You might want to pre-order so you can get the Art Book ^_^

I'll play it eventually. It looks nice. I like the idea for the battle system, too. It's not all just basic turn-based. There's some variety. :)

Im definetly gonna get it ASAP, along with Baten Kaitos (another GC exclusive RPG) its top of my to get list. The graphics look amazing, the battle system is similar to Star Ocean 2 so its pretty enjoyable and offers alot of freedom and the characters look stunning.

If this game is half as good as Skies of Arcadia Legends I wouldnt be surprised to see alot of PS2 fanboys jumping ship to the Gamecube ;)

It's about time someone is nice to Nintendo, they really needed a game like this to show that not just Sony owns the rpg world like some sort of propaganda.

I'm probably getting it today. It'll give me something to do while we're in Kansas City. And I've found better RPGs for the GCN and XBOX than the PS2. Just because Sony has FF doesn't mean the own the RPG world.

I've been enjoying this quite a bit. :cool:
Namco really did a good localization job on a Tales game this time around.

The voices are well-done and the story has been pretty good so far with a few plot twists here and there. Gameplay is fun. I remember quite a few of the techniques from Phantasia and Eternia.

The artbook is pretty nice as well with profiles and artwork of the nine playable characters, art of other charactors, the summons, vehicles, and several pages worth of small character sprites or whatever they are called.

So, yeah. Tales of Symphonia gets my recommendation.

I've had it since friday. It is very fun, just like Phantasia, although i have yet to be defeated by anything that does not require you to die.

Quickie question: Is Tales of Eternia in english?
