  • Uh, I have a question. I just beat Abyss last night (amazing game, btw), and now of course, im searching for another tales game. (can't play Symphonia or Vesperia because I don't have the consoles they're on.) So I was looking at this one. Is this a good game? From what I've seen, it has many mixed reviews, with some people saying its a great game to others saying its a horrible game. So..... yeah...do any of you reccomend this game, or does it suck? :/

  • @xWindtearx it is not for everyone, but I personally like it. People often don't like the fact that it has a 2D battle plane, no 2 player or Co-Op, generic dungeons, etc., but in my opinion, it has amazing music, character development, and storyline.

  • @Lukefonfabre9 thank you, i'm still taking it into consideration if I should buy it or not. I just love this opening!!!

  • @xWindtearx yeah, its just kinda hard to really recommend, while I feel its an amazing game, there are things that people often dislike about the game, but if you can get passed all that, or are like me and don't give a shit about the majority of the stuff people like, then yeah. Allow me to try and give a summary of some of the story at the beginning to start you off. It starts off with you and your "sister", Shirley on a ship, which you then lose control of it when the Legacy...

  • @xWindtearx the Legacy is a giant ship from an ancient civilization, nobody really knows anything about it even the basics like how it moves, etc., but there was somebody called the Merines, or Shining One who is able to control the ship with their will. Shirley is thought to be a descendant of the Merines and is then captured because of it. I find it kinda funny how the majority of the game is you on a HUGEEEEEE ship, anyways, I hope this helps a little.

  • @xWindtearx oh yeah, I should probably say that the first Tales of Symphonia is actually for ps2 as well, so you should be able to try it

  • @Lukefonfabre9 really? I thought that the PS2 version was only in japanese. same with vesperia, the PS3 version is only in japanese. (oh and thank you for the description earlier, that was nice.) P.S. Is there any romance in Legendia, or at least two characters that like each other? (like luke and tear in abyss?) I like love stories in videogames. XD

  • @xWindtearx hmmmm, well there is subtlties of it, I actually only cleared the main storyline and didn't get to clear the bonus storylines or whatever. After you beat the game, you go through some stuff for each character(amongst other things), for example, Norma is a treasure hunter, and in her post-game storyline, she pursues what she came looking for on the Legacy. I always thought that Chloe liked Senel since she gets jealous of Norma's flirting

  • @xWindtearx sorry I can't be more of help, its been probably 2-3 years through since I've played the game, I only just started playing through it again and I'm on chapter 2

  • @Lukefonfabre9 no, you've been a very good help, thanks. :) plus I really should finish final fantasy 7 before I get a new game. (sheesh its looooong. -_-) but anyway, thanks, i'm thinking about it. 

  • @xWindtearx Where in Final Fantasy VII are you now?

  • @Gilmoreboy2007 the part where shinra is trying to get the huge materia from the underwater reactor a junon. you are about to get to the submarine where they loaded it onto, but reno sends a boss at you. i hav been stuck on that boss for MONTHS!!! (not exaggerating) it keeps on killing me!!!! *cries TT_TT its called 'carry armor' i believe.

  • @xWindtearx finally nearly beaten Tales of Legendia, so I just thought I'd fill you on, there is plenty of romance in it, the romance actually plays an important part of the story

  • @Lukefonfabre9 hooray! i love romance in videogames! XD thanks for letting me know.

  • this is still one of my fav games

  • Ahh fond memories of when I was unemployed. I played this game day and night. About the only thing that I liked about that time. Great game. Beautiful music. Better cast.

  • tales of xillia got jude fight from this cool

  • Tales of the abyss is the best hands down!

  • Hey Sorry to All PPl But i dont really like Tales Of Legendia.....Srry FOLKS.

    I Prefered Tales Of Symphonia...(Im Realyy srry)

  • THE BEST RPG GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED!!!!

    I use Norma Beaty because of his amazing eres. :)

  • @34gl31

    "Her" amazing eres. Norma is a girl.

  • @Usayasha SORRY :)))))

    I know Norma is a girl....

    I am bit sleepy when typing my comments.

  • @34gl31

    It'd be interesting if Norma turned out to have been a guy the whole time.

    WHAT A TWEEST~!

  • My favorite tales games

    1: Tales of Symphonia

    2: Tales of Vesperia

    3: Tales of Eternia

    4: Tales of innocence

    5:Tales of radiant mythology

  • @TheZetman666 you haven't played "Abyss" or "Phantasia"?!?!..., i've played all the tales games and i think those are two of the best easily

  • @capostatus937 i have to get to playing them then lol im on tales of vesperia right now and i love it but not as much as symphonia i think that symphonia will always be the best in my book but im gonna start with tales of phantasia right now

  • AAAH! Such good good good memories... Cept that one part I'm currently stuck on ;_; So I haven't played it in years now lol. But baritenorsonheim is right about everything! Something about the story line just pulled you in with your heartstrings, am I right?

  • I really need to give this game another chance. I love all the Tales games, but I got this one AFTER beating ToV. I started with ToS -> TotA -> ToV -> ToS2 -> ToL

    And sadly going back to ToL is kind of hard. The battle system is so linear because it's older, and then the voices sound like they are standing in an empty Warehouse...

  • this game sucked i disliked it i prefer tales of symphonia over this game any day hell i would prefer tales of hearts over this but even so senel is one of the most badass characters in tales of games just this game was bland and boring did not keep me at the edge of my seat like symphonia and Abyss

  • @TheZetman666 True, but this game's OST could make up for it a bit. Go Shiina rarely gets it wrong when he composes music.

  • has anyone notice every tales of has had ia apart from abyss

  • @doommaster956 There's Also Tales of destiny and Tales of rebirth etc;

  • @doommaster956 Lol But actually there's quite alot like Tales of Destiny, Tales of Destiny 2, Tales of Rebirth, Tales of Abyss, Tales of Innocence, Tales of Hearts, Tales of Graces, Tales of Graces F( If you count that),Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2 Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3 Tales of Mobile, Tales of Fandom, Tales of Fandom 2 and Tales of VS.

  • @animestar566 also tales of eternia, tales of phantasia, tales of symphonia, tales of symphonia: dawn of the new world, and tales of vesperia.

  • @TheSoulstrikerX Yeah I know Tales of Symphonia and Phantasia are my favourite!Just I was just mentioning the ones without ending "ia"

  • @animestar566 Okay haha I didn't know, just thought I'd mention the rest to people just getting into the tales of series. Tales of Symph was the first I ever played and thought it was amazing. Second being Legendia. But my favorite would have to be Tales of the Abyss.

  • @TheSoulstrikerX Yeah it's okay I guess I'm kinda excited about the namco tales series I really love the them. Also Same here, My first was Tales Of Symphonia too, but I haven't played Legendia and Abyss. They weren't released in England, But I plan on getting a 3Ds to get the upcoming remake of Abyss. I also plan on getting Vesperia as that's quite hard to find.

  • @animestar566 Ahh I didn't know you were from england. I'm not exactly sure if the 3DS version will be better or worse than the PS2 version. And Vesperia is good. I managed to find it when they had like 2-3 copies in stock, so I was lucky. Good luck on finding it.

  • @TheSoulstrikerX Yeah, I'm English, but anyway it's really annoying how there's limited copies released, like the games become rare immediately.

  • @animestar566 No joke, bro. I searched all summer for Tales of Vesperia and I luckily got a copy at a used game store in Kansas.

  • @JoshuasFlowCool yeah, that's great! But I'm just a kid with measly pocket money...If only there was like a sudden boost or something and I'm really hating school, a bit confusing for the school part as I'm English lol.

  • the part i remember is the fiddle music, always, I go "that sounds like Legendia music!! XD"

  • This game was soooooooo underrated, people hated it because it was so different from the other Tales games. But I think the story, the characters and the music are amazing ! Yes, the graphics could have been better but it's one of the best Tales game, for me :p

  • is there a eng version of this game(or at least eng menu and text with jap voice) if there is can someone give me the link please i'm a huge fan of the tales series.

  • There is an English version; this is the English opening.

  • @Bryantzerox i know but i am asking for a torrent link...

  • anyone know who composed this?

  • why is there a god damn spoiler in the intro

  • @SomaCruz2 It always happens with animes =/

  • 1:26-1:27 was pure awesome. Senel and Vaclav beating the crap out of each other was simply amazing. The color coded hands were added win.

  • Don't let anyone con you about how brilliant this game is. Cause honestly, Legendia is pretty bad. The only decent feature was the music. Everything else? Gag worthy.

    And don't even get me started on those hideous musical numbers.

    ...okay, I'm done. I'm just tired of listening to whiny Legendia cults telling me that I don't know shit when it comes to a really good Tales game.

  • It was really a struggle for me to finish this game. Only did it for my love of the Tales series. I remember it having a decent plot, but the majority of the characters were unlikeable and the dungeon design was HORRENDOUS. Linear uninspired dungeons does not equal fun...

  • Of all the Tales games I have played (Symphonia, Legendia, Abyss, and Vesperia) I honestly found this one to be the least enjoyable. I've played the other 3 over several times, but couldn't even bring myself to even finish this one. I'm blaming that on lack of any character connection though. I didn't particularly like any of the characters in this game.

  • This opening always reminds me of how absolutely awesome this game is.

  • I enjoyed this game as well, more then Symphonia as well. 

  • Tried playing this once after playing Tales of Symphonia... truthfully, didn't like it at all

  • @gamerguy50

    Same here. But then I finished it. There are about two "endings" before you get to the meat of the game; the character quests. After you beat the army, after the Nerifes, you get to play what REALLY made this game worthwhile. And trust me, you will love it if you get to that point. Especially Grune, she's the best character in the game.

  • @Usayasha I personally didn't like Grune D: I thought that she didn't have to her character development, and I don't remember her joining your party for any particular reason

  • @TheDynastyStar

    But Grune is so much fun! And a Goddess who's counterpart is trying to destroy the universe! And she's fun!

  • @Usayasha I just didn't like her, I liked some of the other characters more, I kinda felt like she was added on to make the party a total of 8

  • Maybe You Gonna Hate Me for This, But I Have The Japanese Version, And The Opening Is From Do As infinity, It Was So GREAT, it Fits the Video Perfectly, And i Think It Was SOOOO BETTER than This Version (to be honest i HATE it)

  • @faizfuck Agreed with this guy, why did they cut the OP for? -__-

  • what tales game is the first?

  • @KaiWalkerChan Tales of Phantasia.

    The most up to date version comes with Narikiri Dungeon X. In japanese, and fantastic.

  • Visually, this is by far the best opening. I love the scene where Jay and Moses are on the tree...:D and the one where Will and Norma are exploding stufff :D

  • This was my first tales game and i have been hoked ever sence it is just to bad that the only ones i ever played were tales of legendia, abyss, and vesperia.

  • @444Darklord Then the next ones you definitely need to play is tales of symphonia, and tales of the world: radiant mythology. Man its cool how people still are fresh commenting on a 4 year old game. At the end of this video, im realizing the good times and epic music again. Im mad because i have to get it again this christmas, becuase someone stole mine, and on top of that it was one of the first to come, i think i got it on the week, or even the day it came out. GOOD TIMES GOOD TIMES!

  • @TalesofMe101 i did paly tales of the world: radiant mythology but i forgot to say that any way you are right all of the tales games i have played were epic.

  • @TalesofMe101

    Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology is not a good game by any stretch of the imagination...

    Radiant Mythology 2 and 3 are however.

  • Too bad i never bought this /:

  • @noobergoober213 you absolutely need evey goo tales game. I feel sorry for those who would want a rpg like these, and never even heard of Tale Series, if Tales series were more openly advertise like sports games, i bet sellings of Tales of would double. I make it better, because for each person that like anime or stuff like that, i tell them about "Tales Of", and the funny thing is all of my close friends that i showed them to, THEY ALL LIKED THEM.

  • @TalesofMe101 Actually, "Tales of" series is quite popular in Japan. For some reason, anything the does well in Japan, is largely unheard of overseas and the opposite holds true as well.

  • only thing i didn't like about this game was the battle mode and u encounter a fight every 10 seconds

  • @iRasmusi

    actually that is only towards the end, in the beginning the encounter rate is dangerously low on the world map.

  • I used to love Star Ocean...and then I played Tales of the Abyss..now I have a new favorite series.

  • @InsideAVitalSuit

    the first 2 Star Oceans are great games though.

  • tales of legendia for the loss.

  • @maniacchris

    Boooo.

  • Comment removed

  • @lagrtz

    29 games in total, although not all of them made it to the west.

  • @KamonPeachFox but theres only 12 mothership titles, 14 if u count Dawn of the New World and the new one theyre coming out with

  • @ronniemauck3

    Dawn of the New World is categorized as an "Escort Title". I was stating all the games in the series, however. Not just mothership titles. :)

  • I loved that game:) too bad my ps2 dont work anymore.

  • best part of this intro starts at 1:25 but my fav part is at 1:46

  • Wow, Senel is so awesome. I've been wondering if there'd ever be a main character who fight with their fists instead of a sword.

  • @chaos1654321 luffy, one piece <3

  • @Spliffor

    Oh I meant in Tales Game. ^^ But Luffy's awesome too. : )

  • @chaos1654321 i know right

  • Well now the main character uses lots of different weapons and in Eternia Reid could use a variety of weapons.

  • And you all may not know, but both Atlus and XSeed offered to localize Tales of Rebirth and freaking Tales of Destiny Remake, the best of the bunch. Namco said no. So, I'll never be thankful to them.

    They may redeem themselves a little if they really localize Tales of Vesperia PS3 (because everybody knows that they only localized ToV 360 because Microsoft paid them to do so; not that I think it's a bad thing, but tells a lot about Namco x West).

  • How sucky is this music compared to the original song, anyways?

    Thanks, BamCo of America, for ruining yer ANOTHER Tales games in the West.

  • @darkemg

    shut up and be thankful it came over here so you could actually play it dude

  • @XitsunaiX Should I be thankful that they did a half-assed job localizing the worst Tales for PS2 while not localizing Rebirth, Hearts, Symphonia PS2, Destiny 2 or Destiny Remake? Sure, why not. While on it, maybe we should thank Namco for localizing Muscle March insted of Vesperia PS3, too; after all, at least we can play that piece of shit.

  • @darkemg I hate comments like this... You don't know whether to thumbs up or thumbs down. But it's simple: Namco hates money. They are racist by thinking Japanese like different stuff than the west. Maybe people in the west don't buy all that many games (well, the people who like games like this) because they are bombarded by trigger happy shooters.

  • @FadingDream97 So you hate thinking about what others say, and like marking things with "like" or "hate"? Well, I guess Namco may be right, then; why bother localizing their best games to barbarians?

  • @darkemg You completely misunderstood my comment. All I was saying is that I agreed with some of what you said and not others. Wait, I'm a barbarian now? I wasn't attacking what you said.

  • I loved this game, too bad not so much agree.

    The only thing that was stupid was at the very end, you randomly go through everyone else's goals not during the actual storyline.

  • Legendia best Tales OST Ever.

  • This game had terrible dungeon design. But still, it made me cry at the end.

  • If course its my opinion, I'm entitled to it just like you are!

  • That is his sister? They did not show her in Tales of the world (RM)

  • Personally, ToL isn't one of my favorite Tales games, the first Symphonia is still my favorite, abyss is second and vesperia is probably my third. I like the story and the characters, but I don't know. There is something missing.

  • I personally really liked ToL. It's my third favorite Tales after Symphonia and Vesperia.

  • The music was the only good thing. Shirley is fail and needs to die. And that random battle rate was RIDICULOUS!

  • Okay< not looking for an arguement, but Legendia just didn't do it for me. The soundtrack was well done i'll admit, but the side-scrolling was a turn off after the grid system of Symphonia. The story was interesting, but you dont even get anyone's best spells or shirley for that matter until after the main scenario. Everyone has their preferences, and mine align themselves with Symphonia, Vesperia, and Abyss.

  • @IsaacTeranIceSage

    The only thing that stood out for me in this game was

    1) main character punches enemies.. persoannly i think punching a dragon in the throat is badass

    2) the skits actaully had voices... which was kinda only done in Japan at the time.

    3) the spellcaster (Wil) can actually do decent melee.

    other than that I agree. They coulda done alot better with Legendia

  • the skits were voiced...

    that is why everyone hates Legendia because Symphonia and Abyss didn't have voiced skits in the US and Legendia did.

  • I think it's because legendia was a little different...world map is a ship,the main character is a fighter,not a swordman....even Cloe is a lot diffenrent..knight,with short hair.m

    Most of the main girls that make a ''couple'' with the main guy are mages(and have long hair too)

    Anyway,love this game.The english openning is cool as well =D

  • @faytlengod

    what do you mean?

    Only Shirley and Chloe have the hots for Senel, it is only a love triangle.

  • Finally a video with the correct opening song!!

  • u must really hate japanese

  • Yaaaaaa Tales of Legendia ad yes this is the correct opening its also one of the best Tales of all time and one of the hardest I dare anyone on the whole world wide web to say the last boss was easy at lv 80

  • @lightfdar i disagree the battle style of legendia felt... weird... its a pretty good tales of game, i loved it but abyss and symphonia are the best :D

  • I must admit that Abyss has a wonderful 3-d battle system. I don't know maybe to me the story was better in Legendia and I own a lot of Tales so the fight system is fantastic to me weightier or not its 3-d or 2-d. also in Abyss one of the thing that turned me off was the constant returning to previous towns after u see the world there arn't that many other places left to see. I don't own a GC so symphonia missed me. but ty for the reply

  • this is probably the easiest Tales game ever made because Hard mode was a joke compared to mania mode on other games.

  • Comment removed

  • @ultimatetalesfan19

    Ok I see the mistake in my comment but in all fairness the structure of the comment was intended for the Character quests after the main Scenario. I personally found those mission very difficult especially the final Boss. If you reread the comment you will see I specify beating the boss at lv 80 and say it was not easy. I also have to ask which Tales game has mania mode ty.

  • @lightfdar

    Symphonia does.

    Unknown kind of replaced that as the hardest setting.

  • @ultimatetalesfan19 Ow just asking if you agree with me on this.. Is it not sad that the technology used is actually human tech but we cannot use it cause we totally forgot how sad:(, and would it have not been wonderful if they added some punk rock to the music score like in Alyse and would it not be wonderful if Senel just chose Chloe and be done with it. Also why did she have to die and why couldn't we fight Vaclave again. Tell me what u think ??

  • @lightfdar

    no, Legendia was better without the punk rock(NOTHING beats music played by a live orchestra)

    Vaclav is dead and Chloe didn't die, Stella did.

  • @ultimatetalesfan19 You got bored didn't you only answered like 3 of them. Ya I love the orchestra music also and I adore Chloe (ps. for some reason ever since I saw her the first time I was thinking of seeing her in a long white shirt with nothing else on and a long sword in hand, with a vexed face cause someone just woke her out of her sleep)<_< I could be more descriptive but you know youtube message length. Ya its just a few things that get me annoyed the stuff below and no multiplayer

  • The most beautiful English dub opening from the Tales series yet and I really like the sound effects, thanks for the upload :D

  • It was interesting since it was an attempt on the game without 4 player multiplayer... which was a bad idea. But characters/music/story wise, it was fantastic. Just, not as much fun when stuck as a solo-only game. And man I wish the second half had been voiceacted--Tales always has fantastically fitting voiceactors.

  • seneeeeeeeel fuck meeeeeeee!!!! XD

  • You have issues but u seem fun

  • Yet another amazing opening from the tales franchise.

  • My first and my fav Tales of ...

    5/5 and favs

    ~ Senel

  • Bleh. dont like Legendia. thought it wasn't very great. Symphonia obviously topples it.

  • I enjoyed Legendia a lot... LOT more than symphonia.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAHA!­!!!!!

    don't make me laugh at u now I'm only laughing at the comment

  • Well done with the video.

    Legendia isn't for everyone, since it's not multiplayer, and the battles are only 2-d. But I really thought the characters, plot, sheer quantity of moves, and especially the music were all fantastic.

  • press start button and let the show begin...

  • Tales of Legendia has probably the best character development in the whole system :) not to mention that it's soundtrack is the best too.

  • ToS is also a great list!

  • this is one of the most meaningful game in the "tales of" series~

  • Deepest game in the Tales series (In my opinion)

  • I think this game had the very best game play music out of the series (thats ive so far played which is phantasia, eternia, symphonia (1 &2) legendia and abyss) so dont complain tht vesperia is better caus i wouldnt know, but the only bad side of this game i think was the fighting it was a bit hard to get used to, but like most tales game the story ruled..

  • Anyone have a download link to this?

  • I love the music for ToL.

  • Tales of Legendia had the best cast of characters in the tales series.

  • not to mention best music

  • I'm not so sure about that one... I think Regal from TOS might just be the most imba mofo there is!

  • @dunk169 Opinoin D:

  • @dunk169 eh...:/ ToS will always be my fav, The only one here I liked better was Grune

  • @dunk169

    Bull crap. Have you ever played or even seen Tales of Symphonia?

  • @blazingwolfwings I love Symphonia, but I don't agree it has the best characters in the series at all. I think that title is reserved for Destiny or Vesperia.

  • @HotPocketEXE Most of Symphonia's characters lacked backstory. In the case of ToL, every main character has an in-depth story. Once you find out about a character's past, that's it for them. The development wasn't great, either. Zelos and Lloyd had good development, but most of the characters remain static all the way throughout the game. Kratos I'd say is in between, but that's because of his personality and his commitment to protecting Lloyd.

  • @LianaUchiha Exactly, I'm in agreement with pretty much all of your points.

  • @LianaUchiha Your forgetting sheena, and raine. and presea they all had major development in their characters,

  • @HotPocketEXE

    Agreed. Symphonia was great, but the characterization in this game was unbelievable. Especially when I think of the Character quests and the final ending. So emotionally packed. What I didn't like about the game was the random battles, the 2d battle plane, and the generic dungeons. For those reasons i preferred the gameplay of Symphony, but I think Legendia would make a fantastic anime. Best characters and story by far

  • @baritenorsondheim a full TOS anime right not a short ova where they cut alot out like an proper anime similar to abyss

  • @stupogo0 TOL****

  • @stupogo0 TOL****

  • @baritenorsondheim Yeah, the 2D battlefield lost me soo much grade in that game... Especially against bosses

  • @HotPocketEXE umm vesparia is good and so is destiny , but theres absolutely no contest that symphonia had the best characters.

  • is this like tales of symphonia?

  • yeh they are all similar

  • ToS>>>>>>>>>>>ALL!

  • Faggot. Kingdom Hearts>>>>>>ALL

  • Woah! Kingdom Hearts is great but i was taking the "Tales of" series. But when it comes to all games you are correct! Douche..

  • You should clear things up next time so i know what the hell you mean. Duh moron.
