That other thread is an eyesore. Just seeing Katchem_Ash's name on it pains me.
Every Tales game must include at least 90% of the following:
Four warriors defeated the evil wizard Dhaos and sealed him away. Ten years later, two of the children of those heroes, Cless and Mint, are manipulated into releasing Dhaos, but as he attacks, they're thrown 100 years into the past and have to join forces with Klarth the summoner and the halfelf witch, Arche to find a way a defeat Dhaos in the past, and save their present.
PSX - 1997, PS2 (Remake) - 2006
Looking for fame and adventure, Stahn Aileron stows away on an airship. The ship is attacked, and Stahn finds a sentient sword called a swordian in the cargo that he uses to defend himself. The sword, Dymlos, draws him to other swordsmen with their own swordians and to the remnants of an ancient civilization that nearly destroyed the world using the power of lens... which is slowly being revived. PSX - 2000, PSP - 2005
Millenia ago, the world was seperated into Celestia and Inferia and passage blocked between the two. One day, two Inferians, Reid and Farah, find a strange girl speaking an ancient language. Her name is Meredy, and she's searching for somebody who holds within them the power of the Aurora to prevent the Grand Fall from crashing Celestia and Inferia into each other and destroying both their worlds. PS2 - 2002, PSP - 2008
18 years after Tales of Destiny, a cult has arisen using the power of lens to bring happiness to all. Stahn and Rutee's son, Kyle, seeks adventure just like his father, and soon finds a mysterious girl that emerges from a giant lens searching for a hero. The cult kidnaps her, and while trying to rescue her, Kyle is thrown through time to alternate pasts and futures in order to undo the corrupt power warping the world. GCN - 2003, PS2 - 2004
The land of Sylvarant is dying, being slowly drained of its mana and under near total slavery by the race of Desians. Colette is the Chosen One, born to bring about the world regeneration and restore mana to Sylvarant. As she leaves on her journey, her childhood friend Lloyd recklessly attacks the Desians and brings their wrath to his village, so he follows her into the world, even while being hunted by the Desians, as well as those from the world of Teth'e'alla whose world will begin to die if Collete's succeeds. PS2 - 2004, PSP - 2008
Beast people and humans existed in peace until the death of a great king. His ability echoed through the world and awoke a strange control over ice in Veigue, resulting in him freezing his childhood friend, Claire, solid. He vigilantly protects her for a year, until others show up to explain what happened to him. Soon after, Claire is kidnapped and they're forced to rescue her while a massive war between the beastmen and humans brews. PS2 - 2005
Senel and his sister, Shirley, wash up on the shore of the giant island-ship Legacy. Shirley is immediately kidnapped before they can gather their senses and Senel is forced to recruit others to help him rescue her, but it's soon revealed that Shirley shares a past with the Legacy and neither are what they seem to be. PS2 - 2005
Everything in the world is ruled by a prophecy known as the Score. The Score foretold that Luke would bring great prosperity to his kingdom, so has been living in near-capitivity for years after he was kidnapped by a rival nation years ago. His secure and peaceful life is shattered when a woman breaks into his mansion and attacks him, awakening a strange energy in his body that teleports the two of them into enemy territory. On his journey home, he starts to learn the truth about his past, and about the Score that rules the world. NDS - 2007
After a great world war, strange powers started to emerge in people all over the planet. Fearing that these new powers would ebroil the world in another massive conflict, those with special powers began to be rounded up and arrested. When a girl with powers is chased by members of the royal guard asks for his help, he realizes that he too holds those powers. Now fleeing for his life, Ruca and his fugitive companions try to understand the powers they've inherited are and the true nature of the war that nearly destroyed the world. 360 - 2008
Blastia is an energy that protects and nutures the world, but also cages the populace to only the places it can protect. When a vital blastia is stolen from the capital city, Yuri tries to hunt down the thief. He and the noblewoman Estelle set out in pursuit of the thief, along the way learning the true secrets of blastia and that its existence could mean the end of all humanity.
Nobody cares about the Tales of the World games. They're silly cameofests anyway. For whatever reason, Tales of the Tempest was also kicked out of the 'main' group and relegated to hang out with the Tales of the World subseries. Tales of Symphonia 2: Knight of Ratatosk is also part of the 'non-main' (whatever the fuck that means) series and is due out November 11th in the US for the Wii, and is already out in Japan.
HAVE AT YOU, MOTHERFUCKERS.
==========================================
Your mom is a pretty classy lady.
Cless would have sex with her.
Stahn might, but he'd have absolutely no idea what he's doing.
Reid would too, but only for the omelets.
Kyle could try, but he's only marginally smarter than his dad.
Lloyd would, but only because it's Dwarven Vow #8.
Veigue would, but nobody has any idea who he is.
Senel might, but he has so many STDs by this point that he should be under quarantine.
Luke wouldn't. He prefers cock.
Ruca probably would, but if your mom let him, she'd be nailed for statuatory rape.
Yuri would wreck that bitch.
========================================================================
The Tales of Series is an RPG series developed by Namco with 18 games, spanning nearly 15 years and at least 8 game systems... even more if you count cell phone nonsense. The selling point is the linear motion battle system, a beat 'em up engine that allows the player(s) to control one or more members of the party in an action sequence while the rest of the party fights relatively autonomously. It was first in two dimensions, and now in all three (wow!).Your mom is a pretty classy lady.

One of them has a belly shirt, stuffed animal, thinks girls are icky, and lets little boys accessorize for him.
The other is Cless.
Wow, way to walk into a topic and scar me.
3DS: 1607-3034-6970
Actually an early screenshot from Symphonia 2, not Rebirth. The character's clearly Emil.
Thank god someone finally did though. The series deserved a good OP on PA, even if its fans are scarce.
Rebirth forever.
Grade 'em.
With stars, if possible.
Vesperia left me hanging, wanting more with no more game left. This shall fill the void nicely.
Yeah Id say so, although IU really has an awesome combat system, the story was pretty good...
Vesperia on the other hand has an amazing combat system, amazing story, awesome characters and the length of a horses cock. Really. This game took me 130 hours to beat. And am currently going through again. (well...was...then my friend borrowed it and hasnt given it back yet, damn him..)
That's Dwarven Vow #7
I am currently playing through IU and while I enjoy the game, ToV is definitely superior.
And then I had to go ahead and buy ToV off of eBay and it's been almost two weeks now
At least it should be arriving tomorrow.
Also, the OP made me bust out laughing, especially the Lloyd part.
Well, I also own Abyss. That should probably take priority.
The only reason I even took an interest in the series was because Kousuke Fujishima was involved.
Destiny is horrible. HORRIBLE. Do not play it. It will give you a disease, and not one of the cool ones like awesomeitis.
Also, Tales of Hearts should probably be added to the OP.
I want to play Vesperia, but I don't have a 360
Which Tales game should I play next?
Oh, Phantasia rocked.
You go buy yourself a 360 and have your mom wrecked by Yuri in Vesperia, DO IT.
Well...your following choices are
Eternia...if you have a PSP or are willing to be ripped off by the interwebs.
Legendia...though opinions of it are pretty mixed.
Abyss, if you have a PS2.
And doing what Mastrius said and getting a 360 for Vesperia.
And...never played Destiny before so I don't know and I've forgotten of Phantasia got re-released.
The DS is also an option, by the way.

I shall reply the way I always reply.
"Tales of Eternia"
*returns to the abyss*
Yeah, fuck that dungeon. I lucked out and ran into Gnome fairly quickly, and I left after that without a second thought. I'm usually anal about getting every treasure chest in a dungeon before I leave. Now I'm on indefinite hiatus from the game after getting to another stupid dungeon where I have to navigate 12 mazes and find the same two items in each one of them. Tedium.
That's what you have online FAQs for my friends.
Assuming you mean Destiny 2 and not Eternia, I didn't really like what I played (which admittedly wasn't much). They added what basically amounts to a stamina bar, and you aren't allowed to do specials or even attack if it gets too low. It recovers by blocking or just sort of standing around. Some things (like backstepping) deplete it, so... you can't even evade that well without using it up. That means that the battles require a lot more relying on the AI while you stand and watch for a second or two waiting for your stamina to recharge.
The story was a fair bit of clusterfuck time travel nonsense too... so... whatever. The best thing it did was bring Leon back and put him in a game that doesn't suck.
Oh Cam Clarke, every time I watch Flip That House I imagine it's really Kratos explaining everything.
That in itself is pretty disappointing
The game looks like crap, too. And the hi-ougis are very disappointing

Noob. The manual clearly states that Repede doesn't actually smoke, he only holds the pipe as a memento of his former master. pffft.
