Why Does EVERYONE HATE Tales Of Symphonia Remastered?

Tales of Symphonia was one of the best GameCube games ever, but something went wrong with Tales of Symphonia Remastered for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.

Indeed I hated Baten K at first but after getting into the story I started to get pulled & then I was hooked on it & the music. Then I was forcing myself to learn the card system which took me a long time but still was not a master on it. Only the basic understanding of the card system I was able to pick up so I could see what lies further with the story of 1 & 2. So this time around I hope to understand it better & hope they put in Qol improvements to make it easier to play & give more time to learn the card system without dying that much lol.

It's pretty sad that I can boot up ToS via Dolphin on my Steam Deck at widescreen 800p60fps and get a better experience than a "modern HD port" that Namco expects people to pay full price for. For comparison, even if I did the same with Metroid Prime, I'd still choose the remastered version on switch for the graphical upgrades, qol features, and a greater ease of use getting motion controls to work. THAT'S what people want out of a modern port

[@jenscee7679]

Spot on, just said similar and I also am picking up physical Metroid at launch.

[@drewzi2044]

Still got the GameCube version. The PS2 versions also came with the gem mechanic fixed. You could just originally get all the moves no matter how you used the gems. It was supposed to be that you can only go down a certain path, and if you want to change the path you unlearned the skills. I am not paying that much for it, when I have the GameCube game and it has no real problems. This version just is not something I am willing to shell out that much for without some proper enticements. Metroid prime 1 makes me want to part with my money.

[@TheBloodyNights]

I remember enjoying Tales of Symphonia on the gamecube, even though I've only played it to completion once. I actually still have a physical copy of it. I'm a bit disappointed that they couldn't figure out a way to make the ps2 version 60fps like the original. Kind of sad, but I'll probably just stick to the gamecube version. But like you said if it's cheap I might pick it up down the line.

Man, I remember renting this game like 5 times from Blockbuster as a kid because I enjoyed it so much. My parents got me Dawn of the New World for the Wii a few years later, but I still never had the original. About 4 years ago, I found a complete in-box copy at a used game store for 20 bucks and instantly picked it up. Never got around to replaying it, so when I heard about the remaster, I was beyond excited. Bought it because I figured it had the potential to be a limited run game. Was going to play it after finishing Hogwarts Legacy, and then Prime remastered, but now...idk... I might just dust off my old Gamecube and replay what is to this day one of the games I'm most fond of.

[@aninymouse1651]

TBH you may as well play both versions, if you can stomach it. The GameCube version is superior in many ways, but this Switch/Playstation version does have a lot of extra costumes, skits, attacks for the characters, enemies, etc. only in that version. There's also a terrible glitch in the Switch version where some of the English dialog is cut out! So yeah, I'd recommend playing GameCube more, but the Switch version has exclusive content too.

[@ifrit1937]

I mean I personally wouldn't care if they just straight up ported the PS3/PC/GC version without making any changes (sides upscaling if they did the GC version as PS3/PC already got that done more or less) as that would help further with game preservation/bringing it to new audiences (like the many people that don't play PC/don't have a PS3/GC) however it should've been priced appropriately for a 20 year old game that already got a remaster when this remaster added almost nothing...it should've been $20 or a bit less and absolutely no more than $25. The ONLY justification for this $40 or even up to a $60 price point would've been if they added Dawn AND Phantasia Nakiri Dungeon X (best version of Phantasia on PSP with a lot of new content and of course localized it and KEPT all the skits this time (GBA, only official version of Phantasia, removed all optional skits from the game to make it wasier to translate)) so that we'd have all the games that occur in the Aselia world. Sides that the ONLY other way to justify a higher/standard price would've been if they went with a full on remake of the game (granted has it's own issues such as that would likely mean content would be removed such as some optional locations, enemies that don't have a model in any recent game, some minor side quests/storyline, etc and more likely than not they'd need to replace all the VAs due to either them being too high budget now that Namco won't want to use them OR they have either retired/passed away in the years since Symphonia first came out...and personally I never liked anyone's performance that voiced Lloyd after Scott Menville and I cannot see anyone but Cam Clarke playing Kratos tbh)...it also probably wouldn't take them a few more years to do something like this so they probably should've aimed for the 25th anniversary in 2028 to celebrate Symphonia again with such a remake (other main reason they likely chose Symphonia this year was cause it's the 20th anniversary for the game and Japanese fans/devs love to do stuff for 10 year anniversaries for whatever reason...while we do anniversaries too in the west it's generally the first 10 year and then the 25th and every 25th year after that we celebrate (i've never really seen anyone celebrate the 20th, 30th, 40th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th, etc for anything in the US in grand fashion...at best maybe birthdays (granted that's a yearly thing) but other occasions not really at all sides the first 10th/25th/every 25 years after the first 25th). The game's my favorite game of all time and I want to play it handheld however I'm gonna be waiting for a price drop to 20 or less before I pick it up (have too many other new games I also want to buy and not enough cash as I used to either).

I bought it on PS4 and I play it on my PS5 it runs very well and looks beautiful to me with fast loading times. I love this game and have it on GC and PS3 as well. It's my second favorite RPG of all time and I actually enjoy the remaster. The battle and everything looks fine to me, I'm not someone who cares a bunch about fps unless it looks like a PowerPoint presentation. I haven't reached Triet yet, so let's hope that the PS4 version is better in this regard also.

I only bought this game because Metroid Prime Remastered sold out everywhere but on Amazon where it was $89.99-$99.99. To be fair, every store in my city only had one copy of this game left in stock so it's selling out nearly as fast as Metroid Prime Remastered is.

[@KingofGames231]

Truly one of the best games of all time imo, i wana play this again as i loved the original but hopefully they can fix some of those issues asap

[@Dietghostscp2107]

Ok. As someone who got to play the GameCube version and remembers the variance in console versions back then. They're crazy.

Last time i played the game was the pc release in 2016 i was disapointed it ran at 30fps but i still played tru it i just downloaded a 60fps patch mod and it runs great its so weird bandai namco couldnt remaster the game to run at 60 fps especially since the HD version was released in 2014 PC 2016.

[@DingoOnMy40]

@@Ihatevideogames334 I'm sorry to hear that you don't enjoy the Tales of Symphonia game or the Tales series in general. It's understandable that not everyone likes the same type of game or game genre. Action RPGs and Role Playing Games can have a lot of complex mechanics and storylines that may not appeal to everyone. Regarding your dislike of Japanese Role Playing Games, it's worth noting that the gaming industry in Japan has a rich history of producing games with unique and innovative storytelling, gameplay mechanics, and character designs that have gained a loyal following around the world. That being said, everyone has different preferences, and it's okay to not enjoy a particular type of game or game developer. Lastly, Namco has been responsible for creating some of the most iconic and beloved games of all time, such as Pac-Man, Tekken, and Soul Calibur. However, not every game from a particular company will appeal to everyone, and that's perfectly fine. Ultimately, it's up to each individual to decide which games they enjoy playing.

Supposedly they lost the source code for the Gamecube version.

That 30fps is a big no for me I mean if the frame rate is still the same I can just play chronicles on PS3 with both games included...No way am I playing 30fps on a PS5.

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

In regards to the "Will they ever patch it?" debate, I just noticed they're finally getting around to patching last year's "Chrono Cross" remaster, so....maybe the "Tales of Symphonia" remaster will be playable a year from now?

[@reimihara21]

I wanted to buy this game since I enjoyed tales of vesperia on my switch. It’s so sad to see that this game has performance issues. I heard very good things about this game and it’s just disheartening to see that they didn’t optimize this game well for the Nintendo switch. I’ll consider buying it once the game is on sale and if they fix all the bugs in the game.

I have a buddy of mine that is having a hard time right now due to his lightning strike incident over a year ago. Not able to keep a job because of problems with being light headed and dizzy a lot and not being able to drive but not frequently enough for government assistance. He has a KZbin channel that has been his hobby for years off and on when he has had time. Now because of his situation he is trying to make KZbin his career. Is there anything you can do to help?

[@shanereynolds9618]

The worst is the dead silence from Bandai Namco...like if they would just acknowledge this problem and try to fix it!

[@flatcapman]

I noticed the game is running faster. Has the patch been released as yet? Namco has said apatch would be made

[@flatcapman]

I am playing and enjoying the game. I never had a game cube or PS3 so I am enjoying it for what it is. It is still a great game

[@bizzybee3021]

I really wish it had both games, and not just the one. Trying to play the 2nd one on the wii and the cost of new players buying it.

[@Xerosch]

Wait, I thought the game's not available until February, 24th. Did you guys get an early copy or is it already in stores in the US? I was hoping for a day 1 patch to at least iron out the slowdowns. This should not be happening on a Switch or PS4...

[@Darkmilo13]

I still love it and buying it

[@timothykirby4406]

Glad I still have it on GameCube

[@lennywright5655]

I was excited to play this because I’ve only played the remastered PS3 version, unfortunately, this appears to be literally the same game with portability added.😔
