Patch:Review by CheeseCake:I would like to say something first before proceeding with this review: Stay away from the GBA version. It seriously sucks. The localization is abyssmal and the GBA “downgrade” from the PSX was terribly done.Tales of Phantasia is the first mothership title of the series.The PS1 version is the 1st remake of the Tales of Phantasia on the SNES using Tales of Destiny’s battle system.
It was developed by Namco Tales Studio(formerly Wolf Team) and published by Namco Bandai Games.The 2nd remake is GBA: Stay away from it.The 3rd remake is on the PSP bundled with Tales of Phantasia Narikiri Dungeon X, the remake of the sequel.(It’s two games in one ISO)There will probably be a 4th remake at some point with an updated battle system.The story starts off with a group of 4 heroes fighting the sorcerer Dhaos and defeats him. Dhaos flees to another era where he is sealed by the original heroes’ descendants and peace was restored to the world. When you gain control, you will be using Cless Alvein in the village of Toltus.I do not want to spoil anymore of the story, sorry. The old description was such a huge spoiler.The story picks up after you areTransported to the past era to gain magic to fight Dhaos since conventional weapons don’t damage him.
He has plot immunity until your next battle when you travel back to the present.You will be traveling through three time eras: The Past, Present, and the Future.The battle system, as I said above, uses an updated version of Tales of Destiny’s battle system.It is pretty slow and that’s okay considering Tales of Destiny was an early 1998 PS1 game.It is standard Tales fare with your enemies on one side and allies on the other. You fight in real time with your characters and control how they move and attack.There is also a combination tech system using “technique books”( for lack of a better word) that allows you learn a combined skill if you 100% mastered the two required skillsYou may switch which character you play with by moving that character to the first slot.You don’t gain much techniques at the start so don’t drop the game after only 1 or 2 hours of playing. You have to grind/level if you want more techniques.Things to take noteArche’s magics aren’t gained through leveling like everyone else. You must find her magic in spell books scattered across the world and three time eras. Check bookcases often or consult a walkthrough, I had to for some of the spells I missed.Klarth gets nothing at the start too because he uses Summoning Magic so you have to defeat the Summon Spirits to gain their favor and spells.Klarth and Arche are your main attack mages while Mint is your healer and Cless is the vanguard.You get more than 4 allies and can switch them out for Chester and Suzu.My own personal gameplay video. I sucked a little since I was using ePSXe with keyboard controls instead of my PSP.
Some lag and sound corruption since it’s my first video.If you like this I recommend Tales of Eternia(localized) and Tales of Rebirth(there’s a translation guide on GameFaqs). Both are on the PSP.How to play on PSP: Copy the folder containing the EBOOT.PBP to PSPGAME, note that each eboot needs to be 'in a folder', else they'll show up as corrupted data. Example Path: X:PSPGAMESLPS-01770EBOOT.PBPRecommended Emulator: Some 'PSX2PSP' eboots can be emulated on PC with ePSXe emulator.
Description:Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X is a RPG video game published by Bandai Namco Games released on August 5, 2010 for the PSP.The patch translated menus only not the story. Review by CheeseCake:I would like to say something first before proceeding with this review: Stay away from the GBA version of Tales of Phantasia.

(This is being repeated from the Phantasia PSX review).Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X the first remake of Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon on the Game Boy Color. It was developed by Namco Tales Studios and published by Namco Bandai Games.
A Fan Translation currently being worked on by Absolute Zero Translations.If you didn’t notice, it also has Tales of Phantasia X, the remake of the remakes of Tales of Phantasia (They remade this using the PSX version as the base. Notice the similar overworlds.)It’s that bottom right icon when you are on the Title Screen of Narikiri Dungeon X. Everything is identical to the PSX version except this uses an updated battle system with a “Modern 2D Tales System.”(Look at Tales of Rebirth and Tales of Destiny 2 on PSP or Tales of Hearts on the DS.)The current menu patch of Narikiri Dungeon X’s origins is unknown. It’s long been dead so it’s hard to trace its source.DON’T WORRY.
There is a new translation patch being worked on for BOTH ToP X and ToP: NDX by Absolute Zero. They’re doing BOTH of them since they’re reusing scripts and translations from their translation patch for Tales of Phantasia PSX version.The story of NDX is set 104 years after the original Tales of Phantasia in the year 4408.The story begins with the fairy Eto attempting to find her lost friends but slowly lost her strength. Before her appears a woman named Norn who, in exchange for nursing Eto, gave her the task of raising two infants named Mel and Dio. Thirteen years later, Dio and Mel gain the power of “Narikiri.” An incident starts in Valhalla City while the two children were enjoying their peaceful lives and they must collect the essence of the Summon Spirits.Use the Power of Narikiri.
This allows Dio and Mel to “switch” classes based on the costumes they wear. These go from regular Swordsman and Axeman to Gunners, Samurai, Mages, Fencers, and much more.Quick Jump Map System: You can jump to locations visited before instead of travelling all the way there.
(We don’t have the Rheards anymore)Brand new Battle System Type: It’s not TP or CC(if you played Tales of Graces or Destiny Director’s Cut) It’s a third type than uses neither. Instead of those two it uses the new Over Brave gauge that raises when you attack the enemies. You don’t have to worry about sudden loss of TPs since we spam Artes/Techs so much. The Overlimit of this game can be used when the Over Brave gauge is raised above 100%.Meet characters old and new. You can meet the cast of Tales of Phantasia and see what happened to them after the events of the original game.I recommend (There’s a translation guide on GameFaqs) and (localized). Both on PSP.There’s also Tales of Destiny II on PSP if you understand the MoonSpeak.
