In a dying world, legend has it that a Chosen One will one day rise from amongst the people and the land will be reborn. The line between good and evil blurs in this epic adventure where the fate of two interlocked worlds hangs in the balance.

The game that started my obsession with the Tales Of series. I have a hard time coming back to it due to the battle system being a bit jank at times, and the game sometimes being too long for its own good, but I recommend it as a starting point to anyone interested. Still a dang good game.
Good game but nowhere near the best entry. I def get why people love symphonia and it def earned its legacy but for me, its just a B tier game, everything this game has done later entries handled better(for the most part), like the combat was more fleshed out in abyss, the characters were more fleshed out in abyss, the music is good in the game but again way better in abyss. I do like the character designs in this game quite a bit(sheena, zelos and kratos are da goats).
Tales of Symphonia is a classic JRPG with a heart-wrenching story that explores themes of sacrifice and prejudice. The real-time combat system is engaging and dynamic, allowing you to string together flashy combos and customize your playstyle. Despite some dated visuals and occasional pacing issues, Tales of Symphonia offers a captivating cast of characters, a world ripe for exploration, and a memorable adventure that will stick with players long after the credits roll.
My first Tales games, and easily the one that I've replayed the most. I've probably beaten this game 10+ times, more than half of which I did basically every sidequest, and single-handedly introduced me to the action RPG genre. Even though Abyss and Vesperia improve upon it in a lot of ways, it still aged like fine wine and is worth playing. The story is great, the characters are likeable, the gameplay is tight, and the world is extremely memorable. I just wish the Tales studio would stop remaking this game, since it already has so many remakes and ports and either make new games, or remake literally any other game in the series.
