I don't even need to say it looks better than the GBA version, do I?

I couldn't stand ToP.  The encounter rate was ridiculous, the game rarely presented you with direction in the storyline (I'm not the only one who went to Morlia first only to miss the ONE random NPC who told you the password to that one cave), the game had some terrible puzzles, and it was about 8 hours longer than it should have been. 

But it does look pretty.  Shame Tales of Destiny looks kind of uglier in comparison.

Now, why is it that Mother 3 is taking longer to translate than this entire game?

Reluctance due to the thin, thin hope that it would be translated.

So what is Tales of phantasia? Features? Storyline? How's the battle system?


You really need to work on making topics man. I'm sure there are people out there who don't know anything about ToP.

(yeah I know all the answers to those questions, but you could at least invest a bit more than 10s into making your topics)

I know nothing about this game at all...it doesn't look like it stands out much from other RPGs like this.  Especially since games like this get translated by fans all the time, I guess this one has to be something special to have a topic.

Oh wow, this got finished already? Nice, I'll give it a shot.

*Pulls out PSP*
I swear, I hope it works on this thing.

I just beat this game for PSX a few months ago... I guess I'll give er' a shot... now I wonder if they can translate Dragon Quest 4 for the PSX. :o

you can't possibly imagine how profoundly frustrated it makes me that this game is fan-translated on 800 different consoles in one million (maybe one billion??) different languages, while the romhacking community has completely ignored Magical Vacation for the whole 6 years it's been out

oh man, I remember back when I used to be into GBA games, I was so excited when I saw screens of that game and wanted to play it, only to find out it was in Japanese. It was very....... magical.

Oh man i remember this now...I read a preview for it in some magazine a long time ago and remember wanting it REALLY bad.

Since it seems exactly like the snes version (only with better graphics) which was translated years ago, it was only a matter of time before the psx version was translated. Hopefully the psx version won't be as confusing with some of the puzzles though, and doesn't kiddify the translation like the gba version had.

The dialog in the fan translated version was actually exaggerated quite a bit.  Klarth was much more abusive to his wife and the boat conversation was thrown way out of proportion but the GBA version did tame Arche's lecherousness and it was ambiguous as to whether Klarth even had a wife; if I hadn't played the SNES rom I would have thought she was A) a man and B) his apprentice/live in maid/butler.  There was a title that suggested who she really was but they really REALLY downplayed that character.
