Tales of Phantasia: Full Voice

Originally released for the Super Famicom in 1995, the Full Voice edition of Tales of Phantasia represents the fourth rehash of the game since the first release. At the outset of the adventure, four heroes are fighting a feathery-blond-haired wizard named Dhaos. One of the heroes has already fallen and things are looking bleak until a magician casts a powerful spell that transforms Dhaos into a ball of energy and sends him sailing. He soars for a while until he plummets back to earth in his natural form. There, the heroes lock the evil wizard away inside a sarcophagus by using the power of two magic pendants. With the evil sealed from the world, peace returns and all is well. That is, until a knight is deceived into using the two pendants to break the seal and release Dhaos into the wilds once again.

Players take on the role of 17 year-old Cless Alvein, a knight-like warrior in shining armor who teams up with Chester Barklight, Mint Adnade, and other kindred spirits. When the game proper starts, Cless is speaking to his father Miguel when Chester comes by so the two boys can go hunting. After mama gives Cless some Apple Gel, the hunters head out for South Forest where they chase a boar and battle some giant bees... As indicated by the title of the game, Namco fleshes out the voices in the PSP version of Phantasia with new voice samples and sequences. Professional actors and actresses lent their vocal talents to the dialogue for added theatrics and an enjoyable listening experience. Cut scenes and updated graphics also add value to the new Phantasia.
