Lloyd and his friends escort a girl named Colette on a pilgrimage to save their dying world, only to find things aren't so simple. Its real-time combat and team bonds made it many Western players' first Tales game.
Kit's verdict · 8.3/10
A colorful action RPG with a big heart and a bigger cast.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Fun real-time combat with combos and team skills
- Great twists and a likeable crew
- Lots of side content
Not so much
- Slow early chapters
- The 2023 remaster is a sloppy port
Play it if fans of anime-style adventures with action combat.
Skip it if players who want a gritty, adult story.
