Forum Overview :: Reviews :: Re: the old "it really takes off after hour 6!" j_RPG defense

[quote name="Quentin Beck"][quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Bananadine"]Since this thread is being bumped for some reason I feel compelled to comment that FABIO is, characteristically, right about Tales of Symphonia for the wrong reasons. He says (said) the plot is very cliched but it changes quite a lot, again and again, after the point he had reached--in fact it is the most complicated story I have ever encountered in a video game. This is impressive. [/quote] You think Tycho is a good writer.[/quote] It doesn't take off after hour six. It just stops sucking for the particular reason you pointed out, while continuing to suck for various other reasons. For 74 more hours. It is a vast, intricate, impeccably crafted pile of inanity and tedium, and this deserves some sort of weird respect. I don't know what Tycho has to do with this, but I do like him. He has great flair at producing sharp, clever little phrases, and his brand of foolish exaggeration is (unlike yours) somehow compatible with me. I think it is because he consistently makes things sound better than they are, which is inconvenient when you actually try them but quite pleasant right up until then.[/quote]
