Under the onslaught of these evil forces, a special substance in people's hearts, spiria gets contaminated.
The only thing to counter the monsters is Soma, hidden within the Spire Maze.
All these strives of the land are unknown to the hero, Shing until he rescues a mysterious girl Kohaku from the monsters. Together, the two set off to find the mysterious substance Soma, save the land and find out the truth about the legends.
Amazing game a top NDS JRPG Game Tales of hearts is the one of the best of series, and one of the best games on the NDS System, the battle system is simple amazing, the characters, plus almost every scene in the game is voiced, and the cut scenes are amazing. The game play is so well done, the use of the touch screen in battle, is a great adition. a must have for every tales series fan and for every RPG fan or NDS owner.
Brilliant RPG I came into this game expecting "Oh, just another Tales of" title, however was extremely surprised. Having completely not enjoyed the recent Tales of title for the Wii, the DS game, Tales of Hearts reignited my faith in the series. Similar to Tales of Eternia, in the portable sense on the PSP version, this title is just pure RPG gaming bliss.
Combined with a great story, excellent soundtrack, extremely brilliant and fun battle system, to even excellent visuals including animation, this RPG for the DS comes highly recommended from me.
So what are you waiting for? Knowledge of Japanese or not, checkout this product, and you'll be in for an excellent RPG experience on the DS!
One of the Best This game is really awesome for DS and definitely one of the best among any other DS JRPG. Other than great/enjoyable storyline and gameplay, I would say that Tales of Hearts offers likable heroes and heroines plus amazing, and i would consider the best voice actor team in tales series ever.
Amazing! This game is awesome and very well put together. Its a great game for fans of the tales series and for newcomers alike. Although the game is in japanese and I dont understand it I found it very easy to find a strategy guide to help me understand the plot of the game. The characters are easily likable and the story is great. Also the cut-scenes and animations are beautiful. This game is loads of fun and I highly recommend it.
