Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on this error I've been getting while playing Tales of Symphonia.

Well, in the fight with the boss Adulocia after defeating her and passing the victory screen, the game crashes, I have tried to improve the performance as much as possible as well as playing with the default settings, but the result is always the same.

I have not found another person who talks about this error, since it is precisely in that specific part that it happens (in my case). I tried to look for solutions in forums and videos but for the moment none of them have worked for me. I really want to play this game.

I understood that the game can be completed in Dolphin, so that's why this error is strange to me. I'm not an expert on emulators or configurations, but if there is any way to continue playing it would be a great help.

Just something I wanted to discuss as I noticed the game came out in early 2008 for the director’s cut edition as by then, the PS3 was already out in Japan, so I was wondering why the game was not made available on the system as it was only stuck on the PS2.

I've finished transcript in file Word all dialog tales of Symphonia. It contains dialog which Kratos reveal a sorrowful aspect of his past. I will share link of download. https://www.mediafire.com/file/6s3ipwomw6n1gfv/tales+of+symphonia+(Ripristinato+automaticamente)+(Ripristinato+automaticamente).docx/file

Ps5 hdmi port broke so it’s time to delve into non Pokémon Nintendo games

Which of the series is would y’all recommend for someone who hasn’t played since Symphonia on game cube,

I love games like Skyrim but will always have a spot in my heart for JRPGs

Edit: limited to Switch console

EDIT: Going with Symphonia to start, nostalgia bug hit me

So was looking through tales of translations and found out Tales of Phantasia has novels! Some of them are even on archive

I'm just wondering if there are any completed/being worked on translations for them? It seems most of the projects for the blog has promptly stopped so thats why im asking

How well is it running these days? I just over a bit over Recommended Specs, but the Port still needs to run well.

Bosses: So these have insane HP and Poise. So you have to "Stagger" them to do big damage?

Which iteration of Leia Rolando do you like better? The sweet, former Jude's girlfriend of Xillia 1 or the hardhitting journalist of Xillia 2?

I've been following these for a few years now. The site for Destiny 2 (and I think they're also doing their own Destiny Director's Cut?) last updated in April. The Twitter account for Rebirth last update from October 2024 notes that only 25% of the NPC text was remaining.

I know these are huge undertakings and being done for free by volunteers, so there's no expectation from me. I'm just wondering if they're still happening and if there's been any news?

Idk if we're getting a eng direct, but at least we're getting a JP one

There will be a 30th anniversary live stream on December 12.

So I think around a month or 2 ago, I asked about tales of arise here and the comments were absolutely polarizing. Some said it was amazing, others said it was the worst entry and it's a waste of time lol. So I decided to give it a shot.

I just finished Tales of Arise, and I honestly enjoyed it a lot. Not as much as I did for Berseria and Abyss, but I did enjoy it more than Eternia and Phantasia, granted those 2 are really early entries.

So my thoughts are:

Writing was really strong at the start, but did suffer at the second part.

Fishing mini game was really fun. I actually spent a lot of time fishing.

Combat was really fun imo, though some bosses did feel like damage sponges.

I appreciated how some skits were really serious and some were funny. Though obviously not as funny as Berseria's 2 man comedy show skits.

Hot Springs scenes were hilarious imo. Some walls are indeed unsurmountable

Overall, I appreciated the game and the story. It's not as bad as people said it was, and it's not as amazing as people said it was. It's a good middle ground, and I'd give it a solid 7-7.5/10.

I still think Abyss is the best entry, closely followed by Berseria.

I get it's not gonna be for everyone, and that's okay. But I did have fun with it, and I hope other people who are about to try it have fun with it as well.

Need a recommendation from Tales of veterans.

I need to know which games are on a level of Tales of Legendia or below. I mean if we rate all games.

More games you write in comment the better.

I have never beaten Phantasia back then because I didn't know how to find the Unicorn. Such a small accomplished but it feels great to have it of my back.

In the description of the sword there is a quote kinda like "cannot show it's true power without the belt"
Is there something more to it or is it just flavor text ?
I just got to the guild town so if it's something way down the line I don't want to miss it.

Yeah, I know I am asking something for a 12 year old game (technically 15, counting the original Wii Release), but still, with the Remaster around the corner, I just have to ask: Is it TECHNICALLY possible to get ANY kind of weapon, even starting gear, to max Stats?

I ask because some of the stronger weapons in Graces f, especially THE strongest ones, I don't like by design. For my first playthrough I just upgraded what I preferred design wise to a point that it was equal with the base Ultimate Weapon for Asbel.

And for the longest time, I thought it would be impossible to reach max stats with any weapon, especially starting gear, since they have such low base stats and can be upgraded a maximum of 99 times. However, after looking for something else entirely on GFAQ's, I came around to a 12 year old topic where someone asked if the game has fell/devil arms. Obviously, the answer was "no", but a specific comment caught my eye:

"To be honest, the weapon building system makes up for the lack of fell arms IMO. It's completely possible (with alot of time and money) to create weapons with max stats just like the fell arms. Best part is, you can build up ANY weapon to max stats, so if you think someone's ultimate weapon looks stupid, just use something else."

Sadly, no one else commented to that remark, which implies it might be true, but I still wonder: Is this actually TRUE!? Because IIRC, to get a weapon even remotely to max stats, most likely the utlimate weapon, you would have to perfectly upgrade your starting weapon to +99 with all the best boosting shards, then convert it into the ultimate weapon, which will then be reset to +0, while inheritig part of the already acquired stats. You then max that one to +99 as well and should get a weapon with almost max stats.

I can see that this MIGHT work with some other weapons that can be converted too, but there are plenty of weapons (like Asbels Devil's Crescent) that can't be created through conversion, so once it is +99, you can't convert it to upgrade it again.

Long Story short: Does ANYONE have ANY experience with this and can confirm that TECHNICALLY any weapon, even starting gear, can be upgraded to max stats through dualizing, even if it takes an eternity?

I myself can't check since I do not have a working PS3 and I have to wait for the remaster, but maybe someone here has actually done it and can tell me if it actually works? Thanks in advance =)

Here's my wants for the next mothership title when concerning combat only. This will go in no order at all, just the things that come to mind when thinking about how combat can be fun.

1. Two weapon types per character. The series has done this before with the likes of Vesperia so think about the diversity & fluidity of battle when doing it on much more advanced hardware.
2. Summoner character. It's been a while since we've had a party member of that play style. I would really like to know how well Bandai Namco could adapt this kind of play to this era of Tales. Plus, maybe they could add an array of optional spirits for the player to find for more content.
3. Conditions that affect certain artes. Imagine being in a specific field or dungeon that enhance element affinities like fire or light. Or maybe a field spell that strengthens arte elements. Something that shakes up the formula and offers even more ways to strategize. Give us something akin to that for the next game.
4. Mages/Healers that play like Rinwell or Shionne. Arise showed me what happens when you take the already unique way the series uses spell-casters and make it even better. Really hope the next title has spell-users like them but give them at least four elements to play with.
5. 4 perks for each character. So far Arise is the only game to have perks since Xillia in the End of LMBS Era. If they're going the six-character route (again), then there should be 4 perks for every character and some the player can swap during battle. Like the ability to speed up a party member at the cost of defense. Just throwing it out there.

This is all that comes to mind when thinking of what I want for combat during the next game. But what are your thoughts? Got any suggestions.

Am I going crazy or did all of the tales of animes disappear from Youtube? I know I had watched the first 5 or so episodes for Abyss on the Tales of official channel, and now I can only find is episode 1. Anyone else notice this?

I probably gonna show my age here, I still remember playing Tales of Symphonia on GameCube, I loved that game. Recently bought the Switch Oled, I was wondering besides the Vesperia, Symphonia, Grace's f coming out in January is there any other tales game for the Switch?

Hola, recién compre el Tales of Arise por steam y al momento de jugarlo me aparece el siguiente error el cual ya he buscado y nada que consigo solución:

https://preview.redd.it/qap6myz3444e1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99e66dc17283ac6ab37fbcb322b14908c8714e87

PSA - I'm banned from Reddit so my account will be deleted soon, but I don't care lol.

I randomly bought Vesperia on sale a few years ago. I'd heard of the Tales games before but never tried any of them or gave them a second thought. Even when I bought this one I didn't play it right away.

One day, when I was bored, I booted it up. I played for about an hour or less. Just until you get into your first battles. I didn't really like the combat and thought the art style was too kiddy for me so I turned it off thinking I'd never play it again.

A year later I tried again. Started from the beginning and made it a bit further. Made it to the first boss and beat him, but still just didn't get the combat really. I didn't even make it out of the town. My approach up until this point was to just run in head strong and try to overwhelm the enemy. That is not how you're supposed to do things.

Fast forward another year or so, I booted it up once more determined to make it further and see how the story unfolds and give it a real shot. I had never read anything online about this game, or any of the Tales games for that matter, besides that they were JRPGs and the fans tend to really like them.

This time I wanted to learn the combat system, see more of the story and give this game a real shot. See how things unfold and open up, and man, am I glad I did. This game has taken me by surprise. I made it past the first boss and out into the over world and have not looked back sense. Holy crap this game has it all! I love the combat and all the unlockables. Although being surrounded by too many enemies sucks, that's not something that happens all that often.

It's so much fun to get into battles. Changing characters and using their moves adds a lot of variety into the action. I've played with all the characters but one at this point and am looking forward to trying out the last character. Everyone is so unique!

The story and characters are interesting and each chapter and dialogue skit builds on the characters and world in a way I haven't experienced in many other games. At first I thought I would get tired of the random skits, but I actually look forward to each one and learning more about them and how they interact with each other.

I feel the pacing is really balanced as far as cutscenes and dialogues go. I don't think I've found myself impatient with how long the dialogue or cutscenes go on. I find that each one is appropriately timed and the time between listening and playing is respectful to the player and story.

I understand there's a ton of unlockables, and that's totally ok with me. I'm a bit of a completionist, but I've peaked at conversations about 100%-ing this game and know the areas that I want to complete fully. But 100% ain't happening.

I'm about 20 hours into the game and I really haven't played a game that's made me feel like I'm playing a game and reading an interactive book that I can put down and not feel that addictive pull to play it again. Every time I turn it off I feel like I'm closing a book. I feel satisfied and lifted.

The difficulty (besides that one boss. Yes, I beat him legitimately) is just enough. There's a lot at your disposal without making you godlike.

Anyway, I just wanted to hop on and celebrate this game with the community. Y'all have a new fan that joined the party in me! I've already bought Tales of Symphonia to play after this one. I've been hopping on here for advice from time to time and just thought I'd give y'all a short 'hello' and celebration before the Reddit overlords ban me again lol.

Although, I don't have a long window until my demise, I'll peak in the comments for any advice, recommendations or welcomes. Take care everyone and may the future of Tales be bright!

Bought these like dang decade ago, didn’t get the full set or rather did not release/make the full set. Don’t know why they never made Judith, Rapede or Carol for the full party.
