This thread has been linked to the game 'tales of symphonia'.
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.

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.

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?

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.

You bet. At my sixth form we have coursework and deadlines instead of putting shapes into the right holes in a box.
W...ork?
Haven't played it in the last few days but I'm in the Palmacosta human ranch. Enjoying it more and more I'm just having to balance that with Paper Mario and work stuff :S

Because you may end up running out of TP at a crucial moment and you'll have to rely only on your sword skills and other characters attacks. Use TP sparingly during enemy fights in dungeons just enough so that you can get a tiny surplus of tp at the end of each fight as you get some back afterwards. Also if you do cooking you don't have to waste raine's TP on healing after a fight as most cooking recipes can heal you a lot.
The TP situation gets very desperate for me ^_^ Why hack with your sword when you can do the stabby-stabby special move? :D
