Tales of Destiny Remake is OUT!!
Perfect example that an Rpg doesnt need "Next-gen" graphics to look cool as hell, these ouigies are just artistically mind blowing.
Finally a Tales worth being called tales, it had been a long time we had a good one since rebirth, though Abyss did a good work, The real hardcore tales are those Hardcore 2D fighters like Eternia, the bad news its not coming to america, meh.. who cares? I can still import it and Learn japanese/Use a Translation FAQ/Ask in forums, Symphonia fans dont know what they are losing.. I hate their excuses, its either "Ps2 sucks", "I dont know Japanese" or "ToS is still better", these guys are SO ADDICTED to freaking Tales of symphonia they just keep finishing for more than 8 times, get to lv255 and beat abyss till their eyes bleed, they think its the best RPG ever, yet, they dont give a DAMN about other tales games apart from symphonia, I just cant freaking understand it, I played Symphonia too, Loved presea and Zelos, got their paths, beat it in on Maniac like 2 times.. whatever, MOVE ON.

(Stahn has a pretty aggresive fighting style, covered in flames created by his swordian Dymlos, one of his attacks resembles a beast, While Leon has a much more perfected style of fine slashes, In the old version, Leon only used his swordian Chaltier, in this one, he also packs a Knife on its other hand, giving him a much more original style than the rest of the cast, We who played ToDj2 know the real reason though.)
But thats not the point.. as some of you guys may remember, Tales of destiny for Ps1 was the most outdated tales ever, and Ironically one of the most populars in japan, its sequel became a best seller, and Phantasia had a crapload of remakes (the lastest is a PsP full-voice one lol) from all the tales, Destiny was the hardest to play for its crappy battle system, but had pretty damn good puzzles, music and originality in its dungeons, not to mention the story had a sting of originality here and there, Oberon corp guys are the best bunch of bad guys I have seen in long time, its amazing the difference between this one and its following in the series: Eternia, which is one of the best ones so far.
Fans who dared to play Ps1 Destiny will orgasm with finally being able to use Stahn or Leon the way they should have, with ougies comparable to the legendary ToD2j or Rebirth ones, or skit-talks to have their favorite characters more charismatic than ever, this is an amazing tales to the series.

(Johnny Kicking ass, "WAAAOOOO" )
Gameplay from the other side, seems like another addicting system, since they added some kind of aerial combo system I have yet to test, and the ENCHATS ARE BACK OH YEAH (enchants are modyfing your special attacks like Demon fang, so you can poison the enemy, regen more sp or cancel it into other attacks), and Barbatos, if anyone remembers, rapes your team If you start to grind on the fields, TAKE THAT GRINDERS LOL.
another nice detail is the fact that the Talking Swordians now get their deserved screens of their human forms, so you get a better idea that these where actual people.
I still cant believe we are getting a remake of this game, I just remembered how I enjoyed all of the game, it had so amazing characters, Mary had such an interesting background.. Leon was so sad... even Johnny is hell interesting when he joins you.. and yet.. its gonna be so damn ignored in america.. this game simply doesnt deserve it...

(Ignetos, Clemente and Atwight talking, All of them, swordians)

( Hope they give a better role to Marian this time... )

(Exploring the Aethersphere was one of the best Rpg experiences Ive ever had, hope they keep the original themes remixed..)'

(My favorite character: Woodrow on the left, his swordian is Ignetos, a wind user, His first ougi on the video, is a cameo of Kyles Souhajin ougi on ToD2j, while his second one, is a remake of his legendary last move in the old Ps1 version, he also seems to have ditched his bow skills and focus on only Wind sword skills to give Chelsea more originality: Pure awesomenes.)
