About

Tales of Symphonia is an updated re-release of Tales of Symphonia (GameCube).

It expands the original version with visual, audio, and gameplay additions. It introduces new animated scenes, more skits, extra win poses, altered graphical effects, and several cosmetic outfit titles obtained through new events. The soundtrack is slightly revised, including a different opening theme and updated battle voice lines. Gameplay is expanded with new titles, elemental move variations, additional Unison Attacks, new techniques, and a full set of hidden ougis for nearly every character. The PS2 version also fixes numerous bugs from the GameCube release, adds tougher boss behaviors, introduces new events and side stories, and includes a functional casino with new rewards. The Monster Collection grows with new enemies, the Forbidden Book dungeon is expanded and accessible earlier, and there are various mechanical adjustments such as faster Unison gauge filling.

The later ports, some called Tales of Symphonia: Remastered, are based on the PS2 version and only add higher definition graphics.
