New Review Posted: Tales of Phantasia

Tera reviews Tales of Phantasia, and finds it an entertaining throwback:

"All videogame genres have their own set of cliches, but role-playing games (RPGs) have always been among the worst offenders for me. Pick up any RPG at random, and you'll probably find 1) a young male hero with a funny name who must set out "all alone" on an adventure, 2) magic (and 2a: a female healer who's a lousy fighter), 3) a vaguely medieval setting, 4) teenage sexual tension, and 5) at least two "final boss" battles. Namco's Tales of Phantasia has all these clichés in abundance. But the game handles them so well that it's made me see why these things became clichés in the first place."

You may read the ways in which excellence is occurred here.
