Tales of Symphonia ...

Still a decent game so far; since the game boasts about 80 hours of gameplay, and so far I'm close to 40, I wonder if it really is that long. When Dragon Warrior VII said 100 hours of gameplay, they weren't kidding.

ToS will take around 80 hours if you decide to complete the game 100% and get all the items and weapons and side stuff. Otherwise a regular runthrough is probably aropund 50 hours.

Just finished it last night. I liked the clever twist in the ending. It's really not that bad of a game; RPGamer certainly didn't give it a very high rating, and to be honest, I'm not gonna go all out and say stuff like "OMFG TEH BEST GAME EVAR". Totally is hurting in the originality department, but other than that, if you haven't played Star Ocean 2 or Chrono Cross then it'll be a great experience.

Here are my stats for beating the game twice

Common Data
Max Play Time: 80h 20m 11s
Max Gald: 114,878
Total Gald Used: 678,504
Saves: 110
Game Cleared: 2

Battle Data
Encounters: 862
Escapes: 54
Max Combo: 57(I suck)
Max Damage: 10764
Max Grade 2744

Everything is combinded stuff except for Max combo, Max Grade and Max damage...DUH!

Took about 32 hours or less the second time through where it took me about 20 minutes over 40 the first time through(The numbers don't add up to my total because I left my console on or fell asleep while playing and added tons of non-play-time time to the game ).

Darn, I forgot to write down the stats from the first time through...oh well.

I just started my second game with 2x Experience, More Grade, and all the Item and Monster collections transfered over. It will take me aprox. 3 times through to get all the titles for everyone, and to get all the items because

(SPOILER)During the Flanoir Event you can either get Colette's Snow Hare, Kratos' Locket, or Zelos' Cruxis Crystal.

I'm doing ok in this game. I'm having problems with the Wind boss after I did the water boss.

[StarlightAngel]

I think I skipped something so I have to go back before I can go to Palma Costa. I know a lot about what happens tho because I have helped my brother on his log.

[Shadow8017]

It's a fairly new RPG for the GC ( that's right the GC ) has anyone played it? I'm having trouble in this early bossfight so speak up if you have ...

[White Raven]

T'iss a great game. I'm just aboot half way through my second time, and still not sick of it yet.

I love Tales Of Symphonia! It's so much fun!

I finally beat it! It took almost exactly a month but I'm glad I beat it. Lately I've been getting about halfway through games and never playing them again (like FFX-2)

My stats for one play through (and I play to go through again):

Max play time: 45h 05m 48s
Max Gald: 518,784
Total Gald Used: 517,610
Saves: 269 (apparently I save way more often than you guys)
Games Cleared: 1
Encounters: 1032
Escapes: 1 (hmm, don't remember when I did it, oh well)
Max Combo: 75 (It was like 48 until the final boss. I hadn't figured out good ways of comboing, but now I have, so I hope to do better the second time through.)
Max Damage: 13746
Max Grade 1438

I never did figure out grade. I almost always seemed to lose grade on boss fights.

I was sort of disappointed by the ending. But overall, it was a fantastic game, better than any of the Final Fantasy's made after VII in my opinion.

I just bought this game a few days ago and I mind as well dump my data here for my first time around.

Max Play Time: 44h, 11m, 27s
Max Gald: 153,875
Total Gald Used: 337,157
Saves: 172 (It felt like I had more )
Game Cleared: 1

Encounters: 627
Escapes: 4
Max Combo: 48
Max Damage: 10,571
Max Grade: 1308

I hope I can bring myself for at least another game. I really rushed the last few parts of the game for no reason.
