So far im not really that far in (4hrs worth) but what ive seen ive loved.
Except one thing leveling up is weird, u must pray at a church to realize your true strenghts in order to level up and class up. With my luck i didn't figure this out and when i finally did my character jumped up 5 levels, and 1 class, LOL

Batn Kayy-tos (ka as in karma) would be my guess, but then again I've never heard the word "Kaitos" in Arabic. Maybe it's a different dialect.

"Ky" as in "Kyle."
And it is Arabic. Shinji Noguchi, producer, say that it's an Arabic term for a star located in the center of the Cetus (whale) constellation. Hence the whale we see at the end of the opening FMV.

It actually means "belly of a whale" in Arabic, if I'm not mistaken. It's pretty horrible Arabic though, the way they spell it. The "e" should be silent.

I know the basics... can have a small conversation with most Arabic people. And of course, a few choice swearwords here and there, because nothing is more fun than insulting people to their face when they can't tell if you did or not. Enta homar.
It's not that impressive, it's just another language, although it is harder than French and English to learn.
Anyway, back on topic. I'm on disc 2 of this game now... it's absolutely gorgeous, and the battle system is much deeper than I thought it would be. What I love most about this game is the obvious imagination that went into it... some of the weirdest dungeons and enemies I've ever seen. It's like playing through a fairytale spun by an insane lunatic. Granted, some of the pieces are cliche, but their presentation definitely isn't, and that more than makes up for it for me.

Certainly didn't see that coming.

Just like Alice in Wonderland was written by Lewis Carroll when he was smoking something......it shows if you've read the book

If and when someone finishes it can you please tell me the longevity of the game and if it is any good compared to Tales.
Post by: PaLaDiN on December 09, 2004, 05:19:50 PM
As for the Carroll analogy, yeah, that's pretty accurate.
Post by: zelos_rules on December 09, 2004, 07:51:13 PM
And too keep on topic I wanna also ask if the characters devolep as deep as they do in Tales of Symphonia, the charectars in TOS were my favourite part of the game.

Back on topic. I really like some of the characters here... none of them match Kratos of course, but it's not like any RPG character will ever quite match Kratos. And besides, I play with the voices off so it's harder to get attached to them.

Edit: I forgot to mention that this game beautifully gorgeous!
Post by: PaLaDiN on December 11, 2004, 08:36:56 AM
Also, it could be the first part of "Mirage".
As for Arabic, not as far as I know. It does sound like a normal Arabic name though.

Btw, to those that have finished the game, when you finished the game did you have seen/collected every card available in the game or were there still some? I'm only like close to 20 hours to this game and I have like 225/1022 cards that I've seen/collected, is that a good or am I being too lazy?

*sigh* I forgot about the combinations. No matter, because I love the card collecting, specially when a group of cards on my hand fuses into one new card it just makes me laugh at the poor enemy that is going to get hit with it.
