That bothers me as well, but like ItsaMii said, they're still putting a ton of effort for a spin-off. Tales spin-offs have never had overworlds. IMO, they should just have made an OFFICIAL Tales of Symphonia 2. Make it an OFFICIAL Tales, not a spin-off/gaiden type thing. But overworld or no overworld, it could still be good. Look at games like KH. It has no overworld yet remains to be a very good game still (because it's story driven?). I think if the Symphonia team work on ToS: KoR, it could turn out REALLY, REALLY good. |
It's not technically a spinoff. It's a "mothership title." That means it's considered part of the primary canon.
