I played this game entirely too much.
It's the best Tales i've ever played and i've played them all(excluding the portable ones)
Despite not understanding the story, having to fumble with the accessories and leveling up my weapons/armor and having to translate a ToD Wiki to figure out what skills are which and what spells are what, It's the most fun on the PS2 i've had since Okami. And i consider Okami to be the best PS2 game ever. I have never had such a love for the dark bottle and random battles before now. Even Star Ocean 3's excellent fighting system can't compare to this. It's just 1000% awesome. I am in love.
Witness it people. This is why Symphonia, Abyss, and Legendia suck. They suck because they are no fun to fight in at all when you've played a real fighting system like this one. The last one of this calibur was, depending on opinion, Rebirth or Destiny 2. The 3d games were lacking the BURNING PASSION that Destiny 2, Eternia, etc had.
But they brought it back and oh god is it good. I am sad to see the Tales series fall into a horrible 3d spiral of death when they can show you just how perfect the 2d system can be. I only hope someone can bring the dream of a 3d tales that dosen't lack BURNING PASSION to life.

Woah, totally agree with this point here. The game was an incredible amount of fun. Just finished it yesterday morning and will be going through a 2nd playthrough very soon, which is rare these days.
Don't worry about the story. If you've played the original Destiny, it's roughly 40% the same. In terms of script and character relations though, it's very different, but improved imo.
This deserves to come here, though knowing Sony and 2D games. =/
There's nowhere I can't reach.
