Tales of Symphonia, was a much a needed gift from the RPG gods on Nintendo’s Gamecube back in 2003. Nintendo’s console was somewhat devoid of traditional Japanese RPGs, as Sony’s PlayStation 2 had inherited the genre’s top titles from its forbearer.

Console J-RPGs have been a rare breed in the late ps3 to ps4 transition, rising costs and the rise of high… Continue reading Tales of Graces F (PS3) Review
