Critic Reviews for Tales of Eternia Remastered
I loved taking a trip down memory lane with a game I hadn't played in 20 years, but I don't know if today's players will look at it through the same rose-tinted glasses as I do.
Absolutely, fans of the franchise must play Tales of Eternia, especially if they never got a chance to. This remaster includes some great quality of life improvements that help blend the old with the new without tarnishing the original vision. The game's age still comes through in many aspects, but the new additions help pave the way for a new audience to experience a long-sought franchise entry in the Tales of franchise.
The combat system will appeal to action JRPG fans, as well as fans of 2D fighting games. But the adventuring, dialogue, and pacing are full of JRPG bad habits that modern players have grown tired of.
The emotional characters and story in Tales of Eternia still stand up to the test of time, and shine better than ever thanks to the revamped localisation in this remaster.And while the combat isn't quite able to keep up, the slew of new accessibility features do a lot of heavy lifting to make it more palatable for the modern age.If you go into Tales of Eternia Remastered with an open mind, ready to appreciate its nostalgic value, then there's a lot to love about this faithful update of the classic PlayStation RPG.
Tales of Eternia Remastered brings back a classic 2D Tales adventure, restoring exclusive content cut from prior North American releases.
Tales of Eternia Remastered is the best remaster Bandai Namco has released for this franchise to date. Inferia is a vibrant and captivating world, the game's characters are memorable and lovable, and the ALM battle system still proves entertaining and engaging. Alongside these elements, numerous quality-of-life improvements for better customization, coupled with completely fresh English voice acting, have turned this classic into a highly accessible experience for old fans and new audiences alike.

Tales of Eternia Remastered is a fun action RPG that sits squarely in the early 2000s era so it has a bit of baggage that comes along with it. However, the story, characters, and overall enjoyable battle system make it an experience worth picking up, especially if you're a Tales of fan. ⚔️
Tales of Eternia Remastered impresses with a variety of quality-of-life features and minor improvements to the translation and visual presentation. Those looking to experience the original game with as few changes as possible will find what is arguably the best version of the game here. However, if you were expecting major graphical upgrades or significant gameplay improvements, you may be disappointed. Nevertheless, the many quality-of-life features are well implemented and will make getting into the game much easier, especially for newcomers.
