Is losing that awful world map from Symphonia really that bad? Especially considering load times you would think this would be considered an upgrade
I'm not really hung up about the streamlined world map. I might even go so far as to say that I prefer it this way, mainly because it'll make subsequent replays quicker than they would have been otherwise; I was annoyed with the world map by the time I hit my third run through Symphonia, never mind the three following that.
Of course, there's still an unanswered question of whether this game contains any strong built-in incentive to replay, as Symphonia did...

Ah, that would make sense...icecream said:
I wouldn't complain either. (And I took 79:23 on my first Symphonia file, although admittedly a lot of that was Grade grinding.fresquito said:

Are you sure? I swore the that the battle theme had a different 'mix' to it.

1.) Damn, those battle load times are blazing.
2.) What was that side-step move at 2:18?
3.) I'm really, really glad that they're not just phoning this game in. I think it's looking great.

Every time somebody mentions Innocence, I kill a puppy.
Please, think of the puppies.
So was that Sorceror's Ring usage when that mushroom caught fire? If so, relegating it to Wii remote use might make for some interesting puzzles considering you're usually left with only affecting things within your direct line of sight. I also wonder if you can name your little monster helpers? If I had that lion/pup thing its name would be SIMBA!

And we're. There's a really big step in terms of animation and modeling from ToS, which was pretty rough to begin with. In fact I think the bad animation was something that hurt the experience pretty badly, since the cut-scenes didn't give the emotional impact they should.ivysaur12 said:

loadsa laughs at the end :lol
game is day one for me, and I'm actually loving the new map, much better than the 3d one in TOS which was sorta pain to navigate

Load up Tales of Symphonia.
90% of your problem solved right there.
I thought the "point" of the world map was to play to Wii strengths and use the pointer? It just looked like they selected the dungeon off a list? Not that I care anyway, I agree the world map was a pain in the ass, and now I don't have to feel any incentive to play through the shitty excuse of giving you a bad camera or feeling like I have to look for treasures.
I do like how the sorcerer's ring is used though, hopefully they make for some interesting puzzles or uses with that.
And having a side-step would be extremely badass, but I think Adumaha may be right that it's just him landing from an attack. Not too sure, seems a weird way to land from an attack.

If the transition speed between the map, dungeon, and battles are as smooth as the video suggests, then this is going to be one silky rpg experience that feel like a throwback to pre-cd jrpg's.

For some odd reason (or maybe not odd) I dislike world maps where I can't explore, and the locations and areas are just selected, look at Tales of the World and this game for examples.
Yes, i know the world map in ToS was bad, but i rather prefer that than how this game is going about.
But still, this game does show a lot of promise, new characters with some nice adjustments to the battle system which i welcome with open arms.
Chrono Trigger did it right No need for random battles (iirc) and allowed me to explore towns and places whenever and however i wanted.
But recently, FFXII impressed me the most, by effectively getting rid of the world map and just made crossing between towns like a massive adventure experience (yes I know, it does get annoying after a while)

Yah, they stretched the FMVs for the widescreen format..
On a positive note, I like how Marta's hair moves when she moves around! The animations are much better than what I remember of Symphonia and Abyss. I'm wondering about how multiplayer would work though. I EXPECT the camera to zoom out so that all players are on screen, but I don't remember if they did that for Abyss or not, and it would be really annoying if they didn't.

Now that I've seen Rune Factory Frontier, that game is my most anticipated RPG on the Wii.
I'm still dying to see what Swords of Legendia is all about!
I'll get Symphonia 2 is reviews are really good.
