Nothing but an image of the main characters lol.

I like the way the chick looks. slutty

Wow, only two years? Seriously, how fast can a world plunge into danger right after it was saved?

But alas, can't wait for more.

What, you never watched Dragonball?

[quote=s0ul;636874]He clearly said coming. FUTURE TENSE, SPEEDY. ***! No wonder you're adopted. OH ****

He said coming out, present tense. Since he is referring to an event it is therefore past tense. Your word fu is weak.

****in' a. I might need to buy a Wii now.

Trailer. Looks like Lloyd and the protagonist have something against each other.

Huh, ToS characters in the TotA design style.

I'll be getting the game, if only because of the old cast and locations. That is, if it reaches the states.

Dropped the first one since I wasen't drawn into it.
ToS kinda made me stay away from the Tales of series so the same will probably go with this one.

Yeah, it's no Kingdom Hearts!

Nah, probably because he played Tales of Phantasia first. Raised his standards to a level that no game can reach.

I hope we get to battle against all the classic characters.

The battle system for ToS was/still is one of the best. It was more active than most. The main story line was fine, but what I really enjoyed were all the side stories. Mostly the character stories and what developed them.

Yeah, I started playing ToS and got bored pretty quickly. I didn't play it for very long, so maybe I should give it another chance.

It's not something you easily get involved with. It took me awhile to get into it too. You have to get through a couple twist and turns and actually develop an interest for what's going on and who you're spending your time with.

Maybe after I beat Zack and Wiki.

I'm loving how everybody is throwing Arc's love affair with Kingdom Hearts right into his face.

Can't help it. It's easy.

I was a KHtard with a Nintendrone name. :(
BUT YEAH, when I get done with Zack and Wiki I'll put in ToS to make myself finish.
If it picks up like everyone else said and if it leaves me with th a craving for more I'll probably pick up ToS 2.
if

I recognize that the Tales series are the superior games in the name of complexity and such, but Kingdom Hearts was just as fun for me. Nothings wrong with simplicity, and despite the Disney association adding to the "kiddy" appeal, it's honestly not really a bad game in any way.

Well, since ToS 2 is 3D, I think we can expect TotA's battle system to be implemented. After all, that's where the game really shined, so seeing it put to use in a game with a different cast and plot may be an improvement.

[quote=GAEMPLAY]The game will use Tales of the Abyss's Flex Range Linear Motion Battle System. The player will be able to capture, breed, and level up monsters to fight alongside Emil in battle.

The Field Map won't be returning in this game. Instead, a point-and-click system using the Wii Remote will be used to navigate the world. The map that displays the world itself will be the same as the Field Map in Tales of Phantasia, except that the towns will still use their Tales of Symphonia names.

[quote=STORY]Long ago, Sylvarant and Tethe'alla were united as a single world that drew strength from the Great Kharlan Tree. Divine intervention tore them apart, however, and the Tree withered and died. It was eventually left to a boy named Lloyd to restore the world to its true form. At his journey's end, a new Tree was planted to replace the old one and to hold the two worlds together. This was the story of the Journey of Regeneration.

Together once more, the world is now entering a new era. However, its people are still faced with many problems. After the lands became one, maps were rendered useless and the climate went through many vast changes: desert towns became frozen wastelands and lakes dried up into valleys. All of this stems from an overlooked factor in the unification of the worlds: the spirit of the old Kharlan Tree, Ratatosk, still exists somewhere, and its slumber has sent the world into chaos.

However, Ratatosk isn't the only problem: the people of the two worlds are starting to hate each other. The citizens of Tethe'alla look down upon the citizens of Sylvarant due to their inferior technology, and the citizens of Sylvarant fear the citizens of Tethe'alla because of their power. Two years have passed since the worlds were first merged, and the people of Sylvarant have created a vanguard with which to rise against the Church of Martel and the people of Tethe'alla.

One day, the Church of Martel went to war the vanguard, and Sylvarant's city of Palmacosta was caught in the crossfire. Countless innocent people died and Palmacosta was consumed in a terrible fire. This event came to be known as the "Purge of Flames", a bloody massacre led by Lloyd Irving of the Church of Martel.

tl;dr Lloyd ****ed things up

Wasn't Palmacosta destroyed in the first place?

They rebuilt. ONLY TO HAVE IT DESTROYED AGAIN! :cookie:

Tales of Symphonia, **** yeah. I have to say I don't understand how any of you didn't like this game, but then again, I've played it three mother****ing times.

So Lloyd's gone from saving the world to destroying cities of his homeworld? Alright then.

Does explain the last scene in a trailer I found, though.
