Tales of Rebirth, PS2 (Tales Retrospective)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 жов 2021
- In this series we take a deep dive into each entry in the Tales series.
Today we look at arguably the most elusive of the 3 unlocalized main series Tales games, Tales of Rebirth. With Destiny 2 well received, Team Destiny would attempt to capitalized on their success to produce another 2D Tales game for the PS2. However, this time they would twist up the usual 2D formular to create a game unlike any other in the series. Can Team Destiny keep the 2D formular relevant in the face of Tales of Symphonia?

Ive been waiting this for decades xD
I love how in-depth this retrospective goes with some background information regarding the different games, especially the ones that were not released in the West. Love it^^
Man rebirth looks so fun I hope we get the patch soon.
I really dont know What else to say, just thank you for giving the series love and attention on the more obscure entries as always
This game has always intrigued me, I remember seeing it back in the day around the release of Symphonia, and thought it would get a release here but it never did. It's probably the game I most want to get an English re-release or fan translation.
Really good video.
I recomend trying the translation guide method if you can. I can set you up with the PDFs I used to play the game. There is a fan translation in the works however I do not know how far off it is from completion.
@@xenosanctum2531 ayo send pdfs?

Hey guys, I've got some bad news. Arise really burt me out and as much as I liked Rebirth I'm gonna put the Tales seires on the back burrner for a bit until I am ready to contiue. Survise to say the Tales of Legendia Retrospective will likly be a while away (I know I lied in the video) as I want to do some non-tales videos on the channal.
Agarte's part giraffe. Seriously look at that NECK.
great video sir.
Heh was waiting for this.
For the full story, there is a playlist with akl cutscenes and skits translated done by Lanyn here on UA-cam. It's how learned of Rebirth's characters and story, it is really great. Until a fan translation happens though it sounds like projects for patches have gone full swing recently, so that's good
I remember watching those as they came out. I was obsessed with this series and really intrigued about the plot.
I imagine if i could have played this game normally this would be around the top of my favourite games of all time
Here’s hoping for an official English remake or remaster one of these days.
intriguing battle system.
With regards to the upcoming Legendia restospective.
Well, I like Legendia a lot. It has its problems, like bad dungeon design and lazy boss tuning, but the story and environment visuals are fantastic. And the music is top notch.
music is mid tbh
@@GiordanDiodato Well, for you it's mid. For others of others, it's top notch.
Legendia has a very good soundtrack and story. It also has simple customisation elements with cooking and the weapons / armour and how skills are learned (vs convoluted systems cough zestiria/berseria +99 G Union, skill sheet, fusion nonsense)
Also has some of the best character development, especially during the second half of the game. My favorite cast in the series honestly.
3 line battle system, improvements to cooking; to Tp( instead we get the force cube).
it honestly reminds me of Guardian Heroes. I wonder if the devs were fans of that game.
Can you do a full plot deep dive pls
The ps2 version doesn't have arena battles iirc, and also no cameo battle in all version of this game.
Never played this one but it has possibly one of the most beautiful opening songs imo and the clip you played of the song to demonstrate her "bad" vocals seemed like a bad take to me since she sounds great.
However the gameplay reminds me of Legendia (just with a lot more tools) or the Phantasia / Destiny games which I find rather bland. I did enjoy Legendia though but not really for its combat
I will never play it unless it gets an english release though
Shame this was Japan-exclusive, it looks great. Nice artstyle, interesting battle system, using abilities outside of battle... I'd play that.
Bamco, come on. What's the hold-up!
Fan Translation has been anouced byLife Bottle Productions (the same team that brought you the Tales of Destiny DC translation).
@@xenosanctum2531 Well, apparently there was a survey after Tales of Arise, asking rather interesting questions.
"Which of the following games would you like to play a remaster version of?", which had both Xillias, Phantasia, Abyss and Radiant Mythology.
I have both Xillias off of Ebay, and watched Let's Plays of them before deciding I liked them so much I wanted to get them. I'm currently watching an LP of Abybss. Haven't seen or played Phantasia or RM, maybe in the future.
I also have Eternia, my first ever Tales game, and finished it multiple times over the years. Then I also have Legendia, which despite the lazy boss tuning and linear dungeon design I enjoyed a lot.
Seen an LP of Destiny 1... It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't want to play it. Way, way too maze-y for me. Maybe I'd like DC version more, who knows. Haven't bothered to check.
But I digress. There was a second question on the survey. "Which of the following Tales of games would you be interested in seeing released in Europe?", which had Rebirth, Destiny 1 and Destiny 2.
Now THAT is interesting. Who knows, maybe there is a chance to see Rebirth. I really liked what I saw in the retrospect, and I'd definitely play this.
@@MrSardoc1 If they did do a Rebrith remake, I would want them to keep the 2D sprites and 3L-LMBS. Miss me with that Hearts R style of turning a celbration of 2D tales into the worst Symphonia combat system in the series. If they remade Rebrith with Airses combat, man I would be really pissed
@@xenosanctum2531 I don't feel too strongly one way or the other about 2D sprites. I'd be fine either with sprites or with fully rendered characters.
But I agree the battle system would need to remain as it was.
I'm also hoping for a Legendia remake one day, and would like the battle system to remain 2D (with modifications - make the spellcasters less sucky, and the fighters less OP).
I want this localized so bad
