Bandai Namco Entertainment studio decided to revamp Tales of Symphonia due to the high esteem it enjoys among fans of the series. The first edition of the game was so popular that it lived to see adaptations in the form of manga, anime and novels.

Plot

Sylvarant is a fantastic world that is slowly coming to its end. The land is dying due to the loss of mana, which is the source of life and magic. Only the divine Chosen One can save it.

Lloyd Irving is the friend and companion of Colette Brunel, who is written to revive Sylvarant. The noble mission takes on a new meaning when the heroes learn of the existence of a parallel land called Tethe'alla. It turns out that saving one world, will condemn the other to extinction. Lloyd and Colette decide not to let either of them fall.

Game mechanics

In terms of gameplay and available options, Tales of Symphonia Remastered is based on the 2013 game Tales of Symphonia Chronicles. We explore the world map, visit new locations, manage a team and take part in battles. We fight battles in real time in separate arenas. We get rid of enemies using both standard attacks and a huge palette of spells. We can also use the special abilities of individual characters and combine them in combinations with other team members.

In addition to the single-player mode, local co-op is also available in the game. Up to four users can take part in joint play, with three of them limited to controlling characters only during clashes.

Technical aspects

The remastered edition features HD graphics, improved character models and locations richer in new details. Among the improvements are the ability to skip cinematic interludes, easier controls during sea voyages and much more.
