Tales of Symphonia : Knight of Ratatosk coming to US

[gyozilla]

FREE LiMBS is not another one of their oh-so-witty puns, is it?
Also, isn't "Elemental Enhanced" kinda what ToA is?

I don't think Tales will get subtitle style text, unless the series takes a turn away from anime-esque. Textboxes fit this kinda style.

[Llewellyen]

Hi-ougis really are starting to look a little too cutscene-y. Which would be fine if there were as rare as ToS's, but...

You can't do anything but watch anyway, so why not?

the new textboxes look nice, though i'd still prefer subtitle-style text.

At least important cutscenes do it that way, I think it's fine.

@gogs
This one has subtitles, you can see it in the first trailer and I think some screens too.

[gyozilla]

I meant for most dialogue. Even ToD2 had subtitle scenes iirc. Seems they also think textboxes go well with these kinda art styles.

First video. OMG.

[Cless]

Battles look damn nice and fluid. Finally, a worthwhile spinoff/quasi-sequel in this series!

[LJkAze]

Indeed fluid and looks awesome for a spinoff, I dont know why but I have to sing this, bala baa baa baa I'm Loving it (McDonald theme) 

[Llewellyen]

O_O
That's...certainly not what I expected a few months ago.

Holy moley, they really amped this one up since Jump Festa..

[Cyllya]

Eh? Looks the same to me as it's always looked. You guys must have been filling in the gaps in info by imagining something bad, or something.

Anyway, looks nice. Interesting to see all the knocking things upward, flipping, etc going on in the battle system.

[Kevassa]

Damn I think that they will be adding idgnation as a hi ougi for genis "KOREDE SAIGO DA!" and that is uber hypness!!!!! :D:D:D and the Holy Judgment.. umm how can a mistake be cutscened? I wonder... they only showed the chant part "Mimo toniskairu koto iurusame hibike ensoude."
BTW
Tenshou souhazan - eternal sword= WTF?!?!

It's the first time I've seen it in motion... *shrug*

[pedrocasilva]

looks exactly as it ever has to me, and that's pretty bad and lazy for what it should look like.

No real improvements in the sense of shadows, textures, mouths are still textured, and I have to say from the video... they're still out of sync like they were last time we've seen a trailer (and shrugged it off back then as "they have time, they'll work on it". has no extra mile in it.

Some animations look good, but that's it, and the necks and characters like Zelos and Sheena really look wierd.

Nah nah, I actually played KoR when I visited Jump Festa last year in late December. The battle system then felt very much locked in Abyss then, but now it seems to have spawned its unique little flavour.

And also... is Sheena doing quasi seal?

[Kevassa]

And also... is Sheena doing quasi seal?

Yea she has no more summons, remember

[LJkAze]

There better be summon or I will get mad. Summons have disappear from Tales game for a long time, I am guessing since TOS. Hope when get Sheena once again fight and form a pack with the summons again, and since TOS2 is a monster catching and using in battle game, hope we can use the summon and power then up. When you get the summon in order for Sheena when summon has better damage you would have to train the summon to have different effects and evolution.
