It's in Spanish and the source is below. Roughly speaking, it's saying that Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (Knight or Ratatosk in Japanese) is coming to the PlayStation 3 in HD.

Sounds about right considering the Western Tales twitter has been saying it'll be a Tales filled year and my hypothesis on what's going to happen at the Tales Festival this year is very close to what's happening.

[RPGamer92]

Would buy for Symphonia, eh at DOTNW

 

[Ermac]

Please be true Based God

 

[Loudninja]

Hell why not?

 

[ShroudOfFate]

Oh man. ToS was my favorite gamecube game. I will lose my shit if this is true.

 

[Shahed]

Out of the blue! But I'd definitely get it.

 

[Aquamarine]

Tales of Symphonia - Nintendo paid Namco to keep it exclusive for a while

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of New World - Wii exclusive


HD Remaster? PS3 exclusive.

NBGI is SUCH a troll.

 

[Squire]

Yeah, they seem have gotten the message these games are at their strongest sales potential on PS3.

 

[disco]

Both games had Nintendo origins... I'm not sure about this rumour...

 

[dakkumauji]

Well I guess this is better than porting Symphonia onto the 3DS.

 

[schuelma]

I thought we might see a Symphonia HD remaster for Wii U, but with the slow hardware adoption this makes plenty of sense.

 

[papersleeves]

I'd buy it.

 

[Link1110]

I'm shocked they're not gonna shovelware the same subpar remake of Phantasia on there with it.

 

[Verendus]

Both games had Nintendo origins... I'm not sure about this rumour...

True.

 

[Man God]

It makes sense Namco being Namco but I've never heard of this source before at all.

 

[CielTynave]

This would be pretty awesome, I was wondering if DotNW would ever get ported, since it was the only one on a non-Sony console this gen to not pop up anywhere else.

 

[dakkumauji]

I'm shocked they're not gonna shovelware the same subpar remake of Phantasia on there with it.

Why toss in a Phantasia port when they could add a shiny new layer and re-release it on its own whenever its next anniversary pops up?

 

[mullet2000]

Well, hopefully I can just buy Symphonia separately on PSN or something.

DotNW is awful.

 

[Cidd]

DAT late PS3 third party japan support, good if true.

 

[computers putin']

I liked dawn of the new world, although I assume not many others did.

 

[Alfredo]

I thought the story back in the day was that Nintendo funded the localization of Symphonia, which is why the PS2 version never came out in the West. Otherwise, they'd have to entirely redo the English localization.

So if this is true, what are the chances of it coming to the West?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Don't toy with my heart!! They can keep DoTNW though, terrible game.

 

[kayos90]

Both games had Nintendo origins... I'm not sure about this rumour...

Please be excited.

 

[Hitlersaurus Christ]

Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality

 

[Sadist]

Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality

I'm sorry

 

[Roto13]

Tales of Symphonia - Nintendo paid Namco to keep it exclusive for a while

Didn't Nintendo pay for the localization?

Does that rumour say it's coming to the West? Because I'd count that as a strike against it's veracity.

 

[RagingAvatar]

Count me in if true.
Please can the Japanese support have furigana..

 

[Glass Rebel]

DotNW was such a terrible game. Never played the original though and probably never will because Tales.

Both games had Nintendo origins... I'm not sure about this rumour...

Interesting Wii U news

 

[CielTynave]

I suppose even if the rumor itself isn't true, I imagine they might do something with Symphonia this year since it's the games 10th anniversary.

 

[Toki767]

Symphonia did come out on PS2 in Japan...I wonder if this would get localized.

 

[RedSwirl]

Was the PS2 version Japan-only?

 

[Card Boy]

You seem to be completely forgetting Graces.

You should read the second paragraph of my post.

 

[Thorgal]

Please be true. Please be true.Please be true.Please be true.Please be true.


OH FOR GODS SAKE PLEASE BE TRUE!!!

head explodes.

 

[Mpl90]

How much is the site reliable? Did it leak other scoops before?

 

[chaosblade]

Didn't Nintendo pay for the localization?

As far as I remember, this is the case. So if they were to release it outside Japan they would probably either have to license the localization from Nintendo (on a non-Nintendo platform? fat chance) or redo it.

 

[Man God]

Porting ToS to a Nintendo system makes waaay too much sense for Namco to ever do it.

Especially if you consider how popular that particular game is on Nintendo systems in the west.

 

[BrokenSymmetry]

I thought the story back in the day was that Nintendo funded the localization of Symphonia, which is why the PS2 version never came out in the West. Otherwise, they'd have to entirely redo the English localization.

So if this is true, what are the chances of it coming to the West?

Would be a shame if the great voice acting of Jennifer Hale, Kari Wahlgren, and Tara Strong would be absent.

 

[Kusagari]

Eww Dawn of the New World.

 

[DR2K]

Cool will buy if real.

 

[SMT]

I really am very thankful for the headline, this is exciting.
Please let this be true God.

No more need to hunt for the CGN version for gazillion dorra.

 

[Squire]

Both games had Nintendo origins... I'm not sure about this rumour...

True.

Developed and published by Namco. The first ToS was even ported to PS2. Nintendo doesn't own these games.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I wonder how many Tales games will have to bomb in the west on Sony platforms before they stop localizing them entirely. But, eh, Graces was possibly the shittiest Tales games I've ever had the misfortune playing, so my hopes for the series aren't very high. (Loved the battle system though.)

 

[electroplankton]

Symphonia is the best one, imo so great news. The sequel was a bit lackluster but enjoyable.

 

[InsaneZero]

Developed and published by Namco. The first ToS was even ported to PS2. Nintendo doesn't own these games.

Nintendo does own the localization though, so Namco will have to redo it themselves if they want it for the PS3 in the west.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Why would they do this before Xenosaga? Namco owns that ip yes? Seems like that would sell better.

 

[Squire]

Nintendo does own the localization though, so Namco will have to redo it themselves if they want it for the PS3 in the west.

Which is entirely do-able. So, yeah.

 

[Seda]

Would purchase.

 

[MrT-Tar]

My personal favourite Tales game. Though, the fact that iirc Nintendo bankrolled the original's localisation suggests that only a WiiU version (if it exists) would see a Western release.

 

[Man God]

The only Tales of game properly marketed in the US was ToS and its also as far as I can tell still the only one that sold worth a damn. Might have something to do with Namco not being the ones who marketed it...

Graces had almost nothing behind it and Xillia seems to have even less in the works.
