My first Tales games, and easily the one that I've replayed the most. I've probably beaten this game 10+ times, more than half of which I did basically every sidequest, and single-handedly introduced me to the action RPG genre. Even though Abyss and Vesperia improve upon it in a lot of ways, it still aged like fine wine and is worth playing. The story is great, the characters are likeable, the gameplay is tight, and the world is extremely memorable. I just wish the Tales studio would stop remaking this game, since it already has so many remakes and ports and either make new games, or remake literally any other game in the series.
