The out of world experiance!

To be honest before picking up the title i wasn't really sure i want to play it. I thought of discarding the idea of not playing it for some unknown reasons, but soon after taking the risk and picking it up i realised how wrong i were!

The gameplay style might be simiular to that one of Tales of Phantasia, but is definetly faster and its easier to string better and longer combos. The summoning system got its own special desing instead of just bein artes. Spending some time combining spirit caches u can conjucture a great number of elemental artes with final of summoning the spirit itself!

The story line of the game might seem to be simple at first, and actually might be like that for the whole game, but it isn't definetly a drawback. The feeling of epicness and the final boss battle really are something u will remember for long.

But those arent the main pluses of the game.
Tales of Eternia might have the highest optional dungeon count in whole tales of series! Ive spend many hours doing those, and other side quests linked with characters and weapons before taking on the challange of the boss himself... and theres even and EX dungeon too in which harder challanges await!

Lastly one of the things i noticed while playing, is that a somehow really enjoyed the citys of Eternia. Those really felt like a place where people live, and where u can do something more than just buy stuff and sleep in the inn. There are funny side events in inns, theatre play, mini games, casinos and many more... be sure to stay in them longer!
