Ramblings of a Crowe: Comment on Tales of Legendia

Comments: Tales of Legendia

:Sigh: I guess this means that it is not a very smart buy after TOS huh? And here I was hoping for another fun Namco RPG. I guess I'll just have to keep holding out until KH II next month.
Oh well, I guess I'll just go ahead and finish Xenosaga II. That should take a few, seeing as how I'm just now barely past the first disc. :D

Go buy Grandia 3. I just started playing it and it's amazing. Only three hours into the game and I'm hooked. That's Square for you though... :P

I second Grandia 3 with burning vigor. Go forth and PURCHASE!

Yup! Yup! It is worth the money and then some! It's been a long time since a game hooked me the way this one has. I LOVE it!

(is now 15 hours into the game)

All I can say is be thankful you didn't post this on gamefaqs or i guarentee a flaming war.
Personally I really liked ToL and and currently almost done beating the game (including character quests, the real ending) and it's beeen pretty fun. The only faults i could find were the stupid cuts done during the second half of the game (character quests).
I know your entitled to an opinion but I'd at least play the character quests. It's more interesting and you don't Senel going on about Shirley and the character development takes a spike upward.
That's my two cents at least

Which is why I don't ever visit gamefaqs...too many idiots who don't realize the world doesn't revolve around their opinion.

Glad you liked the game. I still prefer Tales of Symphonia to this nightmare. I'm very sad I couldn't enjoy it more. Maybe next time they'll hit a winner like they did with TOS. :(

They already have, Tales of the Abyss (favorite of the series might I add). Hopefully they'll bring it over since it puts ToS to shame :)
PS: I agree, Gamefaqs is full of idiots.

Now that is news I didn't know! Thanks for the info. Hopefully I'll enjoy it more than this one! Do you have links for the series?

Has a really nice trailer for the game including anime scenes and a bit of the theme song "Karma".

Good for the basic info about characters.
Any other info is from EChang's guide and Tales of Namco forums.
Hope you enjoy.

Oooh, so pretty! It's times like this I wish I had a Japanese PS2...Probably a good thing I don't, or I'd never leave the house.

Thanks for the links! I'll keep my eye for this one!
