    Can someone tell me more about the Tales of series? I've never head a chance to play one and having both a 3DS and PS3 I'm thinking of giving it a shot but I know next to nothing about the series besides for internet praise.

    I finished Tales of the Abyss on PS2 a few months ago. Very anime inspired (as in heavy in the melodrama department.) The soundtrack is weak until the final quarter of the game but overall I really liked it. It's coming out on the 3DS in November if you want to pick it up. I plan on picking it up for a second play though.

    Tales of the Abyss is fairly decent, the main character is a bit of a whiny git but Tear and Jade are excellent characters. The final boss is pretty anticlimactic but the journey is pretty fun, lots of nice towns and character interaction

    Tales of Graces has pretty poor characters and story but a great battle system.

    the battle system in all the games is a sport of actiony beat 'em up-ish styled random battles, pretty fun if you like action RPG, not so great if you're a strategy fan

    Tales of Symphonia is one of the greatest games of all time. Thought it's on the Gamecube, so I'm not sure if you have one (or a Wii) to be able to play it.

    It just had to be said. >_>

    Thanks for the help everyone! Is Tales kinda like FF in that every game has a standalone story and characters or are they interconnected?

    Yes, though Tales of Symphonia got a direct sequel.
