#Tales of symphonia chronicles voice actors upgrade#
The only real positive side is the upgrade to the visuals the Wii platform afforded the title, but overall, I would agree that Tales of Symphonia Chronicles exists on the merits of the first game and not its sequel. The new characters introduced in Symphonia 2 aren’t very interesting, and it feels as though they managed to take a lot of the spark out of even the returning original cast, with poorly written lines and a story that felt dull in comparison to the original. Symphonia 2 luckily doesn’t have this issue and can be enjoyed equally on either setting.īefore I continue on, I must address that Symphonia 2 was not exactly critically acclaimed on its release like its predecessor, for good reasons. Given the frequency and quality of these skits, I would actually recommend that everyone play Symphonia 1 in Japanese for the best experience possible. While that wouldn’t be such a big deal in most cases, the skits in Tales of Symphonia 1 are not voiced when set to English, while it’s fully voiced on the Japanese setting. Also, the games both include the option for Japanese or English voice acting, which can be switched at any time. The cast of characters are still just as charming and enjoyable to listen to banter on and on about this and that. Many titles have come and gone since then that have pushed the boundaries of storytelling and character development (thankfully), but I firmly believe that the original Tales of Symphonia was one of the first few that laid down the groundwork in terms of betraying expectations and introducing well executed twists to the all-familiar formula. The cast of the Symphonia saga are a varied bunch.Īlthough I could very easily give a synopsis of the two game’s storylines, I will simply say that they are of their time and while they are not bad by any stretch of the imagination, they aren’t anything particularly special either.
