Who uses his spells? Except to cancel lag or occasionally heal, I mean. Super Chain ALLLLL DAIIIIIIII.
Marta super chains FAR better than Zelos. I mean, Add Combo 1, Add Combo 2, Ability Plus 1, Speed Cast 1, Speed Cast 2, Speed Cast 3, two Mystic Symbols, and Accelerate FTW!
Favorite Characters: Lloyd Irving, Estelle, Yuri Lowell, Raven, Zelos, Collete Brunel and Judith (in no particular order)
OH MY EFFING GOD YOUR AVATAR IS COLETTE HOLY CREP I LOVE COLETTE
I've only played two Tales of games so far - Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the Abyss. I enjoyed both but I prefer TotA. My favourite characters are Jade Curtiss, Guy Cecil, Raine Sage and Colette Brunel (obviously). Kratos is TEH OVERRATED. HE WILL DIE IN A POOL OF BLOOD MAGICALLY CREATED BY RAINE SAGE.
Actually, a while back, I did a Colette costume, but I didn't take any photos... and it's gone. Oh well, it was fun. Brunette Colette... Item Thiefing people in real life was so much damn fun.
If I could cosplay as a Symphonia character, it'd be Lloyd. Unfortunately I don't have the patience to learn or to try to make a costume. =(
Actually, I just made the thing that goes over Colette's shirt, and added purple cuffs. I know, it's lazy, but hey, I don't have enough money to make it from scratch.
I don't understand why people hate Colette. I was a beast with Colette when I went through Symphonia. Also a spammer... but a spamming beast. I really didn't like using any other character besides Lloyd. Persea was probably the worst character to control - she felt so heavy to use.
Well, if Presea controls anything like Ike does in SSBB, I would LOVE playing as Presea.
Kratos IS overrated. His combos don't even look good! I mean, come on, TWO basic attack animations? When the basic combo is THREE hits? Really?
And actually, that pool of blood would have to be created by Richter, because he knows Negative Gate and Bloody Howling.
And your Colette couldn't POSSIBLY be as spammy as ANYBODY'S Emil Castagnier in the second ToS. I mean, like, Accelerate, anybody?
"Blade Fury! Blade Fury! Sword Rain Alpha! Blade Fury! Blade Fury! Sword Rain Alpha! Blade Fury! Blade Fury! Sword Rain Alpha!" etc.
I play a spammy Marta in ToS2 as well. I mean, my basic combo goes: AAAAAA -> Roaring Phoenix -> Tempest Swallow. And I use that same combo ALL THE TIME. Whenever I get an opportunity, I add a Unison Attack on the end.
I don't really "hate" Collete, and her actual fighting skills can be pretty good, but she is WAY ditsy.
:Sweat: :Jupiter: Colette is a total ditz. That's why I like her.
...but Kratos fangirls are scary. I know one in real life ._.
Blaze... your avi as adorable. Even if I've not experience with ToS, I approve.
Thanks. I wish I could figure out how to get the white background to go away though. =(
These games seem interesting... How long have they been available to the public for?
Also, for removing the white background... You need to have the image in a GIF format, and you need to restrict the palette limit to at least 256 colours, instead of 16 million. A program like Photoshop or Psuit can help as well.
Have a nice day.
Oh, that's easy. Open it in Paint.NET, use the magic wand tool, select the white background, press delete, SAVE AS .PNG (won't work if you use .jpg!), and voila, done.

^DO WANT.
Tales of Symphonia (gamecube only) is up there in the best RPG ever category for me...
Kratos is the man and I always get Zelos killed of so I can get meh Kratos end game
Tales of Eneternia is also another great game, i played the PSP version but it was originally a JPN PSX game
I wanna get ahold of the PS2 version... apparently it had extra stuff that the GC version didn't have. But I've got a baaaad feeling it was Japan only...
I think I know someone with a copy, but she said there were compatibility issues, so you can't play it unless you have a Japanese PS2.
Ah, it is Japan only. That sucks. Why do the superior versions never get localized? >_>
Now I've got no ToV, because Xbox's reliability sucks. I've got no ToS, because I have no room for a wii (not in my home nor my budget), and the most recent one I've got is the one everyone else hates, even though I love it. >_>

Here ya go. I only fiddled with it for a few seconds though so it might not be the best quality cut.
I only played Tales of Eternia and Tales of the world: radiant mythology and my
brother played tales of phantasia (gba) so i know
only a few characters in the tales series of namco.

This is the cutest thing I've ever seen <3
I've been watching a Tales of Symphonia LP lately, and here's some comments on what I've seen of the game so far:
Anyone else think that Beast Sword Rain is an incredibly lame name for an attack? Why didn't they call it Raining Beast, like they did with Raining Tiger Blade? It would have sounded SOOO much cooler!
And no offence, Zelos fans, but Zelos sucks. He's what one would consider a heavy character, being kinda slower and stronger than Lloyd, but he doesn't even have any attacks with good knockback, and the impact sound for successful hits from Zelos sounds too similar to the sound effect for guarded hits, which makes playing Zelos feel awkward too. No, I don't have the game, but I can already tell that playing Zelos is going to feel awkward. I'll probably just go with Lloyd or Presea when/if I get the game. I don't know about Presea, but I DO know that I really like Lloyd's fighting style.
BTW, Kratos lovers, Regal is where it's at!
Also, Colette's kind of a jerk in a way. She keeps hiding her problems, even when it would be easier for everyone (herself included) if she didn't. And she lies. A LOT. Almost every time she says "I'm fine" in the game, it's a lie. And she says "I'm fine" a lot.
@BlazingPhoenix: lol Lloyd got face hugged.
@Charon (WAY LATE): Item Thief spamming? Really? Stardust Cross and that Para Ball thingy are FAR more spammable! I mean, they're ranged attacks, and they're lots quicker than Item Thief.
When I get ToS1, I'll probably be a Beast Sword Rain-spamming Lloyd. I mean, fast, lots of hits, AND huge knockback? Epicness!
I know that Item Thief isn't actually that spammable, but it's fun to fall on people in real life and steal their i-Pods
Colette says she's fine so that people don't worry about her. "Oh yeah, I feel like complete s#@& because my soul is going to be discarded so that some lunatic can use my body to resurrect his dead sister". Like THAT'S reassurring (even though she probably doesn't actually know that much... even when it's told to her face upstraight).
Whenever she tells Lloyd "I... I'm fine" he should throw Dwarven Vow #11 at her. ("Lying is the first step down the path of thievery.")
She probably wouldn't phrase it quite the way you did right there, but she'd probably say, "Well... I... Lloyd... When this journey is over, I'm going to die."
And of course Lloyd, him with his epic sense of morals, would completely overreact.
And wait why do you Item Thief people in real life? Why not Pow Hammer them, or Torrential Para Ball them?
*slice, slice, slice* "Ray Thrust!" "Torrential Para Ball!" /epicspammycombo
P.S. Never thought I'd be caught saying this, but Presea's kinda cute when she smiles. Unfortunately, she doesn't do that too often.
...BECAUSE I DUN HAVE POW HAMMERS/PARA BALLS D:<
Wait, Colette's already a thief, so I don't think the Dwarven Vows really mean anything to her. Of course, she's such a ditz, she wouldn't even know them if she studied them.
They don't mean anything to her? Then why does she quote them after battle?
Genis: "Dwarven Vow #7!"
Colette: "Justice and love will always win!"
Lloyd: "Ugh! I hate that saying!"
And in ToS2:
Genis: "Dwarven Vow #7!"
Colette: "Goodness and love will always win!"
Lloyd: "'Goodness'... It just doesn't sound cool."
Also, greatest weapon ever: Pow Hammer DX.
I wish Emil and Marta had gag weapons like that in ToS2.
Well, maybe she's selective.
Y'know what's the best tech ever? Endless Infliction!
It's just so spammable! I mean, the last hit leads absolutely perfectly into the start of another one!
