last time they had ToA 3d on sale amazon matched the price, i bet we will see something similar so long as people alert amazon of the lower pricing.
For me each of the tales games have something to offer and worth playing:
- Tales of Symphonia (can't comment on 2, haven't played): First tales game I beat so the many technical shortcomings are clouded by nostalgia goggles. This game has so much content, good plot twists, and endearing main cast.
- Tales of the Abyss: I really enjoyed the Character progression in this game, plus best music in any of the tales games.
- Tales of Vesperia: Personally my favorite of the bunch. Best story line & cast. plus last (console) tales to have a proper overworld, different modes of transportation, and all the tropes that got me into RPGs.
- Tales of Graces: This was one of the most fluid battle systems which really made up for the early game pacing issues for me.
- Tales of Xillia: admittedly I was a little let down, great cast but the two perspective approach could have been better. Fun battle system and dialogue; not to mention the few animated sequences were really well done.
