I wanted to LOVE this game; the artsyle was unique, the characters were memorable, I loved its sence of humor, the levels were very creative (my favorite one being the with the bull) and I especially liked these reels that showed the pasts of the characters (especially Milla's. holy shit that took me by surprise) but the game feels kinda janky in some places

I still had fun overall but wish the controls were a bit better

didn't like the part where some men told me to go with them and got questioned about something but overall decent game

would play again

Quién es Kat?
para el ciego, es la luz.
para el hambriento, es el pan.
para el enfermo, es la cura.
para el solitario, es el compañero.
para el triste, es la alegría.
para el prisionero, es la libertad.
para el pobre, es el tesoro.
para el deudor, es el perdón.
para el mundo, es esencial.
Si Kat opina, le doy la razón.
Si Kat habla, la escucho.
Si Kat falla, la apoyo.
Si el mundo odia a Kat, soy yo contra el mundo.
Si Kat tiene un esposo, soy yo.
Si Kat no tiene un pretendiente, es que yo ya he muerto.
Respeta a Kat, no la compares con nadie

I guess this is better than another decade of no F-Zero

Disappointed.

The battle mechanic sucks; the fact that your Yokai can't get new attacks makes the game feel repetitive. doesn't help that sometimes the super attack of the Yokai takes too long and you can't do anything else after you activate the attack, also you have to wait to use an item after you used one already, which makes the battles (mostly boss battles) take too long

also a lot the designs of the Yokais look like a parody of pokemon you would see in a cartoon or internet parody (chinpokomon for example)

the only reason I gave this game a 1 1/2 stars (3/10) is because Whisper is funny

DONDE ESTA SU SOMBRERO????????

[Chorus]
It’s the Nutshack! (Yee, yee)
It’s the Nutshack! (What he say?)
It’s the Nutshack! (Oh, yes! Yeeeah)
It’s the Nutshack! (Hey, I'm in that shit!)
It’s the Nutshack! (Don't forget ya boy Angel!)
It’s the Nutshack! (It’s the Nutshack!)
It’s the Nutshack! (It’s the Nutshack!)
It’s the Nutshack! (It’s the Nutshack)
It’s the Nutshack! (Hey!)
It’s the Nutshack! (This beat's knockin'!)
It’s the Nutshack! (Wow!)
It’s the Nutshack, hoo-ah!

[Verse]
Phil’s from the 'Sco, Jack’s from the P.I
Horatio or Horat, so big-eyed!
Tito Dick, “Dickman”, baby!
He raised Phil and loves the ladies
Jack’s cool, he's lazy, he’s still learnin’
Otherwise Cherry Pie, he's still a virgin
Chita, meet the freak of the week-ah!
Phil’s homegirl, God, Jack wanna keep her
But it’s not happenin’, neither! (No!)
Shakin’ like a seizure, hold up, let me spark this, take a breather
Breathe that reefer in my lungs
I got grapes, what you watchin’, son?

[Chorus]
It’s the Nutshack!
It’s the Nutshack!
It’s the Nutshack!
It’s the Nutshack!

Como dis... Como que si te enseñan un bebé y dices "esta bonito", este, obvia... Y en tu mente no piensas eso es que no estas siendo sincero, pero si lo dices que "está bien culero", se oye feo

ok so this is the version that sucks apparently.

honestly, as someone who never played Symphonia before (or any other Tales of game really) I didn't find it bad honestly. I am not saying it's acceptable that namco released the game in this condition, but instead that I did find myself enjoying this game. there are some things that I found odd regarding the cutscenes since they end very abruptly and I don't know if the conversation in the gamecube version are longer but a lot of conversation (I don't remember how they're called, but those cutscenes where the characters are in some squares and that are only accessible by clicking a button) feel like they end half way through. plus at first the battles felt stiff, like it felt like jumping and moving was hard.

that being said there are three things that did bother me that probably are not the port's fault
1: I really hated Zelos. like, I don't fully mind the perv archetype that much but he is very unlikable. for most of the game he is only there to be a comic relief that whole joke is that he hits on women including Sheena who is shown to feel uncomfortable with. he doesn't have any of the interesting backstories the other character in your party have and by the time they tried to make his sad backstory with his sister it was just a little to late for me to like him and honestly wished he really became evil; as a matter of fact him being really a spy of Mythos would have been clever, the one dislikable party member is actually someone who will betray you, that's actually clever. but I guess the people at Tales of inc. didn't want you to only have 7 party members so they said "actually he is good". the only thing I liked about him was that female NPCs game you free stuff by talking to them if you played as him
2: I didn't like how they sometimes treated Lloyd, not only the characters but sometimes how the game portrays him. I found him to have a very great story about him wanting everyone to live in peace without discrimination and without both worlds having to fight for mana, but the game sometimes treats him like an idiot that gets bored easily. like, I can understand making him immature since it's clear his arc is about him maturing as a person, but again sometimes he feels like a very different character; add to the fact that sometimes they make the "hilarious" joke of Genis calling him an idiot (sometimes in some very serious scenes) and it feels forced. at least the more the game progresses the least they do it
3: the whole portion when Mithos takes Colette's body after defeating Kratos felt unnecessary, at that point it just felt like padding the game a bit more and without any good reason since at that point they're just repeating the same things they characters already know. Sheena already learned that she didn't have to run away anymore, Raine and Genis already learned that their lives do matter despite half elves being discriminated, Regal already learned that his past actions shouldn't affect who he is now, Presea already learned to let go of her sister and to live in the present and Zelos learned something I think. add to the fact that Lloyd having to remind them of all that just felt corny, like the entire game they didn't learn those lessons on their own. with the final boss with Mithos it felt like the game already had 4 final battles: the first one with the first fight with Mithos which was to be expected since the game was building on to that, then the one-with-one fight between Lloyd and Kratos which would have been unconventional but I would have admired the game ending with a more personal battle, then the fight with a summon spirit which would have been weird but it made some sense, but then with the final fight with Mithos it felt like they HAD to end with a super epic final fight which again just felt unnecessary. honestly the only scene that I liked from that segment was when Kratos met Dirk, but aside from that they should have just cut to Colette and Lloyd plating the seed.

those are honestly the only things that bothered me, but aside from that there were a lot of thing I enjoyed such as Lloyd's relationship with Colette which was super wholesome, their relationship was what kept me playing. I also liked how they handled discrimination with half elves and the whole world seeing them as inferior. I also thought that all the characters (aside from Zelos) had some really good arcs, my favorite (aside from Lloyd and Raine/Genis) was Sheena who went from wanting to kill Colette to helping the team and in the process learning not to run away. I also really liked Colette's character who I would say mostly didn't change from the beginning of the game but that was what I loved; when she was going on her journey she didn't complain every cutscene about her being the chosen, she knew she had a responsibility and was more than happy to know she would help the people of silvarant

honestly I was happy I played this, even if I played the bad version of the game

how does this not have any reviews? It's the funny "that's how mafia works" game

It had a crossover with yakuza, why did nobody review it?
