“”As long as you have the will, you can study anywhere.” -Raine
What seems like a fun kid’s game is actually more than meets the eye. Tales of Symphonia asked some big questions. So big that it cannot contain in a classroom. After all, I was warned by the mysterious character Kratos that assisting the Chosen One is no school field trip!
Indeed, the plot was hardly meant for kids. Why do we have to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of society? Don’t all life forms have the right to live? Why do we discriminate those who are different from us? So, when the game indirectly asked me, “Don’t you sometimes think that what we’re doing is meaningless?” The answer is absolutely no.
You have to be a bit of a genius to like this sort of game because geniuses like to think outside the box. Simply put, this game was quite clever.
I wish I had the time and energy to give a thorough and detailed review because I enjoyed it that much. I highly recommend this game if you are a JRPG fan who appreciate wholesome humor. I know I laughed a lot. I will leave you folks with one of my favorite scenes in the game. Enjoy!
P.S.
I might make more gaming related videos and short blog posts like this. It’s kind of fun and to the point.
