This game was out a long time ago but never made it here, but now it is so yah of course I got it! lol. This game starts off with a bang as your main character Cless goes hunter with his friend Chester and comes back and OMFG the town is fried, finally dead OMFG SOB SOB SOB............ ok yah its a bit corny and done that but oh well lol. The graphics in this game are just ok. Theres other versions for this game that makes for example the summon spirts look insane, but this game isn't all that flashy. That could be because its for GBA and it can't handle those graphics but.... who knows. On the topic of spells this game freezes the whole area while a spell is done, but lets you watch it flashy destruction of everything in its path HAHAHAHAHA..... amusing for the first few hours but gets really annoying when you have 2 or more spellcasters and every attack you do freezes because of another spell! Tiger.. Indignation!....Bla.....Sylph! D..Fireball! E!.. Luna! SLASH! Damit that took forever lol. However through all that hell spells are insanly strong in this game. Arche becomes your uber character through the whole half of the game. The music is ok but its nothing great and theres really no reply value in the game in the sense of theres a reason to do it like Grade Shops. The game does have alot of side quests to do however. This game gives you control of 5 characters and 1 secret character Suzu to be exact. I kinda wish they had 8 as with 8 you can switch and so forth and not having to see the same character all the time. Maybe thats just me... The choice of characters is kinda limited to as Mint is your ONLY healer! No one else can heal you in the game basically making you use her. Then you have your Archer,Mage,Summon,Hero who can wield alot of weapons and Suzu whatever you wanna call her she used Ninja skills so yah sword with flashy moves in a way. The bosses are a bit to easy in this game as you can just ram them into a corner and go berserk! The only danger you have in this game is a spell thats hits all your guys and the enemy likes to use it a million times like Meteor Storm for example. I found this game entertaining and the added ova to this series makes the weak gba graphics not look as bad. I felt they could of left the conversations with the heads on the map and just a bit more in depth with the characters but oh well I guess. I still gives this game two thumbs up.
I would advise anyone who has played the SNES version or the PS remake of this game, to stay away from this. I mean lets face it, Tales of Phantasia is Tales of Phantasia, its still one of the best games ever made, a... Read Full Review
Tales of Phantasia is a great game. I'll go out and say that now. It's an old game, but with the word "Tales" in front of it, you know it's going to be great. ToP starts out with a boy named Cress. Cress lives in the ... Read Full Review
