Tales of...

(Anyone else know where Ratatosk comes from in Mythology?)

Ratatosk is the squirrel on the great tree Yggdrasil in Nordic legend that is supposedly very wise and carries messages up and down the tree between the eagle above and the serpents below.

 

However, Ratatosk does not always deliver the messages clearly and so the anger of the serpents leads to them gnawing upon the roots (there are more than just Nidhogger) while the eagle dives to stop them as a result of the misunderstandings.

Yup. He's a squirrel that lives in the Yggdrasil tree. :3

The naming of centurions in ToS2 is pretty cool, too.

 

Tonitrus = latin for thunder

Tenebrae = latin for shadows/darkness

Aqua = latin for water

Solum = latin for ground

 

I'm sure the other ones have latin-based names, too. :3

Hehe- sorry about that.

 

While I may not be fond of ToS2 though; I admit I do like how they honored the Ratatosk name in more than just "neat name; let's use it". Since in game or mythology, Ratatosk could wind up being at fault for Yggdrasil dying.

Hm... I guess, yeah. I'm a little curious as to who was guarding the gate to the demonic realm while Ratatosk was running around in Emil's body.

-squees-

 

Guess what I just found at Gamestop?

 

...Give up?

 

A great-condition copy of Tales Of Legendia. I can't actually play it yet (no PS2), but I am veeery happy to have it. It's the first Tales game I've actually seen in a video-game store and not obtained via internet.

The fact that Ratty's named after a SQUIRREL makes me LOL every time. xd.png

 

As for the other Centruion names, Aleika...

 

Ventus = Wind

Glacies = Ice

Ignus = Fire

Lumen = Light

 

As for who was guarding it... My guess is no one, seeing as Master Richter was able to force the seal and make pacts with the demons.

 

 

@Ryuu--Emil is one of my favorite characters, and yet... I can't help but LOL so hard at the bad ending. His fail logic just makes me laugh. Am I a bad person for finding it hysterical?

I mean, his logic is just so... STUPID. Yeah, I get what he was trying to do. But did he honestly NOT realize just how likely it would be that somebody he cared about would be badly hurt or even die by his hand? WTF? Is he really that dense? I mean, yeah, he's not the brightest (he obviously only took Aster's looks, not his brains. xd.png), but STILL...

Know you understand, why I severly dislike him.

 

Seriously?

Ricters idewa, was way more better than Emmy's idea, how could you kill the host of the body? (Easy) But then, how could you kill the ruler of the body?

My favorites would be Tales of Phantasia and Eternia.

 

The only thing i find lacking in some tales of(Not all) is the characters don't really have much of a past. Or it's like not described much.

 

Example would be in Vesperia. The only thing i knew bout Yuri is that he used to be a knight. And well his personality,unless i missed some stuff in the game.

I personally like most of his change through teh game, but that endgame part with that stupid plan of his... I want to laugh and put my head through a wall. Seeing as laughing is less painful, I do that.

He so just needs to be Master Richter, I'm so glad we were given such a great name for him in the game. xd.png

 

Aster. There is never enough Aster. There will never be enough Aster..

 

I love Alice's fangs--actually, I just like fangs. xd.png That's one of the few points in Martmart's favor--her fang is cute. xd.png

I think Richter derped in his ultimate plan to get Aster back to life or whatever.

 

He made a deal with demons. The chances of the demons holding up their end of the deal was like infinity to one. C'mon Richter, you're a scientist, you're supposed to be smart.

I loved the Edicts at the beginning of each game:

 

Once upon a time,

There existed

A giant tree that was the source of Mana.

A war, however, caused this tree to wither away,

And a hero’s life was sacrificed in order to take its place.

Grieving over the loss,

The goddess disappeared unto the heavens.

The goddess left the angels with this edict:

"You must wake me, for if I should sleep, the world shall be destroyed."

The angels bore the Chosen One,

Who headed towards the tower that reached up unto the heavens.

And that marked the beginning

Of the regeneration of the world.

 

and the Dwaven vows:

1 Let's all work together for a peaceful world.

2 Never abandon someone in need.

4 Don't depend on others. Walk on your own two legs.

5 The more you add, the worse it gets.

7 Justice and love will always win. (Battle) // Goodness and love will always win. (Story)

9 Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

10 Play hard, play often.

11 Lying is the first step down the path of thievery.

14 Even a small star shines in the darkness.

16 You can do anything if you try.

18 It's better to be deceived than to deceive.

24 Never let your feet run faster than your shoes.

32 Cross even a stone bridge after you've tested it.

41 It's better to begin in the evening than not at all. (ToS) // Haste makes waste. (TotW:RM)

43 Never forget the basics.

55 A bad workman blames his tools.

108 Let a sleeping dog lie.

134 Compassion benefits all men.

OK!

 

**Great Idea Warning**

 

 

 

A Tales Lineage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, most of the Tales character names are already taken on DC unless you go looking into the really obscure games (for english speakers anyway) such as Narikiri Dungeon.
