Great Game, if your a fan of the tales series or a fan or RPG this is a game that you will want to pick up.
The Graphis of this game are the best in the tales series yet every detail is lush and clear and the colors are vibrant every land scape is worth a look around.
The music is good but sounds like some of the music was from other games like Xenogears and FF games but thats ok i cant prove that anyway.
the game play is nothing new to the tales series other than the weapon based skill system witch im not a big fan of. this takes alot of time to builed up skills make weapons get the materials for weapons and in the end you wont be able to use all the skills unless you plain on leveling your characters to level 200.
the story is good but not great its shorter than i would have liked but its still not bad. There are alot of side quests as you would exspect from a tales game and the chracters will grow on you but there is not alot of back story to each character some have some. some dont, some characters you will like (raven) some you wont (rida) but that just what i think
all in all its a great game not the best in the series but its not a let down at all if your a tales fan or just a rpg fan pick it up if you have the time.
