Tales of Eternia returns as a remastered edition! As the threat of world destruction looms, an epic journey begins to determine the fate of two worlds: Inferia and Celestia.
Tales of Eternia Remastered attempts to recapture the excitement experienced on PlayStation. However, it arrives on the new generation with little charisma and lacking the brilliance it likely had.
Absolutely, fans of the franchise must play Tales of Eternia, especially if they never got a chance to. This remaster includes some great quality of life improvements that help blend the old with the new without tarnishing the original vision. The game's age still comes through in many aspects, but the new additions help pave the way for a new audience...
The real-time combat and darker story still make Tales of Eternia a worthwhile RPG, and its generous quality-of-life options make revisiting it far less of a grind.
From destroying a legendary piece of animation to scattershotting sprite filtering to no useful end, this is a fumble that makes my heart hurt. The restored skits are nice, but that’s like pouring a glass of water on a fire.
I loved taking a trip down memory lane with a game I hadn't played in 20 years, but I don't know if today's players will look at it through the same rose-tinted glasses as I do.
