What an amazing demaster. 10/10 this is what demasters should aim to be.

[DREAMSQUZE]

Awww the screen shattering for a battle was so cool though

[oscarzxn]

Looks so dark, almost like a Wii U virtual console game

[nsbathome]

At this point, the game needs to be remade. Each version getting worse and worse is inexcusable for one of the series's most important games. At least the PS2 version added content, PS3 version had the second game albeit an inferior one, and the PC version can be modded into a somewhat better experience. This is atrocious.

They did not follow the method for how remasters work

I'm glad this is finally going bad, I'm really am. All the ports of TOS were awful, with the only exception, maybe, was the PS2 version that was excused for being a less powerful hardware. Steam is still stuck with 30fps. TOS deserved more than cash grabs.

There's remasters like Metroid Prime and then there's "remasters" like these.


I'm beginning to think the people porting these tales games just have no idea what they're doing.

[DarknessDpa]

I don't know if it's just me or how I look at games but aside from the loss of the cool transition into a fight, I don't really see much of a difference in anything and I watched this short like 7 times to see if I see anything

[zoozbuh]

Considering how much they’re charging for this “remaster”, this is absolutely gross and unacceptable 😢

[Terranigma]

The colors are also more "gloomy". It's a really bad remaster.

[comfyghost]

fading and transitions in the original may have been to hide loading screens, with a faster console and unnoticeable load times it only makes sense to remove them, it's like upping the resolution, it just makes sense.

…until you realise that the game was made with the expectations of fades and low resolution, so when you remove all that suddenly it looks like a pile of mistakes. this is why certain remasters and retro throw backs include a crt shader, they just look better that way.

TOS is one of my fav Tales, i couldn't bring myself to buy this De-master. Jesus christ look the difference with Metroid Prime....sigh I guess i will keep playing it on my GameCube.

[natoriousthehopeful]

You know what? I am seriously beginning to reconsider picking up this game.

[ToonPlays]

Dave did you finish the remaster of symphonia?
remaster? i thought you said re-release

[brandonscott]

Welcome to modern gaming unfinished rushed and full of micro transactions this is why I’ve gotten into retro stuff way more

[AltoRosei]

Anyone that try saying "the switch cant handle it" one f off with lowballing the switch. Its a GameCube game. Second Tale of Vesperia a 360 game run smooth and great on switch.
Are you really gonna say the GameCube was more demanding than the 360?
This just a broken remaster that they didn't care about

[arthuralvarez]

They just did a lazy port of the Steam version with zero optimization… When someone got the game to run on the Switch they said “Done!”, shipped it and called the day

[TommyDeonauthsArchives]

Between this and the regurgitated Llyod mii costume for Smash Ultimate... it's a bad day for Symphonia fans...

[ikwilgeenkanaalzeur]

The cartoony art style is much better on the old cube.

They catered to Lloyd's love for the color red, but they only fed the party gritty, cold instant grits, lol.
