Darc Requiem on 03 December 2008
I'm playing through Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World at present. The game is about what I expected. A solid but unspectactular game. I am still enjoying it for the most part and I'm actually enjoying the battle system more than Tales of Vesperia. That said, Emil is the most annoying and emo lead character I've ever had the misfortune of playing. Given what happened to him, I gave him a bit of leeway but 12 hours into game and he is still as whiny, self loathing, and as scared of his own shadow as ever. If it wasn't for Tenebrae, I may put the game down by now and returned to at later point in time. Emil is definately no Yuri Lowell, hell he isn't even Lloyd Irving. Lloyd may have been cookie cutter but he wasn't annoying.
