A sinister being who calls himself Dhaos wishes to suck the earth dry of its resources. He seeks the power of the Tree of Life to create a Mana seed. Cless, Klarth, Chester, Archie, and Mint must stop him before he destroys the world. Use the Eternal Sword to travel through time and meet interesting characters. Learn and execute a myriad of attack techniques using Street Fighter-esque control. Befriend Elemental Spirits and use them to cast spells. Fill your inventory with an arsenol of devestating weapons and life-saving items. Written by Chris Morrow
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.
