You like Genis more than Kratos, Regal, and Presea. Everything you say is invalid.

Dhaos is my favorite character. And not pansified sympathetic, misunderstood villain Dhaos from later revisions and the OVA. Good ol' I'm a dick but I'm actually trying to save my home world... not that I'll tell you that until right before the final battle 'cause you mean nothing to me Dhaos.
The Tales series often pulls the sympathetic villain card, but Phantasia did it the best. It makes you want to stop the villain enough that only after you beat him you stop and think, was this the right thing? Especially with Symphonia the final battle was anticlimatic.. I felt like the story was already over and I was just putting the guy out of his misery. Kinda similar in Abyss, really.

Probably has something to with the fact that another Tales character pulled off the same thing except way better, and without me wanting to punch him in the face.

His name starts with 'Jade' and ends with 'Curtiss'.

His name starts with 'Jade' and ends with 'Curtiss'. Heck yeah, Jade is awesome. His dialogue alone made Abyss worth it.

One of my biggest complaints about Abyss is that everyone had some dark secret that they were fine hinting about but wouldn't just come out and say. For a major part of the game I was hoping up and down that Guy was just going to be a normal person who just liked to travel and was abnormally afraid of females. I guess it's cool if you're a teen, but when you get older you get tired of everyone being dark and dramatic. One of the reasons I enjoyed Kingdom Hearts 2 so much when it came out is at the time there was a severe lack of retardedly optimistic jRPG heroes. Sora felt refreshing, especially when played off of brooding Roxas. The game even lampshades a Disney death within 10 seconds of it happening to keep the drama level down for the heroes.

I guess this is where I point out that I don't care much for Sora and think that Roxas is a much cooler protagonist?

I hate MOST of the characters. Of course, I also hate the voice acting, as well. One character I can really stand, apparently is also a villain. That son of a... oh, and the ninja girl. Colette has an excuse to sound brain-dead, at least. The story's also pretty neat, so far. I just started disc 2 over almost a year ago and I still haven't gotten back to it. // I also agree, Roxas was awesome!

I think this is the part where I say I don't care for Kingdom Hearts period? You mean, Sheena Fujibayashi? <3

I think everyone should know my 'incomparable game' by now.
Here's a hint: It starts with 'God' and ends with 'Hand'.

Do not hate the voice acting. Well, not in Abyss. Guy's VA is teh awesome. His character is quite awesome too. :3 Symphonia's VAs were all right but nothing to write home about, especially Cam Clarke. >___>

The only Tales of game I have is Symphonia. Mostly because I'd thought it'd be more like the awesome trailers; instead I feel like I picked up a corny anime game for corny kids who like corny dialogue, corny puns and corny sarcasm. I like it, but it's not NEARLY as great as the trailer made it out to be.
You know the trailer. Where what's his face is in the desert and you see all this gigantic machina roaming and he starts kicking ass.
Instead, I get what feels more like a half-assed Super Smash Bros. with RPG elements.

Actually no, I don't know the trailer. I got it because of a few numerous reasons.
Reason 1: the box caught my eye at a Blockbuster (Though at that time, I though Zelos was a woman. XS) Reason 2: Alan Solivan A.K.A Mr. OMA from fireball20xl.com make a 4koma that seemed pretty interesting (it was making fun of the fact that Lloyd was voiced by the same guy as Robin from Teen Titans) Reason 3: My friend kept going on and on about it, so I decided to borrow it from him where I instantly loved it.
//for reason 2: it wasn't a 4koma, but it was a side comic made by the guy non-the-less.

Regardless, I'll have to finish it eventually. That 'angel' storyline still has me hooked; though I expect now that the tables have turned, it'll start shooting for cliches and predictability again. As far as the trailer is concerned, it was more like Trigun with swordplay. Obviously, it's not a good idea to go into this game expecting Trigun. If Abyss really is much better, though, I'll give that a shot sometime. I almost got the Vesparia LE buuut... well I didn't like Symphonia enough. XD Obviously if I'm expecting more of the same, I'll be content with what I have, if it's not good enough.
