@ Euphoria14

Also to let you know Estelle from ToV has one of the most complex back stories i have seen for a heroine in an rpg.

I always wondered why they did not make a sequel to Vagrant Story.

It must have sold at least 500k (310 in Japan alone according to VGChartz) plus it was part of the whole "Ivalice Alliance" thing if I am not mistaken.

That series had such godly potential.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

1. Tales of Symphonia
2. Fire emblem (1st for gba)
3. Golden Sun
4. Tales of Vesperia
5. Fire emblem Path of radiance
6. Fire emblem Radiant dawn
7. Fire emblem Sacred Stones

... Can't even make it to 10.... I do generally like JRPG's though. I know why my list is barren though. To this day, I have yet to find a final fantasy game I like. And I hate the art style for dragon quest. They all look like dragon ball, and.... I just don't like it.

PS. Thanks for your sig Shadowblind. I thought you'd lost your mind. And mine too.

Why do you like ToS over ToV? Did you not see the video I put up of Yuri kicking Kratos's ass

 

I felt the story was much more fleshed out, and the side quests were much more accesible, etc, etc. I loved the art and battle system of ToV, but ToS was my first time experiencing a tales game, so it will remain much more memorable.

And Kratos is cooler than Yuri. Sorry. That video.... Along with the other fabrications on youtube Never happened. ._.;....

KRATOS COOLER THEN YURI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't just hear that. I going to pretend you did not say that.

Sorry I don't shoot up.

 

 

 

Oh! Alright I see what you mean.

Anyways, for me Terra > All female JRPG characters.

 

Does this Estelle girl have more backstory than Elly? Elly's backstory is over a several hundred year period if I am not mistaken.

Much cooler. Sorry. The wings were frikin awesome and his judgment outfit was siiiiiiiick.

His awesome hairstyle doesn't hurt either.

I'm not Saying Yuri's not cool because he really is. Just not like Kratos. AFAIK, Kratos>Yuri..... (Judith>Yuri too... And Judith... And Rita... And Sheena for that matter.... You should know why...)

 



Yeah, I finally have a sig.

The beautiful pictures in your sig has made me want to play ToV all day.

I almost bought it earlier today just from looking at the damn thing.

 

Here are some more beautiful pictures from ToV

 

 

I cannot wait for the movie :D

BTW, do you know where I can find some good Tales of Vesperia Renders? My sig is getting old, and planetrenders only has a few. @linkthe2nd: Turns out it takes more to sway me away from my all time favoitre JRPG then I thought at first. As time goes by I learn more and more how much detail and care was put into vesperia, and while So4 is amazing, Vesperia eats it alive.

I also agree with g-value; I think Yuri > Jade > Kratos. Kratos was awesome, but Jade Curtess was simply too funny and awesome at the same time, while Yuri is badass, funny, awesome, and has a kickass samurai outfit.  Kratos is the best Tales character prior to Abyss imo though, and a fantastic characte



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Your going to say Kratos is cooler because of his damn wings?!!!!!!!

Judith is fine as hell and a great character with a great back story but that does not mean she is cooler then Yuri Lowell. I think you are going to have to play ToV again. You are reminding me of Shadowblind when he said SO4 was better then ToV.
