I played the original on Gamecube. Don't have the desire to play it again when I still have Xillia to beat. But maybe someday I'll play it again.

So for some strange reason if you are like me and really like the Tales series then whether you own the Game Cube version or not the remake of Tales of Symphonia is a must buy I absolutely love this rpg the puzzles are good but not hard the characters are alive and interesting and the graphics are beautiful.
So far im in at around 14 hours and have to say its a beautiful game and the battle system is extremely addicting and the characters really draw you in and make you care about your fellow mates who help you out. I really cant get over the graphics and how colorful and magic like the world is.
When Tales of Symphonia first launched on the Nintendo Gamecube nearly ten years ago, it arrived with a fair amount of fanfare, releasing on a system desperately in need of RPG titles. While not the first game in the long running JRPG franchise to arrive overseas, Tales of Symphonia is the title that put the Tales of series on the map for many RPG fans a decade ago. Symphonia is still in many regards the most successful title in the franchise, and holds a special place in the memories of the series’ fans today. The game was shortly after ported to PlayStation 2, although this release never saw daylight in the West.
The collectors edition is a very good collectors dream come true
Praised for its action battle system, Tales of Symphonia was a fast and fun RPG that players could sink more than 50 hours into, even with friends, due to local co-operative capability. The battle mechanics would become the backbone of the systems found in future games of the franchise. Several fondly remember the storyline and characters of the game as well. Symphonia was well enough liked, that it spawned a sequel several years later on Nintendo Wii – Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World – featuring an upgraded battle system and new characters. To celebrate the original title’s tenth anniversary, Bandai Namco decided to rerelease both titles as a collection on PlayStation 3 as Tales of Symphonia: Chronicles.
At any rate Tales of Symphonia is a must buy for any fan of the Tales series and if you can get the collectors edition it is sweet.
