They also confirmed that some of the lisenced DLC costumes aren't coming back. I assume the Code Geass ones

And Sophie's Hatsune Miku costume too most likely. Last I checked Sega had the game rights to Vocaloid so...

Not that it'll stop PC modders bringing them back in anyway though, I saw it happen with Vesperia.

Well moreover, I'm just glad on the confirmation the english dub is in for the remaster after they cheaped out on not putting it in for Baten Kaitos HD.

Code Geass is also owned by Bandai Namco, and those costumes have special victory quotes, so I assume this is about Miku.

I'm a little bummed - though not at all surprised - that Laura Bailey won't be returning.

Code Geass went off the Japanese PSN ages ago while Miku stayed there. That being said, neither costume set is on the DLC list, so I think they're all gone.

Honestly, this is looking like for once they gave a shit. They're even adding assistive features for the coloured puzzles for people with colour blindness. That is not standard accessibility you'd expect from a cash grab remaster. It shows genuined care and I am honestly pleasantly surprised.

Which means Namco actually saw the writing on the wall; that the Symphonia port (frankly its not a fucking remaster in the slightest) sucked on ice and they need to try harder.

Which probably means if they DO remaster it again another decade later hopefully they'll know what to do.

Or maybe they'll try and remake it next time.

Is Tipton redoing all of Cheri's voice work or just the new stuff Bailey can't do?

I'm gonna assume all the new stuff Bailey was too expensive for Namco to hire for.

Note: The new skits arnt actually part of the game itself, just extra skits you can view in the skits menu.

You will not hear the new Cheria voice in the actual game.

Plus its available for preorder now! There's a deluxe edition with the usual soundtrack and artbook stuff. But also classic battle music tracks too like what Arise had. I just hope that's not grossly overpriced later down the line.

Well, I bought Tales of Symphonia on Switch. Any general advice? Had a bit of a rough start with Lloyd getting KO'd in one of the first fights and had some supply issues, but went back to town, healed up, and entered the temple again. So far I've been trying to resist the urge to Attack! Attack! Attack!, with a bit of blocking if I can anticipate a nasty attack from the enemy.

Edit: Got to the desert town. Was a bit low on money so I didn't buy anything except a fortune to know where to go and some map services, but no weapon. Turned out to be a mistake as Lloyd went to jail with only a basic weapon and no means of recovery, which is a general issue I have with the game. I don't know if I can really get into it at this rate with battle encounters being such a drain on resources.

I was waiting for Life Bottle Productions to release their Tales Of Rebirth patch to have something to play and post here, but hey, gotta help the newbie. Symphonia is one of the better games in this series and deserves to be enjoyed to the end.

General early game guide lines:

  • Get Colette to level 3 in Iselia's outskirts before setting foot on the first dungeon.
  • level up as much as you can inside Martel's temple. Its gonna be a while before you get a full team of 4 again.
  • Magic lens are cheap and super useful on bosses.
  • Set up your Strategies. A full attack one, a moderate one, a defensive one... you can save up to 3 sets. The Default one will only get you so far.
  • Iselia boss (the one with just Lloyd and Genis): have Lloyd block the monster with his body and do combos when its safe. Have Genis spam spells and use 1 orange gel if needed.
  • Triet area: Lloyd wont be captured until you trigger the conversation about the wanted posters. You can shop and sleep at the inn safely, just dont 'talk' to the poster.
  • When you are with just Lloyd, learn that every dungeon has one enemy that will drop a gem which lights up the mid-dungeon Save point. Conserve resources.
  • After the boss starts, the rest of your team will appear. Level 10 is enough.
  • Returning to Triet, Raine joins... but she's level 4. Have Kratos as healer until she catches up.
  • For Triet ruins' boss, and for every 'angel trial' boss, Colette is mandatory on your battle team. Dont neglect her.

Congrats, you are out of Early Game Hell! Have fun and come back so we can hear your adventures with this fantastic game (before everyone gets busy with Switch Graces, that will be released this January.)

I spit my tea at "Treaty of Stamatina". That's like the dumbest use of an old lady Greek name I've ever seen. It means "stopper".

Open world can work but not sure if it is the best fit for a Tales game. Best fit for Tales would be Open Area in my view. Can go to a set amount of dungeons in what ever order you want but after that plot happens, then you get a new set of different harder dungeons. Still not every game needs to go Open World. Honestly something like Link Between Worlds or Echoes of Wisdom would be the best fit for Tales in my opinion.

I actually really like the premise of a stereotypical medieval fantasy kingdom existing alongside a straight-up modern nation where the cities have skyscrapers and everything, but those character ages are lol-worthy. The clearest evidence of this being fake is the idea that a woman in a Tales game would be over the age of 25.

And that title is literally just
