Sure, there were games such as Lost Kingdoms and ports of previous JRPGs such as Skies of Arcadia Legends, but the console lacked the variety found on the PS2, the current console of choice for the genre that generation. But that summer, Namco released Tales of Symphonia exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube. Those who played the game tend to hold it close to their hearts in their memories --- but why, exactly?"
It’s that time of year, again–the fire is roasting, the bells are ringing, and the turkey is cooking in the oven. Here are some festive video game covers to add to your holiday playlists.
Tales of Symphonia is the GameCube's most iconic RPG, but it was also the beginning of a new golden age for Bandai Namco's action fantasy franchise.
Beyond the Metroid and Mario, the Gamecube was home to some great titles deserving of a re-release

Could put the first Baten Kaitos game on this list. Developed by Monolith Soft, and underrated RPGs. First was published by Namco.
The one JRPG I never got to play on the PS2 :(
Too bad the follow-up on the Wii wasn't anywhere near as good. ToS had a great cast.
