Title: TOS ( Q&A )
Post by: akdaman1 on December 09, 2003, 01:21:20 PM
Hey , I can simply no longer wait for TOS and am on the verge of suicide ( maybe TOS will be in heaven ) . Anyway this thread is for any questions anyone has on the game .
I have a few questions that I want to ask ,
1. When playinf FF7 all those years ago I remember being in jail , trapped in a desert , climbing mountains etc. The scenery , the stroy was so well put and memorable , Would I get the same feeling playing this.
2. Whats the length of the game
P.S These questions are for people who imported it , I can pretty much answer anything there is to know without playing the game , So ask ANY questions.

Arg! *shakes fist violently at akdaman*
From the reviews that I've read, the story is absolutely amazing, and that it is remarkably "dark" for a game of its series(mature content galore)...And I wouldn't worry about length...

I've never really been big into RPGS (mostly played the Mario and Pokemon variants of RPGs...) but this one actually looks VERY good to me. I may actually look into it if this reaches the states.

I would try to 1up you but I know you will win in the end with your superior intellgigence .
Does anyone have any pictures of the game's overworld. I wanna see some of the bad stuff of the game cause my expectations are very high , I was dissapointed with WW and MK DD . Althouh I dont see how the over world will ruin my experience .
Does anyone have questions ? I just finished school today so I am on PGC at least 6 hours of the day now.

There's mature content in this game? Yowza. Didn't see that coming.
I have a question. It was rumored that this thing will have 6 disks. Do we have confirmation on that?
Title: RE:TOS ( Q&A )
Post by: akdaman1 on December 09, 2003, 05:40:18 PM
No Berny it is a 2 disk game .
And Berto , Spring ? Is that April for you guys ?

Is this game as mature as Tales Of Phantasia ? Cause that game was way more dark than even GTA .

Well, let's just say this isn't a kids game...

Do you have the game Bill ? Cause you seem to know an awful lot about the game.
Tales Of Phantasia had swearing ( LOTS of it ) .
It had everything from swearing to talking bout how the party members might be in bed .

Well, I'd say good job to PGC for the first real review on ToS (Gamerankings had another one, but the reviewer stated he doesn't understand japanese) and good luck to the reviewer, I hope you can escape from Bill after not giving the game a 10/10.

And I'm already in the most rotten mood I've been in all year, so anyone even slightly pissing me off is going to get it...
Why? It's bad enough that finals are this week, but at 3:30 in the morning "last night," the fire alarm goes off...So my roommate and I are raising hell getting clothes, falling over in dazed stupors, and finally managing to find our ways outside into the 30 degree weather(without shoes) with the other students in the dorm...Then we had to wait for a half-hour outside because the alarms wouldn't turn off! The cause? Some stupid **** forgot to put water in their Easy Mac...And this is an Honors College, for crying out loud! Oops, brought this topic off on a strange tangent, but I just had to rant...
Now to find that ToS reviewer's e-mail...

Just a question for the person who reviewed the game .
You say that this game is the best 3rd party game on cube but it only got a 9 which is lower than some other 3rd party games ( VJ , POP ). Is it rated lower because you werent able to fully understand the game ( It being in Jap ) .
Anyway when is spring for you Americans ?

I've just checked the release date for TOS in North America and it doesn't look good! The game is released on the 30th of June 2004. Here is the link for anyone that needs cofirmation: http://www.nintendo.com/gamemini?gameid=m-Game-0000-1882&

ak: Uh, I think the reviewer is their japan-correspontant. At least the name sounds japanese and unlike some other review site he seems to have understood the game. However, I believe the japanese are a bit harsher with RPG-scores than with other games (points towards Famitsu). Apologies if I'm missassuming something here...
As you should have learned in geography, the seasons on the Northern and Southern hemisphere differ by 6 months (I assume you live in Australia?). The release of the game is said to be the 1st of April, someone in the NoE forums cited june as the official release month mentioned on NoA's page.

Akdaman, TOS comes to the U.S. on March 15th according to Gamestop.com
Also, why don't you just buy a plane ticket and leave Australia? It's obvious that the game situation their will not improve. Come to the U.S. were the Gamecube sells 500,000 units a week.

Post by: Berny on December 10, 2003, 09:52:04 AM
lol. I don't think the Gamecube is reason enough for someone to uproot themeselves from their home and head over here.
And if the Aussies want to buy Tales early, they can write checks to me, Berny Park, for 384549642235.98USD and I will gladly buy them the game.

Oh yes it is worth leaving Australia ...we get nothing. The situation has improved slightly but I am not going to expect Custom Robo , TOS or BK to come to Australia .
I for some reason think that the June 30th date is silly , it does not take 8 months to translate a game . That date is also for Killer 7 , I dont think Ninty want the 2 biggest titles on thier console to come out on the same day.

Zelos ? What system is it for ? My God I love Tales Of Phantasia , it rips Chrono Trigger in Half . I cant believe how hooked on the game I am . It is just amazing , and It really p****s me off that TOS wont make it until June 30th .
My friend told me that NOAus can import TOS for or something . Is it true?

Zelos is a character in ToS who is constantly hitting on all the females...

Okay, I just rung up Nintendo Australia and they said that there will be a REALLY HIGH chance that it WILL be released in Australia, but they are unaware of the date. Im guessing it wouldn't be too long after America has it released.
Title: RE:TOS ( Q&A )
Post by: akdaman1 on December 11, 2003, 01:20:06 PM
Hey I higley doubt it will be released here , But its good to dream.
I am goin to ring up and ask them about BK and Custom Robo
Title: RE:TOS ( Q&A )
Post by: Zero_Plague on December 11, 2003, 01:26:13 PM
The guy there sounded as if he was certain it was coming out. The only thing that we would be angered about is the release date.
But anyway, if it does come out here, did you still want the Action Replace 'akdaman1' ?
Title: RE:TOS ( Q&A )
Post by: akdaman1 on December 11, 2003, 01:37:17 PM
Yeah , how much you selling it to me for ?
Title: RE:TOS ( Q&A )
Post by: Zero_Plague on December 11, 2003, 01:48:43 PM
Depends what the price is when it is at the shops.
You can pay half the price for it so that it can be considered as both of ours so that we can keep lending it too eachother. I'm not going to use it for importing games so you can have it for most of the time, but I might just need it sometimes. Or you could just pay the full price which will be around $70 or something and keep it.
But if we share, then you would only need to pay $35.
Its up to you.
Title: RE:TOS ( Q&A )
Post by: akdaman1 on December 11, 2003, 03:35:03 PM
Fine 35 dollers , but we share , But if you dont use it for import games then what will you use it for ?
Talk bout it over Msn , we are going off topic .

Ladies and gentlemen I have some great news. Tales Of Symphonias release date has been opened up. Nintendo has changed the date from June 30th to Q2 2004 . This leaves it open for an april release.
P.S Bill I know you already seen this cause your post is at N-philes.com

Post by: vudu on December 12, 2003, 09:01:00 AM
Nintendo had that date as June 30th yesterday , I cannot wait . Anyway this topic was supposed to mostly bout TOS and I dragged it off topic ( sorry ) . So lets bring this back to topic .
What are the menus like ? I have been playing TOP and the menus are pretty bad , everything is together and it is hard to piuck out what item you want to use.
