I played Symphonia about 10ish years ago for the first time, it has long been one of my all time favourite games, I love the action style battle system, and the skits were great fun.

I played it again about 3 months ago and still feel it was a great game worthy of my original appraisal. As for my favourite tales game? The went to Tales of Graces F, I played through that game (Hard, Evil then Chaos) 3 times in a row just on the basis of the combat system was tremendously addictive.
