So is the fighting in the game like "Tales of Symphonia" for GC?


And i might buy it, there are too many games i want to buy right now though, I just dont want to spoil myself, then i might get jaded to it all, who knows.

But perhaps i will buy it.


And aboput the voice acting, is everything voiced?

And is it bad as in, like, it sounds scripted, or the actors are bad?

And what about hi-res movie clips? have you encountered many or any of them?

Not everything is voiced. Only cutscenes are. If you talk to NPCs around town or something, they are not voiced. Think like FFX.

The actors aren't great, but not horrible either. Nothing wrong with the dialogue, though.

The movie scenes are good, but I've seen better.

Hard for me to say because I just got the game yesterday. I'll let you know in the future.

I'm not buying it but I will borrow it from my friend who is buying it. I'm sure my brother would like to play through with me. An RPG that allows your friends to enjoy the experience with you is a rare and great find.

Sounds great.

It's 2-3 players only on Versus mode. Versus mode is awesome, and when you get far, you can unlock it.

I have about 47 or 48 battle trophies unlocked so far and I am loving every single thing about this game. There are really nice hi-res movie clips later on in the game. Also, I agree, I kind of like the voice acting, it's much better than IGN said. It's actually good. Especially Fayt's and Nel's voice. But some characters like Farleen make your ears bleed...

The best thing about the game is the battle system. It's really fun. I love battling and everytime I see an enemy, I always go touch it so I can fight. I love hitting an enemy into the air, then flip kicking it even higher to the air and ending it with two quick weak attacks. Such a fun game. Love the environments too. Great story with very awesome characters. Pretty long game too...

And I whored out Tales of Symphonia , I'd give it a 8/10, it's a great game, don't get me wrong, but I think this game eats it alive. (Yes, they're very comparable).

Oh and Crono, there are 4 difficulty settings. You need a few Battle trophies to unlock the 3rd one (Universe) and the last one... wow, F. Dimension difficulty is said to be one of the craziest challenges in any game.
