It's a nice touch if the English language actors annoy you, or if you'd just like to hear something different. They can be selected from the title screen and can be toggled back and forth at any time by accessing the in-game menu. One enhancement players may appreciate, though, is the addition of the original Japanese language tracks. Battles and adjoining environments still load only after pausing for the slight delay some players might remember from Wii and GameCube editions. The soundtrack and the spoken dialogue are also crisper, but there's nothing that feels like it might tax the PlayStation 3 hardware. These are sharper now, with fewer jagged edges and less haze, which makes blurry backdrops stand out more. Cinematic scenes are cleaned up, while only primary textures appear to have received the same consideration elsewhere. Tales of Symphonia Chronicles changes very little about its source material, to the point that even the anticipated visual enhancements are difficult to spot without a side-by-side comparison. There's plenty of content without needlessly complicated systems that might prevent newcomers from joining in on the fun. Fantasy tropes are supported by enjoyable Japanese role-playing game elements, borrowed by previous Tales games and from genre staples like Star Ocean, Dragon Quest and Shin Megami Tensei. Neither game was particularly innovative upon release, but that works out for the best. Dawn of the New World, however, allows players to ask monsters to join the team once they have been thoroughly trounced, a unique twist for the series. The two games are similar, sharing key mechanics like active battles and a lack of random encounters (enemies are visible and can be avoided). Before long, a run-in with some unusual strangers forces him to embark on an adventure of his own. The lead protagonist is a young lad named Emil who despises village hero Lloyd for seemingly justifiable reasons, though he's too timid to act on his hatred.
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, released on Wii in 2008, explores events that took place in the years after its predecessor's conclusion. He becomes a hero over the course of a globe-trotting quest with his friends. Originally released on the GameCube, Tales of Symphonia tells the story of a young daydreamer named Lloyd Irving.
Two classic RPGs have finally arrived on the PlayStation 3 as Tales of Symphonia Chronicles, allowing many players to experience two of the previous decade's most satisfying adventures, Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, for the first time.
