PS2's Tales of Symphonia may be graphically and uh..."speedily" inferior to the Gamecube's, but there's some cool new stuff: http://namco-ch.net/talesofsymphonia_ps ... index.html

Based on what I've read, if you look at the screen shot pairs, these are new features:

1. Don't know
2. New mini-game
3. Colette gets new outfit (Lloyd's clothes)
4. Lloyd and Kratos get Mizuho (?) clothes (Kratos = EEE!!)
5. Zelos and Sheena get "biker" clothes
6. Genis and Presea get winter clothes
7. Regal gets a more president-y outfit
(not included, but I heard Raine gets an Altimira bunny-costume
:roll: )
8-11: I guess you can fight alone if you want.
12-14: New Unison Attacks?
15-19: New half-cutscreen showing a characters face if they do something. The screenshots show, in order, Sheena, Zelos, Raine, Regal, and Presea.

Uh? THese aren't too great. They are just things thrown in at the last minute. I mean, come on, the costumes are only moderate to say the least, why add more unisons when there is stardust rain and prism stars, and have you ever tried to play solo? It's hard. Kill off everony except you and fight, see what I mean. Unless you are on x10 and playing on normal, it's really hard and pointless. More super attacks means more training with those characters. They probably where just thrown in.

My name is Kafeithekeaton. I have finished my job of showing you why it isn't so great and I am here to remind you six seconds with the music starting before the battle isn't worth it.

Good day to you,
Kafei

:P

Well, it's Japan only, to my knowledge. Good luck. And Kaf already has pics... bad backgrounds...

Still, the PS2 version is inferior to the GC one.

The PS2 one is definitely inferior to the Gamecube one, especially since the Almighty Graphics-king PS2 doesn't look as smooth or load as fast as the Gamecube one. But I'd really like to play alone, I'm tired of Genis and Sheena killing everything... :wink:

YEAH! WE beat you back into shape! THat's how you talk!


If you want to play alone, just kill everone else off in your party! PROBLEM SOLVED(That's what I did on Zelos fight).

Anywho, you could play TotW 3:ND3. YOu can play alone after you get through certain points. ;)
