Last left off after getting Scythe guy. Yes, I know Feize is going to end up being the final boss.

No, I dont like the story or characters, but this is one of only 2 JRPGS (the other being Final Fantasy X, Im sorry) Ive ever dropped.

How long until I reach the end?

2 was amazing and I played through it tens of times

3 was boring, the game didn't transition well to 3D, quit early on

never tried 4

3 was actually the first one I played, and I really liked it. I thought the battle system, at least at the time, was innovative and incredibly fun. Then I later played the psp remakes of one and two, and really liked both of them.

Then I played 4... Well. At least I managed to finish it. I own 5, but haven't played it.

Just barely made it past Armaros Manifest because he decided to keep making adds ever 5 seconds who exclusively went after Serah, who did nothing but stayed in play the entire time >_>

This gameplay is a fucking slog

I dont understand, this definitely plays better than Tales of Legendia, but everything else -everything- is so much worse that Im dreading finishing this meal so I can go and play it.

And its not even like this is aggressively bad like Lunar Dragon Song. This is the horcrux of JRPGs because its just a slog at every fucking turn.

im gonna need a beer or 4 or 5

Okay, there has to be something Im missing here. The wiki says all you can really do is spam your specials when he does that light ball thing, and that this is going to be a long battle regardless.

come on... really? This isnt even a difficult battle, this is just... long? Im just gonna hack away at this guy with the same string of 6 moves until hes dead? Thats it???

SO1 should have been released on the SNES in the U.S., but the PSP remake, soon to be remade again for Switch, is good fun.

SO2 remains my favorite PS1 JRPG. Beat it four times, and I have been pondering another run. Best version of the Private Action system.

SO3 pissed me off because that plot twist invalidated all of the previous games.

SO4 is shite.

SO5 isn't even a finished game.

Lyms drawings that she spent the game making finally coming in clutch before the final dungeon is the one bit of unambiguously good writing so far.

When I first played SO3 back in 2008, I loved it. Once I played the re-release, I hated it after the 1/2 mark

Tales of games spoiled me.

SO4... looks great, but pretty meh otherwise. Stopped once I got the angel girl

Its not your PS3 its that the game is unplayable on... Wait a minute, what the fuck!? Youre playing it on PS3 and didnt get any freezes until the final dungeon!? What kind of god tier super PS3 do you have? This game is completely unplayable on PS3 for just about everyone because it freezes all the time! I had to give up and wait for it to be rereleased on PS4 just to get past the Cardianon base!

It was so prevalent that when the rerelease was announced that the top question was Is the freezing fixed?

Bad port definitely. Bad game...? Well youre struggling all the way through it so it cant be that bad, right?
