    Tales shows that smart, solid elements add up to that elusive experience untarnished by time that defines a classic.

    While many of the game's components have become stereotypes over the years, here they are carefully constructed and fit together perfectly, creating something larger than the sum of its parts.

    Not an immediate attention grabber, Tales of Phantasia takes time to sink in. But once you're under its spell, you'll be in it for the long haul. [Apr 2006, p.84]

    While not spectacular by today's standards, Tales of Phantasia still has charm and an uncommon style of gameplay.

    Phantasia is an exciting challenge and a different step from the direction of a lot of other RPGS take, while not the most recognized it definately gets points for originality!… Collapse
