RPG DILEMMA
« on: February 14, 2006, 02:03:03 PM »
Alright...having recently come into possesion of a PS2, I have been getting RPG's like mad...and now I have a crisis.

Should I get Tales of Legendia or Atelier Iris?  

I LOVED Tales of Symphonia, and TOL sounds like much the same thing (generic story but awesome characterization), and I was pretty much sold on it til I read it HAD NO MULTIPLAYER.

Bastards.  I had the most fun playing TOS with three other people, all working in concert to lay the smack down on some angelic ass.

However, as I said...characterization is supposed to be top notch, and you can even continue with character specific sidequests once you beat the game.

Of course, looking for recipes and titles is always awesome as well.



But...Atelier Iris has a few things going for it...I read the music is absolutly gorgeous, had pretty good characterization, and the combination of battle quirks, item creation and overworld platforming elements made it pretty fun! (save for some slight control elements)

I'm just...torn.  So, I come to you, my trusty, fellow Ninty fans.

Any words of wisdom for a lost soul?

A friend of mine says Tales of Legendia is pretty much garbage after playing Tales of Symphonia...Perhaps I'll ask more details from him when I find time...

I've heard that Legendia is the worst Tales game of this generation. Hold out for Tales of the Abyss, which is made by the Symphonia team, and is supposedly really really good.

Yeah...that was the other thing I didn't like about TOL...lack of cel shading.

It just looked...wrong without it.

Tales of the Abyss doesn't have cel-shading either.  Hello PS2 family of stagnant Jpn RPG graphics.

Is it all that good? Most of the reviews pegged it pretty short like...

But, I did rather enjoy Grandia II on the DC.
