After creating a massive world with vast oceans, landscapes and an infinite universe, God instituted human beings to keep his creation in order. Upon realization that man was mortally flawed with weaknesses and feelings, he created a mysterious force known as the Seru; these stone objects would aid humans in decisions and day to day functions. Worn as an apparel item, they granted the wearer many strengths and abilities ranging from the movement of heavy objects to flying capabilities. Thus, human life was made easier -- the Seru would forever obey their masters.

And then the Mist arrived.

Filled with destructive means and hatred, the Mist covered the human's cultivated lands and destroyed a seemingly eternal bond with the Seru. Instead of loyally helping their masters, the mysterious stones turned against the humans; they became maniacal tools of evil, controlling minds and ruining innocent lives. The human existence was reduced tremendously with few survivors fleeing to uncharted territories. Perhaps the Mist wouldn't find them wherever they ran.

With a dying passion of revenge and to reclaim what was rightfully theirs, the humans are determined to overcome the powerful force and evil Seru. Beginning in the desolated village of Rim Elm, you'll assume the role of Vahn, a young boy that lusts for justification and the destruction of the Mist. With his offensive and defensive martial arts attacks, he's joined by the intuitive Noa and a fighting monk named Gala whom thrives off the art of discipline. Together, they must uncover the mysteries of Mist and awaken a series of Genesis Trees; these trees will cleanse that section of the world.

Upon first glance, Legend Of Legaia is a traditional third-person role-playing game with 3D graphics. With a wide variety of towns and townspeople in which to interact, you'll unravel the storyline by learning of important hints and clues. Located in each town is a series of commerce shops; item shops contain helpful potions among other things and weapon and armor shops contain wide variety of powerful swords, helmets, etc. Additionally, you can stay the night at an inn to completely replenish your party's hit and magical points.

Where it differs from the traditional role-playing game is in its battle system. The Tactical Arts System has your characters learning unique combination techniques to use against your enemy. Although the action is turn based, each character has a series of special arts and hyper arts to master; for instance, Vahn can execute a charging scorch by pressing down and right on the D-Pad -- the final button for the combination must be learned on your own! If you'd rather not worry about the fighting, you can set the game to auto mode. It will select a character's maneuvers for them and even learn new combinations.

You can also select an attack strategy including high kicks that work against floating monsters, a dominating Ra-Seru hand attack, a low kick used for smaller creatures and the arms attack for equipped weapons. You can also absorb Seru for summoning and magical abilities; monsters with an elemental icon over their head can be stored and summoned.

The game has over 100 enemies.

^_^ Enjoy!!

...Wow. This game sounds awesome! *Adds to list as well*

Well, with those three games, including Tales of the Abyss, I have what, a half-year's (minimum) worth of gameplaying? ^_^;;;

It takes me forever to finish a game because I have so little time.

Wow, good for you. I am so happy to educate people about RPG games, and you were in need ^_^.

Usually I play all my games late at night. and stay up late. There is never enough time in a day to do all that I want to. Between drawing and everything else games come last. and games are one of the best things.

Are they any other RPGs that you want me to recommend? I have more.

What games do you usually play. Fighting? Shooter? Have any recommendations for me besides Tales of the Abyss????

^_^

^_^

If I have to stay up late, it's because I need to finish some work that didn't get finished during the day. In a week, I probably get no more than 3 hours to play games. And that's if I'm lucky ^_^;

I've seen your gallery thread, your art is really wonderful. Have you ever considered selling prints or something?

I only really play RPGs. I have a lot of friends who love shooter games, but I can't play them because they make me dizzy and nauseous. I also like games like DDR, which is my favorite non-RPG game. I've also enjoyed playing games like SSBM and Soul Calibur...Even though I suck at them ^_^;

So, yeah, if you have any other RPG or other game recommendations, I would love to hear them... Though it would take me a while to get around to playing them ^_^;;;

How about you, though? What kinds of games do you like to play? Aside from the ones you've already mentioned, that is. ^_^

Oh! I'm such a dummyhead! I forgot about Skies of Arcadia! I played it only for a short while, once again I borrowed it from a friend, but I really enjoyed it. It's hard to find games on the GC that I like... Aside from Tales of Symphonia, of course ^_^

Well I love to play fighting games. They are so much fun. The fighting games I like are Soul Calibur 1, Dead or Alive, Marvel vs. Capcom, Tekken, Virtual Fighter, and Street Fighter.

I also LOVE adventure games, like Ico, Devil May Cry, Legacy of Kain
I also like some shooter games like Halo and Gears of War.

Thats about it, fighting, adventure/action and Shooters besides RPGs. Have you played Dark Cloud 1 or 2? I recommend those as well, I'll make more recommendations when you write back.

Which character do you prefer to play in Soul Calibur?

I have played some of Dark Cloud 1, I even own it, but unfortunately I had to set it aside when I was faced with other problems... And now I've completely forgotten where I was in the game >_< I'll have to start over, but I do want to play it eventually.
