The End Is In Sight! VGC Let's Play: Tales Of Symphonia!

[b00moscone]

Okay! Back with my second entry for my Tales of Symphonia playthrough! I've put about three hours into the game so far and i'm enjoying it so far, though i can't say i've seen what all the hype is for yet ;) But anyways, let's get on with it!

So last time, i ended off at the entrance to a forest on my way to Lloyd's house, but instead we get side-tracked and meet Genis' friend, Marble, in the Ranch. There we find out that she posseses an exosphere, exect without a key chain attached to it. Lloyd warns Marble of the danger of not having a key chain on it, and, in my case, offers her to make one. However, in the midst of all this, Marble is caught not doing work by the Desians, who run the Ranch. Wanting to stop Marble from being brutally punished by the guards, they make their way to high ground and launch an attack to lure the guards out. In spite of this, Lloyd's face is seen and he has no choice but to fight back.

After winning and fleeing, we meet this mysterious guy, who honestly i didn't take much notice to :P After this, Lloyd goes to his father's house, labled 'Dirk's House, where we find more about his backstory, and namely, how his mother died. Honestly, i feel its good that we now know he has a motive, because before i feel he just did things for the sake of it :P

Okay, i'm going to try and fly through this, because i don't want this to be too long, but basically Lloyd wakes up and finds that Colette left early, so he goes back to the village to find out more, which then leads to the village being attacked by the Desians by Lloyd's fault, which leads him to be banished from the village, along with Genis. They then prepare to find Colette as planned, and eventually reach the City of Triet.

Here, Lloyd and Genis realize that the Desians are even on the lookout for him here, with fliers being placed around the town. After investigating the town for any hints to where Colette might be, they get spotted by the Desians, surprise surprise. Although he defeats the ones who spot him, he is nevertheless captured, which Genis being a pussy and running off =_= A-Anyways, Lloyd gets caught, but manages to escape his cell and, by traversing a small puzzle or two, manages to make his way around the prison, that is, until he is spotted and accidently runs into a room where a blue-haired man is (Is he the same guy from earlier? I can't remember, ah well), and where he meets up with Genis, who is accompanied by Colette, Kratos and Genis' older sister. With some fighting etc, they manage to escape the prison and get back to Triet, and rest there for the night.

The next morning, they make their way to the Fire Temple, and that is where i concluded my play session. Next time i'll probably just cover the Fire Temple as i don't want these things to drag on for too long, but for those who kept with it, thank you for reading! And i hope you read my next one as well! :)
