| arcane_chaos said: Symphonia is most likely everyone's favorite Tales of games, probably will never be topped I won't say tales has gone down hill since I enjoyed Vesperia, Xillia, Hearts R and Graces F(mostly for it's combat, best combat system to date) I Think what has taken it "downhill" is its art direction; ever since Vesperia they totally abandoned the usually over world to this barren fields with monsters. Vesperia had the old school Tales feels with some good looking graphics. I'm really surprised NB stepped away from this route, Xillia 1&2, Graces F, and Zesteria could've greatly benefited from Vesperia art direction(though Zesteria looked good in some areas though I would say Zesteria antagonist(s) were straight horrible |
Symphonia is the most popular Tales in the West, but you'd be surprised that fans are pretty split about it (especially with the re-releases). Vesperia is my personal favorite of the series.
