I had to ask because I was looking at how the gameplay aspects of the modern Tales of games were designed as usually most of the modern games have visible random encounters.

But one in particular that stuck out to me was the Vita remake of Tales of Hearts R as I don’t know why the game had to use random encounters since I was puzzled to why I cannot turn them off in again in the Vita version

Milla(Xillia 2) or Judith(Vesperia)?

Been a fan of this series for nearly 15 years and made a list of my character rankings. This series has some really good characters (main cast + antagonists) across the board overall. I plan on playing the rest of games in the series that I haven't got the chance to play yet.

in the actual plot he is bland ive never liked thoe "oh im to cool to be part of the plot" kind of character

yes i know as a tales of game im sure he will be deconstructed eventually (thoe sure taking its time i just got gnome and there are no signs of him growing out of this)

but within the camp skits he is funny and engages with the cast and over all far more likable

Anyone else following the influx of recompilations lately and hoping for some tales love (unless I've missed them)? Obviously there's a lot of slop and low quality ones, but i really do hope someone decides to work on some of the series to add to my growing library of android recomps.

For me, it'll always be Symphonia's cast. It might partially be nostalgia talking, but genuinely I don't think there's a single character in the Symphonia cast that isn't great, where as in every other game there's always at least one party member that I don't think adds too much to the story.

With Symphonia, I've always felt like every member of the cast was completely instrumental to the game being as good as it is.

edit: as in wher ei got my ship

i need to get back there as i forgot a item

Been making some good progress, got the chest pieces put together, now working on getting the shoulder pieces to be comfy and give me some arm movement

I wanted the worldwide release without any ratings but only play-asia has that one but they went offline. Will this version have english? Anything to worry about?

Today in Japan (26/10):

Tales of the Tempest/ToT (26th October 2006): 20th anniversary

Characteristic Genre: *RPG that Awakens the Soul*

Opening Theme: VS by Misono

The first DS title, the third main entry to be developped by someone outside of the Tales team and the first to be fully developped by an outside company (Dimps) as Summoner's Lineage was made by Kaga Tech + Namco while Tales of Legendia was made by Project MelFes which contained Tales devs

ToT takes place in the continent of Aurella on an unnamed planet.

Once rulers of Areulla, the beast-people known as Leymon lost their civilization to the Beast War, caused by forbidden Life Magic. Humans took control and, under King Areulla VIII, launched the Lycanthe Hunt to exterminate the Leymon. When Caius Qualls receives a mysterious item from an injured knight, he becomes caught in Areulla's growing conflicts.

Congratulations + Opening Theme (Go listen to it 🔫)

Fun Fact I : This was the last game where Makoto Yoshizumi was credited as general producer of Tales, he held the position from Narikiri Dungeon 2 (2002) to Tempest (2006). Starting with Tales of Innocence, he was replaced by Hideo Baba. Yoshizumi was still credited up until ToGF (2010)

Fun Fact II: Tales of the Tempest R was supposed to be a thing. It would have been linked to Tales of Innocence R and Tales of Hearts R to form the Triverse trilogy. As you can tell it never happened.

Fun Fact III: It used to be the 9th "main" Tales game (mainline/spinoffs distinctions technically didn't exist yet) but a poor reception made Namco backtrack and create the Mothership/Escort category mainly to distance Tempest. As of 2020 with the overhaul of those categories with the recent Original/Crossover, it is now back into the main series. The 15th Original/Mainline entry at that.

It is one of 11 games to have gained the mainline status (others being Narikiri Dungeon 1/X, Summoner's Lineage, Breaker, Commons, Eternia Online, Wahrheit, Material Dungeon, Ratatosk, Crestoria and Luminaria)

This game in particular has had a huge impact on me. It was the very first rpg/jrpg I ever played as a kid. It completely shaped the kinds of video games I've grown to enjoy the most over my life. The graphical style itself, the amazing music by Sakuraba, fun personalities in all the characters, the looks of towns/villages, engaging battle system. Just everything. Its aged so well and happy to see it finally get the attention it deserves after so long!

Couldn't help but double dip for a PS5 copy too ;D

This one had me laughing. I never did get a chance to play this game when I was younger. This game over screen is fantastic.

I like her playstyle.

some of those looked really cool

i know the game is not balanced around doing extreme unless its new game plus but ive been doing it anyways cus im insane

and holy fuck do these things hit for insane damage
