Tales of Phantasia is a Japanese-style role-playing game with an unusual combat system: the battles are action-based and are fought on separate side-scrolling screens. what connection could there be? Cless decides to visit his uncle who lives in another town, but he doesn't realize his journey will take him to much more remote places than that. Before Cless' mother died in his arms, she told him this terrible massacre had something to do with the pendant she and her husband gave Cless for his birthday. They returned to the village and found it burnt down, and all its inhabitants murdered. But as soon as it stopped speaking, the two friends heard the sound of an alarm. Chasing a wild boar, Cless discovered a strange talking tree in the forest who was pleading him for help. It was a day like all the others when Cless decided to go hunting with his best friend Chester. So even though I played it in my 30's, it gave me some nostalgic fuzzies for an era since passed.įor my part, it was a game that really embraced a fun, 90's shonen anime aesthetic from a time when I still really enjoyed that medium.In Tales of Phantasia the player controls a young boy named Cless, who lives together with his parents in a quiet village. It also looked great in its original SFC incarnation and had digitized voices.įor my part, it was a game that really embraced a fun, 90's shonen anime aesthetic from a time when I still really enjoyed that medium.
I think the reason it's been held in such high regard is that it was the first of something that went on to relative greatness set a standard and expectations (see also: my avatar). This was very disappointing since, as you may be aware, skits are a great way to learn more about the party and see how they interact with each other. One thing I didn't care for, however, is that there are no subtitles for the skits and the audio fidelity is low quality so it has hard for me to hear them. The real charm in the game is the world and characters. I'm not one to get too mechanically involved into my RPGs, but I remember reading the combat system had been brought to be more in line with Destiny and I found it fairly enjoyable. (I also have the PSP Narikiri Dungeon version as well, but I hated the battle graphics.) I played the PS 1 for the first time a few years back and really enjoyed it.
