Tales of symphonia

Anyone have this game? I've been addicted to it for awhile now. It's 2 discs long, and is supposed to take 60-80 hours to beat. (Depending on how good you are.) I've been playing for 11 hours (Not counting times i had to reload because i lost.) and i'm not even half-way through the first disc. I swear it feels like playing about 4 RPG games striaght instead of one big one.

So, has anyone else played it?

[Burninating_Torchic]

me...same case here. I'm like..halfway through Tethe'alla, so about 3/4 of disk 1 done. But don't worry, my friend who beat it said disk two is basically just the final battle, its really only 1 disk. But yeah, sometimes the bosses are quite hard, thanks to the stupidity of the CPUs. Luckily, there's manual mode, so 4 people can play!

I was trying to get all the titles, but I lost interest after a while. I was at the battle where I would earn "I hate Gels", so maybe I'll pick it up again.

Yes, I have beaten the game and it is quite fun (although the voices for Lloyd, Collete, Zelos, Genis, Regal, and Sheena make me cry ;__; ). 4p cooperativity is always a plus :)
Getting all of the titles is something I will never have the patience to do. Especially not the one you get when your unit is level 100. The highest level I've gotten is level 80 on Regal with the Experience doubling held item, and at the end of the game too ;___:.

To prove my addition to TOS though (when friends can come over ;)), see my sig ;)

[Tagrineth]

ToS is brilliant.. and mad hard even with 4 actual players when you set it to Hard and Mania. :D

Tsk tsk! You should have used it on Sheena! :D

[Rai]

Why? Sheena's summons are the only thing that makes me even consider using her, (I of course am not going off of her erm... Physical Strengths :p) and she rarely goes into overlimits -_-.
Zelos/ Kratos is much better, having some of Lloyd's tech and basic spells and healing just rules.
I once tried to make my friends play the Sylph battle on hard mode. When they found out I had changed the difficulty on them, they nearly killed me X_X

[Hot_Carl]

lol, rai, the situation in your sig, i've had that happnen before.

Ugh, right now i'm stuck trying to get the pact with the fire summon seal. Any tips?

Sheena's attacks come out pretty fast if you use the right ones, and her techs are very helpful (Purgatory Seal, anyone?).

Zelos/Kratos pretty much become pure melee by the halfway mark, and only stays a good fighter because of the 'Slasher' EX skill... they're like red mages in FF1 - their stats just don't scale well enough.

A better idea would be using Presea ( <3 ) and Regal (with the EX skill that makes him stronger with Presea present)...
