Tales of Legendia: Initial Impressions.

Gamefly is way slow sometimes, btw :( But yesterday I finally got my copy of Tales of Legendia, and I've played a couple of hours of it, now..

So, because of your post before, when you were playing Symphonia, I totally went out and bought it... and loved it!

So tell me, should I go out and get this one too?

So far, I'd say yes. However, the battle system seems a bit less complicated (tilting the analog stick does not result in different moves during attacking), and it's only 1 player, I've found out.

I didn't much care for the half hour I spent playing Legendia. It's an overall beautiful game, good music, good graphics, haven't done much with the plot (See half hour play time) I kind of gave up after the world map infuriated me, and after the the cliche 'blonde ditz gets kidnapped' scenario; plus Tales of the Abyss is a hell of a lot better. Legendia's return to the Linear Motion battle system was welcmoe change mind you, if you've played the previous tales games with exception to Symphonia, you'll feel right at home. Legendia honestly seems more like Tales of Rebirth in regards to game play, whilye Abyss has more incommon with Symphonia. I perosonally wouldn't spend the 70 dollars (Canadian) on Legendia.

Hrm... See, I haven't played anything in the Tales universe except for Symphonia. So, in a sense, just a newbie here. So, would your review change if being reccomended to a newbie persona?

Tales of Legendia is an awsome game. Beautiful beautiful game, and character design, development... Rarely am I compelled to DRAW charas from a game.

I agree.
