Destiny, everyone has magic swords tied to elemental spells, when will I ever cast magic as Stahn or whatever his name was, better leave casting to Philia.
>>333703483
Er, what? X1's combat system was far worse than 2's. 2 was much smoother. Elements actually mattered and bosses didn't break out of 10 hit long combos automatically and unavoidably. Well, they did, but you could keep the combo going by not sucking, which you couldn't in 1.
I do agree that some of the bosses were a lot harder but I think that's a good thing, Xillia 1 was easy as shit.
>>333703535
Destiny PS1 is terrible and insanely archaic. Phantasia's PS1 port, which came out not too long after Destiny PS1, was so much better in so many ways it's pathetic the latter was so bad.
