Review: Tales of Xillia

Current mood: I'm going to fucking dose off man

This is my second attempt at writing a review for this anniversary game. The first draft was written right after I finished Jude's side in 2016, which was such a dumpsterfire mess that I had to delete the whole thing cause what the fuck was that thing kill it with fire!!!!!

Of course, whenever I revisit media after a few years I always gain new insight and cringe at my own writing so here it is! The new review minus the 2016 jokes with a hint of adult cynicism.

Tl;dr: I was too burntout to replay the game as Milla, 6 years has passed, and I'm still burntout but I got things done.

Review: Tales of Symphonia (video game)

*As I write this Tales of Symphonia Remaster was just announced for various platforms... 2 weeks after I beat it (in the form of Chronicles)... omg...*

Current mood: I- who- what is happening? Wha- why am I level 47 holy sh-

Tales of Symphonia is one of the most beloved titles in the Tales series lineup, first released for the Gamecube, PS2, then for its 10th anniversary, bundled with its sequel Dawn of the New World as Tales of Symphonia Chronicles on the PS3.

I got the PS3 version babeyyyy we're going back to our polygonal roots!

(sorry that this is a mobile game art instead of the actual box art or something bc this is literally the only one with all the playable characters that don't feature the sequel characters)
