What kind of sick person loves squids? Jeez.
I think we may finally have a problem. There are certain principles (such as fuck the ocean) I can't betray.

Hi. Im Symphonia. In exactly 45 days from now, you and I are going to meet. And were going to fall in love. And were going to get married and were going to have two kids. And were going to love them and each other so much. All that is 45 days away. But Im here now, I guess, because I want those extra 45 days. With you. I want each one of them. And if I cant have them, Ill take the 45 seconds before your boyfriend shows up and punches me in the face. Because I love you. Im always going to love you. Until the end of my days. And beyond.

listen even I have my limits
Plus you'll inevitably have to fight hundreds of men and women to get to her.

The key art for this game was sogood.gif
It evokes the feeling of heavenly themes the game utilizes really well.
Tales of Symphonia was my first Tales game and I just absolutely loved it. Back on Gamecube I played the absolute hell out of it. Based on my love of this game I tried many of the Tales games that followed, but the only one that even came close was Vesperia.
Sometimes you don't need anything particularly original.. Just something cute, nice, and sincere.

You might like Destiny, Eternia, and Phantasia. Also Rebirth, which is one of my personal favorites, but that's in Japanese.
I love love love early Tales games, from Phantasia all the way to Vesperia. Abyss gets a lot of hate, but it might be my absolute favorite (although my reasons why all include spoilers, so I'll refrain from listing them here). After Vesperia, the series lost its way.
I still enjoyed the subsequent games to an extent, but not nearly as much as I did the games from the series' golden age.
don't even try I've seen your posts
Which posts? I'm an innocent latino gay in a white hetero world.
I got the PS4 one (Tales of.. Er.. Fuck.. What's it called? The open world one) but I haven't played it yet. It looks a bit dull. I guess I need to be in the right mood to give it a shot.
The upcoming one -- Berseria or whatever -- Looks promising.
Oh and I loved the opening song and accompanying anime for Vesperia. I'd watch it to completion almost every time I started the game up. I couldn't resist.

Zestiria is my least favorite mainline game by a large margin. Solid B to C-tier RPG, but doesn't begin to touch the others.
Its elemental trials have some great music, though.

I have preferences, but I'm not committed to any type. The guy I'm going out with in a couple hours I don't think fits the type I've been broadcasting.

Be sure to tell him you frequent GAF and are a master of funny pics and dank memes. Works like a charm every time.
I don't have a high consumption rate of JRPGs. The ones that are too weird or too arcane or too anime I find I can't relate to. When a JRPG works for me it's when it has simple relatable and minimally annoying characters.
Final Fantasy, for example, completely lost me after a certain point. 13 and Lightning Returns and all that I find I can in no way connect with. Nothing seems human or interesting or relatable about any of it. Everyone looks plastic and the story is convoluted nonsense. Paupers on the street look like models. By comparison, Dragon Quest games have all types of characters -- Which tend to be simple, yes, but simple is all you need. You can understand them. You can connect.
Incidentally, the Dragon Quest franchise is one of my most beloved life long franchises, and it's nothing but feel good feelings for me. Dragon Quest VIII also happens to be one of the greatest JRPGs ever, if not the greatest. If it tells you anything, I'm a Nintendo kid, grew up in the golden age of NES and SNES, and my affection and nostalgia for Dragon Quest eclipses any I feel for any Nintendo franchise.
They need to fucking port Dragon Quest Builders over to the west already

My top three JRPGs of all time are:
Chrono Trigger
Dragon Quest VIII
Final Fantasy IV
Childhood flooding back.

I can play that song perfectly. Done it so many times. I was in the youth group band in the 90s. =)
Also hung out with Sixpence multiple times, bc my church was used as a concert facility constantly and kids from the youth group would frequently be involved in various capacities
I have Chrono Trigger on DS. I've always meant to play through it -- Because I haven't played it since childhood -- But I keep putting it off. I also keep wondering if it's as good as I remember.
The type that I always looked for was a mix of sorta nerdy with a dash of sarcasm. I guess Spider-Gwen would be an example? I don't know.
Making me laugh would pretty much hook me instantly but I haven't met many people who can legit make me laugh without using GIFS.

Tales of Destiny PS2 (Cliche story done right, AMAZING battle system)
Final Fantasy VII
Suikoden (yes, the original)
Runner-ups
Xenogears
Fire Emblem 7 (does this count?)
I love JRPGs, but at a certain point during the wane of the PS2 era, they went downhill. I think market trends changed to support a more heavily influenced anime aesthetic at the same time that graphics were becoming more realistic, stories were becoming more complex, and voice acting in the west was still not as good as the original Japanese audio. The end result gave us really wacky stories, with really wacky character designs, with some pretty wacky dialogue.
I think I've played most JRPGs made to this day, however, and I don't plan to stop any time soon. I do miss the book reading nature of non-voice acted RPGs. It's what got me into literature as a child. I'm an English teacher now!

He has a vague idea. I've already told him I share game designs and advice with peers on internet forums, and I text him funny junk all the time. I'll hold off on divulging the whole rabbit trail until we get serious.
I think it's fair to say making a girl laugh is probably the most important thing you can do to win her over, but then again not everyone likes or understands sarcasm. My humor is mostly dry wit and wordplay.
And I definitely prefer nerdy guys, at least as long as they're otherwise well-rounded and not afraid to try new things.
Thanks! ♥
Think on the negatives of that person enough to lose interest.
Already did that and I think that worked
the pureness of your negativity is something to be savored
I suggest more sausage in your diet.
I tend to prefer tacos, so I'm going to Chipotle instead.
I'm not quite sure what that means
Vesperia is probably the most well-rounded Tales. I also liked Abyss because it took some risks with its characters and story (and that makes the game divisive). I haven't particularly liked any of them after Vesperia. Graces f in particular was a train wreck (with a decent battle system).
I wanna get high with Yoda.
I would swallow my pride,
I would choke on the rinds, but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside.
Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out,
Find nothing but faith in nothing.
want to put my tender
Heart in a blender,
Watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion.
Rendezvous, and I'm through with you.

If you reverse the genders in your post yeah that's what I'm dealing with. But it's not about being interested in women with heavy amounts of sarcasm. I like someone with enough sarcasm to poke fun at the world when it gets ridiculous but still able to be optimistic when it matters. Basically the pessimist equivalent of an anit-nihilist, or just an anti-nihilist.

Might as well get Bittersweet Symphony out of the way too.
My sarcasm and dry humor is usually met with confusion if people don't know me. It's not often that someone catches onto right away, but if they do it's a huge attraction for me. I'm not sure why I'm so sarcastic and slightly pessimistic. Maybe it's a way to deal with uncomfortable-ness. I've always enjoyed getting people to laugh. 🤷 ¯_(ツ_/¯
Yeeeeeeep. Some of the bigger names are going too far into pop for my tastes.
