One of the effects on modern RPGs brought about by Final Fantasy VII is an ever-increasing focus on complex 3D graphics. Refreshingly, Tales of Destiny II bucks this trend--like its predecessors, Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Destiny, it presents itself in lovingly crafted 2D graphics. Its backgrounds are of a subdued, hand-painted variety, and the sprites and backgrounds used in its battle scenes are similarly, well, flat. At a time when Final Fantasy X is only a few months from release, many RPG fans will quietly applaud Tales of Destiny II's adherence to the old RPG ways.
As is often the case with RPGs, Tales of Destiny II is best recommended to real fans of the genre. Its story won't quite engage your intellect, and its graphics won't blow your mind. The fact remains, though, that if you like RPGs, it's a good bit of fun to play, and for fans of fun games, that may be all the recommendation necessary.
