It places more emphasis on the relationship between Lloyd and Colette, and is obviously a Compressed Adaptation. It's unlikely any of this will ever be officially translated to English, but fansubs of the OVAs are circulating around the Internet if you look. A manga was published that covered the events of the first game and its ending becomes the first game's canon ending according to the second game (See Third Option Adaptation below). The game was adapted into three four-episode anime OVAs, the last of which is still in production, and 6 omakes. The game also contained numerous references to the first game in the series, Tales of Phantasia, which turned out to be because Symphonia is a Prequel set in the same world as Phantasia, a few thousand years before.

Like many of its predecessors, Tales of Symphonia retained the real-time battle system, the use of food as healing items, the famous summon spirits, and the games' general tendency to include lots of Character Development, themes of discrimination and alienation, and a villain with considerably deeper motives than simply being Ax Crazy and openly evil. Aiding them is Lloyd's best friend and Bratty Half-Pint Genis Sage, Lloyd's teacher and Genis' older sister Raine Sage, and a mysterious Badass mercenary called Kratos Aurion.Īfter a few hours the storyline drops its first Wham! Episode on you, after which the plot expands exponentially from a single Black and White Morality tale to a full-on Gambit Pileup, with multiple sides trying to manipulate or eliminate Colette for their own purposes and Lloyd determined to do everything he can to protect her, even from herself. Idiot Hero Lloyd Irving, after some hometown-related complications, sets out to protect his childhood friend and current Chosen One Colette Brunel on her Journey of World Regeneration. The only way to stop the Desians is the Journey of World Regeneration, a pilgrimage around the world taken by a Chosen One that, when completed, will awaken the goddess Martel and save the world. Tales of Symphonia is set in the land of Sylvarant, whose Life Energy ( Mana) is being slowly drained away by the evil Desians. It stands as the top selling game in the entire series, and the only one to break a million copies sold due to extensive worldwide sales. Tales of Symphonia is a 2003 video game, the fifth game in Namco's famous Tales (series), and the third to ever be released outside of Japan first in Europe.
