Tales of Symphonia Chronicles: That fps

The second room seems to epitomize the downgrade of fps from the Japanese version, watch the holy bottle particles closely. The fps seems to have degraded to maybe 10 from 30 when changing rooms. There's also fps issues on the world map and when bosses use high level spells. However, this sort of lag is relatively rare, only experienced it ~1/10 times I've been in the room.

I didn't think the FPS would be this hard to get adjusted to but it's really bad in this re-release. The gamecube version is still the definitive version. (PC emulation really)

I bought ToS Chronicles, so excited that I'd get to re-experience one of my favorite RPG's again with new content and higher level graphics. I noticed almost immediately that things seemed... a BIT choppy (this is coming from someone who has played ToS a minimum of eight times in the past)... but it didn't really hit me until I entered my first battle in the game. Suddenly all the moves seemed slow and it felt like the buttons weren't responding to my requests very smoothly. Half of my combos seemed to disconnect and just... not happen, leaving me a sitting duck. I actually thought that something was wrong with my game system until I looked online and started reading about the FPS limitations.

Honestly, after watching this video, I have to wonder how people can claim they don't notice a difference or problem with it. I haven't even picked up the game since I tried that one time because it irked me so much. I still love the game and I'll probably go back to it after I finally finish Graces (which runs a lot smoother on the same game system for crying out loud) but yikes. Just YIKES. I appreciate a solid standard FPS the same as anyone but for a Symphonia veteran like me who has played the game so many times in the past that I have almost every dungeon and character interaction and sequence of events committed to memory, I easily noticed the difference between this and the Gamecube version.

I don't think I have encountered a lag in that room. Was that from the PS3 version? (I have finished playing the Steam version)

This happened to me a few days ago, I was confused as hell as I though my PS3 is giving me a sign to give it a rest.

this lag only happened for me in this room! and it was a pain >.<

Ive just done this section on the english(disc) release and the framerate drop was nowhere near as bad as this.

there was some minor choppiness but not horrible slowdown.

[ArikGenerick]

are there any fps drops during battle?

[Robbie_Haruna]

Unless somehow the framerate went to shit with the English release, the uploader is full of shit considering the World Map runs smoothly (and I've seen it run smoothly in the English version, ) and there is ZERO battle lag whatsoever.

[Mgalens]

wait so the english release has worse framerate than the japanese one?

how does something like that happen?

[MadWinter]

30 fps instead of 60 is perfectly fine for a game like tales of symphonia. It would be better to have 60, but at least the framerate is rock solid, exept this one and only room.
