Tales of Symphonia was the very first video game I ever bought with my own money, I still remember feeling all proud walking back from gamestop with my mom.

[@jaxxh6529]

back in 2004 yes played it (with friends) not fully and my actual first tales game that was like symphonia was tales of vesperia and tales of the abyss (europe only on the 3ds) and vesperia, like t.o.s, is now on the nintendo switch if you want every enemy in that game, trho. magic. lences.

I remember seeing genis cast magic spells on youtube and it looked so cool to me so I looked up the game bought it second hand (as a 12 year old kid for the first time with my own money too) and I had no idea it would be my most favo game of all time I'm 23 years old now and I absolutely love this game to death.

Great game

[@mikeehrmantraut1899]

Man the soundtrack,characters even the story man even choosing ur character to be with man so good I would say it better than vesperia it has good moments but it was strip out

[@WIZA327]

Literally was my gateway game into the world of fantasy and anime shit. Before Tales of Symphonia, I played Pokemon, Mario, and racing games. Oh, how naive I was until this gem brought me into this wonderful world of deeper RPGs and shit like FMA. I would have never gotten into Final Fantasy either if it wasn't for Symphonia. I saw Legendia coming out on PS2, and not being a hardcore gamer I only had Nintendo systems cuz thats just what my mom would get us at Christmas... My first playstation was acquired and I jumped down an endless pit of JRPGs.

@@WIZA327 lol funny enough this game came out around the same time as the original fma anime

[@dobadobadooo]

This is arguably my favorite game of all time, so I'm happy to finally see you review it! I do think you're slightly underselling the story though, and seeing as I've finished the game about 10-12 times, I can safely say the amount of depth this story has is staggering. The whole story is a deconstruction of the classical JRPG story, pointing out the twisted logic behind many of these popular clichès, like the idea of evil in general, the psychological effects of being raised as a messiah, the concept of discrimination from a larger perspective than simply "it's bad", etc.

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

This! Definitely this! It's an incredible story and so immensely underrated. I bawled at the very end of it, knowing Kratos would be forever bound to wander in space getting rid of the exspheres, while Lloyd is left in the new world. And Lloyd's speech at the end where he talks about creating a better world without prejudice or hate is a golden moment too.

[@SweetParadise68]

You said it mate. I honestly can't find the words to describe how good the story in this game was.

[@sternosaur]

so glad I wasn't the only one who felt this way, he didn't even mention the racism that genis and raine face, there are so many issues that this game tackles

[@Mayoncheese]

If you like symphonia for story, abyss is your favorite. It's story is far superior to symphonia, like not even close.

[@rgnick1]

Yes, that is so true. When I first played this game when I was younger with my cousin and friend, and we got to the point where Colette describes how sad it actually is to become an angel. I chocked up a little lol. Literally felt bad for the girl.

COnsidering SYmphonia is a prequel to Phantasia, their very first "Tales of" game, the Norse mythology references were almost forced to appear. Phantasia had a ton of them, beggining with the fact their world tree was literally the World Tree Yggdrasil (like in Norse myths),and all three of the ancient civilizations of Phantasia were named after a Norse deity (Fenrir, Odin and Thor).

At least three playthroughs, if you know what to do, memorizing when and where events happen so you don't miss stuff, tons and tons of monsters to encounter, pointless items and titles, and an amazingly epic story. The closest I got to completion was four playthroughs, level 212, about 97% on collecting, 60% on figures, and I was missing several titles.

this game was the first rpg i really ever played and its the game that really got me into rpgs. i just remember putting an alarm clock on 3am to play before getting up at 6 for school. this game is so close to my heart and thank you so much for covering it

[@darthneighbor7677]

since you're using them as a coaster, can I get a game for GameCube?

[@xermy1648]

That intro got me emotional, god damnit we love you Jirard!

[@BloodTideGaming]

I cant wait for the new format... I always felt like the struggle in what you do here is very down played in favor of showcasing the game. This is the Completionist... Its about you and what you go through completing these games. I think these changes are going to be great! See ya next week JIRARD! (not a macro lol).

[@EdSoCeRiAl]

Honestly you guys had me at the intro. I had to watch the whole thing after that 😂

[@Shmooley347]

If Jirard thinks this is bad, he should try Final Fantasy 10-2.

[@Shmooley347]

He would probably stab poor alex.

[@thomasjenkins7506]

the damn sphere thing while you're stuck on the thunderplains. so easy to miss a little scene there.

[@TheAaronGerenShow]

I don't know, there are lots of missable scenes in this game too lol...tons of them.

[@lopshie]

Tactics Ogre the Knight of Lodis. There are technically 6 endings, but there are multiple sub-endings based on whether or not you killed a certain boss, or one character survived and another didn't, if they both survived, or if they both died. There can be upwards to 40+ endings.

[@VonSeux]

what about THE WONDERFUL 101 !!!

[@Kharaaj]

What a lovely, criminally underrated game.

[@omegachavez]

Yeah! Give us some of dat 101!

[@tophatmonger]

That speech actual moved me wow thanks that made my day

[@christophersteeves9435]

Loved the intro sequence Jirard, Good one.

[@jereluv34]

Hehe. Tales of Symphonia is my favorite game of literally all time. I've got 20+ playthroughs and 1300+ hours on it. So, thank YOU for this video.

[@jereluv34]

I'm at the point though, myself, where I can get through a run in 48 hours. That said, I want to get to Omegaevolution's speedrunning level of 7 hours.

[@jereluv34]

(I think I read your question wrong in that the "that" you referred to was the 80 hours and not my 48) For me? Not all of them, just the ones I feel like taking the time to do, most of my time got put into money grinding for Luin. (GIMME DAT MONEY DRAGON!) But I think that on a vanilla exp very casual run through while taking your time and figuring things out should be about 80, yeah?

[@Gaawachan]

Bet he didn't max his arte count... or his stats... lol. I wonder if he even filled out all the drop/steal entries in the monster book... I did all that...ah ah... hahaha... omg, I think this series has driven me mad... why do I love it so much?!

[@Cloud971]

"I wonder if he even filled out all the drop/steal entries in the monster book" Just finished that on the Steam version, never doing that again...

I kept waiting for him to mention that sword you get from that missable dungeon that COULD be the strongest in the game if you farm before getting it. I'm not sure he got it at all.

[@fianagram1]

Hey, great video :). I'm not a huge fan of the Tales Of series but this definitely gets me interested. Thank you Jirard for all that you have given of yourself on this channel. I too look forward to sharing more memories with you and making a community. To the future!

[@Lflyinghigh]

Congrats on 5 years Team Completionist! I've been with you since the start and I'll always be wishing you the best. With that in mind, give Legend of Dragoons a try!

[@Eucep]

Ohh, Yggdrassil? Norse myth? Oh wait, the artist who designed the characters is the mangaka of Oh My Goddess which is for the biggest part Norse myth. :D

[@Eucep]

Actually surprised it was not mentioned as it's one of the advertisement points on the box, at least over here in the Netherlands it was.

[@kristian64]

Yes, his name is in the box.

[@JustJulyo]

I would like to see A completionist video where Jirard isn't complaining

[@Cloud92390]

Just with that intro, I love this video, still need to finish this game and the other tales games

[@hacktormike3679]

I'm playing it right now! I googled to see who had made sometthing about it and it turned out I already seen this video. Good job!

[@DanielSantosAnalysis]

I'd like to see you complete the original Devil May Cry. I know you like the reboot, which is fine even if I am not particularly partial towards it. However more than just getting a better idea as to why fans like myself were displeased with the reboot, I think it's important for you to see one of the critical foundations of the action genre as we know it today. Games like God of War for example would not be what they are if it wasn't for Devil May Cry .

[@DanielSantosAnalysis]

***** They did remaster DMC4 on PS4, but DMC1-3 were remastered for PS3.

[@DanielSantosAnalysis]

***** I am sure they could but I have no idea if they will.

[@duffman18]

Shintai The original Devil May Cry had awesome completion bonuses, like you could play as other characters, like Dante's dad

[@Skywordstrike]

Waiting for xenoblade

[@englishgardenflorist5697]

xenoblade is great but this game still sits as my favorite

[@TheMemessiah]

Now that's one hell of an undertaking.

[@Phonix463]

Yeah, me too. Stopped at Lorianthia (sp?). BS boss.

[@demi-fiendoftime3825]

Do you want him to die?

[@englishgardenflorist5697]

DissidiaSR21 noo

[@ProjectxLeo]

I have to say, seeing this video is a breathe of fresh air. This was the second game I got for the gamecube. I remember the astonishment I felt when I beaten the game as it was suuuuuuper long. I use to games I could binge in a day, beat it, play it again at a slower pace, then toss to the side. I played it twice and didn't know about a lot of things hidden in. When I told my other gamer buds about it. I just got looks like I fabricated the whole thing from some fever dream. It still feels like that but since other titles from the Tales have appeared. The looks have died down. Up to this day, I still hold this game at high status. I loved the combat system and how control much control I had over it. I find the skits charming and generally get a chuckle out of them. It fit my style of always searching and coming finding a new side quest or something else. Even during my third playthrough when Colette triggered her mystic arte, I was stunned as I thought the game couldn't throw anymore surprises me. Still, loved the video and the opening skit was spectacular

[@Jholman45x]

the intro bit was great. Bravo

[@Merlandese]

"By being a part of a community you can be That One..."

[@tmbocheeko]

Alex obtained the title of "Miyamoto" I'm dead

[@matthewlands9839]

Loved the review Jiirard, great humor and excellent script!

[@22022]

I found this video looking for some Tales of Symphonia nostalgia and found an incredibly funny skit. Well done

[@RSN-Bran]

I'd love to see you tackle the Pikmin games. Particularly the second game, but I'd assume you'd start with the first one

[@thegreendragon5390]

As long as he gets Emile to guest star.

[@namynamerson7155]

The Green Dragon 53 you can't forget steve

[@noahhall2302]

Just gonna be honest... I don't watch the channel for you. For you, exclusively, I mean. For me, I watch it for the fantastic presentation, the very detailed information you provide, and yes, to a degree you.

[@TheAaronGerenShow]

Yes his videos are very very well done.

[@johntroutman7256]

Amazing opening speech. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@guitarpetey89]

Gonna watch this later. Just wanted to let you know i love you for taking this game on. My favorite game of all time hands down.
