I've played both before so I decided to start with DotNW and am actually enjoying it so far. Don't get me wrong, it's got nothing on Abyss or Hearts R, but it isn't as bad as I remembered it.

Wow, congrats! That was surprisingly quick.
Emil is the worst. The worst. He spends the first hour of the game trying to work up the balls to thank someone. I will never play Dawn of the New World again and it is almost entirely because of that whiny little turd.
And she lets out that horrible squeal when she does it. That fucking squeal is one of the few things I even remember about that game.
Hey guys, I need to reach Rodyle at level 36 to get the Gung-Ho title.
Some people online suggest that I avoid random battles which I have been doing, and start killing off party members in required battles so they don't gain the exp. I can't go over level 36.
So my question is, what's the best way to kill off party member? Control them yourselves? Equip weak weapons for them?

Yeah, just set them to Manual and watch them die.
Thanks for the tip!
Have anyone gotta the Gung-Ho title yet?
(On the PS3 version obviously, not GameCube or PS2.)
I'm trying to do this on the first play through. I really don't want to have to play through this game 2 more times. One on mania mode and one more on normal mode with 1/2 exp just for this stupid title.

I read a tip for beating Seles with Zelos easily, and I was shocked at how easy it rally was.

If you think racism is interesting, sure it does.
If you're not going for the plat, I'm not sure why you're going after Gung ho...
I am going for the platinum.. That's why I'm planning on going for Gung-Ho as well.
I don't understand why you got the impression that I'm not going for it?
As someone who played a gimped version of this game originally (Pal50), I don't remember the game being this bad!
The game has this weird intermittent stutter on the world map, and the entire world map perspective feels strange. And I don't remember the run in towns being limited to 8 directions! The audio clips sound incredibly hissy.
Have I just forgotten how limited the original was or is there a bunch of problems in this port?

There were a bunch of problems in the Japanese PS2 port as far as the world map goes. The PS3 port is based off that one.

Because you'd need to basically go through it 3 times to plat anyways...
Wha? Uh, you are using the analog stick, right?

Yeesh, this game aged a bit worse than I thought it would. Definitely kind of difficult to get used the hang of again after playing more recent games. I stopped with ToS after about an hour but started DotNW up and am finding it much easier to get into.
interesting, I think I'm going to do this now - Raine T-type. (iirc I have an item that can change that)
who's better, Regal or Zelos? I'm trying to use 2 melee 2 caster strategy. but then again, I probably shouldn't care since the game hasn't really been much hard so far.
I should be around 60% of the game,
I'm in the Renegades base
also my reaction to most of the scenes > lol. last one was
Colette being kidnapped by Rodyle.

just beat the game for the first time today. I've beaten tales of xillia and tales of the abyss. Symphonia is ok but it drags alot and has alot of filler similar to abyss. Voice acting was pretty good for the most part. Some of the dungeon puzzles really killed the pacing of the game, but overall i'd give TOS a 8.5/10. Solid RPG but Xillia still remains my favorite Tales game.
Well I just beat the Ice Temple. and 4 of my characters combined are at 144. So if I can avoid all battles, I can go to Palmacosta Ranch next and beat Rodyle. So It look like I will be able to do this in 2 playthroughs. thank god.
Agreed. Namco must've just done a straight port of the PS2 version, used the Gamecube fonts for translation, increased the resolution, & said, "Here you go guys, a HD version of Symphonia!".
So lazy, even though PS3 is clearly more powerful enough for 60 FPS on older games like this.
I would say Zelos is better overall, although Regal's AI seems better. Problem with Regal is he can't really handle groups of enemies.
oke, I guess I'll stick with Zelos for now.
I'm using Lloyd, Raine, Presea and Zelos, and enemies are getting wrecked.
Have you played the game before? At some point late on you have to make a choice. Depending on the choice you'll get titles and maybe an item. 3 of these items are unique so you have to do 3 playthroughs no matter what if going for plat simply for the collectors book alone. Normally I think you'd need 4 (or 5?) playthroughs for all the titles, but I think that can be done in 3 if you save and reload well

I finished the game before. But that was like 10 years ago. And I didn't get all the titles. I just did it once.
Update: finally got Gung-Ho title. Along with I Hate Gels, Brave Soul and Friendship First. Thank god that's over.
Pretty much the best party right here. Regal could take either Presea or Zelos' spot, but Presea is a bit stronger and tankier, while Zelos has the benefit of fitting in multiple roles.

My team has always been Lloyd (Me), Genis (Sister), Raine, [Insert character here] (Decoy. Usually a household friend's favorite or Sheena for A.I. )

Plus Presea with her EX Skill where she doesn't flinch? Amazing.

I never tried Presea much. Huh. May do that when I play this version.
I used Presea for a couple of bosses and it worked quite well. time to get the fuck out my active party, Genis.
uh, mystic artes, I've onlye found 3 of them (Lloyd, Colette and Genis), did I miss all the other or those 3 are the only ones that get a mystic arte? Also are they supposed to be some sort of "hidden" tech or what? I mean, the game didn't mention them at all.

I can't stand the requirements for Lloyd's MA.
They seemed like they were intended to be secrets in the original release. Of course now Namco screwed this up by making Mystic Artes such a big part of the marketing yet there are no clear indications when or how you can do them.
Oh... yeah, pushing all three buttons at the same time is probably going to be tough on the awful DS3 pad.

I almost did it twice. The first time, I forgot that you need to have a specific title on Lloyd (da fuck). The second time, I had everything right, and pushed the buttons a second after Raine healed me out of red health.
You don't need to equip the title on Lloyd, you just need to have reached the point in the story where he gets the title.
If you want a surefire way to do it, assuming this still works in the port, you can start holding block, start holding attack, then press tech once he's back to the blocking animation. I've never done this myself since it was easy enough on the GC pad but it should work.
