Phantasia's such an overlooked game, it's really cool to finally see some content for it!

[BlackHedgehog]

As someone who only played the main game I actually learned a fair bit. I still think Phantasia is one of the few old games that really needs a remake.

[ChistrianS]

Phantasia has always been one of my favorite games in the franchise and in general, so I'm really excited to watch this! Thank you.

[MooMooCow]

I'm so happy I grew up with the Tales series. Such great examples of epic and complex stories where there is no clear good and bad but rather explores the moral grays of perspectives that could be seen as conflicting on the surface but are actually much closer than initially thought. Obviously Tales isn't the only game to explore this, but Tales has such a way of unironically saying "the true treasure was the friends we made along the way" that will never cease to charm me and always bring me back to these games.

I haven't played any of the other Tales games and only just recently watched a full playthrough of the newest Tales(Arise). I just happened to find Phantasia while looking through a list of SNES RPGS and decided to try it and OH man was I impressed! That game is amazing for the time!

[Ekkolocationzz]

I love your complete, unabridged timeline videos!! Especially your symphonia one! I was so excited to see you upload this! Great video im looking forward to the next Tales Of one! ^.^

[Cihuyproduction]

thank you so much for the video man, this is my all time favorite game. seeing someone making long video over your favorite game is so special yk

[MagisterJake]

OMG I love this! Not a lot of people know about Phantasia. Seeing new content about it is completely unexpected but well-appreciated!

[suprememingus]

this is my favorite game of all time. i know the plot is a little messy due to the reason you mentioned in the video but i love the characters and story too much to care. as a diehard fan of phantasia i appreciate the video. you did the story justice and explained it and the related books and games very well. its nice to see someone put some care into a video about this often overlooked landmark JRPG. hopefully someday namco gives it a fair chance, because the GBA and iOS versions weren’t it.

[jacobdiel]

I am so glad i watch the symphonia video 1st, thank you for the suggestion. I am so sad to finish this story and hope you find the time to carry on with the tales series in the future. Thanks for all your hard work.

[frostkiss]

This was such an amazing and detailed video with a touching outro! You really did the game and its story justice 🥰

[nolife]

I love your timeline videos. Thank you.

[MagillanicaLouM]

Always love respect to Phantasia. Been a while since I've seen the plot walked through, so I forget how truly grim a lot of it can be despite it being a very comical game plus the chibi sprites of RPGs of the time. But yeah something about its story, out of all Tales titles is the one you can tell feels most like a full fledged novel, for obvious reasons. Definitely up there for favorite stories in the series.

[samj]

Yes!! Love your timeline vids!!!
Great vid as always dude!!

[jesserivera]

Listening to this video motivated me to pick back up Tales if Hearts R. Take that as a huge compliment

[kieranwrightstone]

Well I’ll be dammned, you completed the Aselia timeline! I always want to play the Phantasia games and especially Narikiri Dungeon. I do have Summoners Lineage which takes place a few centuries later on GBA emulator…though I”m still working on translating that barely. Still impressive to behold.

[shaifs]

Phantasia has always been my favorite Tales. So happy I stumbled on it and emulation in the late 90s.

It’s sad that Winona was so important in the LN but doesn’t even get a cliffnote in the game. But that’s Nanci’s doing.

[Majo_Ellen]

I was very impressed by this! As a long time fan (And probably the only person who played the GBC Phantaisa: Narikiri Dungeon from start to end) it was so refreshing to see all of our research compiled neatly. Well done, this was so fun.
I miss the Tales of Phantasia series..

[animeproblem]

I mean considering the fact that origin is lord of space and time and is an outside observer who can correct any timeline shenanigans i don't actually see many issues with the time travel

[monkey_blu]

I still think that introducing a convoluted time travel story in the first game of a franchise was really weird and could have ended pretty bad for the future of it but I'm glad it worked out because I would not have had the pleasure of casting "Indignation" on Dhaos in Vesperia.
