I HAVEN'T USED SPARKLETEXT IN LIKE, YEARS
Levi, what is this?
This is PIMP MY CANON, a meme for doing exactly what it says on the tin. Here, you are going to sell your canon to your fellow bubble players!
Fellow bubble players, peruse the selection and maybe find a new canon to check out!
Okay how?
HOWEVER YOU HAVE TO. Post reasons why your canon is awesome! Post summaries, post pages, post gifs, post links to videos, post screenshots, post links to playthroughs, WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO.
Just uh, be mindful. Don't insert put too many images in your post (especially if they're big! Link to big things!) and link to videos rather than embed them. We want to make this accessible to everyone and go easy on connections.
Feel free to add to other people's posts with information of your own, or ask questions about a canon that's caught your eye! The idea here is to spread the love, after all!
Try to keep your spoilers to a minimum, too. If you think something might be spoilery, be sure to mark it!
(also be sure to hit preview before posting, broken codes cramping your style sucks)
Tales of Symphonia
Oh, wait, no it's not. There's an actual age range in the playable cast! From twelve years old to should-have-been-in-the-grave-years-old, you've got a total of three non-adults, five fully-fledged adults, and one who's kind of both. /o/
You like derp? We've got derp! Quite a bit of it. The main hero is a dorky idealist, and he makes sure all his comrades have their moments, too. You like serious business? We've got some of that, too. Humans robbed of their lives to support one man's twisted vision, a religion being used to control the fate of two worlds, a fight against racism and injustice spanning four millenia, worlds that are dying while a callous man plays god...
...and daddy issues. Yes, I consider that a hook.
The game may seem a little too innocent and idealistic while you're first playing it, but let me tell you, this is a lie. This game is seriously deep, with some pretty significant moral quandaries. It doesn't ever completely lose that child-like innocent shine, and there's plenty of humor to be found along the way, but man, neither does it treat itself too lightly.
It really is an awesome game, with plot and side quests and treasure hunting, different variations on the ending, replayability, and a pretty good battle system that I feel is neither too simple nor too difficult to master. You can easily sink 50 or 60 hours on it with your first playthrough, so it IS a fairly long game - something I feel is a plus, since you get more playtime for your buck.
I don't think I can recommend this game enough. I really, really love it.

We do have a manga (available here!) and a 3-part OAV too! We've also got a sequel that was kind of underwhelming but still pretty fun~
