Any fans of the classic Tales Of series here? *Tales of Destiny DC English patch*

[PermaNoob]

It seems like someone is working on a translation patch for the Tales of Destiny remake on the PS2, for real this time:

This is kind of a long awaited thing for me. I've been wanting to play this in English since 2007 or so(though to be fair I could have learned Japanese in this time).
Any other fans of the JRPG with the fighting game battle system?

The only one I have played is Tales of Symphonia on gamecube. Loved that game so much. I have Vesperia downloaded on my Series X but haven't played it yet.

Definitely give the series a try!

I played a little bit of Tales of Berseria but the combat was kind of convoluted, after coming back from a break I didn't know how to play. I also have Zestria but haven't played it.

[sooby]

I've always wanted to play the series but am playing a lot of other games RN so it'll be on the backlog

where do you brahs suggest I start?

Was thinking either Berseria/Vesperia/Xilia/Abyss

Zesteria seems to have mixed reviews and people don't seem to like Xilia 2

[kr1kit]

Duck Tales is the best Tales.

Consider Symphonia. It's considered one of the better ones, but I haven't played any of the others.

Eyyy
I'm actually playing Symphonia for the first time right now, and it's really damn good. Feels a lot like Phantasia, but improved in every way. Lloyd is definitely at the top of all tales protagonists too, he's got a lot of character.
Playing the Steam version. A lot of people complain that it's not as good as the PS2 or Gamecube versions, but I'm just glad to be able to play it.

From the ones you've mentioned Abyss is the most liked, and Vesperia is pretty decent too. I don't have a clue about the others, since I don't really have that much interest in the newer games. Namco is out of touch and made some questionable decisions. The new oncoming game, Arise, is the worst. They're moving away from everything that made Tales unique, and trying to turn it into a Souls knockoff to appeal to western fans. Bleh.
Oh yeah if you plan on playing more than just one, go by release date. It's hard when you get spoiled by a game mechanic from a new game that's not available in older ones. I still haven't found a free run mechanic in Symphonia and I miss that from Abyss


I've played most of the older 2D ones that are available in English as a kid. Last year I've finished Abyss which was alright, and now currently I'm playing Symphonia which I really like. Got Vesperia on my backlog too, but marathoning JRPGs is a little difficult as an adult.
Anyway I'm excited for the Destiny remake patch, because it's absolutely the most over the top and polished out of the 2D games. An old combo compilation still looks impressive to this day

Oh this is awesome news. I really always wanted to play tales of destiny 2. I am SO excited for Tales of Arise. I really think it is going to be amazing, I think it is the biggest budget for a tales game by far.

I’ve played Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia, Zestria, and Berseria. I’d play Symphonia/Abyss/Vesperia first and then Berseria then Zestria. Haven’t played any of the ps3 Tales games.

[PermaNoob]

Shame we didn't see any gameplay in the trailer for the new game Tales of Arise

Symphonia on GC is 60fps, I'm glad I still have my GC and the game.

That's why the ports are hated, 30 fps

Yeah kind of figured that one. I know there's a patch that fixes stuff and turns the Steam version into best version according to some people. I'm just tired from tinkering with stuff. It's still pretty tolerable in 30fps.
Having the original hardware is pretty damn cool. Great way to replay the game I imagine
