I never played through TOS all by myself. I was always playing with at least one or two more people.
The multiplayer is definitely one of favorite things about Tales of Symphonia. It's very fun to play with other people. I very much recommend the anime, which is all available on Youtube with english subtitles. Once you finish there is also some bonus stuff from the DVDs that's absolutely hilarious.
Persona 4 is really that long? I couldn't really tell what the game would be like from seeing the anime. It seemed like if it wasn't done right it'd be pretty repetitive.
I don't remember for sure but I think I had somewhere around 95 hours on my data after I finished Persona 4. So yeah, it's really long. The anime does a good job at portraying the game in so few episodes, but it doesn't have everything in it. For example in the anime there are parts where Yu bonds with the other characters 1 on 1, and in the game these are called social links. While they usually have a small piece of an episode or two in the anime, each social link has 10 parts with each part being at least a couple minutes (usually more). So the social links are a big part of the game. You also live out almost every day in the game, where the anime tends to skip around instead, so in that way, it's true that it can get a bit repetitive, but usually things are happening to keep it interesting. Also, every time they went in the TV world in the anime, they entered a dungeon and fought a boss, but the dungeon was ultra short; In the game on the other hand, the dungeons are actually a little bit lengthy. But honestly, I wouldn't say it's any more repetitive than Tales of Symphonia. Tales of Symphonia might not have huge dungeons, but they come one after the other many times. You won't have that same problem in Persona 4. Ultimately, if you love the story, humor, characters, and cutscenes, and the dungeon crawling between is not something that would bother you, you'll probably love the game. Otherwise, it could quickly become repetitive and boring. Also, there's no multiplayer option like you have in TOS. I really wish more RPG's would include that.
Xillia seems a lot more interesting than Vesperia
Agreed.
