I think it's underrated even among the Tales fanbase. I'm in the middle of Vesperia now and there really isn't some blatant leap in quality over DotNW and I actually prefer some parts of it to Vesperia.
That said, I actually ended up playing this game a little bit more than Symphonia in total hours. The faster pace and monster system really added some incentive to experiment, and the game is superior to the original in SO MANY WAYS that it's not funny. My only gripe is the length and the fact that, as an experienced Tales player, I can smell the "escort title" all over it with its decidedly scaled back approach to a Tales adventure.
