* IKnewIt: Some people saw the [[spoiler: somewhat unorthodox LukeIAmYourFather twist coming.]] Others came close [[spoiler:by believing the two characters to be brothers or connected in some other way.]]

Added DiffLines:

** Every character has a generic spellcasting voice line, including Lloyd ("Take this!") and Presea ("Ha!") who have no spells to use these lines on.

Added DiffLines:

** Sheena has an unused summoning spell in her moveset for [[spoiler:Corrine's post-reincarnation identity as Verius]]. The plans for this apparently didn't get very far, as it's just a near-identical copy of her summoning spell for Corrine, except that it requires her to be in Over Limit like other summoning spells.

** The Japanese version has a "Rename Gem" key item that allows [[HelloInsertNameHere renaming the playable characters]] (in text only; voice acting still uses their original names). International releases remove access to it, presumably due to variable-width fonts making variable character names a lot more work to deal with for the scriptwriters.

International releases remove access to it, presumably due to variable-width fonts making variable character names a lot more work to deal with for the scriptwriters. And they ''aggressively'' removed it, too -- even if you edit your save file, the localized game actively deletes the Rename Gem from your inventory if you have it and reverts the characters' names to normal if they're edited.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Voice and animation files not used in the main game show that the characters had unused artes that would've made them even more powerful. For example, [[TheHero Lloyd]] would've been able to the same artes as [[VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia Cress]], including his LimitBreak Dark Blade and [[spoiler: his Eternal Sword artes]] while Colette would've been able to use [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Final Fury]] (complete with [[CuteClumsyGirl tripping that somehow produces lasers from the sky]]) and an extra LimitBreak called Sephiroth.

** In the [=GameCube=] version, Kvar has an unused voice line in which he shouts "Booty Call!" [[CallingYourAttacks like it's an attack]]. This was ''probably'' a joke of some kind, since it doesn't really fit his character.

** In the [=GameCube=] version, every playable character plus the FinalBoss and {{superboss}} has [[SuperMovePortraitAttack cut-in portraits]] for Mystic Artes (and Presea has ''two''!), but only Lloyd, Colette, and Genis actually have Mystic Artes to use them with. All of these got implemented starting in the [=PS2=] release.

** In the [=GameCube=] version Raine has incomplete data for two Mystic Artes -- a chant and animation for Sacred Light (implemented in the PS2 release) and a chant only for Fairy Circle (implemented in the PS3 release). In every version, she also has Dark Sphere and Bloody Lance ([[CastingAShadow Dark-elemental]] variants of her existing [[LightEmUp Photon and Holy Lance]] spells) fully coded into her moveset but completely inaccessible.

... at least according to tcrf. they don't mention fairy circle being implemented on that page yet even though newer guides confirm it is

* DummiedOut: [[http://tcrf.net/Tales_of_Symphonia_(GameCube)#Unused_Model There's an unused model of]] [[VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny Rutee Katrea]] in the game's coding. She was probably going to appear in the Coliseum Cameo battle along with Garr. The [=PS2=] version and [=PS3=] versions also have an unused "Meikuu Zanshouken[=/=]Dark Blade" arte name shout for Lloyd, the same Mystic Arte used by [[VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia Cress Albane]], hinting that Lloyd was probably going to receive an extra move along those lines as a tribute.

** Every character has RelationshipValues indicating how they feel towards Lloyd... including ''Lloyd himself'', in what is presumably a simple copy-paste oversight. While Lloyd's self-love can be modified by cooking foods with his liked and disliked ingredients, it never does anything for obvious reasons.

Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame: Kratos has the same name as the protagonist of the ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' series. Coincidentally, this Kratos can obtain the title "War God". Though while the spelling is the same, they are pronounced quite differently (KRAH-tos vs KRAY-tos).
