Sarah Wrote:Haha, Abyss was my favourite as well. Really good story, fleshed out characters with really good development and nice story pacing. Battle system was great (but Star Ocean still beats it) and there was a lot of extras. Awesome game. The original Symphonia was really bad as far as I'm concerned (though Isaac has argued the opposite with me several times before) so it's not like I'm going in with high expectations. Care to elaborate a little further (if you've got the time and will to write it, I'd even read an entire essay breaking it down)
About FFCC... the first one on the GC was brutal. Then the one on the DS had enough major changes that made it tolerable as a game, though nothing noteworthy. Which are the two wii ones more comparable to?
(No spoilers)
Well... unfortunately I don't have such will power to write that much on it. I'll put it as simply as I can. Sure they had some great ideas with the inclusion of the monsters you get bring in to battle... but honestly, that was about it for me. The rest of the story was... either confusing or not entertaining... (big wtp Lloyd moments). I mean, sure other Tales games had confusing stories at first, but by the end of the game it becomes resolved and you think back... that was a cool/nice story. In this one... It felt like a waste to finish the game the first time and an even bigger waste to try it a second time around.
Also, Echoes of Time for the wii is exactly like the DS version of echoes of time... actually it IS the DS version ported over to the wii (complete with the two screens but they're placed side by side instead of top/bot.
I haven't played the other (more recent) FFCC for the wii, but I'm thinking of getting it if the price for it ever drops below 30.
