Tales of Symphonia Unisonant Pack announced for PS3 [Screens/Videos in OP]
- Thread starter kayos90

I actually like all the Graces characters. I can definitely see the hate for Asbel though.
I don't remember an instance of tripping besides early in the game. But I will agree that Sheena is superior.
I kinda felt that the way the characters people hated in Graces acted was justified.

They really need to make Seles playable in this release. There's even an in-game event that teases that possibility, and she already has her own moveset.
That's not Yuri or Guy.
Also allow the ToS1 cast to be switched to the Player 1 slot and be able to directly play as monsters like in Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X in ToS2.
And we still don't get the Tales of Destiny Remake
If they're going to milk the series more with HD ports, I'm hoping for ToD Remake + ToD2. <_<
Kayos should probably put this in the OP. It seems pretty helpful.
Duckroll I think you forgot you're a mod and you can do that.
Already did it.
Boooo at those changes!
They should have changed the over limit requirements (not only taking damage, but also dealing it). At least it will be easier to measure tension points this time.
And I was really hoping for an improved battle system (at least DotNW got free run right and it's way faster).

How can you guys hate Colette just look how innocent she is:
*hears her voice*

Graces party could get annoying, but that was mostly because of the story and their average ages, I felt. They were a bunch of immature brats for the most part, but managed to come together in the end. The pacing of the dub didn't help either; especially in the skits, it felt like they were chained to a timing that didn't really work for an english script.
Abyss party were absolute assholes for the first Act. I almost dropped the game completely because of that.

Can't recall if they messed with how often you get Overlimit, but they did change your character portrait to glow much more like the Unison Attack bar to make it obvious when you can go into it. I also remember getting into Overlimit more often while playing the PS2 version but that could just be me playing on a harder difficulty and playing better than when I first played ToS on the Gamecube.Boooo at those changes!

DotNW got free run down pretty well, but they fucked up how attack collision works compared to Abyss (which the battle system was based off of). Everything's so damn floaty and nothing feels like it has weight. The sound effects being mediocre doesn't help it either.
Graces' story made the party members stupid in order to carry its shitty plot. Without its influence they range from tolerable to actually great.
Well, ToS still looks pretty nice at least. I don't understand for the life of me why they stopped using cel-shading-like graphics in every following Tales game except Vesperia. It looks so much better...
ToS2 on the other hand was already ugly on Wii and it doesn't have the saving grace of a nice art style. I think even if I end up buying the HD collection I won't be playing ToS2 at all.

I'm surprised about just how quickly the localization was announced. It's nice to know Namco's including the PS2 content, but hopefully it'll at least have the Gamecube version's visuals. As for the localization, my two main hopes are that they'll keep the Japanese opening and add voice acting to the skits if they have to end up redubbing the game.
I can't say much for Dawn of the New World since I never played it, except this should be a nice opportunity to remedy that.
(This is also my first post here so hello gaf)

lol
Well I'll definitely gets this
when it comes out here, but I'm glad I didn't stay up just for this.
Well I'll definitely gets this
for DotNW
Welcome to Neogaf, at least you're getting welcomed. I joined yesterday and didn't get welcomed because I posted it in the title instead of posting it in the message

Yes, the manual switching was really annoying.
And every Symphonia 1 cast member has special dialogue with the last boss of S2, so obviously it was planned to be possible at one point. (They even dubbed it in English.)

The characters in Graces just played it safe and were dull.
And we still don't get the Tales of Destiny Remake
We should have got that instead.
I feel like people would hate them less if they knew how much more annoying the other Team Destiny games' casts + stories were. :lol I definitely dislike Kyle and Veigue's Claire obsession much more than the Graces' cast.

Having recently gone through Rebirth with a translation guide, I'm inclined to agree.
Weird, than why do some claim it to be the best Tales, personally I did not play Tales of Destiny so I don't know anything about it
Team Destiny games, not Tales of Destiny.
Tales of Destiny remake is one of the best in the series, and the story and characters, while not being the best in all of RPGs, are definitely serviceable even if cliche.
And we still don't get the Tales of Destiny Remake
Or Tales of Destiny 2, or ToV PS3(IM NOT BITTER REALLY), or Xillia 2 sometime before I die of old age.
Or god forbid, my dream come true, a Tales of Phantasia remake that looks like Tales of Vesperia.
No, just Symphonia...
I guess it could have been worse, it could have been Abyss or... that other one, the terrible ps2 one.
Symphonia was my first Tales game, so I had no other game to compare the characters with. By and large I thought they were okay. I mean apart from Sheena and Regal, I didn't think they were that good, but they weren't really that annoying either, especially compared to quite a few games I've played since.
I'm a bit mixed in that I think the game will feel a bit dated now, but I'll still enjoy it. One place where Symphonia does shine for me is that the soundtrack stands out above other Tales games

Legendia could really use a remake honestly. It has a great story and cast (Shirley aside), and the soundtrack is phenomenal. It's just pretty bad from a gameplay standpoint.
I still don't understand why Team Soul Calibur was put to make this game and not do Tales of VS.
It's much less magical once you realize it's 90% Phantasia remixes that sound worse than the SFC Phantasia soundtrack, at least in my opinion. Still one of the better soundtracks in the series for sure. EDIT: Plus it has Fatalize and Beat the Angel.
This is incredible news. I only stopped playing ToS years ago when my Gamecube memory card corrupted, and lost my saves. I was on my 4th run through!
I cant wait to play this again, with the new stuff from the PS2 version. I didnt mind DotNW, was nowhere the quality of ToS, though.
Psyyyyched!

Also, I hope there is an alternate method for the
thing. I hate that by making the alternate choice, it locks you out of a lot of stuff.
Kratos/Zelos
ie. That by choosing Kratos, he has to be your number one affection partner so you can't get a bunch of costumes and events with other characters.
Eh. In the PS2 version
Kratos is no longer the default 4th alternate choice, he has to be in your top 3 now.
Also for GC players:

Unison Attack exhibition. 2:35 for the PS2 exclusive ones. I forgot Prism Stars has no slowdown in the PS2 version.

*sigh* I just want Kratos in my party instead of Zelos, but I want Regal to be my main affection partner and get his special costume/ending.
But Zelos gets Divine Judgement AND Shining Bind.
EDIT: I wish Namco would have included Phantasia X and Narikiri Dungeon X in this and named it "The Aselia Collection". That would have been expecting too much out of Scamco though.
