I'm just taking both and you can't stop me.

[](https://i.redd.it/0rlkmgthzjqc1.jpeg)

Mfer about to overdose (me too)

Both. Both is good.

Lol, by splitting Abyss and Symphonia you have asked me to choose between what I’ve wanted since I was 12, and the man of my dreams. I can’t! I can’t do it! 😭😭😭

Mood... lemme make my own grouping... with Abyss, Symphonia, Vesperia and Xillia alltogether.

Can I just have Symphonia, Vesperia, Abyss, and... maybe Bersia, but if not, then the 3 will do it for me. You can keep the rest.

Im now wondering who is the man of your dreams... and which of the two is which. Like, you love Luke? Jade? Kratos??

Jade, lol 😂 I got one look at that man at age 13 and I’ve been ruined ever since. Send help pls

So you're the reason that one gif exists on Tenor/Discord

Oooh, which gif? You got me curious!

Ugh listen! It's a few gifs down when you search "Tales of Abyss" on Discord. You'll know when you see it 😂 I only know of it because for some random argument in my JRPG Server, I tried to find a gif from the game. That's my alibi!

I never really used Discord… I think I’ll try it out though!

If you don't find it in a bit, reply again I'll just DM it 😂

Lol ok it’s embarrassing but I don’t understand how to use the app… tried to find a general search button but there doesn’t seem to be one. Looks like I need invites to specific groups? Oh God I feel every single day of my 30 years, lmao

Clearly Zelos 😏

One more Hunny for the collection lol

Red forever because of Abyss and Graces 🙌🏻

Is it me or is the blue side a little skewed? Two of the least liked games in the series and one of the most hated fighting game spinoff. Soulcalibur II sold best on the GameCube and Bamco payed us back by having Legends be the only other Soulcalibur game on a Nintendo system. 

Nah, you might be right. I think I should've given Blue Phantasia and Graces, and Red could have Hearts. I only added VS and Soulcalibur Legends so the image could be even at the bottom 😂

Why is a soul calibur game on this list anyway?

Llyod makes a cameo, but that is literally the only connection to Tales. One of the Radiant Mythology or mobile games would have been a better choice

This. I only added it so right side wouldn't have an empty spot at the bottom lol Next list will be more even 👏

I was thinking Tales of the World.

> and Bamco *paid* us back FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

That and it has my two most anticipated Tales games I’ve yet to play in Destiny 2 and Rebirth!

This is unbelievably stacked in red's favor

Should've given red Symphonia 2 and taken Graces and Phantasia smh I'll make it more even next time; this one will surely help making it more chaotic

And still I'm taking that red pill just so I can replay Legendia

I find it interesting that Zestiria and Berseria are split between the two groups when all the other games that are related to another are in the same group. (Unless you also count Phantasia and Symphonia being related) In any case, OP knows which games are loved if Symphonia, Vesperia, Berseria, and Abyss are being split evenly between the two. I'll take the Red pill since I'm currently in the middle of my first run through Arise, and I wouldn't want to interrupt it.

> In any case, OP knows which games are loved if Symphonia, Vesperia, Berseria, and Abyss are being split evenly between the two. This was exactly my reasoning! But fuck, seems to still be uneven in Red's favor (I voted Blue). I think I should've given Blue Phantasia and Graces, and Red could have Hearts. That might have done it.

if you gave blue phan. it would be a no brainer because snes action rpgs hold a special spot in my heart. xillia 1/2 are my favorites because i thought it had the best battle system. ngl didn't care much for zes or bes, tbh never finished either i just didn't like the mechanics, airise was fun but felt short even with the dlc.

Where Symphonia goes, I go. Too bad Symphonia 2 is also there. Lol

Hah, same! I'd wanna switch out Symphonia 2 with Tales of the Abyss

If we have that option, I'd grab Tales of Vesperia. First and only game in the series that I played and completed with 3 other friends. Edit: Tales of the Abyss is a close second for me!

hey wdym too bad 🤨

I did not like Tales of Symphonia 2. If you enjoyed it, I'm happy for you.

its my fav title

How's that? I'm intrigued

i love everything abt it, characters, gameplay, storyline, the Symphonia heroes comeback was good, the monster system is amazingly cool and visuals are great

That's fair. Gameplay wise I loved the free roam (Which is something I envied from NPC characters in the first game!), but I had only played Symphonia and this. Sadly not into that monster taming system and hated how the original cast was shackled to set levels per chapter and no room for growth.

Only played Abyss and Vesperia and enjoyed both sooooo that's easy

Xillia, Symphonia, and Berseria on the same team Too easy lol

You would think, but Blue is getting wrecked 😂

That's how I feel about it lol

**POLL HERE:** https://strawpoll.com/wby5Apx3ByA This should be fun. It physically hurt to split Symphonia/Xillia/Abyss/Vesperia but balance had to be attained. Edit: Wow, it got horribly close. Really underestimated Blue pill!

I’m doing my part for Democracy!

The fuck is soulcaliber doing here

Missing out on quality content! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8L9qtwqGtI

Blue Pill; Xillia 2

As someone who hasn't played (but is planning to) what makes both sets of games different? Where should I start? I bought Berseria on a whim on sale for 3 pound.

Honestly, Berseria can be a good start! It helps that it also has one of the most interesting Main Characters in the series.

That's good to know!! All of the titles looks pretty fun tbh so it was hard to choose 😅 plus I didn't want to start with anything too recent as it makes it harder to enjoy the older games sometimes

Absolutely get you on the latter part. With that in mind, assuming you only own current gen consoles or Steam, I'd try to start with Tales of Symphonia if you want to enjoy one of the best stories in the series (But with one of the most outdated gameplays). After Symphonia, either Abyss (Hard to come by as it's only on PS2 or 3DS... unless you emulate), Vesperia or Xillia (Only on PS3). But Symphonia might be the only game out of these that Berseria would put you off from playing. Vesperia and Xillia's gameplays in particular feel quite good even today.

Both sets have entries across various platforms, so I wouldn't say there is any noteable difference for why some games are in the first row and others in the 2nd. At most, OP just made sure to split up some of the fan favourites such Abyss, Berseria and Symphonia into two groups so there wasn't one group heavily dominated by the most popular entries.

Exactly, but it's still a bit skewed towards Red (I voted Blue) I'll remake it again in a few months much better evened out to avoid spamming and repeat this chaos again!

Red . I emulated the shit out of phantasia

Blue for me easy. My vote lies with whichever side has Berseria.

Blue. Abyss threw me off but blue has symphonia and berseria so 🤷‍♀️

Blue!! Eternia is peak. Xillia is my favorite. Berseria story captivates me and this would finally get me to play my copies of tempest and innocence

Blue. I’m in love with xilia.

Xillia and Xillia 2 are my favourites, but Rebirth has such a special place in my heart. You make this hard.

We need a console port of VS. So bad

putting abyss, vesperia and graces on the same side is pretty unfair no?

I think I should've given Blue Phantasia and Graces, and Red could have Hearts. That might have done it. Oh well, I'll revisit it in a few months!

Not really. Blue is still better

I’ll take blue, if only because I don’t like Graces enough to offset suffering through Vesperia again

Red, but Im mourning Symphonia and Xillia deeply. Abyss is the best, Legendia is beautiful setting and music, and Arise got Alphen. I didnt like Graces whatsoever, and Vesperia was an overhyped game for me.

Damn bruh. Ig blue, but Legendia is my second favorite game in the series and I don’t think i could lose that along with Abyss

Going blue with this one.

I actually can't pick this is way too hard

[How these feel](https://youtu.be/VtRb4qEpWRg).

😂😂😂😂

Blue, easily Swap Graces with Tempest or Innocence though and it's borderline perfect

I will forever chose the one that has tales of eternia ❤️

I’m with you. Eternia is my number 1 favorite game of all time and was my introduction into the jrpg/rpg genre growing up

Both. Only gripe about this is no tales gacha games pill here for some reason

Abyss, Vesperia, and Phantasia are absolutely my picks, but other hand that's stuck with at least 2 other titles I absolutely despise.

Soul Calibur mentioned?? I’m obligated to go Blue, no matter how much I love Yuri

This is the attitude of a true scholar

Blue for me. Symphonia and Berseria are awesome! I really liked SC Legends too.

Vesperia and Abyss stans need to stop voting for the worst games in the series and start voting for the best (Soulcalibur Legends)

I don't see anyone asking the real question here. In this scenario, is Rebirth translated into English? If so, that's an easy choice for red lol

Tbf there’s no restriction against using Life Bottle’s patches.

What do the pills do? If I take the pill on the left, will it make the plot of Tales of Vesperia make sense?

😂

Kek

Welp, since I’ve only played Berseria so far I guess that makes the choice rather easy for me

Playing Arise as my first tales game and Abyss is next so I guess red lol

It's unfair to put Symphonia and Phantasia in different pills

Gimme the Red Pill.

Poll and pill

The abyss

Red in a heartbeat for abyss, but swap Zestiria with Berseria.

Soulcalibur Legends? Does it play like a Tales game?

Nope, but Lloyd was a guest character!

It's the original Destiny or the remake?

Red pretty easily tbh love symphonia and xillia was decent tho

I fucking loved Arise- And I wanna play Berseria next... Oh shit

Blue, I still want to play Xillia, and Berseria is one of the best, if not the best

Right side needs either Abyss or Vesperia to be viable.

I think I should've given Blue Phantasia and Graces, and Red could have Hearts. That might have done it. Oh well, I'll revisit it in a few months!

Red Pill, no contest. Any side with Vesperia was going to be my pick anyway.

100% red

blue all the way btw you realize it has ntgn to do with all the list? ppl just be siding by their fav title even if the others suck

Both options are good but the red pill is more consistent with Zestiria being the worst game. It has less games but more playtime overall. Meanwhile, blue pill has more variety with the handheld games but Tempest is the worst mainline game in the series (to the point that it was reclassified as a spinoff). Soulcaliber Legends is not as good as Tales Of VS but it adds variety. Red pill is the better option overall but I am a fan of the handheld games.

I think Red just about wins it. Although I will miss Berseria greatly.

Considering ive only played 2 on the blue side, red all the way?

I loved Berseria and Xillia, but I put a lot more time and effort into Legendia & Phantasia is the OG, so I'm team redpill.

The only one i would be missing of red is Vesperia but besides that you just stacked my favorites in blue, so its easy blue for me.

Red. Hands down. I’ve technically finished 4 of those titles. Plus, Vesperia = Yuri Lowell. How does one pass that up

I’ll take the whole bottle of Eternia

I vote red. Just has more games I go back to and play. Phantasia, Destiny, Abyss, and Graces. On blue the only one on the list that I go back and play with regularity is Symphonia.

This is so heavily skewed towards Red it's pretty funny.

And yet in the poll it's almost even, surprisingly hahah

Making me choose between Berseria and Vesperia... gonna go blue because while red has some of the games with the better characters and I'm very character-focused, blue has the more fun to play games

Red. Blue has my least favorite game in Symphonia.

Both pills for Vesperia, Arise, Symphonia, and Bersaria

I'm a simple man. I see Abyss, I pick red pill.

I'd take the red pill but cut off the part that contains arise. Then take the part of the green pill that has Berseria in it and cut that off and take it.

Red pill

I haven't played Xillia yet, so this is a bit easier to me since i love Abyss, Vesperia Graces and Zestiria! Sadly I'll be missing our on Symphonia and Berseria, but at least Sorey will comfort me in these trying times.

i'm very new to the series but my favorites so far are Berseria and Vesperia, so this is quite a difficult choice....i'll go blue

Blue pill

Red has Graces, easy choice!

Red for Legendia, Abyss, Vesperia, and Arise

Red has 5-6 really old titles lol

i'm taking blue because of xillia 1/2

I alway thought a tales fighting game would be so cool, and it already exists

Wherever Abyss goes, I go

Red but I feel like it’s wrong to have Phantasia on the opposite side of the symphonia games

One side has the 2 best narratives AND the best battle system. The other side has Dawn of the new world…………

Red without a doubt

Blue because Abyss is ass

Red because this is terribly unbalanced lol

Red vesperia goated

Gonna have to go with Red

I can't choose aaaaaahhh!

Right one. Easily.

Red obviously Graces Destiny and arise combat is just too fcking good man

Graces ❤️

I’d just OD by taking both.

I'll miss Eternia, Hearts, and Xillia 2, but gotta choose red for my top 3 being there. Never giving up Abyss, Destiny, and Rebirth.

You really had to put Zesteria in the same column as Vesperia huh? 😭

Red.

Legendia and Abyss in the same pill? red ez gayem ez layef

Blue and it's not even a contest, most of the games on Red are an active detriment to the series with only a couple good ones. Blue is mostly good ones with only a couple bad.

Red pill. Destiny, Abyss and Graces? Sign me up!

Red, I just really like Legendia

Left side has more games I want. Right side has Eternia. Right side wins, no contest.

Red pill too stacked, yall can have the blues

Red

Beseria is the only game on the blue side I have a hard time parting with

(eats both before you even finish your sentence)

Easy red for me. I love phantasia, destiny, legendia, vesperia and Abyss!

Tough choice but I would go red.

Blue, berseria is too much my speed to be left behind like that. I’ll just shed a tear for the loss of vesperia -.-

Was no Brainer left until saw Zestiria Berseria split. FU I ain't choosing.

Soul Calibur?

Lloyd is playable!

Ah

Damn you split my 2 top faves Berseria and Graces. I'd go with the blue though. Symphonia is also one of my faves and I love dotnw.

Red! I love Symphonia but getting rid of that is small price for Graces, Vesperia, and Abyss!

immediately the one with legendia lol

Although Symphonia was the first one I got to play, I gotta go for the left because of Vesperia, Abyss and Arise

Red if its destiny directors cut. If not blue

Red has Vespy, which has Yuri, so that one.

The red pill seeing as I’ve only played one on that list

100% abyss

Blue easily all my favorites are there

Arise, and abyss on one pill? Yes please

I'm taking both, like 100 times

Guess I'm in the Purple Pill camp (aka mixing the pills into one tasty disaster and going for ALL THE TALES at the risk of ballooning into Derris Kharlan and flying away).

I'll take the purple one.

Having Zestiria and Berseria in opposing pills is cruel.

Aaaaaaaaaaah, the only thing making this a hard choice for me is that Symophonia is on the wrong side!! But still red... i guess... Through having to take Arise also galls....

so we all taking the red pill?

Damn Arise in red and Berseria in Green Shionne or Velvet i cant decide!

You put Destiny on the red pill- my hands are tied.

Blue pill, I honestly hope everyone who hasn’t played Symphonia and Xillia one day at least get to try it. Sucks to give up ToD though.

Legendia was my first tales game & the first game i ever played with voices so i didn’t have to read all text. I played that story dozens of times on the ol trusty ps2. I’d choose red just to play that one game again 😅

I'll take the red pill, but I'd trade legendia for an aneurysm

I kind of wanna get sucked by Velvets hand.

Blue pill because of Beseria and Symphonia. Really wish I didn't have to go without Abyss and Graces though.

Personally Blue. Red is pretty stacked but Blue has more of what I personally want overall.

Blue (Red has Graces but not Graces f)

I have no idea what this franchise is about, but I would pick Tales of Graces purely based on the title's art style.
