man i can't wait for this one to come out, i'm still pissed with namco for not releasing tales of destiny 2 in NTSC us or in PAL Mad

heck they didn't release tales of semphonia on the ps2 in the us although they released it on gamecube..

edit: ign review http://ps2.ign.com/articles/738/738517p1.html

the score is not bad, they even praise the voice cast..

Although I only got about 3+ hours of play time on this game before the PS2 (I borrowed my friends) started having that "Disc read error" syndrome, I'd say I'm satisfied so far.

Within those 3 hours, I was at least able to get a little bit of good depth of facts on the game plot and for each playable character in ToA (except Natalia, because I haven't encountered her yet). One of my many favorite facts about the characters is the amazing Guy and his amazing gynophobia (his fear of women).

Now if only that PS2 would work...

i think that i read about natalia being engaged to luke somewhere, i havn't reached her either but i like how her character looks, i'm still at the spot where tear gets herself injured while shielding luke, shortly after guy joines, his women phobia is hilarious, i really felt bad for jade
how they busted him from lv 40+ to lv 5, i was suprised by that..

eyesotope - Oh yea, I noticed Jade's huge different in levels as soon as he joined our party (at first I was wondering why he was slaughtering everything with damages going in the hundreds, yeesh)

holy - That game never hit US, so I'd rather not waste my time trying to get it.

yeah when jade joined the party i thought that he will join only temporarily and then leave to return to the party much later into the game, but the way they handled it was much better than my pridictions, i love it when a game suprises me like that..

It's just like the Symphonia Tales. There's a Grade shop and you can restart your game with many abilities depending on what you bought on the shop (and if you had enough Grade to buy it ^^).

thanks darksword, so it's the same as symphonia was? as for grades they shouldn't be a problem if you level yourself a lot..
