[quote name='DarkKnightCecil']Tales of Phantasia is indeed a GREAT RPG but unlike Swordcraft, you can't craft your own weapons, so if that's what your g/f liked than I wouldn't get ToP.
However, if your g/f liked the story/battle system, I'd say DEFINATELY get ToP.[/QUOTE]

If anyone else has any other ideas, I would be extremely grateful.
