| Tales of Phantasia [JP] Game Boy Advance NAMCO - Wolf Team Role-Playing Game Based on the RPG classic, another remake is made to the Game Boy Advance. Since this game (at the time) still hasn't moved to the United States, and well, the fact that the US version sucks, this game is worth reliving with plenty of special features from the SNES version. Cless Alvein is a swordman who seeks revenge for the massacre of his hometown, and the loss of his best friend, Chester. In truth, the people who murdered his family and friends were actually searching for a pendant that was given to him. With slight fear for his life, he embarks on a journey and learns of the startling history of his homeland, Aselia, as well as a unknown Demon King bringing fear to everyone. With new friends from both the present, past, and future, he engages in real-time combat.
