Literally who would play this
>>320942473
Fuck yes. I was thinking about getting the collection for ps3, but then I'd have to dig it out of the closet, so I'll just wait for this. Gonna get my nostalgia on.
I doubt they'll integrate online multilayer, but fuck that would be fun if they did.
>>320942630

Vesperia when, Bamco.
Is it 2004 all over again?
Seriously the most over-rated Tales.
I wish Tales of Destiny got half the attention this garbage got.
Nah.
I get the impression Symphonia is going to be disappointing due to the battle system being dated as fuck by now.
Would rather keep the positive image I have than realise it's not as good as I remember.
>>320942819
At least is not another Tales of Abyss port.
>>320942870
You
You're just like that guy I knew ages ago who swore crash bandicoot, jak & daxter and ratchet & clank were the best games ever but refused to replay them cause he was convinced he'd be disappointed and realise they had their flaws
Fuck you
>>320942473
will they fix the mistakes they made with the PS3 edition?
>>320942473
>yfw it's still based on the PS2 version and locked at 30fps
>>320942473
It will look and run better in Dolphin. Thanks for wasting your money, I suppose., since this might lead to Vesperia PS3 being ported over
>>320943480
>this might lead to Vesperia PS3 being ported over
never ever
>Tfw we get to watch Zelos die all over again
Can't wait.
>>320943659
looks like your adblock has stopped working m8
>>320943476
>ps2 version
>>320943951
English releases only saw the Gamecube version.
>>320943951
The HD version of Symphonia was based off the Japan only PS2 version.
It's the reason the game is locked at 30fps and has worse textures.
>>320942769
Not really. The only one I played were xillia games.
Didn't bother with series before and probably won't after.
>>320942473
looking forward to it, and by that I mean the mods. And by that I mean I hope they change the models because fuck ToS and their models. I can handle chibi, but this is trying to be chibi and in proportion to a body's anatomy. I can't handle more than half of the english cast either. So I'll have to settle for removing VA and using subs. I'm sure the japanese VA is shit, too.
>>320944231
>I'm sure the japanese VA is shit, too.
zelos is godlike, the rest is okay
>>320943659
what the fuck is that a real acc
>>320943476
We were so close to having a definitive version of the game, dammit
Is it 60 FPS like the Gamecube version?
>>320942473
I'm happy, but I don't think I'd play that battle system again. It was a great game, and a great story (certainly better than the last few) but I don't know if the play itself holds up.
>>320945198
No, this one is built off the PS2 version too
>>320945316
>someone mods in 60fps support into PC version
>game just starts running at 2X speed
>>320945198
I don't think so, they are just going to lazily port their PS3 game which was already a lazy port that had a couple of problems involving dialogue and save file management
but technically a true 60fps mod should be possible
Is it going to be locked to 30FPS like the PS3 version?
If so, hard pass. I'll stick to emulating the Gamecube version.
>>320945371
I think I'm just going to stick to the dolphin version with HD asset mod
>>320942473
i just ordered this 2 days ago with a ps3
fuck
>>320945371
The PS2 version ran at 60fps.
>>320942473
Fuck yeah. I wanted to replay it but on Dolphin I couldn't get past the intro, not sure why but it stuttered like hell.
This is one of my all time favorite games.
>>320942870
>attle system being dated as fuck by now.
It's just simple. Because it's simple, it's timeless. It was a solid battle system that worked.
>>320945690
Hahahah no.
>>320945690
No, it didn't. It was a technically inferior port of the Gamecube version, but with more content.
>>320945690
No it didn't you dumb fuck.
>>320945697
>Dolphin I couldn't get past the intro, not sure why but it stuttered like hell.
It always does that and that's literally it's only issue. The stutter goes away after the intro plays.>>320945583
>HD asset mod
Link?
>>320945690
>The PS2 version ran at 60fps.
>>320945924
Oh really? Cool. I'll try it again sometime then.
Did the ps3 version run 60fps?
Talesfags always say play the ps3 one, but some people say play the Gamecube version.
Which one is better?
>>320946160
>Did the ps3 version run 60fps?
No.
>always say play PS3
No we don't. Play the GC one on Dolphin with graphic buffs. Literally all you're missing is like two cutscenes that got stuck in, a couple costumes and then one attack for each player character.
>>320946143
Yeah it's just a minor audio glitch. It might due the same thing in the other videos, but there's like 3 in the entire game.
>>320946160
PS3 - some more content, dual audio
GCN - 60fps, better colors/textures
>>320945690
>>320946448
>>320946319
How the fuck does the GC version have better textures/run at 60 fps and the ps3 doesn't?
>>320946160
ps3 version has some problems
>30 fps
>some dialogue lines are missing because of lazy porting, most notably remiel in the beginning of the game
>save files are now managed through the ps3's internal system, meaning when you complete the game you don't unlock the highest difficulty for the file you play on, only for new game+
>some arbitrary color changes that don't make sense, for example abyssions hair is changed from red to yellow, BUT the cut-in that appears during his attacks still has red hair
I'd say play the PS2 version if you want the additional content, or the GCN if you want 60fps
>>320946568
Because it's based off the PS2 port and the PS2 is weaker than a GC.
>>320943862
>picking edgelord over best boy
>>320946568
The PS3 version is built off of a formerly JP exclusive PS2 port that didn't look and run as nicely as the GC version because the PS2's hardware was ass
>>320946738
>not fucking your father
PC JUST KEEPS WINNING
Its not like they reworked the engine to make the PS2 version 30fps and tied all the logic to it, they just slowed the game down and made the textures shit and called it a day. Mods should fix it.
>>320947003
absolutely, Zestiria's framerate being tied to logic wasn't even true
>>320946576
>30 fps
>Being a problem in an RPG
>An RPG where the characters only move one arm and their mouth whenever they speak
I'd understand if it were a newer game or something that isn't an RPG, but seriously, it is not a problem for Symphonia.
>>320947213
>>An RPG where the characters only move one arm and their mouth whenever they speak
It's a problem in the combat you dumb fuck. Besides that
>defending 30 FPS when there's literally no reason for it to not be 60
>>320947213
Except Tales has action based combat, nobody cares about the cutscenes being buttery smooth
>>320946576
>some dialogue lines are missing because of lazy porting, most notably remiel in the beginning of the game
Wasn't that because they used the PAL version of the dialogue which was a simplified and cut down version?
Either way I was really dissapointed with the PS3 port, but I got my GCN version stolen years ago and really wanted to play so I bought it anyway because "HD" even though the PS3 version can't even handle 1080p.
>PS3 port is based off inferior PS2 version
Is this because Baba is an autistic Sonybrony?
>>320942473
I want fucking vesperia, not ancient games like this
>>320947486
They couldn't be assed to merge the PS2 content with the GC build
>>320947452
I don't think so, I'm pretty sure Remiel told me about the first temple being in the desert when I played the PAL GC years ago
>>320947731
Huh, maybe it was another version or they just decided "fuck it we don't need these lines."
Still, what happened to taking fucking pride in your work? Hell just look at RE4 on Wii onwards, that's a fantastic port, it takes the best of every version, the graphics and framerate from GCN, the extra modes and weapons from PS2, and then it even adds motion control AND the option for GCN controllers.
>>320948134
I think porting in the tales studio is just done by some interns, nobody bothers with quality control because the original tales of symphonia director has been working on tekken and smash and is not even in their studio anymore
fuck, I pirated ToZ, guess I'll not get it......
>>320943225
This marks the fourth Symphonia port, though.
That's more than Phantasia at this point, or any other Tales game.
GLORIOUS PC GAMING MASTER RACE WINS AGAIN
>>320950038
nope, Phantasia had
PSX remake of SNES original
GBA
PSP port
Another PSP port
iOS
>>320950038
Well, it IS the most popular Tales game. Popular enough to warrant a shitty cash grab sequel years after the fact even.
And in the West it was the first title in the series to be released here that people actually gave a shit about and latched on to.
>>320950334
I stand corrected, then. Two PSP ports, though? What's the difference between them?
>>320942473
>get hype
For the second worst Tales game behind Xillia 2?
>>320950412
The second version was included with the PSP remake of Narikiri Dungeon (which is awesome, by the way) and removed spell pausing.
Both PSP ports introduced full voice acting and Grade bonuses to Phantasia.
Is Tales of Symphonia good? I've never played Tales game and the game that got ported last year just didn't appeal to me.
>>320945690
It ran at silky smooth 30 fps senpai.
Gamecube version ran at mostly 60 fps because of the stronger hardware.
>>320942473
Is this the ps3 version with the lowered FPS?
>>320950903
It's not my favorite Tales, but I found it pretty fun, great artstyle and a lot of the party members are fun to play as.
>>320950430
>worst
>what is Innocence
>what is Symphonia 2
>what is fucking Tempest
>>320943659
fucking kek if this is real
>>320950903
It's ok, not the best Tales but not the worse.
>>320950903
It's probably not a great introduction to Tales.
It starts off well enough but the excitement tapers off quickly and you'll likely find yourself bored after the first few hours. The game really grinds to a halt while simultaneously showing you how much bigger it is than you thought/hoped.
Vesperia and Xillia 1 are good entry points.
So this is the good one right?
I can play this without /v/ screaming at me it's shit like Zestiria?

>>320951745
>>320951469
I think it works fine as an introduction. Maybe not the greatest, but it does the job well enough.
Granted, this also wasn't my first Tales game, so take that with a grain of salt if you want.
Why does Bamco suddenly insist on taking shortcuts on framerate in battles? Hell in Tales of the Abyss the world map had abominable sub-20 frame rate but combat was still a smooth 60 until they ported it to the 3DS.
>>320942473
>another old as fuck and generic jrpg
Moving on

It was mine and many others' first Tales. It's also one of my favorite jrpgs of all time.
People here bash it for being dated, but I actually prefer the battle system to Abyss/Vesperia. I thought free run made the games too easy and spoiled the 2D-fighter feel Symphonia had.
Tales of Innocence R when?
>>320953827
This.
I want to play it, but I'm never going to buy a shita.
>>320952676
The main character in this is literally a semen demon.
