  1. "Tales of" Games Update

     

    The Tales of games span across consoles, from the Super Nintendo, on through the Playstation 4.

    I'm just gonna focus on the ones for the Playstation 1, since that's what this thread is all about.

     

    My brother and I have played almost every Tales of game, together, since most are multiplayer (during the battles). These games are in the Japanese RPG genre, but with a twist. The battles are not menu-driven.

    Well, to be fair, you can open a menu during battles, and it pauses the battle, and you can manually select items to use, change button layouts, spells, skills, and stuff, but really, you mostly are gonna be using button combos for your standard and special attacks.

     

    The things I like the best about the Tales of Series, are the storylines, and the exploration.

    Tales of Phantasia is a re-make of Namco's very first Tales of game.

    It was originally made for the Super NES, and has been re-released on several platforms, including the PSOne.

    The Disk Art shown above is not official. It's something my brother made for the English-Patched version of the Japanese game.

    It's about a dude named Cress, and his best friend Chester, and there's Time Travel, and a Mana Tree, and there is a Half-Elf named Arche that rides on a broom. Hilarity ensues.

     

    The PS1 version, of this game, never got an official English release,

    but there's a link to a fan-made patch, a few posts above this one.

     

    Tales of Destiny

    http://youtu.be/hlkxTnjdLrk

     

    It's about a dude named Stahn, who sleeps like a rock, and meets a Talking Sword,

    and meets Other People, and more Talking Swords,

    and they have to save the world, and stuff.

     

    Tales of Destiny II (Eternia)

    Synopsys Coming Soon!


    ===== Update =====

     

    Tales of Destiny II (Eternia)

    http://youtu.be/gV2LtbRgJ64 <-- Link to the YouTube video of the Opening Animation

    There's no sound until the 15 second mark. That's normal.

     

    Of the three, this one has the best storyline, IMHO.

    It also features tons of English voice acting, and has lost of anime style cutscenes.

    Reid and Farah, meet a strange girl named Meredy, in the forest, and they embark on a quest, to help out Meredy.

  2. I also have three "Tales of" Games for PSone.

    I'll take some photos, and talk about them, after I finish eating dinner.

     

    One of them (Tales of Phantasia) never officially got an English version, but there's a patch available.

     

    Also, Tales of Eternia was re-named "Tales of Destiny II" when released officially in the USA, which is confusing,

    because Eternia is not a sequel to Destiny,

    AND as there is a "Tales of Destiny II" game for PS2 that IS a sequel to Destiny. :confused:

  3. oh god, i have TONS of playstation games... they are all good, heres a quick list.

    some of these will probably be said before, but this is my favs

    castlevainia sotn

    final fantacy anthology (ff6 is my fav of all ff games)

    grand turismo (1 and 2)

    all of the resident evils (director cuts if you can)

    all of the metal gear solid games

    twisted metal (any of them)

    tales of destiny

    beyond the beyond

    final fantacy 7-8-9(i think they are all ps1)

    nightmare creatures

    red asphalt

    colony wars

    C&C

    ridge racer

    armored core masters of the arena (you can make and fight many, MANY, armored units!!!)

    vagrent story

    valkirye prophile

    omega boost

    ratchet and clank

    jack and daxter

    bloody roar ( any of them, but the new breed is my fav!)

     

    thats all that i can think of at the moment...

    Does Final Fantasy Anthology come with Chrono Trigger? Or is it the other FF-Pack thing?

     

    Chrono Trigger is one of my all time fav SNES Games. I also have the DS Version, but haven't played it much cause I would rather play it on a TV.

     

    I've been thinking about getting the Playstation version. I heard it has anime cutscenes and other extra stuff. :pinkie:

  4. Wow! This thread has strange timing... My brother recently acquired a refurbished PSOne! Like, two days ago!

     

    I've been playing the first Wild ARMS game on it. It's pretty awesome!

    post-29629-0-32409700-1472854132.png

     

     

    I've played the PS2 version of the first game, before (Alter Code:F), but according to my brother, and my early experiences so far,

    the PS2 version is not just a prettied up version of the PS1 Game.

    They are, like, very different games.

    Both are cool, though.

     

    ====================

    He also got Wild Arms 2. I've only played it a little bit.

    post-29629-0-17814600-1472855063_thumb.png

     

     

    I'm not to sure about this game.

    My brother says the storyline is kinda darker than the other games...

    But I'm gonna try to be brave, and give it a go, after I finish playing the First Game. :awuh:

     

    ====================

    A certain somepony wants me to mention an advantage you have, when playing PS1 games on a PS1, instead of a download from the Playstation Store...

    post-29629-0-79481600-1472855387_thumb.png

     

    Any old Gameshark will work on the gray Playstations,

    but the GameShark Lite is designed to also be compatible with the white "slim/small" PSOne systems.

     

    If you aren't in the USA, i think they call them Action Replay or Codebreaker or something like that...

  5. As promised, here are photos of The Princess Collection books:

    The_Princess_Collection_Books_123_1.png         The_Princess_Collection_Books_123_2.png

    Princess Celestia and The Summer of Royal Waves,   Princess Luna and The Festival of the Winter Moon,

     

    The_Princess_Collection_Books_123_3.png

    Princess Cadance and The Spring Hearts Garden

     

    Twilight Sparkle and the Forgotten Books of Autumn

    will be released on Nov 1'st, 2016. :twi:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Here's a group shot of the Paperbacks I own, so far:

    MLP_Paperback_Books_2016_Aug_28.png

    Twilight Sparkle and The Crystal Heart Spell

    Pinkie Pie and the Rockin' Ponypalooza Party!

    Rainbow Dash and The Daring Do Double Dare

    Rarity and The Curious Case of Charity

    Applejack and The Honest-to-Goodness Switcheroo

    Fluttershy and The Fine Furry Friends Fair

     

    It's cheaper to get the Box Set, of the Mane Six's Books, instead of buying them individually.

     

    The following two books aren't part of the box set:

    Discord and The Ponyville Players Dramarama

    Lyra and Bon Bon and The Mares from S.M.I.L.E.

     

    Speaking of Box Sets...

    MLP_Equestria_Girls_Books_1.png

     

    The Friendship Through the Ages Boxed Set comes with the first four movie Books.

    Book 5 and Book 6 are sold separately.

     

    MLP_Equestria_Girls_Books_2.png

     

    Amazon has Book 7, The Legend of Everfree, set for release on Sept 6'th.

    I dunno why that is.

    I mean, I know That Movie will premier on Netflix, on Oct 1'st...

    and the Blu Ray and DVD will be released on Nov 1'st...

    Seems weird to release the Book before The Movie. :huh:

     

    Maybe it'll air on Cable TV earlier?

    Been avoiding the Movie Forums, because spoilers, and watching the Episodes through iTunes, so I dunno...

  6. The_Bookstore_1.png

     

    I just finished reading the two "Princess Collection" books shown above (for Celestia and Cadence), while I wait for Amazon to deliver the Luna one, and a bunch of other Pony Books!

     

    I'll show more photos of the Celestia and Cadence books (I bought them locally, yesterday) along with today's New Books, once they arrive.

     

    It just started raining. Again. I'm gonna put my raincoat back on, get my Umbrella, and stand next to my mailbox. :awuh:

     

    Books + Rain =  :(

  7. i dont have a pic... but i got the small RD plushie, ive been looking for the AJ one as well, but walmart has only restocked the larger pinky pie, rarity, and fluttershy (or they don't restock at all) i would get more, but their selection is limited to 3-6 big plush, 1-2 small plush, lots of the "random packs" (I cheated and looked close enough to get an RD) and cupple of the EQG figures...(i have EQG RD)... ive been to brony.com and seen their merch... but i lack the funds to go "pony mad"... and if you haven't guessed yet... RD and AJ are ones I would be going for... other too, but I don't know how many "ponies" they have/will make...

    Hallmark Stores also stock the smaller Pony Plushies, as does Hastings, CVS, and Walgreens.

     

    Some Grocery Stores, such as Kroger, have some near the Greeting Cards on the end caps of the aisles. ;)

  8. Speaking of Store-Exclusive Sets, Toys R Us has a new one (that I lovingly call "The Glitter Minis") called The Elements of Friendship.

    Kinda makes me think of The Glitter Force... :D

     

    Toys_R_Us_Glitter_EG_Minis_1.png

    As far as I know, The Elements of Friendship set is sold as three separate packages.

    One for Dashie, one for AJ, and one for the remaining four of the Mane Six (Rarity, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, and Pinkie Pie).

  9. After much thought, I finally bought the Wonderbolts collection from Target, mainly for the Derpy figure.  Goes nice alongside my SDCC 2012 Derpy and the friends collection Derpy.

     

    But other than any future exclusives, this could end up being my last traditional MLP set since I may move onto the Guardians of Harmony(Mostly the smaller figures, though I may get the Tirek Castle set that's rumored to be coming soon)

    Would love to see some photos, when you get the time. ;)

     

    Target_Exclusive_Wonderbolts_Collection_

    Is this the Target Exclusive Wonderbolts set, with Derpy, you are talking about?

    The only Guardians of Harmony figure I have, so far, is Princess Celestia. Photos coming soon.  :please: 

    I'm also looking forward to the release of the smaller GoH figures, they look really cool.  :pinkie:

     

    Kinda glad there was a pause in new Pony Merch, for a while there.

    Gave me the chance to put monies aside for my Rainy Day Pony Fund. :idea:

  10. 0.o

     

    thats 106 too many ponies

     

    you just need a ruby splash plush

    You can never have enough Ponies. Maybe too many Pinkies. Not sure...? :ooh:

    I also need a Ruby Splash Plushie! 

    I totally just ordered This One on eBay:

    post-29629-0-69765900-1471104585_thumb.png

     

    Should arrive in a few days. :pinkie:

     

    Nothing.

    Never bought ANY MLP merch before. Probably going to stay that way even though my B-day is coming up. Even though I am a brony and as a brony I am obligated to have something MLP-related in my house, I don't. I don't even have MLP wallpaper on my computer.

     

     

    Those are huggables. You're supposed to snuggle with them. SNUGGLE 

     

     

    *is in the USA*

    OH NO IT'S A FOREIGNER THEY'RE TAKING OUR P0NES

    Oh, they're called Huggables, eh? Well, My Little Pony Plushie Snuggling isn't limited to the Huggables. I don't discriminate, when it comes to Snuggles. :kindness:

     

    Speaking of Snuggles, and eBay... I recently acquired a hand-made Angle Bunny from a seller on eBay!

  11. My Big Brother spotted the all 6, of the Mane Six, in their Plushie form, that look like they're flying, all in a single store (Target) and brought them home!

     

    So I did what anypony would do, I busted out the Coloring Books, and welcomed them with Crayons!

    They only had the "Flying(?)" versions of the Mane Six, so I have to make do with this different Ditzy Do plushie, till then. :squee:

     

     

     

    Photo Comic in Spoiler Tags, because Image sizes. :please:

  12. Ebgames in Canada, GameStop in the US

     

    I got a pair of them for my niece, 2 months ago, at a local Gamestop, in Texas.

     

    I still have a ton of Pony Merch I haven't posted to this thread... Yet!

    Been super busy! :rarity:

     

    Recently snagged a 4-pack if IBC Root Beer, made with Real Sugar. :pinkie:

     

    Ok, I know that's not pony related... Or is it?

    post-29629-0-71573000-1469214160_thumb.png

     

    Well, sort of a full set. Still need the brushable version of Twilight...

     

    Oh, by the way, you can click on the photos to enlarge them.

    ***** This will prolly auto-merge with my previous post *****

     

    Snagged some photos of my two new plushies Lyra and Bon Bon (AKA Secret Agent Sweetie Drops).

    They're not 4de, but they're still pretty cool.

    Recently purchased something new for once, though it is sorta not pony, but is pony. If that makes sense. It was the new Equestria Girls figure for Rarity, the figure that actually looks really good. Pretty cute I have to say. 

    You should totally post some photos of her. :)

  14. I bought a McD happy meal in hopes of getting Starlight Glimmer. I got Rarity which annoyed me at first because you know, I can go pick her up everywhere for three bucks. But then I got over my annoyance because I realized how customizable she is and I'm waiting for her to dry. She's gonna be a very pretty green, purple and white unicorn called Bamboo Shoot. Maybe with my new paint markers, I won't screw her symbol up because I'm horrible at drawing. Wish me luck. :)

    With Hopes for your Hand to Draw True,

    I verily say, Good Luck, to You!

  15. The master IS BACK!

    Ponies sitting in a bucket...why not a single artist came up with that? It is so cute on so many levels!  :wub:

    Where are others, though? :o Are those the only plushies you got?

    I'm still waiting on Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and The Great and Powerful Trixie.

    Amazon.com has the first two in stock, still, for anypony looking for them.

    Trixie appears to be sold-out everywhere.

     

    I order through Entertainment Earth cause they offer FedEx shipping.

    In my area, both UPS, and the US Postal Service, tend to crush packages...

    All three of the above are on Back-order, on their website, at this time.

    :(
