Rutee in Symphonia

Might be old news to the people who hacked the game and saw the data laying around in there.

It's still unsettling to hear Kratos' voice coming from Rutee.

Thanks for the nightmares.

That's certainly interesting.  I pretty much figured her character model was more than just a random character model that showed up in the Tales of Symphonia preorder art book.  Makes me really think that Rutee may have been another character in the Tales cameo battle but ended up getting cut from it.

But yeah, Rutee sounding like Kratos is just disturbing.

Maybe they originally intended to make the cameo battle 4 vs 4 (that would have made more sense, two ToE  charas and two ToD charas)

Huh... from the Tales games I've looked at, character data was always separate from enemy data. Ditto for non-battle NPCs.

I'm not entirely sure what happened here. But obviously, Rutee is dummied on the ToS disc, for something...

It's probably separate here too. It's not putting Rutee in the party; it's replacing Kratos's model with Rutee's. People have done it before with other characters (you can see Colette -> Swimsuit Sheena in this video too.) You could probably find some way to do something like that in the sprite-based games too (or at least the ones that have the sprites in one piece), though it might take more than AR codes.

And yeah, her model was already in there. It was in the US version artbook.
