Tales of Phantasia on SNES has one of the most technically impressive soundtrack on the system IMO (and one of the best in general).

But it would be cool to know how close the music could have gotten to the SNES version with more competent developers. There's just too much wrong with it that I doubt would or could ever be fixed. I don't think ToP GBA will ever be in a state where i'd want to actually *play* it. But only if you really wanted to do it for your own curiosity, and if you didn't have another GBA game restoration in mind. However, with all that said I'll admit i'd be curious. But it is a real mess and makes the game very unenjoyable to play. I don't know how much of this is the fault of intentional programming versus the system struggling to run the game due to poor optimization. There are also tons of magic and summon effects that are horribly butchered as well. An out of battle example being reflections of sprites in mirrors and water surfaces. There are tons of missing visual effects both in and out of battle. The colors and the music (as you and others have demonstrated with other games) are not the biggest problems. I've said this before, I doubt anyone could hack Tales of Phantasia GBA back into a competent state.

The game was designed without 8-way so I think this is ok.

Unfortunately I can only do a thing about problems 1 and 5 - and possibly 3 if I can make the music driver faster (this is an optimist case).

Not sure, but restoring japanese voices from the SNES original or the PSX port could be feasible. QuoteWould you be able to "undub" the voices as well, or is that outside your area of expertise? It'd be nice to have an updated Phantasia on my 3DS. PSX's version also have very cheap sound, likely the just used the cheap instruments that came by default with their devkit or something - but it's still better. This sounds downright awful and is an isult to TOP's magnificent soundtrack. GBC's sound used correctly can sound great but here it's used wrongly. The ones who aren't are Gameboy Color's beep and blips. Half of the instruments/tracks are missing. TOP is without a doubt the SNES->GBA port which butchered the soundtrack the most I know of. QuoteThat said, I prefer the GBA's music.To be perfectly honest, you're crazy. Unfortunately, the game doesn't use Sappy (I've tried.)Of course it does. QuoteI did see a post about restoring the music in the past. (that is IF I make great audio fit in it, which is the best case scenario) And nobody'd play a butchered remake even with great audio. unfortunately not only the sound is butchered in this remake, but I can only do something about the sound personally. QuoteToP GBA is a trashfire and you're better off spending your time on something else.That was my feeling too. But it looks like an entierely new game to me. QuoteTales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon XNever knew such a thing existed. Oh, and I absolutely LOVE Tales of Phantasia's soundtrack. Thanks for letting me know if there's any demand. If I wanted to sound-restore the GBA version I'd have to either use the PSX track, or modify them to make the sound like the SNES (but they would be some errors in them) or I would need to contact the author of VGMTrans and ask them to have Tales of Phantasia SNES supported. But maybe it's just it takes some time to get used to it.Īlso I could easily rip the music track from the PSX version using VGMTrans but not from the SNES version, which is IMO the version with the best music (the music from the PSX is ok, but sounds cheaper and cruder than from the SNES). the battle controls also suck compared to the SNES version. However other parts of the game were also quite affected and I feel like the GBA version is disliked, not only because of the music, but because i.e.

Is there some demand for a sound restoration patch for the GBA version of Tales of Phantasia ? What I'm sure of is that it uses the same "sappy" or M4A sound engine, and that the music was horribly butchered.
