I'm going to guess most of the praise comes from when and where it originally released back then. It's a cool Tales and still my favorite of those I've played, though.

It's not perfect, but It's definitely a great game. The story is pretty strong too. IMO.

Only 120mb?

Well, it's really good. Tales games tend to have some of the worst protagonists in gaming history, but Lloyd's a lovable idiot. He's no Yuri, but he's decent. Story is interesting too.
It also has an advantage over more recent Tales games by not using an appallingly ugly low-rent 3D anime art style.

I'm just genuinely curious why are they different.
The game is pretty small, people with high speed internet won't need it anyway. Unpacking will take more time than downloading the game when it launches.
8 playable characters, 2 paths, 2 world map, distinctive environments and dungeons, a buttload of sub-quests and costumes (this was before Namco could take them out and sell them as DLC).
Story is what it is, but the game is so, so fun if you like adventure.

Probably out of nostalgia. This game is still decent, but suuuuper dated.
And this was before Tales ever used motion capture for their cutscenes, so it's going to look weird.
Still I love the game and I'd play it again. It's my first Tales, too.

When is this releasing? I got it through pre-ordering Tales of Zestiria.
In 8.5 hours.
2nd February, so tomorrow.

Damn that's soon. I need to finish Valkyria Chronicles first, and then I might break into The Witness to change up on all the JRPGs I've been playing. I might get to this by March.

That's 11pm here. Sweet. I thought that it would unlock at midnight so I'd only get about an hour of play time before going to bed. I'm excited!

Wow, the game is coming out tomorrow? Completely forgot about that, will pre load and wait to see if it is 60fps.

Considering Zesteria was fixed in less than a month and was likely a much harder fix, I'd give Symphonia a week max before someone mods in 60 FPS.

Its not, apparently.
can't see it being 60 since it's a port of the PS3 version which is 30.
No single Tales game so far had online co-op, why would a port of a port of an expanded port suddenly have one?
It's based off the PS3 version which was 30fps so, 99% chance of that being the case here.
Why the hell would it have online co-op? It's a pc port of a 10 years old game.

It looks like a pretty barebones port, the PC options are just resolution and keyboard controls added to the preexisting config menu.
Battle controls is even spelled wrong. The game isn't very alt-tab friendly either.
Because it'd be awesome if it did? Can't a person dream?

I think the game gets a lot of praise from the community because it was many people's first Tales of game. It's a fine game, and was great when it came out, but it's dated for sure. Subsequent Tales games improved upon the gameplay quite a bit. Even its sequel, Dawn of The New Age, improved upon the gameplay quite a bit. That's unfortunately all it improved upon however.
Story wise it's fine, but it's essentially Final Fantasy X with more crazy elements added in.

People said the same of Zestiria and modders did it.

and weren't both 30?
EDIT: modding is a different thing we;re talking about just basic game.

Looks like it's capped at 30 both in and out of battle, as expected.
I'm pretty sure we're talking about 60fps out of the gate.
Oh well that was obv that it would be 30, sorry friends didn't read that right.

Tales of Zestiria was received very well by the community with 92% positive reviews before the 60fps mod hit. People are fine with 30fps, as long as the game is good.

Light up the Durante signal!
Played this at 4K, and STILL got the same huge aliasing and poor IQ as I did at 1080p.
There's a 720p internal rendering resolution at play here, I know it.

Yeah. I tried at resolutions above 4k and I was still getting horrible jaggies.
Disappointing.
