OMG......I couldn't agree with you more!!! If he'd said that one....more....time...........NeutralDrow said:
OT: I was amused by this episode, but, having played the first game (as well as this game), that cutscene makes a lot more sense to me. I love the Tales games! Though this isn't as awesome as Tales of Symphonia (the first one) or Tales of the Abyss I still really enjoyed it
I laughed even on a second watching. It starts out a bit slow, but I was consistently laughing after the line about giving birth to a monster. The editing and delivery made this quite amusing. It may have helped that I don't know this game, but I do know some other JRPG's.
It's called "play the game to find out." Me, I've kind of forgotten the reason (been a while since I last played), but it's all a spoiler no matter how you slice it.
Anyways, I for one really liked this game. And most of your jokes don't work since 1. They are answered in the first game and 2. That "I still have more questions, what was the point" joke was uninformed and desperate and you know it. It wouldn't be a very intriguing story if it was "this is what you look like, kill people with different hats"; the mystery and questions you have at the start are put there on purpose, and they will be answered...provided you give the game a chance.

I loved the original Tales of Symphonia but I was a bit disappointed in Dawn of the New World. Still this it a funny episode.
Yeah, good stuff, the the creaking one almost made me spit my coke. I should know better than to watch these with a mouthful of anything.Anchupom said:
Cause I was going to say these events they're setting up as history sound WAY more interesting than current events happening in the game. 
In FF10, I felt that way about Seymour. That is just not the name you use to set someone up as an antagonist early in a game. That name makes people laugh. I haven't played, but lets say that Lloyd doesn't stay an antagonist. He pulls a Magus ala Chrono Trigger (even the reference is to cool for this games cinematic); then the writer needs an ambiguous name. One that could go either way.EchetusXe said:
Names are hard. But Lloyd isn't even trying. Like Seymour.
Those jokes did fall a little flat (more or less what I expected, really; even if they were willing to give JRPGs any sort of chance, they're not trying to be fair, but comedic), but I found most of the other ones still worked.OniYouji said:
And yeah, I loved this game, too.
Because in this case, the squirrel controls all the world's monsters.willofbob said:
I disagree. I guess it's just they were going for a slightly more high-brow joke.Alphakirby said:
Just because I've heard a joke doesn't mean it's not funny the next time I hear it. If that was the case, I'd never buy a comedy on DVD.
My god was that a piss poor sequel to an overall great game. I'm sorry to all those who liked it (The sequel that is) but it was nothing but a cash-in on the fanbase of the first Tale of Symphonia. They even dared to reuse environnements.
