Tales of Phantasia is a game with a complicated history, but regardless of how much of the story you tell, you have to mention Yoshiharu Gotanda who worked for Wolf Team. Tales of Phantasia is the brainchild of this man, who not only wrote the original scenario from the ground up but also was lead programmer for the game. He had a bold new vision for a grand story as told through three different perspectives and… suffered some heavy-handed changes by the big corporate publisher Namco Bandai, which created a huge chasm of creative differences, resulting in a massive falling out between Wolf Team, Telenet, and Namco Bandai. The majority of Wolf Team staffers left to form Tri-Ace who would later make the competing series Star Ocean, leaving Wolf Team utterly gutted with a half-finished project. Namco Bandai stuffed the development team with their own members to finish the job and what we got out of that was Tales of Phantasia.
