If you do, you probably recognize my avy
If not, you need to be educated by picking up one of the games. Symphonia (gcn) is my favourite, but Abyss(PS2) and Vesperia (360) are pretty good too. They've ported some of the older ones to the GBA.

In my opinion Vesperia the best one.

I've only played Tales of Symphonia, and that was an awesome game.

They all differ. For example, The main overall theme of Symhponia was discrimination and racism. Vesperia had a pollution theme to it.

That's Genis Sage, the main character from Tales of Symphonia's friend.

Oh.
Huh...I always thought that he was some random anime person.
That's actually how I picture Koulatio I've never seen him, and I usually see someone's avatar and picture the person as whoever's in their avatar. Weird, I know.
What sort of games are these "Tales of..." entries?

Yeah, my avy is Genis Sage. My sig is Emil Castagnier from the second game.
And the tales games are RPGs. Usually pretty lengthy too. But they don't use a slow turn based battle style. It's pretty action oriented.

No, fights take place on a fixed plane, where the characters move and attack in real time, kind of like a fighting game. It's a really good system.

Heres a video of the battle. (It's on extremely hard mode, so it will look a little weird. (or mania mode)

I've heard of Tales of Symphonia, but unfortunately I haven't played it. Any of them actually.

Vesperia is for the 360 Other ones I recommned would be: Tales of the Abyss -> PS2 Symphonia 2 -> Wii (providing you've finished and enjoyed the first one) Tales of Phantasia -> GBA
