Tales of...

Well...I wanted to start this topic,originally,to ask about the game,"Tales of Vesperia",to see if it's worth buying,renting,or ignoring. But,I have now decided to just make it a topic about the entire "Tales of..." series! So,start chatting people!

My favorite video game series, closely followed by Fire Emblem, which depending on my mood switches from time to time. I've played Phantasia, Destiny, Eternia, little bit of Destiny 2, Symphonia, Legendia, Abyss, Vesperia, Dawn of the New World, Narikiri Dungeon 2 and Radiant Mythology... think that's all of them.
Good stuff, though I must admit I'm a little worried that they are pulling the Final Fantasy route. There is fewer and fewer differences between Tales games now. They start going stale like Final Fantasy, and I'll stop playing them.
Anyway, looking forward to Graces. Might actually give me a reason to play my Wii. Plus I'd love for Innocence and Hearts to come out the DS overseas, but that isn't likely to happen. Now it is starting to look like Radiant Mythology 2 won't come to the PSP in the U.S. either.

By the way, there's a rumor that one of the Tales of.. characters is set to appear in Endless Frontier: Super Robot Taisen OG Saga EXCEED. Before the info of the game was released, there was a poll going around asking which characters people would want, with a ton of them being from Tales of...

Yes, yes I am. I'd even go as far to say I'm a fanboy (either with positive connotation or negative.)
Fanboy enough to solely base buying a PS3 if and when Tales of Vesperia is released in the U.S. on the PS3.

Haha well that sounds like all the tales that are US released at least.
For me I love the Tales of series as well and played (copy from tsurayu for ease): Phantasia, Destiny, Eternia, Symphonia, Legendia, Abyss, and Dawn of the New World though only completed eternia, legendia (main story, did like 1-2 side story afterwords of the 6-7), Abyss (current fav.) and Dawn of the New world.
As tsurayu stated, I wish innocence and hearts come over so I can literally play every kind but can only hope.
Graces is definitely one to look forward to, from the previews the graphics are amazing and the fight engine looks great that it looks more like a fighting game. Though I am curious how the fights will progress with the absence of tp gauge. Also I can't imagine how long it will take me to try to 100% the game, seeing how I spent over 300 hours on abyss and still missing an item, title, or so.
Personally I am mainly getting ps3 when I can for Ar tonelico 3 (possibly Ar tonelico, Mana Khemia, and Atelier series are my next fav. rpgs following tales) but I will get Vesperia when it comes out though I am curious as to how the new char. aka white chat (eternia reference) changes the game and how useful she is.
Overall I just can't wait for Graces and continue to play my fav. rpg series tales of...

Good series, and I agree that the games are becoming a little redundant. But the same could be said for JRPGs in general. The plot in 99% of JRPGs can pretty much be boiled down to: a group of kids out to save the world from destruction.

Gotta be my fav series ever. A Vesperia with a bunch of new stuff added coming out and Graces coming out I haven't been this excited about a games release since Abyss.

I was a pretty meh Tales fan until Abyss. Abyss completely revamped my opinion regarding the series, though I do agree that the series has undergone a little repetition.
That being said, Yuri is the most hardass JRPG lead in a long, long time.

Symphonia was the first one I played, and it made me go "WOW". Then I had the motivation to play the others. Played tales of destiny 1-2, abyss and Legendia since.

Symphonia was friggen kick ass, then after that, I got Legendia, which I LOVED for the story, but the battle system was so bad that I returned it and got a refund.
Soon after, I got an emulator and tried Phantasia, but I didn't like using my laptop to control it, so I stopped.
I got Abyss, fucking loved it (my fav yet), and then Vesperia soon after.

Endure the Laptop and get the PSX version, trust me. Phantasia is one of the most awesome tales game ever.

On topic, I've only played Symphonia and Phantasia. Plan to play Abyss, Symphonia 2 and Graces eventually. Destiny, Destiny 2, and Eternia won't come until much later.

Does no one else think that Symphonia and Phantasia are two of the greatest Tales games ever? :/I like them all, but the whole direct sequel-age between Symphonia -> Dawn of the New World -> Phantasia is pretty good stuff. It was fun having played Phantasia, then going later playing Symphonia when it came out. I was like "Hey! I know this place, I know that item!" XD

Eh...I wasn't really that fond of Dawn of the New World, but I loved the connections between Symphonia and Phantasia :3

Tales of Symphonia was possibly the best game ever.Rising Falcon brings back sweet nostalgic memories.
