I'm getting it even though its a horrible game. I like to support the tales series when ever I can, even when they make something that doesn't need to exist.
aww why did you think it was horrible? i watched the anime just to get a taste of the story, and i thought it was compelling to say the least.
The game came after legendia which already wasn't a good start since that was a pretty awesome game.
Aside from that on its own the characters, and story aren't well written at all after you get the replacement for luke. Along with that outside of battle characters are very stiff and lifeless with very few well moving animations. The textures in the game are poor feeling like they come from a PS1 game rather than a PS2 game.
The music jesus christ the music on its own the music is fine but when your in for the long haul it gets grating. The game's motif is in almost every song and way to noticeable making everything sound the same. With the way things build to the end the horrible writting, having to look at the fucking bastard characters, and at the peak hear the same damn bump of chicken song in orchestral just to be topped with a cliff hanger makes the game horrible.
After all that the game isn't even finished. similar to vesperia it was pushed out not done. Obviously in game you are suppose to have Ion be playable, and not so obviously VAN OF ALL PEOPLE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE PLAYABLE.
Credit due though the battle system is a delight, it has its moments, and the music when played on its own is really good.
