All about the "Tales of..." series

[Antimind]

Actually I do have Summoner's Lineage as well as ToE Online. The Destiny remakes are low priority for me as they're common. Right now I'm more worried about rare merch. That list is just a bit of what's in my collection - not my full list. I'll be picking up ToH as soon as it's out. I'm not holding my breath to wait for a NA release that'll probably never come.

Soma Bringer is a hell of a lotta fun. Pick it up if you can. No point in waiting for releases that may never happen. Miss out on too many great games that way.

@Antimind: Do you play and collect stuff from other RPG series aswell or do you limit yourself to the Tales series only?

[Antimind]

Sirgin - I do play and collect for other RPGs as well. The Tales series is my favorite. I'm also a huge fan of the Dragon Slayer/Legend of Heroes series and Dragon Quest (of course!). There are pretty much only two series I dislike and stay away from: Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star. Sorry but they're way overrated.

[Sirgin]

Thanks for the answer. Don't have a game of the Dragon Slayer series, I'll look into it Dragon Quest is great indeed

[Antimind]

Sirgin - Dragon Slayer is a TG-16 title. Three of the games in the series were released for PSP under the Legend of Heroes name. Note that the PSP titles were released in a random order...lol Read the wiki to see what I'm talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Heroes

Each is a good game in it's own right. If you're a fan of the SNES era turn-based RPGs you should enjoy the DS/LoH games. They start out slow but they're good.

A few other RPGs that are pretty good and underrated are Astonishia Story and Eternal Sonata. Tales series fans should enjoy Eternal Sonata Baten Kaitos and the prequel (Gamecube) are also good games. Ys series too!

I was just randomly thinking about the craziest Tales translation blunder ever.

How could they mess up and get 'ragnarok' as 'kangaroo'?!

[Antimind]

Perhaps they were on something? I've known translators to intake waaayy too much Red Bull/alchohol/drug of choice while pulling all-nighters...

Personally I think the worst Tales translation blunder is the DeJap ToP translation as a whole...lmfao ...Whoever did the English version didn't bother to properly translate the "useless chatter" and inserted colorful remarks instead. I dunno if they fixed it up since the version I used. It was years back. It was funny and sad at the same time.

I wonder why people would take the time to do that...a translation where parts are purposly changed doesn't help anyone, so you might aswell write nothing at all.

Should the Guilty Gear, King of Fighters, and Street Fighter series use 3d arenas?

Doesn't that have a 3D version on the PS2?

Lol, yeah. But they went right back to 2d.

Oh wow, hey Laharl. I don't think I've ever talked to you but I loved your reviews. Never really see you post anymore.

[Antimind]

LOL... it's Laurel Thanks for the props dude. I don't post much anymore because I'm just too busy. I've got too much going on between life, games, chatting with "real world" friends, and projects. Right now I'm heavy into checking out DS homebrew and making EDGE/CylcoDS skins.

Speaking of projects I have a Tales site that I've been neglecting. It's a Tales merch database:

I have TONS of stuff to add to the site and tons of photos to add too. Checklists that need updated, all that jazz. I'm putting too much time into expanding my collection and no time into the site

If someone has a screenshot of the kangaroo error, please post it.

It'd be great to see, if only for those who haven't encountered it yet.

Lol, I was thinking of Disgaea when I made that post. Sorry about that one lol. And that's awesome. I remember you had that Symphonia website back in the day. Is that new one and expanded version of the old one?

[Antimind]

Yes it is! I had quite a few requests from people on the Tales boards to bring back my old site. I worked hardcore on rebuilding it before I got burned out. Soooo many people submitted things - and I got so much new stuff...  I have another webspace account where I'll be adding nothing but doujinshi :x People asked to catalog it so I'll try. But there's just so much! The checklists I started because I need them to keep track of my stuff...lol I could put more out but first I need to get Office back on my pc. I store all my info in Access databases.
