Tales of Destiny II was one best and last PS1 RPGs. 0
Tales of Destiny (proper name: Tales of Eternia) was the first Tales of.. game to reach the States. It wasn't a hit, but whoever thought to localize this game thought it was a good idea to release it as Tales of Destiny II so it wouldn't confuse people. In the long run it was a bad idea, as they eventually re-made Tales of Destiny on the PS2 and then gave it a sequel, Tales of Destiny II.

The rules of roleplay apply here as always: The bad guy is out to destroy something, so you and your party are going to stop that. At leas...

Fun Combat, The Rest Ranges From Inept To Anodyne 0
I picked this game up because it was a late-era PS1 game that had a great look to it and had the trappings of a hidden gem - I'm no big Tales fan but I've enjoyed a few here and there.As I play through JRPGs as an adult, with a more complete understanding of what even semi-competent writing and game pacing is, I find "classic" JRPGs I (re)visit tend fall into one of two camps - truly stellar on all fronts and well-deserving of praise, or mildly entertaining in a mechanistic sense with excruciat...
