Tales of Symphonia

[gsmithcat]

I just finished this game last night. Has anyone else played it?

I thought it was a lot of fun. The characters and the story were great! I also really enjoyed the combat system.

There's a theme in the game I would like to discuss:

*minor spoilers*

One of the recurring themes seemed to be that it is not worth while or necessary to sacrifice your life for greater good (i.e. saving the world). Although, I think Lloyed can be somewhat of a hypocrite when it comes to his attitude towards self sacrifice. What do you think? Also, do you think Christ's death on the cross counted as a sacrifice being that he was resurrected three days later?

I haven't played this game yet, but everytime I go to the store to buy it I can't even find it!! And now I'm having problems with my bank account so I can't spend any money for a while and its all just blah! But I hear good things about this game and I look forward to playing it, espicially because there's not many RPG's for the GC.

Yes, Christs death on the cross was a sacrifice. His resurrection was Him defeating death, and therefore we can defeat death too if we believe on Him!

I keep hearing nothing but good things about this game. I *may* pick it up eventually.
