xenosaga really doesn't have that much fmv so there really wouldn't be much to compress with divx...

the scores are real but they are from the gamecube publications of those magazines, not the real famitsu
but that does not mean they are biased by any means- most of the time, the scores are exact matches between the 2 magazines

i sure hope so, we need an rpg, we need one to rub in peoples faces

From IGN:
---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------
Dengeki scored Tales of Symphonia 9, 10, 9 and 10, just two points show of a perfect rating. The magazine's writers wrote that for fans of the Tales series, Symphonia is so good that it's worth picking up a GameCube just to have it. The reviewers noted that they overall liked the story in the game and were especially fond of the character development. They also stated that the title is highly polished and that it's exactly the way an RPG should be.

HOLY I AM SO HYPED FOR THIS GAME MORE THAN EVER NOW!!!! As a Tales RPG fanatic, I loved the line, "for fans of the Tales series, Symphonia is so good that it's worth picking up a GameCube just to have it." I think I'll get the Japanese version when it releases.

I've never played a tales game, so I don't know what to expect. I heard the battle system was the greatest of all RPGS! Wow, I mean, I've played alot of RPGS, and some I can't even read what there saying most of the time. To have the best of all is some honor in my standards, and probably all RPG fanatics (Gup

). Anyways I'm hyped about this game too, when does it come to the states and are there any other RPGS we should know about?

38/40 is just breathtakingly amazing. Thats almost the quality of Zelda. Im so gonna get the game, whens the US release?

rpglover · « **Reply #56 on:** August 20, 2003, 05:51:59 AM »

this game looks great so far- and the scores it is getting are amazing- i think the us release date is for next year
probably around spring 2004- march-april times i would say- i dont think any web sites have an official release date yet
i cant wait for this game to come out over here- it looks fantastic and should prove to be the rpg we have been craving for

YoungLink · « **Reply #57 on:** August 20, 2003, 08:02:27 AM »

I think its April 1 to be exact. I wish sooner.

Berny · « **Reply #58 on:** August 20, 2003, 08:15:42 AM »

April 1st? Oh, well. At least I'll have time to make up for the money on FF:CC by then. Even thought I want this game like 40 times more than FF. On the scale of Must Havedness, this game is a billion. Plus the price of the game. Multiplied by ten times the tax rate. Then stick a three on the end for good luck. You do the math.

Well, I will be sure to have some vacation time saved up by then.

Just showed the trailer to two friends. Both liked it, but neither has a Cube or plans to buy a console...

YoungLink · « **Reply #62 on:** August 21, 2003, 01:30:11 PM »

good thing the cube is going down to 99 DOLLA

KDR_11k · « **Reply #63 on:** August 21, 2003, 09:03:59 PM »

Probably not in Europe. It's still EUR199 (~USD240) here.

Antipation rises more as the two leading gaming mags in Japan give this game a great score!

Gup · « **Reply #65 on:** August 22, 2003, 10:22:52 AM »

Just to let you know Bill, Famitsu Cube gave the game 37/40, but the main Famitsu gave it 38/40. Just trying to raise your anticipation to even greater heights. My anticipation is at the point where I'll likely import this baby if it can work properly with that Freeloader thing.

"but the main Famitsu gave it 38/40."

mother of jesus that is a high score

CHEN · « **Reply #67 on:** August 22, 2003, 12:03:19 PM »

Huh? really? Wow, I thought the main Famitsu always gives lower scores than it's sister mags.

Aw well, this is even better. Can someone say greatest RPG since FFVII?

"Can someone say greatest RPG since FFVII?"

personally i think there were many better rpgs to come after ff7- i could list them but i dont think so- i think tales will out do a lot of great rpgs- the reviews so far are excellent, and the game just seems great- i cant wait for this game to come out in the us- even the dengeki reviewers said that this was how an rpg was supposed to feel like- this game is offering a lot of great things in one package- good story, great anime cut scenes, good looking graphics, and of course a great battle system- i love the tales battle system- it is one of my favorite rpg battle systems

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #72 on:** August 22, 2003, 01:15:14 PM »

Thanks for the heads-up

The correct scores are now in my sig.

I personally think the story is more important than the gameplay in an RPG, and that's the reason I loved Golden Sun even though the gameplay mechanics weren't the greatest. My bet is on this game having the best story in an RPG to date.

YoungLink · « **Reply #73 on:** August 22, 2003, 03:23:03 PM »

i need this now!!!!
how come its gonna take so long to come to the us?

anyways lets just hope its as good as famitsu says it is

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #74 on:** August 22, 2003, 03:43:58 PM »

It takes a long time to translate all the Japanese text.

I hope to God they don't take out "Starry Heavens," the J-pop opening theme for the U.S. version. The song is really catchy.
