My first Tales game and I don't have the GC 2003 nostalgia since I played this recently. I don't like abandoning games, but this was an absolute bore to play. Characters and story are animu and mango cliche land 101, the combat is mind numbing repetitive. The story is slugish too and at some point the game decided to stop being clear about what to do next. I will try Tales of the Abyss next to see if it was just me or this franchise is just something I can live my life without really diving into it.
Fun even in it's mediocre and flat design...
Shohei Ohtani probably trained playing this...

The time has come and so have...
Played mostly the co op so far, which can be a bit of a mess depending who you play with.
You have no idea where to go? Enemies can one shot kill your entire party? Welcome to the world of SMT games my friend...
This game is tough and not very fair.

Castlevania Bloodlines is vastly superior to this game in every single way.
I'm curious why this game is so popular. By this point the tank controls were already a headache, the backtracking was tedious and the story is not a big hook either. It was just more of the same and while the new location had some solid atmosphere the overall experience was bland. Finished this once and never came back.
I think I started this franchise with the wrong ports...

I can't quite make up my mind about this one, on one hand you would expect more when somebody from Treasure is involved, on the other hand, it's a decent time waster that can get repetitive in a musou kind of way. The story is silly but not that funny, the combat is just there, never bothering to be either challenging or addictive. Is just stuck in a weird limbo of being a bit too mediocre for it's own good. Just get it dirty cheap for Steam and see for yourself.

Survived only once so far, once they all get very depressed it's over...
1991
I'm totally down for a remaster of this game...
1994
It's goofy and charming in the right dose, even far more bold that many edgy games that came out later and even today.
Surprisingly a lot of fun and not just a downgraded version of the originals.
