Tales of Symphonia

Tales of Symphonia is an action role-playing game release for the Nintendo GameCube on August 29, 2003, in Japan. It was publish by Namco and is the fifth core product of the Tales series. But the game was localize and release in North America on July 13, 2004. And in Europe on November 19, 2004. In Japan, the game was ported for the PlayStation 2 with additional content and was release on September 22, 2004.

However, the game takes place in a fictional world called Sylvarant and follows Lloyd Irving. And Lloyd accompanies his childhood friend, Colette Brunel, who is destine to go on a journey to save their world. But as their journey progresses, they learn that saving Sylvarant endangers Tethe’alla, a world parallel to their own. Also the game’s central theme is an “RPG that resonates with you” (君と響きあうRPG, Kimi to Hibikiau RPG).

Gameplay

Like previous installments in the Tales of Symphonia series, Tales of Symphonia consists primarily of three major areas: an overworld field map, town and dungeon maps, and a battle screen. However, the overworld map is a 3D model, featuring a scale-down version of the game’s fictional world which the player travels through to reach the game’s locations. As with preceding games in the series, the world map can be traverse by foot, on the party’s quadrupedal pet Noishe. And on flying vehicles known as Rheairds. On field maps, characters direct across realistically scale environments. Also the battle screen is a 3D representation of an area, in which the player commands the characters in battles against CPU-control enemies.

Moreover, on the overworld and field maps, various skits between the characters can be view. They involve animated character portraits, subtitles, and, in the Japanese version, full voice acting. Skits concern anything from character development to side details. And overworld map skits affect Lloyd’s relationships with other party members. Also the player will be able to make certain decisions that imperceptibly affect how the other characters think of Lloyd. But some of these choices have minor ramifications for the game’s storyline.

Battle system

During battle sequences, the game uses the Multi-Line Linear Motion Battle System. Four characters from the party are chosen to battle; those not control by a player are guide by artificial intelligence with instructions set by the player beforehand. However, damage dealt to the opponent fills a “Unison Gauge”. When this is full, a “Unison Attack” can be trigger. And allow the party to use techniques simultaneously on a single enemy. When certain techniques are combine, a special attack results in additional damage.

After battle, a currency Grade is grant or subtract base on specific criteria that are fulfill in battle. It is use to purchase bonuses during New Game Plus. Also players are prompt to cook food after battles if they have the materials. Cooking recipes determine the benefits receive such as health recovery. And the degree of the benefit is determine by which character is chosen to cook.

Moreover, Tales of Symphonia’s skill system is built around the use of “EX Gems”, which come in four ranks. And each character can equip up to four EX Gems and set abilities to those gems. The abilities determine if the characters will learn Strike or Technical techniques and spells. Also combinations of EX Gem abilities can grant additional abilities “EX-Skills”. The development of a character’s attributes is determine by their issue “Title”. And titles are earn through story progression, side quests, or completion of miscellaneous criteria.
