How can we forget it if you keep reminding us >:(Can we all agree that Tales of Symphonia 2: Dawn of the New World is beyond a disappointment and something that should be best forgotten?
Having the cast we loved from the original be relegated to side characters and the the new protagonists both being insufferable was just so bad.
How could we ever forget?
It's the only Tales game I never managed to finish. It was more because I hated the combat though.Can we all agree that Tales of Symphonia 2: Dawn of the New World is beyond a disappointment and something that should be best forgotten?

I was a huge fan of Symphonia at the time, so this game being announced was a godsend. It definitely dropped the ball on a lot of things, different voice actors from the original cast, no real world map, the Pokemon system that I never really used, and of course the two main characters.Can we all agree that Tales of Symphonia 2: Dawn of the New World is beyond a disappointment and something that should be best forgotten?

I'm playing Zestiria after Beseria too. Although Zestiria doesn't capture my interest as much. After playing Berseria though I love all the references and things I can find in Zestiria.Finished Zestiria some time ago and was a little bit disappointed. Played Berseria first and Zestiria is not even close. I can definitely appreciate the improvements of Berseria now that I see the difference between the 2.
Would love to be a part of a Reseteria discord.Updated the OP with actual content. Expect to see more minor updates soon.
Also, I would like to gauge the potential interest in a Reseteria sever on Discord.
Edit: updated second post with some community info.

They can be set to not be switch-able. WrestleERA was testing it out and many are lamenting it because of a theme month winning over another lol

I would be okay with this if it were a 3D remake. Not another tweak of the PSX version. ToP Cross Edition is already about as good as a 2d version of Phantasia can get.We'll get another version of Tales of Phantasia on the Switch lol.
I think the only reason I voted Team Symphonia is because next to none of the Team Destiny games even came west, so I haven't played any of them. Graces is the only one I can think of off the top of my head, but I don't think that was strictly a Team Destiny game.

Unrelated, but I started playing Tales of the Rays on Android. Only a couple days in, so I haven't yet gotten a grasp on how awful the microtransactions can get, but so far it's scratching that Tales grind itch. I'll see how long I can continue playing before it starts feeling mandatory to shell out money.

Like I've said before, I think the game's weird in that it's a spinoff but also a sequel....it didn't really get the budget needed for a "proper" sequel to Symphonia and wasn't treated as such. Still had some fun with it, and it was nice seeing more references to Phantasia, but I compare it closer to something like the Radiant Mythology games than a mainline title.I didn't HATE ToS: Dawn of the New World. It actually got me back into the series after I ended up hating both Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Legendia. It was okay at best though.
The original cast getting dumped as side-characters with level caps was lame. As was most of them being recast. And most of them apparently not changing their clothes at all after two years.
I liked the characters in Zestiria if nothing else.. Oh and the soundtrack was pretty good for a Tales game
The poll is essentially a covert question whether you imported Japan only Tales games and have played entries consisting of more than the usual TP and/or CC based systems.Basically this. I think it's kind of expected when more people just know and have played the Team Symphonia games. Graces was the last Team Destiny game though, it definitely counts.
You guys shouldn't have high hopes for Tales Switch considering it should be out within 5 months (within the current financial year going until next April) in Japan and still hasn't been announced. It has to be a straight port of an older game, and Vesperia would be the best case of such (the possibility of 2D ports is nil imo). A new mothership entry will come much later.

Seeing the poll above, it's kinda sad that many games from "Team Destiny" never made it to the West. The Destiny remake, Destiny II and Tales of Rebirth. Now with the rise of digital distribution on consoles as well, I could see a translation and port to PS4 and PC to be somewhat profitable. Before you also had to consider the cost of printing and shipping discs, but you would think the equation looks a bit different in a digital wold. It just seems like a shame to let them be forgotten (no way to play them on modern consoles (or PC), even in Japan).
I have played basically every Tales game that has come to the west minus Eternia, Destiny ps1 and Phantasia. I tend to gravitate towards team Symphonia basically since I can't play any of team Destiny's games because I don't know Japanese, although I did like Graces quite a bit.
I personally couldn't get into Eternia. I don't know what it was. I played through the PS1 version a few years ago, and again on the PSP last year. Magic enemies felt super cheap and just made combat no fun for me. I will say, if anyone is going to play the game, don't get the PSP version; it's a glitchy mess. There are cut-scenes where the wrong voice-overs play, Efreet has a glitch where his sprite turns into a pattern of the PSP's battery icon, and I even had the game completely freeze a couple times.That's a shame. Destiny PS1 doesn't quite hold up these days and the GBA version of Phantasia has...problems, but Tales of Eternia is very much worth tracking down and experiencing. I love that damn game so much, and that includes its really questionable dub.
When it gets delayed beyond the current FY maybe.I think Switch's success make BN changed their plan and it won;t be a simple port anymore. Maybe more effort will be put in it or something.
Don't worry. Even with having played the original Destiny on PS1 the obsession with Leon seems overblown. Then the sequel and the remake (especially the DC) tried to reflect the obsession. ;)Never played the original Destiny on PS1 either so it annoys me that I may never understand the obsession with Leon lol.
