Tales of Phantasia (1995)
This game is indeed a classic.
It's kinda funny that the first game in the "Tales of" series that hit any country outside of Japan was Tales of Destiny for Playstation, seeing as how this game is just as advanced, if you ignore that high resolution cut scenes and music are present in the other games. I highly recommend downloading the fan-translated ROM of the SNES version of this game, rather than getting the dubbed version, released not too long ago on Game Boy Advanced (the dubbing is atrocious, and they replaced the intro with some crappy little jingle). This Winter, Tales of Destiny is going to be re-released on PS2 in Japan. Hopefully we'll be seeing it hit stateside, seeing as how it's just as great as Tales of Phantasia. For anyone who wants to play an RPG that actually has some life to it, that isn't the same old stale crap, I highly recommend this series.
