Tales of Destiny

I've played too many games to even remember most of em' and I decided to buy Tales of Destiny due to an urge to have a new RPG. I wasn't sure of what to expect, I thought it'd probably be some lame no name chance out of nowhere like Tecmo's Secret of the Stars. But then I played it, now this game hit me pretty hard considdering what my idea of it was. I couldn't stop playing, I played this unique battle system and the storyline until I couldn't stay awake. I played this game for two and a half days streight. I didn't even do this for Final Fantasy 7 or Suikoden, this is a game that you wanna play more and more of. very powerful plot indeed but the graphics were certainly weak, I mean they were pretty bad(not as bad a Lunar Silver Star Story Complete's but still pretty weak.) However the music was the best part about the game I think that it beat out any other game's music. Most games have their strongpoints and that's it. Xenogears has the best plot I've ever seen. Suikoden has the best battle system I ever seen. Final Fantasy 8 has the best graphics I've ever seen. But Tales of Destiny have them all balanced out(cept the graphics). I'd reccomend this game to anybody accept the people who only play a game for it's graphics. ~Seth~

I really would like to know why this game isen't famous. I didn't know anything about the game and didn't hear about it before or nothing. I love RPGs so I went to my rental store and looked at a bunch of games. I found this one and picked it up and looked at it. I said "Nah...I will just get Medal of Honor instead." Man is Medal of Honor a great game but then I rented this and loved it. The first reason I like it is because of the battles. You can actually walk up to them and swing your sword at them by pressing buttons and you get learn new skills to do really big moves (I guess you could call them limit breaks but you can use them as much as you want anytime you want until you run out of your points for magic). And you can have all of your characters fight at the same time so you and 3 other people can be pounding on one enemy. You can pick different stratagies on the battle menu. Like you can pick no spells so the computer people that are in your party won't use any spells. Which that is another reason why I like the game. You just control one person in the battle. 3 other people help you out using spells on there own and sometimes when the other people in your party gets really mad they will constantly use spells and let all of there energy out. I really didn't know what the guy was talking about on the review under the title of the game. He was talking like this was the worst ever. Everything he was saying about I disaggreed with. Another thing I like about the game is how the people treat you. They treat you like real life but maybe a little ruff. Don't worry I won't spoil anything. You can walking around town doing nothing and then you can help this girl out and she and another person will say "So......let's sit down somewhere to talk." And then you go in this place with a bunch of drunk people in it which is very humorous. You all talk and decide to go on journey. So then they rent you a place at the inn which is right next door. You go in there and fall asleep. The next morning you see yourself in bed still asleep and you see a bunch of ZZZZZZs about your head which makes you laugh at how cool the game is. Then you see the two girls come in and they talk together telling each other to wake you up. Then one of them walks up to you and kicks you in the face and yells wake up. After you wake up you go "HUH...HUH! Oh....Good Morn(yyyahhhhhnnnn)ing." And then one of the girls go "Your such a zombie." It's just a really really fun game. You go out in snow storms and dungeons and a bunch of places that you can just check out for the fun of it. I really don't why people say this game has such bad graphics. I just finished beating FFVIII and played this game and didn't think the graphics were bad at all. In fact I like the graphics on this game way better because they let you laugh sometimes when you see how they walk. You see your legs walk really fast just like on Charlie Brown. That's basically why I like the game soooooo much because of the fun graphics and the fun gameplay. If you want a fun game that will make you laugh play this. If you want a good game that will make you have different feelings play FFVII. BUY THE GAME! MAKE IT POPULAR!

Namco's Tales of Destiny was by far the greatest RPG I've ever played in my entire life. (13 years) When I first rented the game with my friend, I had supreme doubts, and I thought it looked terrible. But after renting it myself, I got hooked. I guess the battle system and the weaponry and characters got me. We continued renting it, and my friend and I both played it using the item that allows you to in the game. The graphics are ok, almost like SNES. If you like Final Fantasy Anthology, this is the game for you...
