Which is the better Tales of Phantasia?

[Captain Clordio]

The one for Snes(patched), or the one for the GBA?

[iball®]

GBA version.

[Exophase]

SNES version.

[GLiTcH]

SNES :Jump:

[delight1]

since you asked in the psp section, i would say the snes runs better :P

[iball®]

Oh, you're talking about either the SNES ROM or the GBA ROM?
Gee, I have to still say GBA version since the cart runs damn fine on my GBM.
I thought you were actually talking about the GAME itself.

[Exophase]

The SNES VERSION is superior. Yes, even considering the fan translation vs. the official American translation.

I don't know which one runs better emulated, but gpSP might actually run the GBA ROM better than SNES9x TYL runs the SNES ROM...

Props to iball though, for taking yet another opportunity to say "GBA games run great on my real GBA lolz newbs", thread wouldn't be complete without it.

Bah, this is a damn PSP forum. Go to a GBA forum if you wish to talk about your precious GBA (or maybe you like to call it a GBM?).

So are you going to sit there and blabber all day about nothing or make a decision on which ROM is better?

I think I'll blabber all day.

I'm surprised that you didn't comment ********'s post though. [sarcasm]Good work iball![/sarcasm]

[iball®]

As usual.

Right.......

If your talking ROM's why don't you go a step further and get the PSP ToP ISO. ZOMG!

No ISO talk here :rtfm:

[Basil-Culex]

SNES in terms of saving psp battery(and small sprite graphics)

GBA in terms of english voice understanding and better graphics(bigger)

i would choose SNES

[Kartoon]

Thanks, hypocrite site. Can't talk about PSP ISO's but can talk about GBA ROM's....yup.

And there is a difference between mentioning and talking about it. I think you need to "RTFM".

English GBA version has terrible voice acting. And terrible music conversion (listen to the GSFs then the SPCs if you don't believe me). And no theme song.. no sound test either..

actually its better to me unlike the SNES's studdering voice acting

havent listened to the music, and ya, i hate the fact that it doesnt have the sound test.

which is why i would perfer the SNES version

[NickyP]

Tales Of Phantasia has alot slower battles on GBA than SNES (not talking about with speed of the emulators, I mean normally). So if you want a shiny and prettier one, GBA. If you want a fast one, SNES.

[SeikenZ]

I found the SNES version's graphics even more attractive than those of the GBA version. So.. SNES, I like the japanese language tebayo..

Simply because Nintendo has nothing against people talking about their ROMs but Sony does have serious legal problems with people who talk about their... uh... games' backup images. Please do refrain from even mentioning them here.

Back to the topic at hand, I'll have to agree that the SNES version looks crisper and sharper while the GBA version looks somewhat... low-res. Also not to mention the SNES version has better sound and music and effects. The GBA version, IMO, has terrible voice acting with weird translation, no sound test, terrible theme song that is only in the Japanese version, and low-res versions of the PS1 version graphics (sprites, backgrounds, etc) so... it's good only for the GBA. If you go for quality, the SNES version is the one you want to get. Also... Cless sounds more appealing to me than Cress...

[Kartoon]

So if I phone Sony, say ISO then hang up they are going to hunt me down?

And yes, the SNES version is far better (plus the trans. patch if you want english).

[Exodus]

I place my vote on the SNES version, with the DeJap patch.

[RunawayPrisoner]

Kartoon: See what they did to Booster? And the Connectix? And then Bleem!? I'm sure you don't wanna mess with those guys.

Wow, never have I lol'd so hard.


Thanks guys. I'm going to go ahead and use the SNES version. Sorry if this started an illegal warez war.

[Basil-Culex]

lol. wonder how the psp version will be like lol

[Captain Clordio]

lol. wonder how the psp version will be like lol

Sadly, probably a port of the psx version.

[TheEmulatorGuy]

SNES vs. GBA? Forget that. The PSX version is superior to both.

Yeah, but can we perfectly emulate that one? no... so that's not an option ;)

[Basil-Culex]

i hope its 2.71 at least when it comes out, so i can dev hook it lol
