While the story does seem to be fairly cliché, halfway through the game the story really kicks off and it spins a web of lies and deceit that will have you hooked until the end, but it’s the characters themselves that really drives the story forward. One of your closest friends was born as the next chosen and you set out with her along with several other people on this journey to save the world. You take control of Lloyd Irving, a dim-witted yet earnest individual.

The angels, servants of the Goddess Martel, thus gave birth to a chosen human who will journey out into Sylvarant to regenerate the world and save humanity. The war depleted the Mana supply thus causing the tree to wither and die. This limitless flow of mana however gave rise to magi-technology which caused a great war to break out.

The game takes place in a world known as Sylvarant where its land and people are sustained by an energy force known as mana provided by a giant tree. Now after many years and many ‘Tales of’ games later, I finally have a chance to see where it began with an HD remaster consisting of not only of the original Tales of Symphonia but it’s Wii sequel as well all on one disc.

This was supposedly the game that really put the series on the map and laid the foundation for the 3D games to follow. I never really had a GameCube growing up so I missed out on a few awesome games. But there are some games that have eluded me over the years. From Chaos Rings on my mobile phone to Valkyria Chronicles on PlayStation 3, I just can’t get enough of them.

Every single platform I own I have a JRPG in my collection of games. My phone is filled with JRPG battle themes and there was a point in my life when all I could play were JRPGS.
