[edit] Game themes
I think this page should summarize the usual themes used within the Tales series, such as the discrimination against half-elves, ambuigity, and all of the mythology it normally draws inspiritation from.
[edit] Page Reorganization
I would like to overhaul this page. Much of the discussion about the battle system ought to be on the dedicated Linear Motion Battle System page, while the battle system description here will be reduced to a generic description. In its place there should be a description of the general concept and typical attributes of Tales games (may include details of evolution). Also the games list will be extended with the full release dates (what date scheme should I use? yyyy-mm-dd?) and the developers. Any objections? 82.135.65.150 14:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Older Discussion
What about the Narikiri Dungeon games for "Tales of the World"? The first was a GB game.. it was kinda weak, IMO. But ND2 (for the GBA) had most of the party characters from ToP/ToE and I think ToD (haven't played this, so I'm not sure) making cameo appearances... I think it was somewhere about 20 or 25 different characters in total.
Since the game was based on collecting different suits to turn into different characters (think transformation masks in LoZ:Majora's Mask.. there were approx 200 suits, "gotta catch 'em all"-style), and you could earn the suits of all the cameos and play as them (the battle music even changed to the same as from the game the character came form, and you got to use their trademark moves).
Those games should be added to this list, but I don't really know their release dates or much about them (I had to play only a partially-translated ND2, but it still quite fun; recommended). alexpenev 13:49, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Yeah, I've added those games, but they go in the Spin off group. As I don't have much information about these games, I can't really add anything more than the titles and dates. Its unlikely that English wikipedia pages for all the games would be created or have enough information in them to justify creating them. I was wondering though about the italics. Why was that added? I'm sure its some thing that you do in writing, but I just don't know. (Edit 2: found out why it's done - hurrah)
Sometime, I'll be adding more information about the series in general and hopefully to get big enough for an automatic Table of Contents and to justify removing the stub :) (Edit: Sorry for not signing this.. just found out now how to :P) PKFC
So I put in tables because I don't know how to indent... With Wiki code, I don't think tables are that complicated or bloated in the entry's text. I figure <nowiki>s and s are more complicated than the tables... But I'm a bad person for not knowing how to indent. If you feel up to the task of improving the page, go for it. :P PKFC 12:31, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
So March 3 is the release date for the Eternia PSP port and Tales of Legendia IS Tales of Melfes. First dawned on me when reading magic-box's summary talking about an ancient race in Legendia called Melfes and confirmed it elsewhere. The PSP preorder disc that came with Rebirth was just an ad for a PS2 game, not for a PSP game :P PKFC 00:36, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Symphonia is missing from the "Tales series" navigation menu at the bottom of this page and all of the individual games' pages.
