I was torn between using my default Sakura pic or my Mint pic but considering what I'm posting about, Mint feels more appropriate.
Well, I'll let this start it off.
So, I actually did start it and I'm playing it when I'm not working on Halo 4 or something. The same PS1 I used to run my import PS1 Tales of Phantasia is now running the one English fan translation of the game I waited 10 years for (yeah, I skipped the other one).
Yeah, you can tell me how certain, later Tales casts and story are so much better due to depth and all that other stuff. Maybe I can't give a good reason why I would choose Phantasia over, say, Abyss. It'll feel as futile as trying to justify the story in a James Bond movie (yeah, I probably said that because I just happen to have a James Bond game sitting in that Nintendo 64 of mine). The truth of the matter is that Tales of Phantasia still matters to me. Estelle will still have to deal with being tied with Mint as a favorite girl in the Tales series (and Arche being behind her) and I still think highly of Cless Alvein.
I'm glad I haven't grown cynical to the point that I can't enjoy this. I guess that scene where Mint brings a blanket to a Cless sleeping on the ground and covers him up still warms my heart.
