This additional content includes two new animated cutscenes, some new side quests, and a Mystic Arte Attack for each character. Since the Tales of Symphonia found in ToS Chronicles is based off of the Japan-only PS2 version of ToS, the additional content found in that version is also included here for the first time in a western release. There are some smaller additions here as well.
If players choose the Japanese voice track, the in-game skits will be fully voice acted. Being able to play the game with a Japanese voice track with English subs is especially exciting for me, as I prefer Japanese voice acting in JRPGs most of the time, but there’s also a bit of an added bonus here as well. Visuals look much crisper - I especially noticed a contrast in the character’s faces.
TALES OF SYMPHONIA CHRONICLES VOICE ACTORS UPGRADE
The two biggest additions to ToS Chronicles from the games’ original iterations are the HD graphics upgrade and the inclusion of both an English and Japanese voice track - which I believe may be a franchise first.Ĭoncerning the HD graphics, the game looks much improved (below is a comparison video captured by Richard Eisenbeis of Kotaku). ToS Chronicles combines both onto one disc for the PS3, a platform which should make Tales fans feel right at home. The original ToS was released back in 2003 in Japan and 2004 in North America for the Gamecube, with ToS: Dawn being released five years later in 2008 on the Wii. ToS Chronicles actually features two full games: Tales of Symphonia (henceforth ToS) and its sequel, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World (henceforth ToS: Dawn). What does ToS Chronicles add or change, and how does this classic stand up to the test of time? As such, when it was announced that a 10th Anniversary HD Edition (entitled Tales of Symphonia Chronicles) would be released, fans were as pleased as punch. Tales of Symphonia is often lauded as one of the strongest entries in the Tales series.
