Tip! The Tales of series ...

... Can convince as usual with this game. The character and the story are the main arguments, but this one is from Tales games actually also as usual. Although these (of course) some stereotypical characteristics (brave but not very intelligent, kind-hearted and clumsy, etc.), but these qualities always make only a small part of this character from. This can now be very difficult to put into words, if you want to meet them, so tell ichs times: The character are used heavily and you put yourself in the course of time more and more into it, not least their stories and interactions with their environment, and any character development provide a first-class experience.

Among the mentioned stuttering, you should on the world map to walk around (outside cities), I can only say so much: For me they very rarely come on the one hand in front and on the other they are only for a split second to merken- so nothing what so far especially me disrupted or brought into the Predullie would ... For me, this is actually not even a real withdrawal, since it at least my game so far could not mitigate.

Another "gotcha" was for some reviewers, that (basically more availability for attacks in battle) could place later only two keys shortcuts. There are probably. only two shortcuts, but you can still up to 6 or even 8 (?) show additional attacks, more than in the 2004 version! However, it has other shortcuts here, perhaps because one or the other reviewer has not thoroughly checked?

From the graph here, everything looks around and pretty. In particular, people and places seem a bit more detail than in the 2004 version (and I know this only from a few videos). From the style of the people / cities also everything seems a bit fairytale as for example in Tales of Xillia- one has but become accustomed so there is in my opinion can not fault it. As always, I can say that is especially not identified a Tales of game by its graphics, but still I think this one fits perfectly. Who understands graphics giants among good RPGs that will gladly take up Skyrim and the like. The music is used well, although of course I have not heard very little, the music accompany but very pleasant.

Schön would have been if you could have seen how many EPs directly in combat to the next level is missing (a border around the character images which would have filled enough) or in general a free camera would have. In unexplored areas on the world map you sometimes have so namely little view and you will find the camera bad set before. In the first part can be in combat also not free to walk around, which I think is also a pity, but that you have probably not "to programmed" because they wanted to remain faithful to the roots of the game. Also you get used to.

All in all, I can say that even after a few hours of playing time could draw already under his spell me the game and I can never expect to make the console again.

PS: This is a premature Review- possibly later I change some minor issues or add anything else. Furthermore my of previous text is based only on the first few hours of Tales of Symphonia 1. I hope yet I could a little help and recommend you urgently to grab even to this game: If necessary, first borrow when the Tales of series does not yet know;)
