#1 DISCLAIMER: If you don't care about the video game, Tales of Symphonia:Dawn of the New World, you most likely won't give two shits about anything I have to say in this topic. If that is the case, please refrain from posting wasteful messages and save yourself the time. ^Above message ripped from NarutardIsPwnzor, with minor edits. Anyway, I'm going to use this topic as a sort of Journal, to keep information on this game if anyone else has interest in buying it. So, Dawn of the New World is the sequel to the highly successful GC RPG, Tales of Symphonia. The game takes place 2 years after the events of Symphonia, and the two worlds have been merged. All the characters are returning as playable characters, except Kratos. (YAAAAY) Anyway, onto the game. After a very long into, we get to the game. If you want to know the beginning of the game and the plot, click. Now, the game starts with us seeing Emil, the games main character, seeing his home in ruin in Palmacosta, seeing his parents die. Oddly, he handles this death without being phased, then he suddenly breaks down. We're introduced to Marta, the female lead and we see her being chased, Emil saves her and then he goes back to see his mom alive and she says to go to Luin. He does, and this is where the game starts. If you want a detailed beginning, just ask. The game has a slow beginning, taking about 30 minutes just to be able to fight, but once you do, it becomes a blast. The battle system is somewhere in between Abyss and Vesperia, having Free Run from Abyss and also aerial combo's from Vesperia, but not as much. We're introduced to 3 different characters with different personalities. Emil is quiet and doesnt want to make decisions, Marta is quick to get herself caring and she is open to knew people, and we see Tenebrae, calm and supportive of Emil and makes jokes every so often. Instead of normal party's like in RPG's, you need to recruit monsters if you want to survive, and while this isnt a bad thing, it means Marta and Emil are your only REAL party members (So far anyway). The game is supposed to be hard, so im setting it on Hard mode for the hell of it. On one note, all the Symphonia characters cant level. Meaning they are stuck at the levels you get them, meaning Zelos sucks, Colette sucks, Lloyd sucks even more, etc. That, and the world map is a major flaw, the game has no world map. You pick where to go, and you do. Overall, the game is going fine, the battle system is a million times better than Symphonia's, if you enjoyed Symphonia, you have no reason not to get this. So yeah, I'll be updating this and I havent gotten far into this....so yeah. SHORT VERSION:Good game so far, it has some big flaws that take some time getting used to, but its a good game overall, so far.

#14 Quote by ramen Didn't Zelos die in ToS1? I think there is a split cannon or something. You CAN kill him, but please don't. If you abandon him he'll come back to haunt you.
