That's why they can't think these things in advance. Also, Tales characters are cliche Anime losers (most of them), that's one of the many reasons I'm not exactly that warm to the series despite it's great combat system.<br />Now we await for Tales of the Stripper, that promises hot half naked babes only for Namco to throw in Penelope Pitstop type prudes instead!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268660459652553228.post-58841077582899410672018-04-19T13:45:54.377-07:002018-04-19T13:45:54.377-07:00Thanks for putting it on my radar, by the way!

The frequency of this resonance is pi because reasons. It would be one of at least seven so-called gods provided people attuned closely enough to interact with them were present in the story. For all Lorelei's prestige, it is utterly powerless.<br /><br />The Score is a possible future foreseen by some prophet named Yulia. That it's a possible future of many with a bad ending is not the first sentence of this prophecy, and said prophecy is so tl;dr reading it all will literally fucking kill you. A legendary fail for which Yulia is kind of a bitch.Ecclesiastesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268660459652553228.post-18577354408496708042018-04-18T19:08:02.486-07:002018-04-18T19:08:02.486-07:00Regarding the games I have played
Tales of Eterni...Regarding the games I have played<br /><br />Tales of Eternia: the game's world (more specifically, the combination of worlds) is named Eternia. It's not a creative name, but it means no other game in the series fits the name more I guess. The world's name is also mentioned from time to time by the characters.<br /><br />Tales of the Tempest: one of the two strongest spells in the game is named Tempest, aside from that I don't remember seeing anything to do with tempests in the game.<br /><br />Tales of Innocence: the game's world is called Innocence. However, unlike Tales of Eternia, I don't remember that being mentioned in-game and I only got to know that when I read a wiki after finishing the game. Which means that it was pretty irrelevant, if it was even mentioned in-game at all. Dunno if Tales of Innocence R changes that a bit.<br /><br />Tales of Phantasia, Destiny, Symphonia, Legendia and Abyss: agreed with you.<br /><br />Tales of Hearts: I haven't played this one, but I know that the female lead's full name is Kohaku Hearts and that a good part of the plot involves "fixing her heart". So I would say this too is the game that fits the title the most.<br /><br /><br />By the way, Eternia is my favorite game in the series so far. Although that's mostly due to gameplay and nostagia reasons.Elmnoreply@blogger.com
