Tales Of Symphonia: Dawn of New World

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Ok, so I knew about this from the Tokyo Game Show, however, I just got updated on this today from new scans. and i got all psyked to know that you CAN play characters from the last game apperantly from new scans

anyway, i havent been able to find a translation of the story in this new scan yet, but it will pop-up soon or later, what i do know is that the game is set 2 years after the end of the first one, and that you can breed and raiswe monsters and have them in your party. Perhaps like  pokemon thing xD  Exclusively for the wii, it comes out in Spring 2008 in japan, with predictions of a North American release for summer 2008. Two main characters named Emil and Marta, whatever else is need to be known cane be find in wiki and youtube, or go nintendo.

Anyway Scans i got today but are a few days old:

So, who liked the first one, and who thinks this one might suck/rock?

Oh also new tales games announced recently. Titled Tales of Vesperia, which i think is being made by te symphonia team

   Kratos..? Is that him with the long nice hair and cute outfit? *humps him*  

[ZeroKirbyX]

Didn't Kratos die? I beat the game once but it was too boring for me to play through again.

I really enjoyed the gameplay of the first, but if the plot is as piss-boring as the first, I don't know.

[Cosmos]

No he didn't fool. Zelos died... <<

[ZeroKirbyX]

Then he left or something right? Cut me some slack though, Kratos and Zelos are so interchangable, meh.

[Cosmos]

yes he did. he went on that other planet thing in the end or something  to make up for his sins or whatever.  :p

I hardly remember anything regardless that I cleared the game about 10 times. Sadly i dont have it with me cause it got stolen to spark some memory. but I think mid is right. Though I don't remember f that was the conclusion in both endings.

Well, if that guy is Kratos, i dont know. At first glance i thought it was Zelos, but i saw the little screenshot of him and that -yet-to-be-named girl. In on the other scan it has a name next to him that reads: Richter Abend. however, i been reading something about name confusion so I dont know. until some japanese kid that nerds in on gamefaqs or some related game site i got and kindly translates, then we wont know. namco is being secretive about this game. They're trying to hype it.

Actually, there were two different paths based on if you went out into the snow with Collette or Genus or no one. I went out with Collette, so yes, Kratos died in my game. So hah, you're both wrong. :p

EDIT: Er... or maybe you actually acknowledged that... and in one path Zelos dies because you fight him and kill him... and in the other, which I took... wait, maybe Kratos didn't die. Yeah, maybe he did go do whatever it was he did. All I know is I ended up with Zelos.

Oh, and this game, yeah it looks pretty cool. I'll probably get it.

[Archem]

So... Spoilers, people. Some of us don't have/haven't beaten/both the game yet.


Talkin' 'bout [STRIKE]a revolution[/STRIKE] me.

[Prpl_Mage]

Well, yeah... Looks great. I just hope that the enemy-thingy will be like summons and not party members. It would suck big-time to use monsters in battle.

And I don't think that's Kratos. There was some odd name underneath his picture. Richter Abend....

And on a side note. I just love that I bought my Wii since every good game seems to be released on this cute baby.

[Cosmos]

Spoilers...? um okie...  :p

When you keep zelos in your team, the only thing that happens with kratos is you fight him to power up your sword and he goes and lives on that planet. And if you keep Kratos in your team, zelos dies. I dun think kratos goes anywhere.. but I know he doesn't die. Zelos is the only character that dies. So  :p

[Phayre]

Not to mention, RPG characters dying means nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing... there's always that awful possibility of raise-your-eyebrow-what-the-hell bring a character back to life plot twistery.
What system is Tales of Symphonia, by the way? I'd been spoiled previously, but I'm interested.

[Cosmos]

gamecube.. they were suppose to be making an updated version for the playstation.. but I dunno what happened to that idea... I'm sure km knows tho  :p

Yup japan-only release.

They didnt want to stagger the exclusivity on the cube.

the changes were somewhat minimal.

Graphics and sound value went down, while they added more events and attacks overall, and a few extra bosses i think. But nothing to hinder the plot already on the GC.

[ZeroKirbyX]

Did they also add the actual anime scenes for the PS2 version?
