Well, I was talking personality-wise. >_> Sheena's kind of plain to me in that sense. Definitely my second favorite looks-wise, however, although her outfits didn't feel diverse enough to me...Hcoregamer00 said:Whoa there cowboy, no love for Sheena??
Man, ToS 2 better have as many outfits per character as TotA did. I'm such a fanboy that if they did that I'd probably buy it even if it was a D+ game.
Edit: Uh, assuming same cast, but after looking at that new shot, hmm...Edit 2: Oh, wait. Are those the monsters in the team or something? You know, not that it wouldn't make sense storyline-wise since supposedly nobody would be able to fight without
their Exspheres and they were getting rid of those in the ending

Sheena personality wise is very similar to Tear, in fact they could swap the personalities and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. In that regard, I would say that her personality is plain because it is the typical Tsundere "I hate guys, but I will slowly change through the story."
As for the outfits, Abyss and especially radiant mythology has an abundance of outfits. Heck, my lead character is wearing an Idolm@ster outfit in Radiant Mythology :lol

I love Radiant Mythology, which would mean I would probably like the PSP remakes even more. Which was the PSP remake that got a localization in Europe? Where can I buy it and how much does it cost?
Leezard said:
Probably the Main One? It IS the main ending. You have to do a lot of stuff to get a totally different ending.

If you know Japanese, translate for us so we can also bask in disappointment.

It is kind of funny, I was shopping for clothes of my main character and I saw an outfit and said "isn't that from the idolmaster?" I googled it and lo and behold it was THE SAME OUTFIT.

wow, thanks king zeil. keep it coming.
Those wii screens look better. especially the environments. And i dont mind the point and click in the main map. I didnt find the walking too enjoyable on the tales of maps personally, this should speed things up and it makes sense to do so with the wiimote. What will make or break this game is the battle mechanics via waggle. Im very optimistic.
I'd be disappointed in Tales of Symphonia 2's map system had the original game's map not been so damn ugly, barren, and plain. That pretty much just served as a gateway to get from one place to another. Those conversations that randomly occured between characters when you traveled behind an uglyass mountain chain didn't really fit either.

And no Mithos.
Also, one note on my comment about the possibility of Team Symphonia doing a DS game: I said I'd be fine with it, but I didn't say it'd be ideal. I did point out that my preference would be for Team Destiny to bring their demonstrated proficiency at 2D Tales to the DS, because I think that's much more suited to the platform; as Magicpaint noted, my Grand Compromise of Destiny to DS and Symphonia to PS360 should make everyone happy.
So it's not my preference, but at the same time, I wouldn't spaz out if Team Symphonia DOES go and make a DS game. I'm sure it'd be a great game, too, because that's mostly what they make.
Every now and then, I'm still surprised there are people out there that haven't made peace with the fact that the DS has killed the PSP in sales and, like the PS2 versus the Xbox, is going to receive the bulk of third party support. Look, it's popular, okay? It's selling better than any other system (portable or home) in every major market in the world. People like what it does and most of them apparently aren't too torn up about some of the sacrifies it makes.
Why?
On this point, you and I are in complete agreement. It's sounding a lot more spinoff-y -- which doesn't mean it'll be bad, but it's definitely not to be approached with the mindset of a real Tales game. And yes, absolutely, the big world map and the exploration are important aspects of the series.
Yeah... 3D or not, I think that looks great.

So ToS Wii seems to be a dungeon crawler spinoff. That's alright, I can live with it. It's not ideal, but it'll probably be interesting.
ToI doesn't look too bad to me. I think the mutant battle system can work. It's Alfa System though. Maybe they'll add a Gunparade March style dating side quest in there.

No, I didn't miss your raving about it; haven't I said that your raving is one of the reasons I intend to play it (aside from the fact that I really liked the original)? I'm just saying, I can see dark's point, and I agree that a DS game likely wouldn't be able to capture what Abyss does with full 3D movement. But I'm not sure why it wouldn't be able to offer up the same experience as a 2D Tales games, even the best of the 2D Tales games, if it's made by the people who know how to do that. Fast, frenetic, intense -- these aren't things necessarily beyond it. So I was sincerely wondering what specifically you think it wouldn't be able to do out of Destiny R's system.

Can someone explain me why the usual "world map explanation" have been replaced by a "point and go" system ?
I don't see anything on the pic. Is it in relation with the text next to the map ?

GamerSoul said:Returning cast?
So I guess Zelos survived if it's true.
Here is the translation:
Mochiron ano charakuta-tachi mo toujou (Of course, those characters also return.)
Mae tsukute toujoushita Shinfuonia no
charakuta-tachi mo gemu naka ni toujou shi
shujinko no tabi no tedasuke o shitekeremasu
(The Symphonia characters whom made an appearance before will not only appear in this game, but they will also provide assistance ito the main character's journey.)

wtf, the DS game looks exactly like the Wii game. So the DS game looks incredible and the Wii game looks terrible. :lol
I don't understand the lack of interest in the DS game. It looks and sounds way better than the Wii game and the PSP game is just a port. I personally have higher hopes for this than I did Tempest.
also lol @ the Tales meltdowns in this thread, the DS is not that weak people. See: ASH, and maybe even FFIVR. And Layton.
The DS can handle just enough of the pretty animus and voices you want.

Well, Destiny Remake is on a whole other level compared to other 2D Tales games. When I say fast, frenetic, and intense, I really mean, the fastest, the most frenetic, and the most intense Tales game yet. Everything is cranked up to the max in the game and it feels more akin to a Tales version of Marvel Vs Capcom 2 on Turbo.
It's kind of hard to explain but basically, when you open the ALMBS up to 3D, you get more freedom in movement but lose the intensity of the 2D because there are a lot more things factored in. Enemy position will be all over the place, tracking of aerial attacks will be difficult, party members assisting with aerial combos will be harder and etc. Destiny Remake isn't simply a game with mid-air combos, it's an Aerial game. You can spend entire battles fighting in mid-air and not even touching the ground if you're good.
You really need to play Destiny Remake to see what I mean. The experience speaks for itself better than I can.
If I can figure out a way to say it later, I'll post it.
That sounds just a bit too vague for my liking.Mockingbird said:
It's always possible to create characters better than or equal to the ToS cast, I suppose, but considering the map system and the graphics I'm not in the greatest mindframe of faith right now. If this isn't the Symphonia team, they should have just stuck with what they already knew worked--
...Wait, never mind. On second thought, if this isn't the Symphonia team, I'd rather not have them bring back the old characters as playable and possibly butcher them in the process. But we'll see, I guess.
Thanks for the translation either way, though. Can't forget to credit the messenger even if the message is questionable. >_>

Just saw the new screens... dunno about everyone else, but the DS game looks ace. Hopefully the towns aren't as deserted though.
Eh, I dunno, the PSP still receives the bulk of the third party support, regardless of sales. Hell, even with this "DS lead system" announcement, it's still getting a new game (Rebirth).
Regardless of Namco's supposed decision to make the DS the lead platform for Tales, I seriously doubt it'll actually fall through. Personally, I see Innocence as being the only other new DS Tales they'll ever make, and they'll continue making PSP Tales, maybe even continuing with PS360 games.
While I personally wouldn't mind it happening, I doubt the DS will get all the main Tales from now on. I'm just glad it seems the DS is getting at least one other [hopefully] amp in its lineup.

in what way exactly
I want Kratos, dammit... someone spoil me about the different ToS endings because I don't remember anything about alternate endings with the exception of Kratos/Zelos choice..
Point and click map... It would certainly have helped TotA horrible overworld... :lol
What else do the slides say beside the map?
Rebirth is not new, it's a port of the PS2 game...
