Oh okay 3 then (not the last one as far as I remember). Actually I may be wrong. Regardless the other ones don't have that.

Yeah, the LMBS is killer. IMO there has yet to be another LMBS to top it.
But then the VAs wouldn't match within the same game. That would be weird.
Glad to see they seem to have gotten the VAs back together though
People already answered but yeah, it's completely different. Only play it after you've beaten the regular story though.
This actually makes me happy. I'm still not expecting something big like voiced skits quite yet, but who knows.
Well, it could've been like in Kingdom Heart's case though with Namine. Have the new voice actor re-record over all the lines for that character.
Actually never mind. That's a bad example since everything character was re-recorded for 365/2 Days in 1.5 I think lol.
I guess more like Chie and Teddie in Persona 4 Golden.
Wait a minute.how did they get Crispin Freeman back for Richter?
Didn't CF go union years ago ?
It's possible ToSC could be a union job. Them formally revealing Minae and Riegal as Milla and Jude before the game even hit suggests ToX may have been union as well.
True, though I thought Namco said they were NOT revoicing anything?

So it sounds like they may have gotten voice actors back to record lines? The question is if it's just for the differences between GCN/PS2 Tales of Symphonia or if they think it's worth re-recording ToS2.
Regal you mean. Richter was Kyle Hebert and of course, doesn't need a revoice.

Yeah sorry .meant Regal
Revoicing ToS2 would be ideal but I have no illusion that would happen. I very much doubt it. Probably just the new ToS content (I'd love to be wrong)
Agree
I actually forgot about that. Lot of conflicting stuff or they were just trying to hide a secret.
If it's true, I'm actually surprised. I would think they'd be able to get by on not bringing back VAs. The amount of new stuff isn't anything like PS3 Vesperia.
I would hope that they would voice the skits if they voiced the new content
This would actually make me consider buying the collection, since I haven't actually played ToS2 as well. Consider, not will buy.
But this is Scamco we're talking about so I ain't getting my hopes up.

I still own my Gc symphonia and wii symphonia 2, but I'll pick up the HD collection. Gotta support English tales and it's been awhile since I've played either game.
This is all I want.
Well at least there's a JPN voice fall back, so hopefully they programmed that right and it works as intended.
This is probably the biggest thing holding me back from playing it with English voices multiple times.
Speaking of skits, I really wish they touch up this game a bit outside of graphics. I might be spoiled by the latest Tales games but being able to pause during skits or pressing buttons to advance the dialogue faster was really nice. Same goes for skipping cutscenes.
I wish they would do that, but I have a feeling they're doing the bare minimum here.
Oh and Strong says the voicework he was called back for was for the original and not KoR (no surprises there) :

I think it's mostly just small things in the new animated cutscenes, and new moves. I don't believe any new sidequests were voiced from what I remember.
And of course, the question if they're going back and voicing all the skits or not.

How many new attacks did the ps2 version add besides for more mystic artes?
Why would you do that?

Cool that they're re-voicing the extras for Symphonia. But too bad the skits don't seem like they'll be voiced. Because of that, I'll have to play with that Japanese voices. (It is dual audio, right?) But I appreciate the extra work nonetheless.

For some reason, I've been thinking about Tales of Phantasia. It's so weird how Tales games nowadays feel modern, yet Tales of Phantasia on the Super Nintendo was largely the same as now. It had features like an intro song, lots of battle voices, the plethora of items and enemies, and music, and a full-blown sound test with an equalizer and DSP settings. (I really miss that in Tales games.) Tales of Phantasia was really ahead of its time, and it didn't even use a fancy SNES expansion chip. I'm surprised that a team like Wolfteam (who didn't seem to make anything too great beforehand) could create something so grand.
Or maybe I'm gushing a bit. I don't like RPG games, so Phantasia is one of the only RPGs I played on SNES.

Based off the FAQ on Gamefaqs about the changes between GCN and PS2:
- 6 New Elemental Variations
- 11 New Unison Attacks
- 8 New Artes
Funny enough, some bosses have new artes now too.

Did they make mystics easier to cast? I remember that in the Gc version only like 3 characters had them and you had to cast a specific arte while holding down specific buttons at a specific time -.-
Not really, though they made it easier to tell when your character is going to reach Overlimit. They may have increased the frequency but I can't remember if that's the case or if it was just my imagination .
*sigh* wtf. Japanese voices it is then. Though watch them mess up the coding for switching languages and it's silent on both or something. >_>

It's going to be like Fire Emblem Awakening and anytime you turn off the game or go back to the XMB, it'll revert back to English voices!
Tales of Favorite, Memories, and Bibliotecha trademarked. Thanks to Miladesn.

Bibliotecha?
That entire game's going to take place in a library, confirmed.

I wouldn't be against Christopher Lloyd, Patrick Stewart, and Jim Cummings being in a Tales game.
Plot Twist: The entire game's world was merely a book in a library.
Bibliotecha sounds like some sort of Tales trivia or encyclopedia game.
You pretty much just described FF: Tactics A2.
Bibliotecha, if I were a terrible person, would be a game that replays and mixes important events from all previous games, which means the game would be 90% reused assets.
You'd rather have great new assets like the ones in Twin Braves ?
I haven't played Twin Braves. I don't own a PSP.
