It's always fun watching people defend games they like from bad reviews.

You seriously dislike this game don't you? I remenber that you were saying that the original tales was boring.

The "original tales" isn't the original you're thinking of.

Aside from that Tales of Symphonia is mediocre especially when played alongside Skies of Arcadia and Xenosaga which I rate much higher in terms of quality and overall enjoyment.  I'm not expecting ToS2 to be bad, but I'm not expecting much more than the original in terms of visuals, character quality, or really anything.  I'm expecting Tales of Symphonia with a 2 at the end.

 

I really did not thing tales of symphonia was mediocre in any way. It had great character development, many side quests, a VERY enjoyable battle system, and 'overall enjoyment.'

I dunno how great xenosaga or skies of arcadia is, but seeing as how tos singlehandedly brought me back to liking rpg's again, I would not say it is a mediocre game.

On another note, I feel that only people who have either played the game for an hour or not played it at all can say that the story is cliche. *COUGH GAMESPOT COUGH* They're people who thought the tower of salvation was the last stop and quit before it. (I almost did LOL)
