You know why this game was overlooked?

It's hard, and people don't like strategy sometimes.

It's a shame, but at the same time? Rebirth is -easily- the most strategic of all the tales games. The Three-Line Battle System forces you to think about your movements and formation. The unique setup for your attacks means that, without having to worry about TP, you have to think before you use your ~~eres~~ force. The force cube is an added level of strategy and customization. And upgrading your equipment? While not necessary, it is a very useful feature.

Which is exactly why I like Rebirth. All the other Tales games I can button-mash and still win. It's not effective, but I can still get away with it. With Rebirth, on the other hand, if I button-mash without thinking of what I'm doing, I'm most likely going to die. It's actually challenging, and I like that Rebirth actually makes me think. ~~I just wish I could read the menu D:~~

So, I take it that this game is the strongest title in the Tales series? I don't think I've ever heard anything bad about this game; usually those that have played it like the most. ~~Which is why I'm a little skeptical to try this game. XD~~

Seriously, it sounds good. I'll have to pick it up sometime...

The narrative is a little weak to start off with... I'll see if it picks up later.

I think it's a great shame that this game is overlooked compared with the other ones. It probably has one of my favourite stories, and while the battle system isn't comaprable to any other Tales, it's still a brilliant one once you've learned the ins and outs of it. I liked the Enhance thing too, because you can't go far wrong with updating everyone's equipment well, even though it's in Japanese!

Pretty good premise, though the racism thing is indeed bringing a dark looming angsty moment within the game. Overall, it's pretty good. The story is solid enough for me. It's still a shame that Veigue and Tytree never did get that Hi-Ougi together... i better lower the volume of my TV then. o-o

^ lol, i could die laughing and getting deaf if i use my earphones---/bricked
and i still wonder why oh why they don't get hi-ougi together, other than that!

i really like Rebirth, i don't see anything wrong with it...the customizations stuffs are great IMO.
i guess people overlook it because they can't really understand those stuffs...

The game is fun -- not top-notch, but definitely not below above average...Though the battles do take a bit to get used to, since it took me forever just to figure out how to chain special attacks and control the rage meter-thing. Then again, the problem with not being able to read that guide probably contributed to that...-_-;;

Overall fun (and quite pretty)
