It seems that Namco Bandai made it a point to keep the focus of the game on (new characters) Emil and Marta in order to try to achieve greater character development. Unfortunately though, fans of the original Tales of Symphonia will most likely feel as if Emil and Marta are nothing more than the baggage that they have to deal with in order to get to the characters they truly like and care about.
