The Tales Series, the greatest JRPG (or RPG in general) ever in my opinion. Who else has played this games, and which ones are your favorite? My favorite has to be Tales of the Abyss. Its battle system seems more refined, the story just might be the best of the ones that I've played (all two that I have the money to buy ), and it has a lot of subtle things that are really awesome when you figure them out. And my favorite opening theme evar.So, discuss this amazing series.

I owned Tales of Symphonia on the GC, and I loved it. One of the best RPGs I ever played. I am really looking forward to ToS2 to see if it can meet my expectations for a Symphonia sequel.

Oh definetaly. I'm happy they're bringing back the affection system. I was so sad when that wasn't in Tales of the Abyss.

I haven't played much of the Tales series, but I really loved ToS. I'll definitely be getting Dawn of the New World when it comes out, and probably the one for 360 whose name I can't recall offhand.
Also, have you guys heard about the upcoming Tales of the Abyss anime series?

ToS was the best imo. Genis and Zelos are too good.
The 360 one is Tales of Vesperia.
And nope. I want a ToS anime though. I'm sure they have it but I'm too lazy to search.

Yeah, there's a four-part OVA that leads up to the part where they make the jump to Tethe'alla. There's going to be a sequel series coming soon that picks up from that point.

Yes, I've seen all four episodes. I can't wait for the next four. Oh, and Tales of the Abyss is going to have a twenty-six episode anime adaption. Hells yeah. I'm worried they won't include Tear's kitty costume.

Just like Negi, I, too, have never heard of this. But in my opinion super mario RPG was the best RPG EVER MADE.... mainly because It was my first RPG and I loved it soooo much.

I don't think it's an RPG. I don't know what to call it, but it's not an RPG.
I love Tales of the Abyss, like Darkurai. Symphonia has a special place in my heart. (My first Tales game, and if not for it, I wouldn't be on the internet believe it or not.) Phantasia was fun untill I started dying. I hate Legendia. I'm stuck. Not "Ok, what do I do know" stuck, but "How do I get out of here I'm trapped?" stuck.

i have both phantasia and symphonia.
i beat symphonia twice and i haven't played it since the second time i beat it due to me playing both baten kaitos games which are also excellent rpgs and made by namco also.
on symphonia i did most of the extra quests like the dark weapon quest and getting that other spirit you can summon.
baten kaitos is awesome by the way. just as good as symphonia is. you guys should play that too.

i have both of the games. im about to beat origins even though i bought like before last christmas. but that was because a bit after that i bought my ds with phantom hourglass, pokemon, and advance wars and after that i bought the wii with brawl and my bro bought the wii fire emblem. namco makes great rpgs and both tales and baten kaitos have great twists in them that make you go wtf!!! the best example is ToS on how kratos is lloyed's father and how the religion they have is a lie that is used for mithos to resurrect his sister martel
