Another awesome Tales game, but sorta.....

A little on the spoiled hero side. I really enjoyed this game. I somewhat wish that Namco had not have made Luke a spoiled brat who all of a sudden becomes nice. I kind of like stories that way. Oh, anyway this game has really good gameplay. It is pretty much the same gameplay as Tales of Symphonia, except there is the new Free-Run feature. This feature lets you move around the battlefield freely so you are not going in a stright line. This feature is very useful for dodging spells :). The story in this game is great. I like the idea of a replica fighting his own master, who threatens to destroy the world. It is sort of like G Gundam where Master Asia turns evil, and Domon has to fight his own master. I liked the characters in this game. Guy was my favorite male character, and Anise was my favorite female character. It is funny when Anise acts all childish, and Guy has gynophobia (it means that he is afraid of women.) The music in this game is solid. My favorite was Tear's hometown music. It was so relaxing. Overall, awesome Tales game, memorable characters, solid music, great story, fun gameplay, and newer Free-Run feature makes dodging spells easier.
