everyone says the game is not that good because the 1st one was so much better...
i mean, you don't give a 6.5 (IGN) just because the 1st one was better, it's still an awesome game, and for me, they best battle system ever in an RPG
i give a 10 to ToS, and a 9.2 to ToS:DoTNW
Tales of Symphonia is one of my best games ever, and i would be very happy if Namco could even make 3rd one
don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^
