Your Tales Collection

[Flamfas]

So, this thread is basically to talk about the games from the series you have and the ones that you want.

My collection:
(P,D,D:DC,E,D2,S,R,L,A,I,V,H,G,RM,S:KoR)
^That's my list with the "mothership" titles in chronological order and spinoffs stuck on the end.

Now, for the order I got them in:

-Symphonia(GCN). This was my entry into the series. I think I was about 10 or 11 when I got it. I had read about it in a Nintendo Power (which I adored at the time; I had all gameboys since the GBC except the micro, and I had the GameCube). I thought it was cool and I forgot about it for a while. Later, a couple months after it was released, I bought it. I was in love with it. Looking back, its not so great, but I think I do owe it a replay again sometime soon. It may not be perfect, but its still fun.

-Legendia. I remember this game was released in Feb '06, when I was just in 6th grade. Until this game, I was unaware that Tales was a series. I thought Symphonia was a stand alone game. I bought my first non-Nintendo console (a PS2) that summer with some of my graduation (from elementary school) money. I hesitated buying this right away since I heard it was quite different from Symphonia, but I eventually bought it that fall. October I think. I still to this day have yet to beat it. I'm on Jay's CQ, so I'm getting close. I didn't have much appreciation for the game at the time (I thought Symphonia had a perfect story. lololol.). Now, I pretty much love Legendia. About a month ago, I started picking it up again. I'm going to finish it. EDIT: Finished. AMAZING. Now, I just want a sequel that takes place on the mainland as well as the Legacy. Maybe involve Grune's Summon Spirits?

-Abyss. I got this about a month after Legendia for my birthday. This game is probably why I never got super far in Legendia; I beat this game instead. I really liked this game. In hindsight, its kind of broken, but it still has a place in my heart.

-Eternia(PSX). Ok. So after 3 entries, I realized I was pretty much in love with the series. I knew that I would need to start going after the older entries in the series. I started with this. In the spring of '07, I won this off eBay. Something like $62. This is an amazing game, and I actually beat this one. After a lot of hassles with finding a PSX memory card. I had to wait like 2 weeks after Eternia arrived to actually be able to have a memory card to play it with. This was torture for me. Its a shame the US never got the PSP port. I'm thinking of buying the EU PSP version at some point, just in case I want it some time in the future; its only going to get harder to find (just hope I don't get the Volt Glitch!).

-Phantasia(GBA). Yeah, so after Christmas '06 when I didn't get this, I went out and bought it myself. Sadly I kind of enjoyed it more than FFXII, which I did get. I think now that I probably would like FFXII, but it was a little too complicated for me back then, I think. I have actually beaten this game! It kinda sucked though. Please, remake for 15th (this year) or 20th anniversary, please.

-RadiantMythology. So. I kind of bought a PSP for this game. I mean, there were other PSP games I wanted, and I'm certainly glad I got one now (Jeanne D'Arc <3), but this was the game that made me decide to get one. This was my first spinoff. I believe this is the first Tales game I actually got on release day. I still have yet to beat this. I got to the 3rd area thing, and got kind of bored. Maybe some day... EDIT: I finally started a new playthrough on this, and finished. The premise was good, execution, not so much. It was decent. Probably won't be touching it again.

-Rebirth(PSP). My first import. I think it was mostly my obsession with Mao (from whom my username is derived) that really made me get this game. I bought it in Spring '08 a month or two after it was released in Japan. I certainly don't regret buying it. My favorite game in the series, definitely. eclisis deserves special thanks for making that happen (translation videos are awesome!!). EDIT: I have beaten Rebirth now. I realized I had turned the difficulty up extra high to level up, but I forgot to set it back to normal for Yuris. haha

-Vesperia(360). Ok. I really am bittersweet about the 360. When Vesperia was announced, I sort of panicked. I owned a Wii, but not a 360 or PS3. I didn't have any plans at the time to get either. I ended up convincing myself that I wanted a 360. On the brightside, I got Vesperia (Rita <3) (collector's edition, at that) and beat it. I never really used my 360 for much else though. I sold it for a PS3 last December. I'm very happy with my decision. Although I didn't embrace them at first, I really do love Sony. Microsoft, not so much. Well, in terms of gaming at least. I did keep my copy of Vesperia though. It was the collector's edition, so why not.

-Destiny:DC. I got this for Christmas '08 along with Swap Magic/Magic Swap. I was actually out of town for Christmas when I got this, so I had to wait a while to play it. Before I got home, I learned of AZ's and PP's collaboration for a Destiny translation patch. I figured I would wait for the menu patch. About a month later, when I realized that they would probably be focussing more on their Phantasia, Innocence, and Destiny 2 patches, I caved. This is the first import I've actually beaten. Its real good. I'm still eagerly awaiting that patch, btw. It'll be nice not to have to use the computer when I'm playing the game.

-Innocence. Got this for my birthday (Nov) '09. Didn't get too far, but AZ's patch is almost done, so I just have to get an R4 and wait for that! EDIT: Patch is out, wooo! So exciting, it's amazing. Still need to finish it though.

-Hearts. I got this for Christmas '09. alskdjglaksj. Amazing. Its so much like DestinyR, which was amazing. I'm using GFaqs for this one, and I'll probably replay it when CN's patch is done, although that could be a while. EDIT: I beat this, finally. SO good. Although, Creed Graphite gave me a hard time.

-Destiny2(PS2). Just ordered this one today. $18. (: EDIT: Yeah, so this game is pretty awesome. Haven't gotten too far yet though.

-Symphonia:KnightsOfRatatosk. I think I never bought this game because it seemed really bad compared to Vesperia, which was released around the same time here in the US. But I'm starting to realize that if I set my expectations lower, it'll probably be worth it. And its the only localized title I don't own. So why not. EDIT: Bought it now. (Spring '10)(Comments)

-Graces. I got the buggy version. (Summer '10) It's pretty fun from what I've played so far. We'll see how it gets later on. Hacking my Wii was also surprisingly easy. Smash Stack <3.

-Destiny(PSX). Well, I got the final American Tales game that I didn't have for Christmas ('10). It's actually seeming pretty good. I've played it a little, and I can't say I'm not liking it. The JPN voice acting in battle is strange (saying Majinken when the box says "Missle Sword" is a bit strange), but I don't mind.

-Vesperia(PS3). I finally got this game. I've wanted it since the day I sold my 360 and got my PS3, in 2009. In playing it again, I realize how much I do love this game. I'm so excited. <3 And later, I know I'll be getting Rita's Walter costume off PSN. I'm playing through the game this time as Repede. I usually play as Rita, so I want to shake things up some. I might try Patty and Flynn too, once I get them. And I'll definitely buy this again if Namco decides to localize this after Graces f.

Merchandise I Own:

-Legendia OST
-Mao cards (ty eclisis!)
-Peach Pie Dramatic DVD (ty again, eclisis!)
-Tales Anniversary CD Vol. 1, 2, and 3
-Tokunaga plushie (complete set of heads)

What I'm holding off on:
(Gf)

-Gracesf. Super want. The demo was awesome. I have the Wii version to hold me over for now. I think I'm going to wait a while though, seeing as a localization isn't completely out of the picture. And if it doesn't happen, well, then I'll just have to import. And the Graces team is graciously (see what I did there?) doing a Graces f patch too, so, no worries. EDIT: OMG GRACES F IS COMING TO THE US. WILL BUY FIRST DAY. I'm SO glad I held off on importing this.

What I want:
(T,KRPG:KSLP,P:ND,RM2,X)

-Tempest. Seeing as I've now ordered Destiny 2, I technically own every mothership Tales title except Graces. That being said, I wouldn't agree with that statement. As much as it sucks compared to the other titles, I still consider Tempest to be mothership. It was developed as a main entry in the series. You won't find any where saying that Tempest was planned to be a mothership, because that terminology came about after Tempest was released, where it was stated that it is officially an escort title. But to me, thats Namco just trying to sweep it under the rug. As mediocre as it may be, I still want to play. Maybe its just the completionist in me wanting to beat each game in the series, but I have a feeling its decent.

-KeroroRPG:TheKnight,TheSamurai,AndTheLegendaryPirate. Wow. That's a mouthful. I'm not really sure whether to count this as a Tales game or not, but it is made by Tales Studio, and it has the LMBS brand/sticker thingy, so I figured I'd include it here. I've never actually watched Keroro, but this game is supposed to play like Hearts, so I'm definitely going for this if it gets localized.

-Phantasia:NarikiriDungeonX. Yeah, so this game looks pretty interesting, and this way, I can avoid buying ToP:FVE. Wish more effort was put into Phantasia though.

-RadiantMythology2. It has Mao!! And I really want RM3, but I think I'm going to go for this one first.

-Xillia. OH. MY. GOODNESS. I WANT THIS SO MUCH. But seriously. The concept art is great, the trailer was awesome, and it looks like a lot of work is going into this. And it's the first Tales BUILT for the PS3. I'm debating pre-ordering the Japanese version, even though it has a chance of coming over. I want to have that one Tales game that's MINE, where I have it from day one, I have the pre-order bonuses, I have the Japanese and English version, etc. This may be the one. Awaiting more info.

What I'll get to ... eventually:
(ND,ND2,ND:SL,ND3,R,E,D2,VS,RM3,A)

-NarikiriDungeons. Yeah, so pretty much for all of the Narikiri Dungeons, they're kind of old and I don't really know much about them.

-Rebirth(PS2). Yeah, so I have the PSP version which is awesome. But I might eventually want the PS2 version for collector's reasons and for multiplayer. And if anyone were to ever do a patch for this game, I'd expect the PS2 version rather than PSP.

-Eternia(PSP). Yeah, I already mentioned this, but having this game on the go would be nice, provided I don't get the Volt Glitch. And of course there's the collector in me.

-Destiny2(PSP). So I mainly bought Destiny 2 on the PS2 because that's what version PP's patch will be compatible with, and the PS2 version is much cheaper than the PSP version. But there are extras in the PSP version, and eclisis will at some point have complete translation videos for Destiny 2 that I could use with the PSP version, so maybe...

-VS. Yeah. So I've heard this game sucked. But I heard Wallbreaker was really fun. If I can find it cheap, I'm considering trying it. What do y'all think?

-Fandom1/2. Yeah, so these aren't really games. And I could probably get the same experience just from watching YouTube vids or reading a translation. But my completionist side is wanting to buy them. And there are 2 versions of each, so that would make 4 games that would just sit and collect dust. ... Maybe I'll consider it once I buy a few others first.

-RadiantMythology3. Yeah, so I really want this. IT HAS LONI. I think I'm going to beat RM2 first though, so this one could be a while off.

-Abyss(3DS). Hm. Not what I would have chosen to put on the 3DS, but still. I'd really like to have it. Also, rumors are floating around that it'll be released in the US, which would make sense, especially alongside the Abyss anime that's apparently coming. If it could be a launch title, that would be amazingggg.

Merchandise I Want:

-Phantasia OVA (I'm not big on OVAs, but it was released in the US. So hey)
-Abyss anime on DVD or Blu-Ray
-Vesperia: The First Strike (Yeah, even though this likely will never be in English, I'm a sucker for Vesperia. And Blu-Ray.) EDIT: I have a subbed copy on my PS3. So that'll probably be all I need. Unless it gets released in English. Then I'll buy it.

The way I got them:

Symphonia (NGC) - The first tales game I played, and the best in that time IMO. Story was awesome! And the ending was pretty good. I liked the Technical or Strike feature, it was pretty easy to adapt to, and only get the types of attacks you wanted.

Phantasia (GBA) - Shown to me by my friend, and since it was actually related to Symphonia's timeline, I bought it. It was a great game but confusing at most times. And still after a couple years, I still haven gotten to the end XD.

Narikiri Dungeon 3 (GBA) - After I discovered there were actually a few games out already that had to do with the Tales of Series, I bought the game with all the recent characters in it. I didn't pay attention to the story at first, since I didn't know Japanese then, but after a couple playthroughs, I figured most of it out.

Tempest (NDS) - Once again, my friend told me about this one, most people hate it for some reason, but I think its a pretty good game. Still not done BTW. Beasts are awesome!

Destiny 2 (PSP) - When I finally got a PSP, I bought this game. Judas was my favorite dude to play as, especially with his mask off.

Symphonia 2 (Wii) - Being a sequel to my first game, I waited and bought it! Emil and Richter were badass new characters, and the story was good. Except, the time of gameplay was severely killed, I beat it in 20 hours, when the original took over 40. Also, I hated that I had to replace Zelos with Kratos... I have nothing against Zelos, but Kratos was my best dude to play as.

Another thing, Mystic Artes were noticeably downgraded, and easier to pull off. So, the first was way better.

Hearts (NDS) - Anime Movie Edition. Since I have a DS still, I ordered it. The story was great again, and I loved the command things, were you get to summon another Tales of character for an attack.

VS. (PSP) - Got it right before Christmas, and started playing it from there. Some characters I expected to be in it weren't, but I got to play as most of my best chars.

Graces (Wii) - Ordered online, then used cheats in order to play it on my USA Wii. I'm still not done, although I am playing. So far, the game is badass! The first time I started playing it was somewhen at night, but I played until almost the morning. Richard came as my favorite character, both as a kid and adult, but sadly (as far as I know at this moment) I wont get to play as him again.

[Hyzenthlay]

In the order that I played them...

Symphonia (GCN): I played it for the first time in September '08, but it was my friend's copy. I do have a copy of my own now, though.

Dawn of the New World:Conveniently came out just a little bit after I first played the first game.

Abyss: I found a used copy in GameStop in November '08. Naturally, I bought it.

Legendia: This was the first Tales game I ordered online. Played it in early '09. (Heh, that rhymes!)

Phantasia (GBA): Ordered this one shortly after Legendia. I actually played it on a GCN, though, because I wanted it on a big screen.

Destiny (PSX): I didn't get it for another few months after beating Phantasia due to its being kinda pricey. I beat it last summer.

Eternia (PSX): I just beat this one about a month ago. See, there was a bit of a gap between Destiny and Eternia because I was busy watching Vesperia and Rebirth on Youtube because I don't have a 360 and didn't want to play a game in a language I don't understand.

Radiant Mythology 1: Technically, I don't have this, but I'm ordering it soon.
_________________

[Cloud]

I own:

Symphonia (PS2) - The GCN version was my first Tales game, but I sold it for some reason and got this as a gift from a friend during my first year in high school. As much as I miss the english cast and being able to read things, the japanese cast is pretty funny to listen to.

Phantasia: FVE - I've played all versions of Phantasia to at least some extent, and this is what I got when I first ordered my blue PSP from PA. Probably the best version, not that that says a whole lot.

Legendia - I bought this a couple summers ago, played it in scorching heat and hated it, sold it, then got nostalgic for it again about a year later, and bought it again, and loved it. I don't know. It's a good game.

Destiny 2 (PS2) - First import, and might explain why I'm so biased towards it, but I don't care, it's a great game.

Abyss - Got this the day it came out, and sold Xenosaga III to get it, a decision I've come to regret, because at least I can stare at KOS-MOS ass in that game, whereas Abyss does nothing for me now.

Destiny (PS2) - Ordered this around the time it came out, and played it pretty much nonstop when I got it. I remember checking my PA shipping tracking at school to see if it arrived at my doorstep while I was at school, and then running home with a friend and playing it.

Narikiri Dungeon 2 - I wanted 3. Ryuuko bought it off eBay before me. So I settled for 2. 2 is not fun to play if you don't know japanese, so I haven't touched it much.

Destiny 2 (PSP) - Bought this because I loved Destiny 2 so much I thought owning it on the go would be great, and it was.

Eternia (PSP) - Aelph got this one for me. Knowing me, I probably wouldn't have played through the entire thing otherwise, so I'm still thankful to her for that.

Vesperia (360) - First 360 game. Was really late to the party with this one, but enjoyed it nonetheless.

Hearts - Bought the anime version for 80 dollars (with shipping) because I am oh-so-smart, and while it was a great game for the DS, I don't think I should've spent that much on it. Oh well.

Rebirth (PS2) - My most recent Tales purchase. Like I've expressed before, it was a great game I wish I could've gotten sooner, even though I almost imported it over ToD2. Haha.

What I want:

Graces - It looks fantastic, and definitely something I could get into with enough time to sit down with it, but importing games is really expensive now and so I haven't bought it yet. Wii's modded and everything, too.

Rebirth (PSP) - Same reason I got Destiny 2 PSP, I love Rebirth enough to buy it again for some portable joy.

Symphonia (GCN) - I'd like to have an english version once more. Don't know why I sold that...

What I am bound to play eventually, but I don't really want to:

Symphonia: Dawn of the New World - I know I'll play this eventually. I'm not really looking forward to it, but I know it'll happen. I'll walk into a store, see it for 20, and say, "what the hell", and walk out with it. And then I'll probably just complain about everything.
_________________

[White Nectar]

Symphonia: Entry to the series, played it like 7 times through, loved it, still would if i hadn't have done pretty much everything. Place in my heart etc

Phantasia GBA: Didn't like the dungeon design back then, still think it's a bit shoddy now... but it is pure ungimmicky, solid, RPG stuff. Good world, good characters, fun battles, sidequests.

Abyss: In 2008 I believe, I finally got swap magic. I actually played Destiny PS1 and Eternia before this, but through... other methods. Abyss was the 3rd game in my collection, and while it was great first time through, was in the end just a standard entry to the series imo. Nothing special.

Destiny: DC: My joint favourite Tales game with Symphonia - despite not being able to understand half of it without a translation guide. The battle system is just that good, the characters are well-designed, world may not have been memorable but the dungeons in it certainly were. Great replay value too imo. Just an overall masterpiece.

Hearts: Have yet to finish this... I got bored of not knowing what was happening, despite getting pretty far with it. I'll go back to it oneday. In my opinion the battle system was broken, far too easy, but it wasn't a weak game. Standard entry to the series imo.

Vesperia 360: Very very good. Characters, battle system, world, storyline, graphics - all great. Where I felt it let itself down was the soundtrack (bar a few good tracks), some stupid cut off points for sidequests, and while it is not a fault with the ingame I guess, the lack of content that the PS3 got. And some stupid AI if it's not your day. Found this a great addition to the series and my collection, but not a masterpiece... Although the PS3 version might be different >:[

[cutepresea]

Oh man, let's see if I can remember the order I played them in (not going into too much detail with any stories about them either)...

Tales of Symphonia: Both versions. Got the Gamecube one back in '04 and got the PS2 one about a year after.

Tales of the Abyss: Imported this using money I got for my birthday in '05.

Tales of Phantasia (PS): Got this a bit before the GBA version was released over here. I do have the GBA one, but I couldn't bring myself to finish it.

Tales of Legendia: Was there a story behind this? I don't even remember how I got the money for it.

Tales of Hearts (Anime Movie Edition): Two years after buying my last Tales game, I preordered this on my 20th birthday.

Dawn of the New World: Got this from Tales Brigade along with a shirt.

Tales of Rebirth (PS2)/Tales of Eternia (PS)/Tales of Destiny (PS2): Bought all these at the same time using some money I got from selling something.

Tales of Destiny 2 (PS2)/Narikiri Dungeon/Summoner's Lineage: Had a job at this point. I was buying ToD2 and decided to buy some of the spinoffs that I figured would be a bit harder to find. Still need to finish ND and SL.

Tales of VS.: Still had a job so I was able to preorder this. Haven't touched it yet.

Tales of Vesperia (PS3): Lost my job at this point, but still had the money to buy this. Haven't touched this one, either.

I guess it goes without saying that I want whichever games in the series I don't have. Graces is my priority at the moment. I actually almost forgot to put Dawn of the New World in my list.
_________________

[silver forte]

I own

Tales of Symphonia(GC)- first entry into the series, loved it.

Tales of Legendia- The music is what first caught my attention when I first played it. Great story and Characters. I wish Go Shiina would return. Battles are kinda subpar though.

Tales of the World: Narakiri Dungeon 3- caught my attention while looking at holystars site years ago. Very friendly to non japanese readers. And still really fun.

Tales of Destiny 2- Amazing battle system, although I couldn't understand what was going on or the characters. The battles were so good they made up for it imo. Awesome themes too. I wish the sp system would return. Probably my favorite Tales.

Tales of Rebirth- Not as fun as Destiny 2 imo. And the battle system is way more complicated, not to mention I couldn't understand what the heck was going on. None of the themes stood out to me either. So due to all this I still haven't finished it in over 4 years. My least favorite tales imo.

Tales of Phantasia(GBA)- Terrible voice acting aside, I thought it was pretty good, not amazing, just good.


Tales of the Abyss- Really good. I don't understand why everyone hates it now. I loved the battles and a few of the characters. The story and music were meh, but I don't really care about that.

Tales of Destiny Remake- AMAZING battles, just as good or better than Destiny 2. I don't understand the story nor the characters, but I didn't care, the battles are great. I love flash spamming things. The only thing that has stopped me from really replaying this are the bad dungeons imo. Trash mountain and the aerial ruins are just terrible. Music was eh, not as good as Destiny 2s.

Tales of Vesperia(sorta, I have to rebuy it sometime, I had only borrowed it) - Amazing, best 3d tales imo. Great battles, and amazing characters, only second to Legendia. The only things I disliked were that the story was eh.. which is to be expected with tales anyway, and the music was nothing special except for a few battle themes. Ties with Destiny 2 and Destiny Remake for favorite tales.

I have played Symphonia 2, and it was extremely average imo, not worth picking up. Tenebrae was the only good thing about the game.

I also hope to be playing Graces sometime, looks really good.

Tales of Symphonia (GCN)
My first entry into the Tales serise. I bought a GCN for Twilight Princess (at the time I bought it, it wasn't announced for the Wii yet) and I was looking for some RPGs. I got Symphonia and Skies of Arcadia. I beat Symphonia and Skies? It got left collecting dust. >_<

Tales of the Abyss (PS2)
I bought this with my book buy back money. I wanted another Tales RPG after Symphonia and heard a lot of good stuff about this game. I played it and loved it. To this day it's still one of my favorites.

Tales of Legendia (PS2)
I got this for Christmas along with Baten Kaitos and BK Origins. I still haven't beaten it.

Tales of the Tempest (DS)
My first import game. I got it because it was so cheap and wanted to try playing a Tales game in Japanese. I beat it. I enjoyed it, but there were a few things that irked me about it, such as the stupid AI and the lack of some sort of transportation. Walking everywhere just sucked.

Tales of Rebirth (PSP)
My second import. I got this game for my birthday before I even had a PSP. I loved the characters, especially Mao and Veigue, and really wanted to play it. I have a PSP now and ma working through the game, but I'm kinda stuck.

Tales of the World: RM (PSP)
I found 20 bucks on the ground, so I got this game. I am up to the last boss, but I have to level up and I really don't like the game enough to spend hours upon hours leveling up. I might just youtube the ending...

Tales of Phantasia (GBA)
Eight bucks from Gamestop. I played a little, but the battle system was so awful that I had to stop. Maybe I'll pick it back up, eventually.

Tales of Innocence (DS)
I got this one from yesasia. This game was quickly getting out of print and I wanted a copy, so I was able to snag one for 30 on yesasia. I haven't played much of it since my r button broke though.

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (Wii)
One of my most anticipated games. I loved all the new characters and the battle system. I didn't buy my Wii for this game, but I was sure happy to have it when this game came out. I'm hoping to import the Japanese version one of these days.

Tales of Vesperia (X360)
I had a lot of mixed feelings about this game. I hated the Xbox, but even more than that, the game just didn't appeal to me. I never really liked cell shading (I wasn't really a fan of Symphonia's art style) and I really didn't like the character designs. I ended up getting this game completely on a chance, My friend won two copies of the game on Tales Brigade and another friend gave me his old 360, so I was able to play the game. I wound up liking Yuri and Flynn a lot more than I thought I would, but I'm still not a very big fan of the game, and the weak plot did nothing but further disappoint me.

Tales of Hearts CG (DS)
I got this game when it was on sale. I like it so far, though Shing's obsession with Kohaku really makes me roll my eyes at times. The battle system is a lot of fun and I love how the weapons level up.

Tales of Destiny 2 (PSP)
I got this game with a bunch of others in Korea. I wanted it for a long time mostly because it had Judas in it. I really wanted to play a game with Leon, but Destiny PSX was hard to find and I didn't have the means to play the PS2 version of Destiny. Anyway, I started this game, but decided it might be better to play it after I finish Destiny, so I stopped.

Tales of Eternia (PSP)
Got this game at the same time as Destiny 2. I just got to Celestia. I love it, though I'm a little disappointed that it's not fully voiced...

Tales of VS (PSP)
Currently working on Luke and Tear's story. I finished Kyle/Leon and Lloyd/Colette.

Tales of Destiny DC (PS2)
This is one of my favorite buys. I was looking around the market for this game and I could only find the DC for 45. I managed to find one vendor who was selling the Korean version of the Collector's Edition which came with the artbook, CD, game and a nice box for 30. The game, CD, and artbook are in Japanese, but the manual itself is in Korean. I started a game, but haven't gotten very far yet. I love the battle system.

Tales of Rebirth (PS2)
I found the PS2 version of this game for pretty cheap, so I got a copy. I may give it to one of my friends eventually, but for now I'm enjoying one of my favorite Tales games on the PS2.
