"Well, la-a-adno - said the Namco. - Xenosaga hacked us, so we will now Tales of Fucking. With them will be.
That's us something, though no one will fill: Tales of Rebirth passed, and with Tales of the Abyss there is little that is clear. But - a miracle happened, the Japanese company's office still remembered the gaijin. And that in fact might not appear translated version of Tales of Legendia (hereinafter ToL) the home of Jack Thompson.
 | |  | Left to right: Jin, Mugen, FUU-chan. Oh, how ... is not that Samurai Champloo? | | Usually encounter quite a digestible, but some, especially hot, reminiscent of a bunch of little,. |
The script does not make ToL beat in the throes of happiness, but a dislocated jaw playing does not provide. Seventeen Senela Coolidge and his younger sister Shirley Fennes inadvertently puts on a giant flying boat "Legacy" on board which turn over an entire ancient civilization. Representatives of the people with more than a thousand years of history are sure that his sister Senela - a special person, able to manage the "legacy". And some groups of people seem to already have specific views on the ability of girls.
The general game mechanics ToL quite common, both within the show, and within the genre, minus a couple of unpleasant circumstances.
 | «Do you speak Relares?» |
Writing out the unique features of the world, the authors were not too lazy to create a whole language - Relares. Letter based on the use of ideographs, of which already 42 pieces (in addition to ten digits, 26 fall on the letters and 6 - to punctuation). Pronunciation is very similar to Spanish - for the only exception that no consonant sounds are not stunned.
 | |  | Some things never change.Thus, substantial flow - the key to success, the beautiful trophy and a bag of coins. | | Global map, was reformed six years ago, again enjoy hinders travel. |
In the features-list on the back of the album cover should have mentioned frighteningly gnarled global map, the movement of which hurts the memory of Legend of Legaia, and that some of the dungeon rather famously introduced in frustration. Which, as we know, breeds aggression.
The next version of LMBS (Linear Motion Battle System) is relieved from the unpleasant mistakes Tales of Symphonia. Rejecting the pseudo-3D, which enabled closely monitor what is happening, but it raises a number of inconsistencies with the management, the authors returned to action in the more usual two dimensions. Turned to more evenly, although not without sin: the constant glitches in the performance of magical attacks, often low-pile, with the participation of a large number of enemies, is clearly excessive accumulation of zadumok (air special moves, often sad and useless) - it all washes off and kills the drive fighting spirit.
ToL instantly witch its truly elegant appearance. Moreover, we face a rare case - a modern JRPG, which seems attractive and newcomers have discovered the genre only after purchasing the PlayStation 2, and the experienced "Roleviki" that know the value of pre-rendered backgrounds and a tiny modelka characters. The engine is brilliantly combines all the best features beautiful 2D-and 3D-shells of Japanese role-playing games that ever knew the industry. Excellent detailing backgrounds, sensitive selection of colors, comfortable static camera angles Ferris - more wish impossible.

Also, admire the sheer quality of the animation - such as "aliveness" of what is happening not been seen since Chrono Cross. And that - hoo what a compliment! Design heroes made great Kadzuto Nakazawa, whose hand belongs to an unforgettable trio of actors Samurai Champloo (in domestic box office - "Samurai Champloo") - one of the best anime series of 2004. If you have something to say the names of the Jin, and Mugena FUU-chan, your eyes probably noticed the similarity of local adventurers with old brainchild of the artist.
It is unlikely that we would mention the English-language voice acting, not Spend Namco for these professionals. Voice Will Reynard and does belong to Cameron "Liquid Snake" Clark - already, as they say, "just for this."
Tales of Legendia - not just a JRPG to "pass the time before the transfer Final Fantasy XII». It's not going to believe, the old, the very »Tales of, miracle, which has taken a higher level of quality, but at the same time - without changing the tradition, not to sink to the level of through-crafts class Suikoden IV or Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, never becoming mere demonstration of a fashionable 3D-engine. Still "not it"? In this case, you - for a version of Tales of Phantasia for Game Boy Advance. But others will appreciate.

When they reached the finish, do not rush to remove the disc on the shelf and indulge in Dumas on "what to play yet?" Because you stashed a barrel of side quests and a pack of small challenges.
