. Not only has the game been fan translated, attempts to redub the actual in-game speech in English were made. This project, which has been very challenging due to not only the need to recompress the vocals to SPC700 form, but split them into segments so they can be properly put back into the ROM structure and played by the Flexible Voice Driver, is titled "Vocals of Phantasia" and is at version .999.
Some fans were unhappy with the localized GBA remake of Tales of Phantasia, in part because they were introduced to the game through the DeJap fan translation of the SFC version. In particular, the translations of many important characters' names were different. Whether the GBA translators changed them in order to sound less awkward as English names is unknown, but existing fans were accustomed to the romanized names that had been used for almost a decade in Japan in either Phantasia's marketing and merchandise, or in the original games themselves (the names are in the credits).
In addition to name changes, the GBA remake's menu was more frustrating to use because of its compactness. The game also had several mistranslated words (seals/steels, Ragnarok/Kangaroo, cranequin/klein quin, etc) and voice clips mixups, and removed the opening song Yume Wa Owaranai.
The original game soundtrack was arranged by veteran composer Motoi Sakuraba, as well as Shinji Tamura; these two have been the primary music composers for the series since then. Sakuraba has a cameo appearance in the SNES version and GBA remake of the game; when you visit a major city, you can meet him and get him to play the theme of the game on a piano.
Also, there a few vocal tracks associated with the game or anime:
Like other vocal songs of the Tales series, Yume wa Owaranai was removed from the North American release of the GBA remake.
While the storylines in most games in the main Tales series are not connected to each other (much like Final Fantasy), there are a few games in the Tales series that take place in the same world as Phantasia.
