About Me: Nothing much to tell, really. I like writing though. I wanna be an astronaut someday, but since my country doesn't offer courses like that, I'm sticking to Medicine. I spend most of my time in front of a computer, even though I don't actually own one(internet cafe). And if there's one thing I hate, it's when people treat me like I don't know anything. DON'T YOU DARE!
My Tales History:
The first Tales game I've ever played was Tales of Eternia. It was given to me by a cousin of mine who claimed that the game was no good(SHAME ON HIM!). The first time I played it, I knew right away that it was an awesome game. Nice sprites, unique storyline, and the Linear Motion Battle System made the game an epic for me.
I sought after Tales of Destiny as soon as I could because I thought that it was the prequel to ToE(the US version of ToE is called Tales of Destiny 2). I got a copy and played it, but got annoyed at the part where I have to roam the Aethesphere, so I stopped playing it.
To my heart's disappointment, I found out that the real ToD2 could only be found in Japan, but because of my cousin(ARIGATO, KAZU-NIICHAN!), I was able to get a copy. I played it and finished it in a month's time(I would've finished it earlier, but I'm not allowed to touch any sort of gaming console when I have classes).
With my like for ToD rekindled, I played it again and managed to finish it in a week's time. After that, it became a non-stop Tales spree. I immediately bought Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Legendia when they were available in the market. I've finished both games only once though, because I've become quite busy.
Afterwhich, I went to FantasyAnime.com and downloaded the Tales of Phantasia ROM and played it. I got real annoyed because of the high monster encounters, but I managed to finish it.
I'm currently playing Tales of the Abyss now. So far, so good, I have to say. It's a real nice game!!! Am also replaying Tales of Destiny 2. According to a friend of mine who already has a copy of Tales of the Tempest for his DS, it sucks, so I don't think I'll be playing it anytime soon.

About Me: I'm just your typical hardcore gamer who likes to hang out with friends, play videogames with them and just plain have a good, easygoing time. I have a vast amount of dreams and goals for the future (and one of them is staying in the mall overnight... which I've already done heheh) but as of now, just being happy with everyone is all that matters.
My Tales History:
The very first Tales game I've ever played (and also my first Playstation game) is Tales of Destiny, which I bought in 1999. Even after having the opportunity to play Final Fantasy VII, Wild Arms, Breath of Fire, Grandia, etc. in my cousin's place, I still consider Tales of Destiny my favorite Playstation game of all time. When I heard Tales of Destiny 2 was already out, I went ahead and bought it thinking that it's the sequel. When I played the game though, I was surprised to see that it's actually not a sequel but an entirely different game with the same action-oriented elements, only revised and in English this time. I eventually learned that it was called Tales of Eternia and was renamed in the US version in order to avoid a copyright problem.
After that game, I guess the Tales series ended there and I just played all sorts of games in my Playstation 2 and Gamecube... until my little brother bought Tales of Symphonia for his Gamecube. When I saw that game in action, I got interested enough to give it a go myself.
Once I played symphonia, more than 100hrs of playtime followed afterwards and my love for the Tales series is rekindled to a new high! I then learned that there were other games not released in the US as well, and it's also my dream to be able to buy those games and play them properly (if can just understand the language...). I also got to play Tales of Legendia and though it's considered the black sheep of the Tales series (by incorporating elements that seems like a downgrade from the newer Tales games), it's still worth playing.
After wishes and a long time of waiting, I finally have the US version of Tales of the Abyss, which I consider the best 3D tales game of them all! They kept in the intro "Karma" by J-rock band Bump of Chicken in instrumental form, and the translation is great. I'm still playing the game and I've broken the 100hr mark now, so it's all for the love of the series.
