I just got this in the mail today. People say Final Fantasy 6 or Chrono Trigger are some of the best SNES RPGs. And I'd agree that those are pretty high up there in my list, but people over here in the states probably never played this gem. The first, ever, console RPG to have voice acting (old PC games did it before this, but I'm talking specifically home consoles) and an opening theme that had lyrics in it. I'm referring to Tales of Phantasia. Not the god-awful GBA port with its many technical problems and framerate issues, but the original Super Famicom version. The PS1 version is pretty awesome too, but this specific version has a lot of pedigree and history to it.

It's a shame most people didn't get to play this game when it first came out, because it never came to the states (because of fucking course it didn't ;w; ). Also Arche Klein and Suzu Fujibayashi are both too cool for school <3

I actually managed to get this in its original box as well as with its manual. The only problem with the game itself is that it doesn't save. Yeah, unfortunately cartridge based games like this suffer from their batteries running dry over the years so you have to manually change them out.
