Tales of Legendia

Tonberry_Kid · 07-17-2006, 09:14 PM

I was thinking about buying Tales of Legendia, but there is no used version of it at my local EBGames/Babbage's/GameStop...Is it worth the $40-$50???

**Squeek** · 07-17-2006, 09:25 PM

No music from Motoi Sakuraba.

No 3D battles.

=(

That doesn't answer my question though...Is it any good as ToS???

**Chromer** · 07-18-2006, 10:58 AM

No "Tales of" will ever be better that Phantasia and Eternia.

Tonberry_Kid · 07-18-2006, 01:35 PM

In comparison to ToS, this game is terrible.

They rushed another release out while the hype around the Tales series was still high. It failed.

Get Moogy in here.

Tales of Legendia is the worst Tales game. It was developed by an unrelated team from Namco, not the remnants of Wolf Team/tri-Ace that still work there. Thus, it was not that great.

Like Squeek said, Sakuraba didn't do the music, which is a huge thing going against ToL. The graphics are also UGLY, especially compared to ToS.

The gameplay falls flat, too. If you enjoyed ToS, ToL won't really present any new material for you. It is quite boring.

Good Tales games: ToP, ToD, ToE, ToD2, ToR, ToS, TotA, ToW, ToW2, ToW3
Bad Tales games: ToL

That's Tales of Phantasia (FINALLY released here after 10 years, but the GBA version sucks and so does the translation) for the SFC/PSX/GBA, Tales of Destiny for the PSX, Tales of Eternia for the PSX (released as ToD2 in America), Tales of Destiny 2 for the PS2 (the real one, never released here), Tales of Rebirth for the PS2 (not released here), Tales of Symphonia for the GCN/PS2 (the one you've probably played, only the GCN version was released here, the PS2 version sucks anyway), Tales of the Abyss for the PS2 (special 10th anniversary Tales game; it's great and it's being localized!), and Tales of the World: Narakiri Dungeon 1-3, which are for the GBC and GBA (not released here).

So yeah. Every one of those games is much better than Legendia. Go pick some of them up.

How can I get a hold of any of the other To series??? I can't read Japanese worth crap so, would it even be worth it?

**Moogy** · 07-19-2006, 03:25 AM

They're pretty import-friendly. The battle system is, at least.

That was pretty nice, not being sarcastic.

I looked at Tales of Legendia and immediately turned away. It just looked too crappy in my opinion. I mean I know I shouldn't judge by graphics, but it just looked a bit too crappy.

Tonberry_Kid · 07-19-2006, 11:56 PM

I like story-lines to games. If the story-line sucked than the game sucks just a bit more than usual. But game play is where it's at.

How much do they cost for the other To's??? $50+???

**Moogy** · 07-20-2006, 12:12 AM

a trillion yen

Tonberry_Kid · 07-20-2006, 10:33 AM

Could you tell me a site or something I could order one from??? And don't I need an adapter or something for my PS2/GCN for a straight-from-Japan game? One of my friends tried playing a game he ordered from Japan on his PS2 and it didn't work because he didn't have an adapter or whatever hooked in.

blitzmage · 07-20-2006, 01:04 PM

You need a chip or swap magic for ps2
Freeloader disc for gamecube
Anything else is region free I think

The gameplay and graphics look awesome, I just can't get over the problem of I can't read what's going on =\...

Yeah, just read the English FAQs and they'll usually give you the storyline, and exactly where you need to go. Don't even bother posting there asking about the storyline, you'll probably just get flamed and told to look at the FAQs.
