Really fun gameplay with great battle system and storyline

Has a unique storyline and one of the most unique battle systems I have ever played, and I have played several RPGs. This is certainly one of the best.

Too long and not worth the time to play

This is not one of the best games to play. It's very long and seems to continue on and on without really a satisfying ending for the time. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Good game!

I liked this game. The battles sometimes ran a little long, but that's true in most RPGs. I also liked the sidequests

Interesting way to play

I've played too many games to even remember most of em' and I decided to buy Tales of Destiny due to an urge to have a new RPG. I wasn't sure of what to expect, I thought it'd probably be some lame no name chance out of nowhere like Tecmo's Secret of the Stars. But then I played it, now this game hit me pretty hard considdering what my idea of it was. I couldn't stop playing, I played this unique battle system and the storyline until I couldn't stay awake. I played this game for two and a half days streight. I didn't even do this for Final Fantasy 7 or Suikoden, this is a game that you wanna play more and more of. very powerful plot indeed but the graphics were certainly weak, I mean they were pretty bad(not as bad a Lunar Silver Star Story Complete's but still pretty weak.) However the music was the best part about the game I think that it beat out any other game's music. Most games have their strongpoints and that's it. Xenogears has the best plot I've ever seen. Suikoden has the best battle system I ever seen. Final Fantasy 8 has the best graphics I've ever seen. But Tales of Destiny have them all balanced out(cept the graphics). I'd reccomend this game to anybody accept the people who only play a game for it's graphics. ~Seth~

This game is great. It has a great balance between Story, Puzzles, and Combat. The fighting itself is very fun and doesn't get old. The graphics are two-dimensional, but also good. It also has lots of great mini games. Maybe there are too many random battes, but they're pretty fun. A must buy for RPGers.

Definatly worth it...

I bought this game on the recomendation of a friend. The graphics are not the best but the music, character develoment, and game play are great. This is NOT an easy, finish it in one sitting, kind of game. There are places in the game that you actually have to THINK (a novel idea when it comes to games). There's plenty here to keep a RPGers interest long enough to finish it. Look past the graphics to the heart of things... great gameplay. (Okay, not ALL the graphics are bad, the opening sequence is beautiful!)

Why isen't this game famous?

I really would like to know why this game isen't famous. I didn't know anything about the game and didn't hear about it before or nothing. I love RPGs so I went to my rental store and looked at a bunch of games. I found this one and picked it up and looked at it. I said "Nah...I will just get Medal of Honor instead." Man is Medal of Honor a great game but then I rented this and loved it. The first reason I like it is because of the battles. You can actually walk up to them and swing your sword at them by pressing buttons and you get learn new skills to do really big moves (I guess you could call them limit breaks but you can use them as much as you want anytime you want until you run out of your points for magic). And you can have all of your characters fight at the same time so you and 3 other people can be pounding on one enemy. You can pick different stratagies on the battle menu. Like you can pick no spells so the computer people that are in your party won't use any spells. Which that is another reason why I like the game. You just control one person in the battle. 3 other people help you out using spells on there own and sometimes when the other people in your party gets really mad they will constantly use spells and let all of there energy out. I really didn't know what the guy was talking about on the review under the title of the game. He was talking like this was the worst ever. Everything he was saying about I disaggreed with. Another thing I like about the game is how the people treat you. They treat you like real life but maybe a little ruff. Don't worry I won't spoil anything. You can walking around town doing nothing and then you can help this girl out and she and another person will say "So......let's sit down somewhere to talk." And then you go in this place with a bunch of drunk people in it which is very humorous. You all talk and decide to go on journey. So then they rent you a place at the inn which is right next door. You go in there and fall asleep. The next morning you see yourself in bed still asleep and you see a bunch of ZZZZZZs about your head which makes you laugh at how cool the game is. Then you see the two girls come in and they talk together telling each other to wake you up. Then one of them walks up to you and kicks you in the face and yells wake up. After you wake up you go "HUH...HUH! Oh....Good Morn(yyyahhhhhnnnn)ing." And then one of the girls go "Your such a zombie." It's just a really really fun game. You go out in snow storms and dungeons and a bunch of places that you can just check out for the fun of it. I really don't why people say this game has such bad graphics. I just finished beating FFVIII and played this game and didn't think the graphics were bad at all. In fact I like the graphics on this game way better because they let you laugh sometimes when you see how they walk. You see your legs walk really fast just like on Charlie Brown. That's basically why I like the game soooooo much because of the fun graphics and the fun gameplay. If you want a fun game that will make you laugh play this. If you want a good game that will make you have different feelings play FFVII. BUY THE GAME! MAKE IT POPULAR!

I love this game! After renting this game for 2 weeks straight, I finally bought it. This game has a good storyline and characters, but the battles and music are bad.(in my opinion)I didn't like how the game is 2-D. It looks too much like a SNES game. Overall it rocks!

Tales of Destiny is undoubtedly the most boring RPG in the history of video games. I started playing with a much higher expectation, and ended disappointed. In addition, I finished the game curious of the ending, only to discover another disappointment.

I spent at least 40 hours playing this game, and vamoosed from approximately 200 battles, as a result of boredom. Even with a strategy guide, I was left in the dark several times. One may walk around aimlessly for hours without a strategy guide at hand. Overall, this game is not recommended by me, but then again everybody has a different opinion.
