I'm getting it too if that helps
The original version did so I assume this one does too.
It's 3D but you can't free run. Enemies and party members can be all over the place but you can only really move in 3 dimensions by targeting an enemy and moving towards it or away from it.
pretty done

Now I understand why it's not called Tales of Symphonia HD Collection. Looks like shit and any decent PC + Dolphin could put it to shame. Scamco indeed.

How can you downport a Gamecube game on PS3? That is incompetence if I've ever seen it.
Yes, and the camera is better behaved then the GCN version (which only focused on player 1).
Excellent! This will be purchased then.

I will do my best to AVOID playing my GC version... don't want to remember what the glorious 60 FPS feels like. What a freakin' shame man.
That sounds not so good. Ah well, I played Phantasia two years ago and didn't have a problem with the combat. Hopefully, this won't be that big of a deal for my enjoyment.
I'm still getting it since I want to support the series. But yeah the 30FPS is really noticable if you played the GC version. I'm used to it since I beat the PS2 version a few times and supposedly this is smoother with better load times. Some of you being okay with their lackluster port job baffles me though. It was a terrible port back then and it still is now.
PAULINK
I microwave steaks.
The english voices are pretty great, especially if you were a fan of teen titans.
Not sure if I want to try out the Japanese voices since I'm so attatched to the english voices.
So THAT what's missing...
Man, this is a minimum effort from Namco, but goddamn it, I'm still gonna buy it.
Also, considering we'll never get Vesperia PS3... how do we unlock the cameo costumes from that game?
tri-Crescendo did the "port". I think Namco would have done a better job like Graces f.
You unlock every costumes by completing the game.
Hmmm...
Was there any explanations on why it's not 60fps? For a game like this it wouldn't be so hard, I guess?
I can totally deal with shitty textures though. It's really the fact that it's not 60fps that kills the deal to me. :/
I'll probably end up buying it, but I'm thinking about playing it on Dolphin instead now...

You don't need a save file from the other games?
Nope.
I'm even importing the US CE. 4 disc soundtrack+artbook+steelbook, come to me.

because its technically a port of the ps2 version, which was 30fps.
still a piss poor excuse. 'why not both' approach for rereleases/remasters/etc isn't a rare concept.
oddly enough though, i'd probably pick this up if there wasn't another tales game coming in a few months. Can only really play one a year lol.

So Skits...
If I remember correctly the GCN version did not have voiced skits. Will this release have voiced skits?

Funny how much fans wanted this, and how unlikely some will buy it now due to lack of effort on Bamco's part.
30 FPS doesn't bother me, it's certainly not unplayable as most make it out to be, I can even deal with the shifty textures, but man, that vanilla battle system. Not sure if want.

Lol nope...kinda. Well the Japanese voices are an option and you get voiced skits that way. Just not in English.
Me too. The extras are cool and all, but $100 is a steep price for a downgrade of a game on a what, 15 year old piece of hardware?

They are if you play Dawn of the New World.
Nope (unless you choose the Japanese voices). New Mystics are voiced though.
IIIRC the save file gives you the costume at the start instead of you having to beat the game to obtain it.

funny isn't probably the right word, disappointment is more like it lol.
How many tales games are there where battles are 30fps?
It's pretty much just this and abyss 3ds and 5fps gba phantasia?
Zelos sounds like shit in Japanese (to me at least).

What costumes do you get with a Graces F/Xillia saves?
Except Tenebrae.
3DS Abyss was a downgrade but I enjoyed it just fine. It was still playable.

Thanks for the reply. Any voice acting in the skits is preferred to the deafening silence. It's one of my main gripes from Tales of the Abyss...

Malik for Regal, Pascal for Raine, Alvin for Zelos and Elize for Presea.
I'm kinda excited for this because I love Symphonia so much but yeah the port is pretty disappointing. I'd have loved to get the CE tho.

the 30FPS is super disappointing to me, especially as I already have this on GC.
Are all those bonuses really worth 60 dollars extra the cost of the game? Debating about cancelling my CE through amazon.

Doubt they learned their lesson from the Bravely Default fiasco anyway

I don't really like the Teen Titans, so I may just play in Japanese. Every time Lloyd opens his mouth I think I'm playing as Robin. Scott Menville did a great job voicing Lloyd, but his voice is so distinct, I find it hard to separate it from other characters he has voice acted. I'm just happy we have the choice between English and Japanese. Dual audio should be the standard going forward if it's viable.
I know at the very least one of Raine's was, but the localisation is different from later entries. She says Sacred Light instead of Sacred Shine. I think the names are different for Zelos and Kratos' too.

How exactly are the new Mystic Artes voiced in English? Are they by the original VAs?
Also, glorious thread title.

No, they went back and rerecorded them, which is why I'm disappointed there's no voiced English skits. Yeah, it's more expensive but it's the anniversary game.
They also changed Shining Bind -> Holy Binds. Which is fucking dumb since it was already called Shining Bind in Vesperia, Radiant Mythology, and Dawn of the New World. Someone was lazy checking names for the localization. :/
I think even if you're a fan of the English dub for Symphonia, Japanese is probably the way to go because of voiced skits + having consistent voices from ToS1->DotNW
Graces F gets you Pascal + Malik, Xillia gets you Alvin + Elize, Xillia 2 would get you Ludger
EDIT: damn, sort of beaten except for Xillia 2.
Honestly unless you're a huge Tales fan or want dual-audio/voiced skits, not really.

Original Zelos said he came back. Not sure about the others but it's reasonable to assume that they did since Shiloh got the snub for part 2 because he's a union-only actor like the rest of the replaced actors.

I'll pass, but it's really making me want to break out the ol' GCN and replay this plus finally beat BG&E and the Master Quest.

Yeah, and since they printed 3k more doubt it'll hold as much value.
Plus, Amazon is probably just gonna slap a label on the CE Box itself and mail it that way =/
