Tales of Symphonia

At first...I had no intention of playing this game once I saw the graphics were anime..not realistic..like FFX. I then noticed my brother playing it and I thought it looked pretty good...sooner or later...I was addicted.

The game has everything that is needed in a RPG...a good storyline, a battle system that is so much fun and so much more! You get attached to the characters and learn to love them. Not to mention this game is hilarious...the skits and the conversations between them are just too funny.

The game is about 80 hours long..if you do everything..including side quests and it is worth the money! I enjoyed playing this game and I would love to play it for another 10 times!

So what are you waiting for? GO OUT AND BUY THIS GAME!!!

It wont disappoint you like other RPGs..(FFX-2..)

10/10

15 years later and I still love this game. And I probably still will be loving it for the next 15 years.

I keep Tales of Symphonia very dear and near to my heart. Probably nostalgia plays a big role, but there is just something very touching about the story, it leaves you thinking about your own ideals and about what really is right or wrong. I think I could play this game 100 times, it will never get boring.

It's really a classic.

Oh yeah and Kratos is amazing

OK, at first I thought this game would be OK, but it wasn't. IT WAS AMAZING!!! The story is just so inspiring, the battle system is just so perfect, the voice actors are talented, the game is lengthy(about 80 hrs),etc.

It's just a really good game that you should buy if you own a gamecube, and if you don't, buy one!

ONE OF THE BEST RPG's IN A WHILE!!!!!!!!!!!!! 9.0/10

Other than the Baten Kaitos series, this is about the only really good rpg on the gamecube system. Well Skies of Arcadia was good as well, but it was not originally designed for gamecube. This game features a group of friends and fighters helping another one of their friends complete a pilgrimage that once complete will lead her to becoming an angel and lead the world in which they live in out of a down period and into a new age of prosperity. Sounds a bit like Final Fantasy X, eh? Well it does follow the usual rpg formula for the most part as there are a couple of twists here and there, though nothing to shocking what makes this one fun are the characters and the comedy that this and all the Tales series have within them. They also share the same combat system, a real time super fast battle, while it may be fun makes me at least tend to use only one of the characters all the time rather than switching around to others. You just get used to their moves and you have a hard time switching and assigning moves and such. So for an epic journey that spans two worlds and is a lot of fun, though not the most original, this game is worth checking out.

This game is truly amazing. Its not like a play-by-play story where you can predict everything that happens. You cant always know who is on your side and suddenly who is the worst villain. The battle-system is cool and you can have MANY options for fighting and learn new techniques. If you want, you can also set it to multi-player. Then you can play with your buddies. The bosses are awesome and have you wanting to fight more. Also, you can set the mode you want for game play if they are too easy or too tough for you. The storyline is dramatic and touching and has a humorous side of everything. You make the choices. The characters soon have you attached to them. Best RPG I ever played. Seriously, if you have a GC this is definitely considered an option. Take this!
