Incredible land, a new "tale" begins...
Well acclaimed since the release of the first work of the series in December 1995, the highly popular "Tales" series is finally coming up with a new installment.
In this game, the traditional LMBS (Linear Motion Battle System) has evolved into a more vibrant X-LMBS (Crossover LMBS)! In addition, the "windowed conversation" has been enhanced with new elements, displaying the activeness of the new work to seek new ground. Up until now, character design has been taken charge by "Kosuke Fujishima" and "Mutsumi Inomata", but now "Kazuto Nakazawa" of international fame has been tasked with this job. With this breath of freshness and charm, as well as the differences with other games of the "Tales" series, you should definitely give it a try!
In this new work, action elements found in fighting games like "Tekken" are introduced into the "LMBS (Linear Motion Battle System)" to form an even more complete and evolved "X-LMS (Crossover-LMBS)".
Besides the classical use of TP (Technical Point) in the series to execute special as well as secret moves, new "throw" actions are introduced to make battles more varied. To execute these new moves, one has to get up close to the enemy. Upon successful execution, the damage inflicted and the sense of satisfaction derived are unmatched by other moves.
A "Climax Combo" is performed for simultaneous attacks with other party members! With four party members putting their hearts into pummeling the enemy, the power and pressure created is definitely unmatched by solo attacks, and the graphical effects are also quite impressive!
The use of deluxe voice casting crew, accentuated in the day-today conversations of the characters in the "windowed conversation", is one of the most charming points of "Legendia". In this work, this system is further introduced into events, allowing you to listen to advice dished out by party members as the event unfolds, and enjoy the rich and varied plot developments through the conversations. Not only the main characters will make their appearances in this system, but even sub-characters or even enemy characters will have exciting performances!
When exploring dungeons, it is no longer just about defeating monsters and gaining experience, but there will be many fascinating and wonderful traps and triggers waiting for you! The player's wit will be tested here.
新規巨大プロジェクトチーム「MelFes（メルフェス）」が数年の歳月を費やした今作の『レジェンディア』は、丁寧に作りこまれた幻想的かつ、暖かみのあるフル3Dグラフィックの実現、そして躍動感溢れるダイナミックな戦闘システムを搭載するなど、シリーズならではの魅力を継承しながらも、全てにおいて高みを目指しています。
そして、今作より起用された“中澤一登”先生の手によるキャラクターたちの新鮮な魅力は、『テイルズ オブ』シリーズに新たな伝説が幕を開けるでしょう！

Sub-par
From all the home console Tales of games, I can easily say that this is the worst one.
After Tales of Symphonia it went several steps backward, it tried to cater more to the people that loved games like Tales of Destiny, but the combat system was not even near as good... and one of the worst aspects of this game... they removed the multiplayer.
Just from those simple facts you can see it not even near as good as the usual Tales of game, still, its a nice collectors item for the price it has now.

The Black Sheep
Legendia was considered the black sheep of the Tales series. Many disliked it due to the simple battle system when compared to some of the games like Tales of Abyss or Symphonia.
Personally, I've considered Legendia a hidden gem if you decided to give this game a chance. The music and characters are easily one of the best in the series.

A Different Yet Satisfying Tales Experience
Fans of other Tales games may be turned off when they hear that a different team was responsible for Legendia, but don't let that stop you from enjoying it. Legendia still has a lot to offer.
The visual style has its ups and downs. I like cutesy character designs, but sometimes it felt like they tried to fit too much detail into these smaller proportioned characters. It's still pleasing to look at though. An upside though is that the skit scenes use full bodied anime images, rather than just predominantly portraits (ToS and TotA). The high point of the visuals are the backgrounds and environments. They are very lush, colorful, and full of detail. In some buildings, it felt like I was looking into a real-life doll house.
My first impression of the battle system in Legendia was that it was much slower-paced than in other tales games. You fight on a 2-D axis, so no rotation like in ToS. It can get a little visually hectic at times, with all characters on the same plane, frequently overlapping each other, but I got accustomed to it as I played more.
Musically, the game is very enjoyable. There is no Sakuraba, but I still enjoyed the music. The battle themes may not have been favorites, but those played when running around the world seemed to fit the environments well.
Overall, fans of the more recent Tales games may not find the same enjoyment as in Symphonia or Abyss, but that doesn't mean it is a bad game.

Mediocre and Melodramatic
While it has fantastic music and good voice acting, most everything else about the game you can find elsewhere and better. Assuming you are wanting to play a "Tales of" game, there is no reason to own this game when you can buy the latest installment, Tales of Vesperia, instead.

A Legendary Adventure
This game has many flaws. Firstly, the game uses the regular Linear Motion Battle System with no new invention… except Senel’s ability to throw stuff. In addition, it does not support multiplayerability. Many of the spells that look awesome in other Tales of games look weak in Tales of Legendia. For example, the spell “Indignation” looks like a small bolt of lightning instead of a massive crashing lightning bolt that fills up the screen.
Also, the first half of the story is simply “save the girl that gets kidnapped,” which isn’t very exciting. However, Tales of Legendia does have many strong points.
The game’s soundtrack is excellently orchestrated, unlike the soundtracks of other games in the series. Also, it is composed by Go Shina instead of the usual group of Motoi Sakuraba, Shinji Tamura, and a guest.
The characters are also very original(except Shirley, who is kidnapped for half of the game). My favorite characters to play were Senel, Chloe, and Moses. The characters of Tales of Legendia probably have the most original weapons. Senel uses fists, Chloe is a sword wielding female, Moses uses sticks, Norma uses straws, Will uses hammers, Shirley uses quills, and Grune uses jars… and I forgot what Jay used. The characters have unique personalities. Moses and Norma are really funny.
I really liked the voice acting in Tales of Legendia, although the voiced scenes only last for half the game.
The graphics are really good. They’re cel-shaded.
Overall this game was enjoyable, but could have been more fun with multiplayer options.

Youre either going to love it or hate it
Legendia...a mixed bag really.Some of its great, yet some of its not. However, I love it.I think its a great game with a decent sense of humour.The battle system has a few flaws but you can quite easily overlook those flaws and get the full enjoyment out of it.The characters are interesting and full of personality, one of the games strong points. Now, for the bad.The character quests.Youd think they would provide hours of fun and make an interesting extension.At least at first anyway.They begin to lag on a bit once you get to Chloe's story.It feels like your watching a 24 hour special of Lost. Hurrah.Then theres Norma's voice.So bouncey...so lively...its to much.The unoriginal dungeons,the plain 'adventure field',those otters that play a too big a part in the game...Dont get me wrong, these flaws are easy to overlook, but when you think about it...
Altogether,I think this is a decent breath of fresh air for the tales series and that any tales or RPG fan should get a good 60 hours of fun out of it.

Legendia tales
An Entertaining and fairly Fun RPG Game with a lot of humor and enjoyment to be had
Tales of Legendia involves a story of Senel Coolidge and his ""Sister"" Shirley being washed up onboard an island refered to as the Legacy, when they arrive they meet new people and their story begins
The Main Quest is Split up into 7 chapters, and the length of the game is around 30hrs in length, all the characters are voiced during the main quest
The Game will remind you a lot of Tales of Symphonia in terms of the graphic style, the load times are fairly good, and the battle system is good too, all the Skits are voiced.
After completing the main game, you will have to do the "Character" quests(another 7 chapters) which essentially leads off directly after the end of the game, you will have to do these in order to get the complete ending and to access the grade shop... character quests mostly involve going to the same areas you"ve already visted, fighting certain enemys and finding more out about the characters, their is a character quest for each character, also its worth noting that the Character quest does not have any Voice acting asides from "the bantam bouncer song" and it contains one cutscene or so per character.
the game has various anime cutscenes at different points in the game... asides from the many flaws the game may have, like the lack of different enemys and some of the areas in chapter 6 are the same just "changed" per say(wont say because itl spoil but youl see what i mean)
great battle system of course
i would rate the game a 8 out of 10 , not great but a good play.

Very good in many aspects!
Well, I played all the Tales of Games (except "TotA", what I'll buy here soon) and because it's 3D I didn't expect that much first. Well, I love it. The Story is very complex and nice, the tri-linear system is absolutely genious and the battle system rocks (except the little bug...)

How Many Tales?
At first, i didnt expect this game to live up to its 2D counter parts. Seeing as it was hot and heavy on the heels of Tales of Rebirth, i wasnt expecting a lot from this game. Another reason is because it's 3D. I love the "Tales of" series because it's one of the few RPG series that is (was) primarily 2D. Tales of Legendia surprised me with its gameplay mechanics and overall battle fluidity.
Legendia does away with the "Tri-Linear" system that was used in Rebirth and goes back to just one plane of action. I actually enjoyed the complexity the Tri-Linear system put into the battle system, allowing you to win battles without taking any damage. Over all i felt the story for this game was a little weak as well. I'm a sucker for a good story with a little romance and action. with all that being said, this game didnt make me feel as "Bad-Ass" as Tales of Rebirth did. The item customization in Rebirth was great, and it's something i miss. Legendia is still a good game, but it seems like a step down in terms fo gameplay, over all mechanics, and story when compared to Rebirth. Graphics wise, i woudl rather 2D, but that's just preference. This is still a great game, so i HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to all Tales fans and Import RPG'ers in general. I'm just saying, if had the choice, i would pick Tales of Rebirth.
