| This topic is for the ORIGIONAL Tales of Symphonia discussion.
I only rented the game but I want to know if it is worth it to try and find it at a GameStop, EB Games, or Hollywood Video used games section.
Just for reference, I mainly controlled Genis and my party was usually Genis, Lloyd, Colette, and Raine. | |

| I absolutely loved Tales of Symphonia... IMO, one of th best RPG games ever. My only complaint is that I find it hard to play a second time; I remember the epic plot twists that caught me completely off guard the first time and it kinda ruins the feel for me. | |

| Very cliche and terrible characters as well as the most pathetic and laughable main antagonist in the history of gaming (well maybe I'm exaggerating but he is pretty bad).
Still a decent game though. | |

I still think Yggdrasil was made of fail. He spent the entire game whining about how his friends backstabbed and betrayed him even though he treated them like shit over the past 4000 years. I didn't feel one bit of sympathy for him
That is my stance on the main antagonist of Symphonia anyway. | |

That is my stance on the main antagonist of Symphonia anyway. I lirl'd. That's exactly like going, "WAHHH!! No one ever helps me!!" then "That's because you tell everyone to, 'Fuck off!', when they try.", and of course, "Fuck off!". | |

That's exactly like going, "WAHHH!! No one ever helps me!!" then "That's because you tell everyone to, 'Fuck off!', when they try.", and of course, "Fuck off!". Kinda similar to Shion in Xenosaga Episode III now that I think about it. - Spoiler:
Seriously though, he breaks his pact with Origin, he spends most of the game trying to revive his dead sister so he could have some sort of twisted necrophiliac/incestuous relationship with her (ok I'm exaggerating this part but not by much), he acts like a total prick to Yuan, he kills the wife of Kratos (Kratos thought he also killed his son), he forced Kratos to rejoin him and make him his bitch... he does ALL that.... and then at the end of the game he whines and complains that everyone backstabbed him and he has no friends. All I have to say is "NO FUCKING SHIT!" to that.
He was meant to be a sympathetic villain and you are supposed to feel sorry for him but he didn't get one drop of sympathy for me. Tales of Phantasia pulled off the "sympathetic antagonist" so much better. | |
