loved the game. was super hard. i played with my friend and we dominated... haha i dont even kno japanese and i still beat it. used a walkthrough tho... favorite game for ps2 so far

Best Tales game ever? Thats going a tad to far but its still an excellent remake.
Im going to make this short but sweet so listen up...
GOOD
> Much better than the oringial, improving on every aspect of it.
> Deeper, more interesting characters
> Completey altered script and some story changes.
> Bosses and some enemies are hard
> Revamped battle system that breathes new life into the Tales series.
> Detailed graphics and 2D spirites with more imagination than previous Tales games.
> Challenging puzzles
> Not as frustrating as the original
> Import friendly. Thats the best thing.
BAD
>Not as frustrating, but in certain areas you may be driven close to insanity. Like the original.
> The bit with the Aethersphere is still as boring as ever.
> The battle system can take some time to get used too. (Put your characters on Auto for one battle. You will cry when you see how skilled Stahn is compared to you.)
>Demands leveling up in certain areas, but this doesnt happen very often.
>Some enemies are really REALLY annoying.
IN CONCLUSION...
Its an amazing Tales game that will sit with your favourite games for ages and ages...but I still think Rebirth is the best tales game. But personal opinions aside, this is a huge leap forward for the Tales series and is worth your hard earned money.

The Definition of Remake.
This game is awesome beyond words. Hardly any loading times, lovable characters, and fast paced battles makes Tales of Destiny one of the best in the series ever. If you thought Tales of the Abyss' battle system and difficulty was great, wait till you play this. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone that is a fan of the Tales series.

This is What the REMAKE should be!!!
hey, i enjoyed this game more than 5 years ago by its original title in ps1(tales of destiny), and this is a remake and this is a remake to which other remakes must be compared. this is greatly advanced with graphics, voices of characters embedded in the game, and runs smoothly! buy now and enjoy it!

Amazing!
ToD reinvented! This is what remakes should be. Incredible game, go buy it now. :)

Perhaps the best Tales yet.
Seriously. It looks and feels like Rebirth, save the fact that there is no trilinear battle system. AR-LMBS fighting is ridiculously fun. It's already much faster than ToD2, which says much. If you enjoy RPGs, Tales games, or just video games in general, this is worth your time. It's also very import friendly since you can go back and play the original. Heed my words, Tales of Destiny is brilliant. :)

BEST TALES GAME EVER (YASHIRO SHOULD KNOW THAT) LOL
everything in the game is remake i mean it if any one played all tales games he will know that this tales the best one ever , for me this game must have game lol

Buy It Now!
Just got this game in a few days ago. Simply astounding remake of a PSX classic. I loved the first Tales of Destiny, and when i played Tales of Rebirth for PS2 in all it's high-res 2D glory, i said to myself "Damn, they should remake Tales of Destiny like this". Lo and Behold, they did and i couldnt be happier. I love 2D games. Awesome voice acting in this and the battle system has been revamped and is about 5 x's more fun than before. they kept the original PSX opening that plays after the prologue of the game, however they did clean it up so it looks great and fits very well with the new look of the game.

The new battle system is sweet too. The new one is called the Arial Linear Battle System (AR-LBS). It lets you do some pretty fantasic combos on air-born opponents from what i can tell so far. There is also a new feature called Burst Calibur which seems to serve as Hi-Ougis for the game. The cool thing about the battle system is they got rid of the TP points, so you can use your moves as much as you like in battle. Techs now work off things called CC points that replenish after you execute an attack. Example,say you start the fight with 2 CC and you execute 2 attacks and use those 2 CC. About a second later, you get 3 CC back and you can do a combo string that uses 3 CC. Then you use those 3 CC and you will get 4 in return. Apparently the weapon limits the number of CC you have so it makes you try out different weapons. The good news is you can customize your Swordians this time and give them points in different parameters. Over all i'm very pleased with this remake. I'm sure there is virtually no chance of this coming statside.. if this does i'll be really surprised since ToRebirth didnt make it here nor did Tales of Destiny 2. Ah well, glad i learned a little Japanese :)

Thank you again Play-Asia, you are an importer best friend! /bow
