Thoroughly enjoy your content, specifically the in depth reviews. Tales of Destiny (PS2) has been on my mind for many years. When I learned the English patch released, I didn’t hesitate to get everything set up to play it, and man was it worth the wait. I agree with everyone of your points, especially on gameplay. Imo, by far the best the series has ever produced. Story was decent, and characters were really good. Clocked in at about 55-60 hours while taking my time. Music was really good too.
great review bro 😊
This is my favorite game in the series
Vesperia has aerial combat that is very very good (when playing as Judith)
They really did right for Leon.
Unlike the ps1 version here we could feel his sadness about the things he did.
Nice vid. Could've added some script comparisons to the original if you have played it (the opening sequence is slightly different for one). I also didn't find optional bosses, but there is a postgame dungeon at least. Didn't touch that content yet bc based on some alleged leaks, this was supposed to get an official release announcement. It is sad that Namco at the time didn't trust the western market potential, thanks to og Tales of Destiny getting OK reviews at best (lots of 6,7, even 5/10s) at the time in gaming mediums and it didn't help that it got released after the FF7 3d jrpg craze due to localization delay. And thanks to Namco's dicy financial situation before the merger, they trusted the reviews and didn't take a risk localizing the excellent 2D based Team Destiny made games for the western public.
But hey, Lumina Tales' Destiny 2 translation is out soon, hopefully!
Played them all and just found out about this remake, and of my favorite in the series! It's amazing and looks beautiful upscaled on my phone.
Oh wow, this game works on phones? I wanna play this so bad but a. So awful at emulation. Can you direct me somewhere to help me??
I started playing the DC without having seen anything of the original PS1 one. The graphics are HEAVILY redone. The original looks a lot like Phantasia.
How do i play this game? Like how can i get/buy or download it? Ty
Its a great game...for the first 3/4ths of the game. The difficulty ramps up immediately and also the puzzles in dungeons become stupidly hard without a walkthrough. I was Loving this game so much up until then and before that I was thinking, is this the best tales of? Great review!
Once the battle fireworks happen shits getting hype.
im really torn about playing this or the original, the sprite backgrounds look sooo much better than the 3d backgrounds of the directors cut
It looks amazing upscaled on my phone, I'd take the ps2 version. Though the ps1 version was a childhood favorite and is still amazing.
Sprites ftw, definitely, but Remake had better character sprites. I'd like to have seen upscaled backgrounds similar to Tales of Eternia. Best looking backgrounds of any tales game, imo
I know I'm late lol, but do you mind sharing what song did you use at 8:14 ?
there's not a specific name, but I got it from the 'Dragon Drive OST" which is a video that you can find on youtube.
I have the remake and am stuck trying to get through the Aerial place Dycroft.
The CC system is amazing, not Graces or Graces F levels of astoundingly amazing but a VERY CLOSE second, since in those games, you can E-urst giving an unlimited amout of actions for a NOT FIXED AMOUNT OF TIME! In short, both these systems have balance, more Destiny 2 PS2 to be honest, while Graces have more the agressive system since it is much more riskVSreward input... but you can change the difficulty settings ANYTIME so it gets balance either way
The remakes were amazing! Got my hard copies still.
@BandaiNamco what will it take for you to release the rest of the Namco Tales games worldwide. You should look at your competitor Square-Enix. They have localized every Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest game. What will it take to remaster and or translate the games we never got.
Square Enix took 16 years to localize all the Final Fantasy games and they still haven't done Dragon Quest X. Also I think the reason why Namco Bandai hasn't localized so many of their games...if fan translation teams have so little interest in the series would we in the west be that interested in them officially? We got a fan translation of Namco X Capcom the year after it came out in Japan. While it took 20 years for someone to start Rebirth and Destiny 2 fan translations.
BUT IT NEVER left Japan so the game still NEED a PS4 PS5 Switch port IN English for me fan translations do NOT count as English versions and you can't even USE those for the actual PS2 import discs to BEGIN with.
