So I've gotta say I'm a fairly minor Tales fan, having played Abyss and the Destiny remake, both of which I greatly enjoyed, but not enough to replay and make use of the ridiculously stupid difficulty settings like some do. I've also never played Symphonia, which everyone raves about yet everyone whose opinion I trust on these things describes as cliche with a battle system like Abyss's with all the Decent sucked clean out.
But when you give me a doujinshi filled with tentacles, combined with Rutee and Philia having a lesbian happy happy fun time near the end of their segment, well. It can't be all that bad.
