In the last debate I dropped the bombshell on everyone that we're about to start another multiple month RPG debate tournament, but not yet! After receiving about five different nominees from over 200 of you (OMG!) my head is still spinning, leaving some of the final candidates up in the air.
This week is about narrowing down your favorite game in the large Tales RPG series, which is even larger if you play the Japanese releases. You guys demanded one of these games make the cut, and you've got it! It's up to you to choose which one moves on.
What game moves on to the tournament brackets and why? What sets it apart from every other series? Sell me on the idea! Get me stoked to see it compete in the tournament! Give it some serious thought, share your thought process with all of us, and then check back next week to see how your game did.

Contest:
Might try Graces whenever it comes out, though. Or one of the GBA tales.
The characthers and plot were great.
Symphonia was pretty much FFX with humour. Admittedly, the characters were much more likable than their Square counterparts, but it was pretty obvious. Then again, one can clearly draw similarities between FFX and The Canterbury Tales.
But, yeah, Vesperia if for nothing else than Rita Mordio.
But if pressed, I would say Vesperia barely beats out Abyss and Symphonia. Damn was it a pretty game. Yuri and Raven were pretty great too.
That is all.
So that gets my vote.
If I just played one more, what should it be?
While I loved Symphonia.... the story was boring as batshit. Only the characters kept me from giving the game up. Vesperia, on the other hand, captivated me until the final moment.
Plus, I'm still trying to get all the achievements in Vesperia.... only 120 hours into it... :)
1. Destiny 2/Eternia
2. Symphonia
3. Destiny
4. Vesperia
5. Phantasia
6. Symphonia 2
7. Abyss
8. Legendia
The tales of world games are garbage.
Rebirth is by far the best and there is definitely no discussion neededon that. Vesperia, Abyss, hell even Legendia is better than Symphonia. Graces, Hearts, Innocence,Phantasia, Destiny and Eternia are too. Destiny 2 and Tempest are the only super terrible ones.
Seriously though, Rebirth. If you think anything else, you probably haven't played it and I'll forgive you but you should know that it's better than whatever you've played in every way anyway.
Out of what's in the US, Vesperia and Destiny are the best.
Never played another "Tales" title. One day, maybe I will...
Also, female Shepard was in Symphonia as a busty sexy female ninja.
Shame Namco hates money in the U.S. to bother bringing over some of the other titles. Oh well...
PS: Klarth can suck my balls. Chester for life.
