Dhaos caused destruction on the past and was responsable for a war that nearly destroyed manking.
They must face the greatest enemy of mankind Dhaos. Cless and Chester go after him to avenge their beloved ones and discover that the knight is not even the one in command. Suddenly there is plot twist and a mysterious knight kills everyone on the village and burn their houses. The game starts slow with Cless and Chester doing chores to help their parents on the rural village they live. It is nothing major today, but that was back in 1995. The game had swearing, religious references and sexual themes. The story was one of the strong points of the game and also one of the points that got into the way to make a US release. The other characters would attack on their own according to your AI settings. The player could control only one of the characters, the attack and techs were made by pressing the correct buttons or sequence of buttons. It was the hardest of the non-action RPG genre. It was one of the first/few RPGs to feature a difficult level selection. It is hard to explain but the battles were so fast paced that one could end them under 10 seconds or die in under 10 seconds.
The battle system was a hybrid of 2d fighting games and action RPGs. The graphic was so good that later when Namco ported the game to Playstation and Game Boy Advance systems they had no problems with the game looking dated. It is one of the few Snes games to feature real voice acting and a singed opening theme. Released only in Japan, Tales of Phantasia innovated enough in the RPG genre to start the Tales of franchise that have more than 10 games today.Tales of Phantasia is the best looking and most complex game developed for the Super nes.
