Is this game worth it¿

I finished Vesperia last night and got me wondering if this is worth the buy. I remember loving Symphonia when it came out in the gamecube era and since i never use my Wii it´d probably be good. What do you guys say¿

I say:

If you accept that it is essentially a spin-off sequel (and play it as a spin-off sequel), you'll enjoy it.

Basically, play it knowing it's not gonna be SUPER-UBER AMAZING. It's really a game for those who enjoyed the first Symphonia (it has a ton of references to the first game).

Again, it's not the best game in the world, and a lot of stuff could've (and should've) been altered/tweaked, but nevertheless I enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully you will too. :)

I'd say no. I played it knowing it was a spin-off, and still didn't enjoy it. They butchered the characters in my opinion, and the new characters are rather boring, aside from Tenebrae. Tenebrae almost makes it worth going through this game. Almost.

I LOVED ToS. And when I played the second one I was really not pleased. But it was still fun to see how the characters changed and how the world ended up. I'd say borrow it from a friend or rent it. It's not worth the cash.

I borrowed it from a friend, and I'm glad I did because I wasn't going to pay $40 for it. It might be a decent buy at $15 - $20 though.

Get it and support the series. It may not be that great of a game, but every copy sold helps.

I have no idea what is wrong with you guys.
Dawn of the new world is amazing.
The characters were actually worth caring for, the battle system was one of the best I've seen in the tales series, I found the graphics to be vibrant and smooth and the storyline was interesting if you look outside the first Symphonia. Though I'll admit,. things could have been added and that would have made it "better", but besides the point; I think you all are crazy for bad mouthing this game. Razz

I kind of enjoyed it... the old cast was a bit disappointing. >_> *voice actor complaints*

But i did like Emil and Marta. Its not the best in the series but it's not the worst.

The story sucked me in.. xD i dont regret buying it.

I can vouch that I liked the new characters AND seeing some of my old "buddies" from Symphonia develop. The new ones actually changed a lot from the early game to the late game (later Emil >>>> initial Emil). And they need to keep the writers of the skits in the game for future ones, seriously.

Not the most polished Tales game, but it was nice to play a game with better animation than Abyss. Razz

Playing Abyss afterwards was a graphical step down. Razz
