Got Tales this morning. Coldest game I've ever got (erm.... yeah).
But it seems good. At first the combat seemed a bit crappy, just a shallow PSO-type system, but now it's starting to get good. Only played it for half an hour, but I can see it getting very good in a few hours (of play, not just time).
Oh, and It's published by Nintendo. Something I didn't know. And it's got two discs.
Now, how in gods name am I going to get the time to play this, Metroid Prime 2, Paper Mario 2, Halo 2 and still leave my social life intact?
Sheet.

Told you it was good *smiles*, I bet I can remember what part of the game it was as well, but for security of spoiler sake I can't say.

Ooo.. is it much farther than Palmacosta Ranch?
Also Fox as you seem well versed in this game, is it me or instead of going on the ranch first could I have gone to the volcano by boat to get the statue back instead?

It is quite a bit but not too far from where you are in the story, but on the basis of the entire story you haven't even done 1/10 of the story or less so far.
Surprisngly no as the statue cannot be retrieved thus allowing you passed the mountain until after the ranch. This game does have some slightly controlling methods to get you to do what you need to, but not too much. The main reason why is that before the ranch is finished you can't find the main priest to talk to about retrieving the statue.

I have an idea on what you can't do to get that Statue, when you go to the volcano there is a cutscene, but i suppose you might not get that to come up until after the ranch. Anyway I haven't played it in a long while but i still rmember the plots and most of the story that happens, but i have forgotten most of the city names as there are a lot of them.

6th form is being a right pain for me. Some one needs to tell my Maths and History teachers they need to leave us time for some social every now and then, rather than loadsa homework!

Oh god your doing maths Alevels? I did that and I had a B in maths at GCSE and I failed the AS maths course.
55 hours into the game.. :D highest level character is Lloyd on level 55, without any walkthroughs but I've been using a FAQ for the sidequests so I don't miss them out.

yeah i think that is the only way to get all of them, but trust me you will have to be level 85 or so to finish ALL of the main subquests, mwhahahahhahaha!
Yeah I got to level 87 by the end of my second game as I too used an FAQ for side quests and man there are some tough battles ahead. Have you gotten all of the summons? Like Maxwell?

I don't really mind fighting in the world map could do with the money as the restoring thingy (to avoid spoilers) costs alot.
