    Default "Star Ocean" or "Tales of-" series?

    I've only played Star Ocean 3 and Tales of Symphonia but I thought they were both good. I thought Star Ocean was better in graphics, Music and Battle system but I still think theyre both great games. I was looking at screens for tales of abyss and I think it looks brilliant. Which series do YOU prefer?

    Why do I have to pick?

    If I must, I'd pick the Tales series. I love both series, but Tales of Phantasia tips the scales in my book.

    Now, if you pitted Wolf Team against Tri-Ace, I'd have to reconsider.

    I didn't care for SO2... but I haven't played any Tales games other than Symphonia. I worship SOTET and TOS, so i can't choose.

    I haven't played much of the Tales series (I'm still looking for a Japanese Tales of Symphonia copy for my PS2), but from what I could see, it is pretty good, but I'm gonna have to pick Star Ocean.

    Tales of Symphonia's battle system was much better than Star Ocean 3's, with the exception of it being 2D. I don't see what people saw in Star Ocean 2, either--I thought it was an average-at-best RPG. Star Ocean 1, however, was fabulous, but from what little of Tales of Phantasia I've played, I think it's better. So probably the Tales series.

    I thought SO3's battle system was far better than tales of symphonia. ToS's system seemed like a kiddy version of the SO3 system.
