Tales of Symphonia Unisonant Pack announced for PS3 [Screens/Videos in OP]
- Thread starter kayos90
- Start date
Trailer's gone now so I can't check but there were special unison attacks in the original for several party member pairings.
Yeah I was just thinking that. It sounds like the same vocals, so they probably just remixed it with misono herself helping.

The one where you repeatedly cancel melee attacks into Angel Feathers? I think that was removed.

I'll man up to it. Do your worst.
I'm kinda excited about the release though. Hopefully they redub the game so we can get skits for Symphonia and so that both games have the same VAs. What did the PS2 version of ToS add compared to the GC version?

Waking up with a game localization is the best way to wake up.....or maybe the second best way....

Damn, it's been a loooooooooooooong time since I've played the first one.
Best case scenario if they are lazy and use the audio from the original US/Eu released would be that they include JP audio for the people that want consistency for both games. That way I could hear my Kugimiya.
Yeah right. I probably still wouldn't touch that game.

Yes, waking up at all is best.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

Yes, there were new animation scenes, as well as new events. Every character was given a Mystic Arte. There were a number of minor changes too, most of them gameplay related like fixing bugs.

So Tales experts, as a huge fan after Grace F, where is ToS?

I mean "best" is opinion. But its the same level of quality for me
Well, the gameplay is A LOT slower. It's very different. Better plot and cast of characters though, save for a few.
Oh, WAY better music.

Don't listen to anyone, just get it before they attack Graces F.

Every characters got a new costume and related side quest too, but you could only do one per playthrough I think, which is really lame.
I hope they alter some of that kind of stuff. I hated the slowly doling out costumes of the first game.

Ah, true. The arrangement is all that changed, but I wonder specifically what changed.
I'm curious how Starry Heavens/Soshite Boku ni Dekiru Koto will be utilized. Will it just play either one when you watch the opening?

The Regal and Lloyd one (Ryuuko Metsugajin) is new to people who only played the GC version. It's a new Unison Attack for the PS2 version.
Notable changes for the PS2 version:
- Crappy framerate (60->30FPS), textures, and load times compared to GC ver. Hopefully all fixed in HD port.
- Camera doesn't suck as bad with multiplayer
- Unison Bar flashes brighter than the GC version when filled, and fills much faster.
- Sheena gets cut-ins for her summons
- New anime movies/a few new cutscenes and small side events
- New costumes for the cast
- New Unison Attacks, artes (for both party and bosses), mystic artes
- Fixed bugs like the T/S bug (the one that allowed you to learn both variations at the same time), infinite combo with spell cast->spell cancel has been removed, Eternal Sword glitch, etc.
- An extra boss battle added to the original EX dungeon and 5 more floors added
- Casino actually works in Altamira now and there's Blackjack and Slots
- Dragon from Earth Temple gives a lot less money
Worse, but mostly due to age. Which is why I was hoping for a remake. Pacing wise it's still a very solid game, battle system is fast (but still less flexible as the newer entries), and the soundtrack is one of the better ones in the series.
noooooooo
I guess it was that, I don't remember the details, but you could keep up your melee combo by just canceling it after a pair of hits and it was really easy to pull it off.
I don't remember being particularly put off by Colette.
Tales of Graces excelled in the battle system, which to me is better than the previous titles in that field. However, the music ,characters and plot are not well developed in Garces, especially compared to Symphonia and Vesperia
I don't remember hating him much, but then again I haven't replayed the game since I was a kid. Maybe I will hate him too when I play it again.
Characters that constantly trip for no reason at all usually piss me off. Also, the damn game and anime hella tries to pair her up with Lloyd. Sheena is way superior!!!!!!
Yeah it's removed. Same with the trick with Colette where you can use Holy Song -> spell cancel -> Holy Song and watch for the "1P Target" icon to disappear. If it disappeared you'd always get her Mystic Arte "Holy Judgement". That was fixed in the PS2 version as well.
10000 Gald -> 1000 Gald to be exact. It sucks.
Yeah, and there wouldn't be as much issue with disk space too compared to their newer entries. It's a long shot but they've been making steps to do more fan-friendly things lately.
Plus Kamina-Lloyd and Gendou-Kratos are fun even if I do prefer the English cast.
Lloyd's original VA was Robin from Teen Titans.(With Presea sharing hers with Raven from Teen Titans).
Paging Aeana.
I also tend to avoid names for the same reason... If I read about it after the game I'm happy but during the game it just distracts me. Same thing with anime seiyuu.
Didn't know about the Presea/Raven connection, but did know of Lloyd's VA. He also did Inuyasha, if I remember right.
Already gone.

Thanks

Haha, love you guys, fronting like Colette is worse than Emil.
Totally agree

Are you my long lost brother?
Quoted for the truth. God, I can't stand Asbel. Even Zelos is better than Asbel.
At least the story made up for it. Plus the Abyss crew were never really friends to begin with, they felt like coworkers being forced to save the world. So the cast being dicks to each other felt justified (except for Anise). Graces has the whole group being all "FRIENDSHIP IS FOREVER" which got annoying after a while. Especially since they almost got the world destroyed and several people killed because they would never finish Richard off due to "friendship".

This is how I feel too. There are big duds in each cast, but I dislike the Abyss duds much more.
Malik, Sophie & Pascal are more than enough to make up for the damp dishcloth known as Asbel.

the best male character in the series is better than Asbel (and everyone else)? you don't say
The characters in Abyss were less annoying that the ones in Graces, at least you got Jade in Abyss
