Welcome to Gaia! ::

EDIT: CRAP i POSTED THIS IN THE HAIR CULT WARS... O-O CRAP >.< Keeenntaaaa move it ;-;

Oh I dont hate it, it was my first one, I just played better o_o

Well, here is some reasons

1: The characters and story aren't that good, medicore, that it is! :O

Why? It borrows way too many plots from its previous games. Eternia, destiny, phantasia (Though it is phantasia's prequel, so that slides a little). And the characters are just plain...unoringinal. There is nothing about them that sticks out, nothing that's memorable. Why? It's been done before by the other tales game which WERE able to make everyone differernt, but Tos failed to do so.

The characters... bleh.

Lloyd the annoying preacher who CONSTANTLY contradicts himself! For the whole freaking game! The only time his preaching seems right is for the damn moment! Then later he contradicts it and he rather make the world blow up then let collette die! Mithos summed it up well!

"No life goes for the sake of dying? What are those exspheres you're wearing?"

OWNED.

NEXT

Collette the slow innocent mary-sue of a heroine. Her tripping was funny ONCE. But then they used it too much! Then in battle...she still sucked. Everyone treated her like god, and that was annoying. What the hell have she done for you? She's just a FAILED Chosen.

She just made the game longer with all the kidnapping and all the treasure hunting for EXSPERE PIECES, for her damn crystal! DX Without her, the game would've been quick! She does gets points for being memorable for being an annoying character who tripped too much.

Genis was awsome at first, but then he gone emo for Mithos 'betrayal'. Man, he really was going in a really good direction. He was sarcastic, smart, and an a*****e to slow/stupid people! His skits were funny because of the faces and the means remarks, but this is when his character has fallen.

"Mithos, lets be best friends FOR-EVER!!"

Right there damn it, right there. Then he frowns, moans and whines Mithos' name, the whole lot. Then he too, becomes as preachy as Lloyd, but for Mithos.

Raine was simply awsome. For her ruin modes were halarious, and the fact she was violent and stuff. I mean, who didn't laugh or thank her for slapping someone for being stupid? Or just simply hit them out of anger? That was great. But that's all she had going for her though. Then she too, went emo.

Kratos... WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE THIS GUY?! He's all... "Blah... I am all serious and I think I know everything. I brood over being a sucky parent and I am slave to a child who has weird ideals."

A friend of mines helped me realised that, Kratos could've taken the eternal sword and left Mithos o_o I mean really... he IS the pact of oringin o_O And... he really isn't as bad a** and oringinal as everyone says he is... He contradicts himself too much, as does Lloyd

oh, and a Judas/Leon rip-off :] Sept Judas/Leon pwnz

Zelos was awsome (to me) cause he was a funny perverted a*****e. Though he gets annoying for many people. His back story had no relervence to the plot and really wasn't all that interesting. he was just comic relief. A selfish narcissist, who was also an idiot. Yay. My main fighter.(Who i played as)

Regal: KRATOS REPLACE, KRATOS REPLACE!! Their past is exactly the freaking same! That adds to why the characters aren't oringinal! They both had weird/forbindon love, then all of a sudden their wives get screwed over and turn into monster they had to kill. Then they 'punish' thamselves and freaking brood 24/7. He is Kratos clone that uses his feet.

Presea: EMPTY SHELL. She is really, really blank. She has the least personality out of all of them. Because she was trapped in an exsphere, woooo. Alot of people got screwed by those lame marbles... So, even after being saved, she is still a shell. Oh, and before someone uses the 'axes are oringinal!" defence on me (it happened before) Mary(Tales of destiny), Loni(Tales of destiny2), Barbatos(Tales of destiny 2), and Cless(Tales of phantasia) used axes.

Yggdrasill: Yggyman..yggyman... WHY ARE YOU TAKING DHAOS' COOL POINTS? Everyone goes 'Dhaos looks like Yggdrasill 'Dhaos copies Yggdrasill 'Dhaos is taking his foot steps'. Well you're wrong. Let's get this straight, Dhaos had the whole angel thing way back on tales of phantasia on the PSX(Play station 1 remake of tales of phantasia on the super nintendo). His wings are green and sticks up. Not only did Yggdrasill nearly have the same look as Dhaos' angel form, on the ps2 he took Dhaos' infamous "Dhaos laser" attack and called it "Yggdrasill laser" . Yes, it's supposed to be a nifty 'ooh cameo' but too many tos fans go "omg Dhaos coppied!'

okay, now onto his character.

He was once a hero, who cares. He went insane when his sister died, and was all: "OMG I HATE HUMANS! BASTARDS!!" So he made chosen after chosen to come up to be a vessle for Martel. They all died like wusses except Collette. So when Martel FINALLY gets in something. She's like "Mithos, wtf are you doing? Stop it and get a life."

So Mithos is like. "OMg wtf! She didn't say that! She didn't! I'm gonna get all pissy and break more stuff! And get another body!! A world for mah sista and me!!"

As you can tell by now, there isn't much to his character, back story, motive, etc. He's just the main villian guy.

Sheena: First, Suzu>Sheena. Sheena lacks any ninja qualities. She's clumsy and very open to people. Not only that, SHE DOESN'T HAVE NINJUTSU! She attacks with cards! She can't summon toads! And she really can't summon! You gotta wait for the chick to be in overdrive! Why does a ninja element summon anyway?? All she was, was a person who denyed her crush for Lloyd and enhance Zelos' perv acts... and fanservice. She was also a tribute to Suzu anyway, look at her successor outfit.



The gameplay was rather easy, and on Mania too. The only fun I had was killing abbysession and the ToE characters (Excluding Garr/Woodrow xD) o_O Also, I did went "OMG MUST GET THEM ALL" crazy on tos and replayed 8 times... but then I just played better. It does get points for bringing me into the series in the first place though. Yeah...
------------------

Okay, that's it. REVIEW MY REVIEW XD (Gee, that sounds weird xD)

You win Steak-points. Which are better than Kurai-points, Kenta-points, and Exsel-pionts, because they're Elite Steak points.

Well...

Atleast I'm pushing a few people down below me and into the muck. ^_^

XD I'm not bashing the game but... FINALLY MORE PEOPLE SEE THAT REGAL WAS THE KRATOS REPLACE! Well, personality and story wise... Zelos just replaced the fighting... but better xp

I finally got to reading this. XD

I liked Lloyd. He started out as a clue-less dummy thene slowly he turned into a hero. After playing all the main game's Him,Stahn and Kyle are th only main heros who developed very nicley. Luke was to fast,Senal just sucked,Cless was just...there and Veigue was. "O__o" <---- Yeah.

So Lloyd passed for me.

Collette.
the second I got ToS she annoyed me. She felt like Floone from Disgea minus the awesome-ness! Dx. Thene she went really emo near the end..like REALLY emo. >_>..Plus saving her all the time got boring and tire-some. Plus she isn't very good in battle unless YOU controll her.

Thus I didin't like her to much.

Genis
Frist I dunno hour, I fount him pretty cool. A total little dill-hole to everybody. But thene he started whith his crying and stuff around 3-4 hous in. SO I started to dis-like him. I dunno he felt like a half-assed version of Keel to me. And I Gesea! >_O Worst paring ever.

So yeah Genis sucks if you ask me.

Raine
Liked random things about her. Out of all the ToS heros she was done pretty well. She was bitchy and cold. But slowly she started to break if you dug for it. I think thats why her "Death" scean is called the saddest by many fans. Worst healer in the series if you ask me. Other heals got a nice mix of healing techs and ougis and holy ougis. Raine did not.

I guess I liked her.

Kratos
....
Iam not gonna spend to long on it.
The entire game up untill that final battle whith him = Awesome. XD it was so funny seeing him piss Lloyd off thene walking off as notthing ever happened. But he just lost all his flare once he got to his whole " I MUST ATONE" Stage

So mixed emotions on him.

Sheena
I loved her actually. I say to truly understand her ( Same goes for the other T-Group members) You need to play the PS2 version. She was allways in my party and she did help me out alot. Summoing never matter to me since it sucked anyway in ToS. Beside's it take's LONGER to summon in toE. >__.

She passes in my books.

Zelos
If you ask me he deserved to be so high on the contest last year be Kosuke went all out on his personality. Intresting seeing a guy who was such a perverted stuck up asshead. But thene you find out his past is possible the most effed up out of anybody in the group. Plus his death is VERY sad if you do all the correct side-quest.

Pass whith flying colors.

As for everybody else.

FAIL (Cep Yuan and Forcy)
