As anyone who is awesome will tell you, Tales of Phantasia for the SNES was the most awesome RPG of it's time, and all time for that matter. It was the fist that launched a thousand faces with it's innovative battle mode. It's main character was awesome. Cless could use any weapon he wanted. From daggers to battle axes, as long as it was a bladed weapon, he was holding it and mashing your face in with it.

Anyway, awesomeness aside, I've started to re-play it for the Playstation. Yes, a short while after it came out on SNES it came out for the PSX, with the voice acting redone of course. They've improved the visuals, adding 3D wherever necessary. Even Sylph looks awesome.

"Is it good so far?" you may ask. The answer is yes, it is awesome and I love it. Best RPG ever.

Some people are impressed by Star Ocean's traditional level cap at 256. Tales of Phantasia for the PSX is set at 999. Damn straight. I don't think I'm getting anywhere near that beast of a number.

That's all I feel like saying for now.

was this a review?....

and it's a good game...but far from the best snes RPG

No, wasn't a review. Yes, it is the best. Possibly tied with Star Ocean.

The remake makes it all the more awesome.

According to users on gamespot Star Ocean only has a rating of 8.8, Tales of phantasia has a score of 8.7.

Better games like Chrono trigger scored 9.7 and final fantasy 6 got 9.5, final fantasy IV got 9.0

Can't forget mario rpg...that got a 9.4

Can't argue the numbers.

80% of people in the world are mildly retarded.
Therefore, I can't trust anything that a mass of unqualified people vote for.

Star Ocean never had an American release.
Tales of Phantasia only made it here via GameBoy Advance.
Totally different experience.

Chrono Trigger was good, but it was only really that good because of how good its battle system was. Everything else was pretty standard. I guess people forget how TOP and Star Ocean had the best battle system of all time.

So true!

I prefer the term "the ruling class".

They're interchangeable.
