The "Tales of" Saga

ok I know that this one is not a very known Saga as Final Fantasy for example, but once you play one of the games you fell in love for it. This Saga is best points are:
- Anime cutscenes that gives more emotive moments to the story
- Excelent "life time action" gameplay, very easy to use and very dinamic
- RPGs with very good voice acting and incredible plot twist that will make you want to continue playing it to know "what will happen next"
- Excelent soundtracks, specially the battle themes, they really add more intensity to the game
- Looooooooooooooooooong stories, yeah generally almost over 40-50 hours of gameplay.
the only problem with this saga (at the begining) was that Namco (the developer) was scared if the reaction in america would be bad since there was a great giant in the RPGs ruling in america (Final Fantasy), besides that they had troubles with the fan when they bring Tales of Eternia to america but US change the name to Tales of Destiny 2 making it a joke, since Tales of Eternia and Tales of Destiny 2 are different games, but that changed when they brought Tales of Symphonia to America ^^.
Order of the games. (name of the game has the link to its respective intro )
- . For SNES and then remastered for GBA (JP and US). It has a 4 episodes OVA too since it got a lot of lovers in Japan, which can be downloaded at DarkSide-Raws I think .
- . For PS1 (JP only), it has been remastered recently for the PS2 and it will be out in Japan the 22th of November, hope they will bring it to America
- . Released for PS1 in US as Tales of Destiny 2, what a joke of mistake ¬¬, anyway it has a 13 episodes OVA, which DarkSide-Raws released some time ago too, also it was remastered for PSP in JP and US. Also this game was transformed into a on-line game, which I still trying to figure out how I can play it (JP instructions
)
- . Yeah this is the real one, released in JP for PS2 only. This one has relation with the first ToD (only time that a "Tales of" game has a sequel).
- . This is one of the best of the Saga. Released in JP for PS2 and GC and in US for GC (there are 2 versions of the opening though). A OVA is in the making for this game for 2007 in JP ^^.
- . Released in JP for PS2, don´t know to much of it though n.ñ
- . A great one of the Saga IMO, it was released in both JP and US for the PS2.
- . This one is fighting with Symphonia for the tittle of best game of the Saga. Released in JP and US for PS2. With the song Karma for opening :3
- . Another Version of this game, in which it seems you can make your own characters and its online, definitelly I will wait for this one to come out in America ^^
- . This is the new "Tales of" game for the DS, I think its already in JP, I hope they will bring it to America n.ñ
- . This game was released in Decmeber in Japan for the PSP, what makes this game interesting, well it has aprox 19 (don´t know yet the exact number) of Tales of Characters to choose to play, also you can customize your own character ^^
Well I hope I got your atention on this Saga. Since I payed Symphonia I became a fan of this series, I played Phantasia, Legendia and Abyss since then and I want to play all of them. If you are a fan of the saga feel free to post your favs, I want to talk about all the thing that I can with you guys about this saga ^^.
