Elazul:
Yeah, both are important, but I still prefer the story a bit more. xD
Cool, I never heard about it. Seiken Densetsu is the ''Mana'' series here. ^^

I don't know how to differentiate between Mana and Tales series...
Who can tell me?
Elazul:
- Seiken Densetsu (Mana) series: Is a console role-playing game series from Square Enix (formerly known as Square), created by Koichi Ishii. The series is mostly known for its musical score and its action-based battle system. The action-based battle system is notable, since most other console role-playing games instead use the traditional turn-based style.
Every game of this series centers around the Mana Tree, and it is very important to the world. Also, the Elemental Spirits are another common element of the Seiken Densetsu games.
Examples: Legend of Mana (Seiken Densetsu Gaiden: Legend of Mana), Secret of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 2), Seiken Densetsu 3.
- ''Tales of'' series: Is a franchise of role-playing games published by Namco. Several entries have been localized for North America and just three for Europe. The series possesses an unusual battle system for an RPG. It has been likened to that of a fighting game (like Street Fighter) and is called the Linear Motion Battle System, or LMBS for short. and it is the most famous characteristic of the series.
Examples: Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Legendia, Tales of the Abyss.

oh, THX.
Square Enix and Namco......
I haven't pay attention to this point...
And I am reminded of the Battle-System is not the same.
Because the Japanese pronunciation is the same......

I played both Seiken Densetsu 3 and Tales of Phantasia for the SNES and I think both are cool in their own way. While Seiken Densetsu was more of a top-down battle system, Tales had a side-scroller type system. In both games you can only control the hero, and the rest of the party are controlled by AI (although I heard that in Seiken Densetsu 3, another player can play the second character that is chosen with a joypad)...
I picked up one a few days ago - Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for the GBA. It's a turn-based strategy RPG - the problem is, that the battle system's somewhat slow. Otherwise the plot is quite interesting.
