Who else fell in love with this masterpiece? It was the first and only Tales game I've played. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about it from start to finish. The story, the characters, the voice acting, the plot twists, the gorgeous cel-shaded graphical style, the music, and the battle system. It was the first RPG I enjoyed so immensely since the SNES days, and definitely ranks among my all-time favourites. I played through it twice and feel like playing it again. In fact, I just might.

Yeah, this game was so underrated on the cube. I loved every piece of it. It hooks onto you and you can't stay waaya for more than a day.

It's funny to call it underrated considering that it received a lot of praise and many good reviews, but I agree. It deserved even higher acclaim.

It's actually one of my all time favorite games! It was the first game in the series that I played, which led me to play others, and I became a fan of the tales series. God I used to play that game day in and day out when I was in 7th grade, I must have beat it at least 4 times! Oh man, thank you for making this topic, I think I might pop this badboy into my Wii and play it ^_^

I enjoyed it in the beginning but ended up dropping it. The voice acting was not good; it was my biggest initial gripe with the game, but I stuck with it because it seemed like it was going places. Well, it didn't go anywhere interesting, and I eventually stopped paying (I do that when I realize I'm not having fun anymore). Lame story and inane character interactions... ugh. I was disappointed; I went out of my way to pick up the game (doubly disappointed because I picked up Thousand Year Door along with it, and that game was tiresome as well...)

Well it was my second Tales game. And yes it was a really great game. Especially since the gamecube had so few memorable rpg's, and coming from the N64 which had just one rpg in its entire lifespan, Paper Mario. And that was released at the end of its life cycle.

I think it deserved higher, at least here on GameSpot, considering all the number of sidequests that could be done, and how much time a person can spend on this game, especially since they weren't going to get many like it if they only had a gamecube. Unfortunate that I never bought it back in the day, but instead as a "player's choice" when I first bought my Wii. At least one company has its backwards compatibility right! Granted, the hardware hasn't changed much from previous gen...

I've yet to actually play the sequel on the Wii, I'm just waiting until I'm not busy (which could border on never) since it received such bad reviews. so I'm going to have to be really patient with the game.

This game actually made me quit most RPGs. Why? Because i thought no other RPG compared to this game at all. No where close IMO. One of my favorite games of all time.

Now that i think about it though, the gamecube had a few truely awesome games (Zelda WW, Metroid Prime, etc.)

Really? I thought it was just okay, but it's better than I expected. Tales of Vesperia blows it out of the water, though.
