This is the first Tales game I've played all the way through. I've played some of the PSX ones, but always got sidetracked. This one looked cool so I picked it up. I almost gave up due to kiddy and sort of bad voice acting. But I stuck with it and found a great story waiting to be played. This game turned out to be a lot of fun. I think I'll have to play the other Tales games to see if I'm missing anything.
