Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the Abyss have the most epic and recognizeable Intros and Musicscores out of the Tales bunch. But Tales of Innocence has a pretty good Intro too! :)
Both Tales of Rebirth and its opening are incredibly underrated. ToR is one of my favorites, if not my favorite, and the opening theme is one of the best, in my opinion.
Goddamn it. I need to buy playstation 3 in order to play Tales of Vesperia. To wait for the damn emulator means I need to wait for 7-8 years and I can't wait that long. Guess I'll just save some money to buy it.
Recently it was announced that they will come out with a Tales of Xillia 2 later this year in japan, its upsetting that most of these games arent coming over seas
If we are talking about our favourite openings and games, I have to say that Abyss beats every one I have ever played. I'd like to play Vesperia so much, it has so strong fanbase and it has one of my favourite openings in Tales of games. Innocent has also a good opening, i love that song so damn much!
dude the tales series is (in my opinion) the only other RPG franchise that can go toe to toe with final fantasy (before they started producing shit). thus far, vesperia, graces, and most likly xillia as well, all blow the later FF games clean out the freaking water. great story, replay value, music, gameplay are all constants in tales. tales is basicly unrecognized when it deserves to be at LEAST nominated for awards. but it's lack of recognition can be a good thing in a way i guess.
Haha, wish I had that luxury. If you like Tales games in the UK, and you see one in a store. You buy it there and then, you'll never see it again. They're like gold dust! lol
My top fav Tales game? Tie between Abyss, Xillia and Zestiria. I can't believe I'm saying these three, but really these are the one that were the most fun to play! :'D (For Zestiria, it just looks so perfect, I have too much HYPE for it lol It be much HighFantasy setting yeshhh) Symphonia and Graces were very fricking awesome too, but not the best imo :'3 I'd love to play Vesperia too!! Please Namco, ps3 realese in the west?!!
i noticed something... whenever the art is by Kosuke Fujishima(luv dat man) the game is more remembered than other tales game, Fujishima has done art for... Phantasia,Symphonia,Abyss,Vesperia,Tempest,Hearts,Graces,Xillia.
Tales of Vesperia and Symphonia are my favorite by far, great characters and story for both. I'm sort of neutral on Abyss. And for Graces f, I don't like the characters and story as much but I really like the battle mechanic. (These are only the ones I played)
@Daerandil I KNOW lots of people don't like it. But Namco also can't spend all their time and budget on sequels when they have new games coming out. The problem was likely that they went too deep with their planning without remembering their budget amount. Assuming they took that into account from the start, it probably would've been better. No, it's not the best game ever, but it's still fairly good. The issue is that people expected way too much of it.
I feel that part 2 has most of the greatest tales games ever made. Abyss, Vesperia, Innocence, etc... (Please notice I said most. after all I like all of them I played so far.......Tempest....Haven't played)...
of all the openings abyess, symphonia, vesparia, graces and xillia are the top songs with vesperia being the one i respect the most since they didn't butcher it in the english version.
lol i didn't even hear the english version yet. just did. and it's great:P but i still stand by vesperia being my fav:D (i think it has more to do with the style of music)
My friend and I have a joke about Yuri being a bad boy "politician killer". X3 Why did Vesperia have to be on xbox 360, whyyyyyy!!! I wanna play it. T3T Heck I wanna play all of them, darn you japan for withholding these games! And darn you american dubbers for cutting out the awesome japanese theme music!! They must be tone deaf, it's the only explanation for not keeping these amazing songs!! Tales ftw!! (mostly Symphonia) =D
If you see the anime, he doesnt die, Lorelei rescues his soul, and put it in Ash body, since he was more or less brain ded , but it tooks 2 year for lorelei to make this happen.
I'm one of those few who prefers Legendia and Eternia over Symphonia. Legendia's OP here is kinda out of sync but it's my #1 fave OP then Abyss. I'm so happy Do As Infinity sang Legendia's song~
I bought Legendia, put it in my little brothers ps3 only to find out PS3 CAN PLAY PS1 GAMES BUT NOT PS2 GAMES, but I still kept the game incase I buy a PS2 in the future. That is how much I love the series
Tales of Rebirth: I kept my expectations low on this ever coming out, and I was right FU Namco Tales of Legendia: Didn't expect this to be released either, but it did, and I was finally happy! My faith was restored!, Beaten. Tales of the Abyss: Another one?! I was happy as well with this when it came out. Tales of Innocence: expected this but I didn't, held my hate Tales of Vesperia: Had a bit of an issue with it being released on XBOX 360, since XBOX 360 is a horrible choice for a console
I know they said they would condier bringing Hearts R if PS Vita sales picked up in America.As it stands right now the Vita's situation (or all handhelds for a matter of fact) is the same, plenty of games, not enough VItas sold.
everyone seems to hate legendia(though a some like it) i find it a good series, story wise mostly(the gameplay wasnt the best), the characters were unique, the new side quests that built relations with specific people were good and senel was the first and only main who didnt use a sword, that was pretty bad ass for me
Wow. It's really sad that everyone who bashes Legendia lacks any kind of backup as to why it's "not good", when I can throw out every last reason the game is amazing. People just don't like giving it a chance, I swear.
I wish we had more of these in Europe, I love Tales of and it'd be awesome to play all of them!
Abyss and Vesperia
tales of the abyss is still king...
snow fiera True \mm/
The openings seem to have gotten better and better over time.
Not just video quality, but also the songs.
Amazing! The Abyss, and Tales of Vesperia intros are nothing short of amazing!
Kokia seriously needs to sing more Tales openings
I would love the Innocence opening if it kept the same pace like from the start and ending throughout the middle part too
I'm not saying it's the best, but when Abyss comes on...you can't stop yourself from getting excited. That song was well-done!
It's impossible to me to say how much I love the "Tales of" series
Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the Abyss have the most epic and recognizeable Intros and Musicscores out of the Tales bunch. But Tales of Innocence has a pretty good Intro too! :)
I had been listening to "Karma" song of Tale of the abyss over and over the moment I reached 3:47 hahaha. Too good
tales of the abyss FTW!!!
Me too I prefer Tales of the abyss op !
Probité Have you heard the new opening of Tales of Zestiria?
Yes but is is my second favorite op. ^^ (and I'll watch OAV)
Probité Good to hear that man :D
the intro of tales of abyss needs the guitar solo of tales of abyss 3ds to be even more epic i manage to combine it and it's awesome
They're all awesome in their own ways, people. Stop comparing and just appreciate.
Both Tales of Rebirth and its opening are incredibly underrated. ToR is one of my favorites, if not my favorite, and the opening theme is one of the best, in my opinion.
Them Japan exclusive Tales game :'(
I remember hearing the shit out of Karma back when i was hyper-hooked with Abyss. I'm pretty sure i heard the song 2 months non-stop on my ipod xD
So much good memories ^.^ times goes so fast
Goddamn it. I need to buy playstation 3 in order to play Tales of Vesperia. To wait for the damn emulator means I need to wait for 7-8 years and I can't wait that long. Guess I'll just save some money to buy it.
The Tales of Innocence opening gave me a O.O!!! feeling..
Xillia is gonna hit big. It's the best selling tales of game so far. The fan base for it is really big.
the tales of innocence sounds like the singer who did the opening for the anime movie Origin Spirits of the Past
Recently it was announced that they will come out with a Tales of Xillia 2 later this year in japan, its upsetting that most of these games arent coming over seas
Guy is still my fav char out of every single Tales game
OMG I love Innocence's OP so much :)
KOKIA sang in Tales of Innocence!? Amazing!
i know that now cuz i have that song song stuck in my head for quite some time now
If we are talking about our favourite openings and games, I have to say that Abyss beats every one I have ever played. I'd like to play Vesperia so much, it has so strong fanbase and it has one of my favourite openings in Tales of games.
Innocent has also a good opening, i love that song so damn much!
Abyss, Graces, Symphonia, Vesperia, and Legendia are my favorite in that order. :)
dude the tales series is (in my opinion) the only other RPG franchise that can go toe to toe with final fantasy (before they started producing shit). thus far, vesperia, graces, and most likly xillia as well, all blow the later FF games clean out the freaking water. great story, replay value, music, gameplay are all constants in tales.
tales is basicly unrecognized when it deserves to be at LEAST nominated for awards. but it's lack of recognition can be a good thing in a way i guess.
Remember those two games never made it out of japan so in a sence, it will be new to almost everybody outside japan.I'm just say in give it a chance.
Haha, wish I had that luxury. If you like Tales games in the UK, and you see one in a store. You buy it there and then, you'll never see it again. They're like gold dust! lol
I've heard the Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Vesperia theme songs SO much that I know the lyrics ;w;
uhhhh Tales of the Abyss
My top fav Tales game? Tie between Abyss, Xillia and Zestiria.
I can't believe I'm saying these three, but really these are the one that were the most fun to play! :'D (For Zestiria, it just looks so perfect, I have too much HYPE for it lol It be much HighFantasy setting yeshhh)
Symphonia and Graces were very fricking awesome too, but not the best imo :'3 I'd love to play Vesperia too!! Please Namco, ps3 realese in the west?!!
Love all Tales
I could have sworn I saw that Tales of Abyss opening in FMA Movie 5: The Star of Milos...
i noticed something... whenever the art is by Kosuke Fujishima(luv dat man) the game is more remembered than other tales game, Fujishima has done art for... Phantasia,Symphonia,Abyss,Vesperia,Tempest,Hearts,Graces,Xillia.
Vesperia was my first in the series... and that was the reason
other than that, i really enjoyed the other games too.....so much i could say but i think u all covered it for me pretty much
i haven't played them all but tales of the abyss was an epic storyline, wish i got the chance to play symphonia bah
Yeah, even if I loved Abyss the most (everything-wise), Legendia's opening still ruled for me :)
Tales of Vesperia and Symphonia are my favorite by far, great characters and story for both. I'm sort of neutral on Abyss. And for Graces f, I don't like the characters and story as much but I really like the battle mechanic. (These are only the ones I played)
I like Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology series, crossovers :D
Hoping to play other Tales games, and wishing to make Eng versions
@Daerandil I KNOW lots of people don't like it. But Namco also can't spend all their time and budget on sequels when they have new games coming out. The problem was likely that they went too deep with their planning without remembering their budget amount. Assuming they took that into account from the start, it probably would've been better. No, it's not the best game ever, but it's still fairly good. The issue is that people expected way too much of it.
I feel that part 2 has most of the greatest tales games ever made. Abyss, Vesperia, Innocence, etc... (Please notice I said most. after all I like all of them I played so far.......Tempest....Haven't played)...
All the op are great !
dont forget xillia imho i think xillia is the current pinnacle of the combat system. its so fun
Tales of the Abyss's Karma! And Tales of Vesperia's Ring a Bell! Both coolio and awesome.
The playable dog is what sold me at Vesperia :P
I personally loved the English version of White Wishes (Graces/Graces f opening)
Ahahaha, I would have laughed if Veigue randomly went 'CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIREEE!' like he does in Viva! Tales of.
I say Tales are good games, usually, but Abyss, Vesperia and Symphonia are exquisite.
Friggin' love Mao in the Rebirth opening.
I love tales of
i can't decide which one is better between the abyss or vesperia opening they r both awesome
I liked legendia it was the first tales game i played and it got me hooked
If they did release Vesperia on 3ds I would get it in a heartbeat! Btw, yes indeed, Symphonia and Abyss ftw!! (high fives) =D
Rebirth, Legendia, ABYSS, Innocence, Vesperia WTF FTW!
I remember i skipped a school for about 3 days...because i played Tales Of Legendia.. my first Tales game..
0:12 Kureaaaaaaaa!!!
Sorry, but honestly, I wish Rebirth would have been officially translated, if only for the hilarity of that Tales meme XD
Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia, Graces F and Phantasia. That is all.
It's a matter of preferences, bro... you don't have to feel bad about it. :D
of all the openings abyess, symphonia, vesparia, graces and xillia are the top songs with vesperia being the one i respect the most since they didn't butcher it in the english version.
its my first time hearing Legendia's japanese opening. I wish they would have just kept it in the NA release, same with Abyss's OP!
lol i didn't even hear the english version yet. just did. and it's great:P but i still stand by vesperia being my fav:D (i think it has more to do with the style of music)
My friend and I have a joke about Yuri being a bad boy "politician killer". X3 Why did Vesperia have to be on xbox 360, whyyyyyy!!! I wanna play it. T3T Heck I wanna play all of them, darn you japan for withholding these games! And darn you american dubbers for cutting out the awesome japanese theme music!! They must be tone deaf, it's the only explanation for not keeping these amazing songs!! Tales ftw!! (mostly Symphonia) =D
When Luke died I shed a tears...damn luke..whyy...whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
If you see the anime, he doesnt die, Lorelei rescues his soul, and put it in Ash body, since he was more or less brain ded , but it tooks 2 year for lorelei to make this happen.
yeah..we all Tales Series fanboy know that :) ...but still the best and the most sad ending for me at least :)
*****
I don't think they wanted to leave you off on a cliffhanger LIKE A CERTAIN GAME! Screw you notch!
I'm one of those few who prefers Legendia and Eternia over Symphonia. Legendia's OP here is kinda out of sync but it's my #1 fave OP then Abyss. I'm so happy Do As Infinity sang Legendia's song~
@404TheKurapika that would be willy which would be the name that norma beaty gives to him or his actual name is weasly
I hope Vesperia gets re-released for the PS3 and Tales of Hearts gets released in the US.
and eternia, but theres still a few good games left where they should make one
Graces ƒ and Xillia have also voiced skits...
simple:
differnt people differnt tastes, i
On this video i found Tales Of Vesparia the best theme. (Legendia too).
I bought Legendia, put it in my little brothers ps3 only to find out PS3 CAN PLAY PS1 GAMES BUT NOT PS2 GAMES, but I still kept the game incase I buy a PS2 in the future. That is how much I love the series
Abyss op sounds more "energic" than the others, :P
vesperia just has a prequel film, a real anime of the game would be awesome though :D
Legendia had a kickass final boss theme at least.
Tales of the Abyss for life.
Tales of Rebirth: I kept my expectations low on this ever coming out, and I was right FU Namco
Tales of Legendia: Didn't expect this to be released either, but it did, and I was finally happy! My faith was restored!, Beaten.
Tales of the Abyss: Another one?! I was happy as well with this when it came out.
Tales of Innocence: expected this but I didn't, held my hate
Tales of Vesperia: Had a bit of an issue with it being released on XBOX 360, since XBOX 360 is a horrible choice for a console
I know they said they would condier bringing Hearts R if PS Vita sales picked up in America.As it stands right now the Vita's situation (or all handhelds for a matter of fact) is the same, plenty of games, not enough VItas sold.
Abyss wins.... but Vesperia had fully voiced skits.
SKITS > OPENING. And I really adore 'Karma' might I add. lol
So I recognize Bump of Chicken immediately and I swear the next one (6:20) has to be Kokia...it HAS to be.
the one on the ps2 does not have lyrics as well, if you get the english version anyways
@Rankaz41 agree i enjoy symphonia too! :)
Versus XIII better be a worldwide release
i WALK A THOUSAND MILES TO CHANGE THE WORLD, i did not hear that once. oh well.
No Xillia's openings? The two are the best openings. As well, Xillia is now my best Tales game.
everyone seems to hate legendia(though a some like it) i find it a good series, story wise mostly(the gameplay wasnt the best), the characters were unique, the new side quests that built relations with specific people were good and senel was the first and only main who didnt use a sword, that was pretty bad ass for me
Every game after Vesperia had voiced skits i think.
i have to agree tales of abyss trumps all but tales of vesperia (the english version)is prety good too:)
Tales of the Abyss!!! Jade is my husband and Tear is my wife :3 Love them to death
Wow. It's really sad that everyone who bashes Legendia lacks any kind of backup as to why it's "not good", when I can throw out every last reason the game is amazing. People just don't like giving it a chance, I swear.
for me the three best tales games were tales of symphonia,abyss and graces but that's just my opinion
Vesperia and Abyss are the best Tales of!!! Specialy Vesperia
He said "The 'Dark History' Tales of Tempest got skipped. lol"
nice higher resolution for tales of innocence. my ds screen's so small
Battle System wise, my favorite is Tales of Rebirth.
it'd be nice if Namco would bring Tales of Rebirth,Innocence,Hearts,Destiny 2 to the US
