This game was innicially made for SNES, but there's a remake for PS, however, I was unable to find one in english, only in japanese.
The inicial "Tales of ..." game, extremely good RPG, and a classic that has had many copies, I think it's around 6 by now.
It has a very unusual gameplay, when you enter a battle, instead of attacking turn by turn depending on speed and/or attack bar here your characters move around (in a very limited space) and attack a will, but the enemy does the same, some people say that because of that, this is not an RPG, but if you play it, you'll notice there's no other possible category to make it fit in.

You are referring to Tales of Phantasia, where ships fly and so? Í personally never took interest in it, how is it? I know it´s a RPG, but don´t have an idea of the story.

If you didn't played it, you should, if you want me to spoil everything and tell all the story, just ask, but Tales of Phantasia has absolutely no relation to ships flying, it develops in a time where machines were starting to be developed, nothing actually flies (well, besides birds).

Yes, spoil the end: "you kill the bad guy and save the world", wow, amazing, I can't believe it, what a spoil, ok, to the matter at hand.
The "background" is just a fight between a party of four guys (one of them is the father of your main character) and the bad guy (I really don't remember the name) when they win, he escapes through time to the future, but at his "timestream release point" the same four guys were already there and trapped him at the instant he left the timestream and sealed him with a magical necklace.
There's where you start, so that would be all the background, you can easily predict what's going to happen with the sealed evil guy, but not after that.

I have not played Tales of Phantasia but I played its succesor, Tales of Symphonia, the system is cool, however, the little I played Tales of Phantasia was enough to see how slow it was, in Tales of Symphonia is faster. I don't mean the battle system is bad, instead is cool because is a real time one. The story in Tales of Symphonia is sometimes funny. Genis is my favorite character in that game. Maybe in Tales of Phantasia the story is also nice and interesting like its successor.

Tales of Symphonia is a very late succesor, Tales of Destiny and Tales of Destiny 2 came before, by the time they made Tales of Symphonia they had a lot more of experince.
The story is good, you wouldn't assume a bad game had succesors. The story is also funny in some parts, like my favorite, when Archie gets drunk in the boat and starts yelling asleep about Cless, and Klarth is right next to her hearing all the stuff....
