Additionally, playing it shows how far we’ve come with the development of RPGs but also just how many features haven’t changed at all-and for good reason. With all the assets working in tandem, the game concludes having felt like a true, original, experience. However, beyond that it has skills that evolve as you progress, characters that become more refined and a world that becomes more alive. The game shows a respect for the genre by exploring the world with rich characters and extremely engaging combat. The other thing that makes Tales of Phantasia work is in what it tries to do first-before where it tries to improve.

They returned to the village and found it burnt down, and all its inhabitants murdered.

But as soon as it stopped speaking, the two friends heard the sound of an alarm. Chasing a wild boar, Cless discovered a strange talking tree in the forest who was pleading him for help. It was a day like all the others when Cless decided to go hunting with his best friend Chester. In Tales of Phantasia the player controls a young boy named Cless, who lives together with his parents in a quiet village.
