to me, the VERY best tales is phantasia remake(psp), with abyss coming close second in a tie with destiny remake DC. its so sad to see how much the new tales games have lost their uniqueness. i still remember getting glued to destiny 2 back in the day, now i cant be bothered to continue any of the ones on steam, now that you can play symphonia at 60 i will give it another try, but i was never a symphonia guy, always saw abyss as the far superior game.

This game was everything. The way it played with the genre, establishing characters who were typical jrpg tropes but subverted your expectations for them. The moral greyness of their actions. The ambiguous ending that made it feel more complete. I don't want a sequel, but would kill for an enhanced version/remake.

The original ToS on the gamecube had some random instrumental for the opening instead of the original Jpop song. Same thing with Legendia. At least with abyss the instrumental was jsut the instrumental of the original song. I don't think it was until Vesperia did they actually keep the original song (in this case the singer just sang it in English). It basically took them 4 games until they realized that the fans want the original song.

When you always thought the instrumental version was amazing...then this blows you away.

I really love how in older tales of openings you can at least get a bit of a grasp of what kind of characters you're dealing with or their relationships with each other, sometimes even including scenes that happen in the game, but not giving context so that you're left to wonder. I find that ever since Ufotable took over animating for tales that element is lacking a little and starting with Zestiria it even seems almost completely devoid of it. I wish for modern tales of games to have more of that again.
