X-Play: Tales of Symphonia Review

9
Fans of the series, and especially the original Tales of Symphonia, may still want to give this sequel a go. They'll want to see what the first game's characters are up to, and they might have a little more patience when it comes to this kind of dialogue and storytelling. Anybody else, though, can probably find a much better RPG somewhere this season.

xplay hates jrpg, so I don't even know why they are even reviewing the genre in the first place.

Wow, a 2 out of 5?!
The original was one of my favorite Gamecube games - I'm skeptical that this new one actually should get a 2/5.

4.1 - disregard that score.
I have the game, its fun and i,m definitely into the story. If you have played the first one then you will enjoy this one very much. Both vesperia and new dawn are great games. My only problem is (and mind you this is a personal thing not at all a knock against the game) I grind to much. By the time I'm 15% into the game, I'm at level 38:P The whole fighting mechanic really gets addicting to me to the point where I actively seek battles. If i had to rate this game i would give it a "B-". and to me that is a passing grade. if you're still unsure about it, try renting it.

4.2 - The combat system....
Is definitely top notch, if you enjoyed ToS for GCN, you will surely love this one. I love this game, the animations and the battle are really something, I do enjoy battling, unlike some other RPGs where I am "damn random system", I even wait for the enemies to respawn in this game just to fight them again. And the combo posibilities are insane. So yeah go buy it, support RPGs, specially this one.

I love the tales series, because they give you every aspect of the character, like you get to know everything about them (by adding some "skit" sequences where they chat about what they dislike/like, their life, their fears, etc etc, they even joke a lot n stuff, really inmersive).

In fairness , while Tales is never gonna be the greatest jrpg made I still fel this review is way harsh. Nobody else has given it a mark in the 40% range so ignore this bollox. It's a good , fun but not too deep jrpg and I think about a B is fair enough too.
