Tales of Symphonia sequal coming to Wii

Yes!!!!!!!!! The latest IGN Wii-k in Review came out and it looks like they dropped the goods

From the lips of Matt Casamassina, direct quote:

So the Wii is getting a direct sequal to one of the best GCN RPG's.
However, it will apparently be using the same engine as the GCN game and it's not due until late 2008.

i heard that podcast... i thought he was just being sarcastic because everyone was making fun of Matt and Bozon for saying that they have "news" but not telling what the news is (due to embargos)... thus not really having news.c0mplex

QFT.

It was a joke people! As soon as I heard that podcast last night, I knew people would take this "news" seriously. :lol:

alright... atleast im not the only one who thinks that. :)

Good news!

But seeing another Tales of Symphonia on a Nintendo system along with another Crystal Chronicles game gives me some bad memories about another little system from Nintendo.

J/K...I enjoyed the first one. It was corny and did nothing new, but it was the best RPG on the Gamecube...I think it was the only RPG on the Cube that was worth playing. Well, at least it was a pretty good one.

I'd pick it up if I had a Wii. Wouldn't mind seeing what happens to these Symphonia characters. I'd play it just for that, even though I know what to expect.

requote... i dont want people thinking that there is an announced Tales game right now. (not saying that a sequel isn't possible, but Matt Casamassina definitely did not announce one being made).

Make sure to download the entire show here

I never completed TOS I was happily playing through it (apart from the horrid VA and the equally bad overworld) then I left it for a while, now when I go back I can't remember what I was suppossed to be doing and I can't be bothered walking across that horrid overworld trying to remember.

Could this be a Kid Icarus revival i've heard multiple people ask for?

Read the in-game synopsis. The synopsis saved my life when I started playing after a year-long break.

It ould be kid Icarus, but I'm thinking it may be another Pilotwings. It's been 11 years since the N64 version, and it seriously needs an update. Also, there have been several rumors leaked out of Gamestop who keeps listing the game as coming out this year on their webesite.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door was vastly superior and one of the best RPG's of last gen on any console......in myopinion.

Also, on a side note, as others have already said before....this was a joke. As of right now, there is no plans for a Tales of Symphonia 2.

I tried but the overworld is so fugged up, I can't tell from the map where I am, where I'm going, where the locations on the synopsis are. Sometimes you're running by yourself, sometimes on that dog creature. WTH? Give me a nice 2-D overhead for crapsake.

Have the map on and use the compass and light cone.

I have listened to the podcast and it's not certain either way if he's joking or not. Peer has been poking fun at Matt C for giving vague allusions to in-the-works titles several times now, so now Matt just blurted one out, in certain terms.We don't know if he was being serious or not, but it sounded more serious to me than not.

He was right about soul caliber legends.

I picked Tales up a little while ago when I bought a a bunch of GC titles to play on my Wii. I just got done playing over 6 hours of it straight which is the longest I've played a game in quite a while (especially a SP game). So far it's been a blast, I've logged about 36 hours into the game and have just switched to disk two. There is so much value in the game. I do hate the puzzles though.

Anyways, sounds like he was just joking, but it'd be great if it were true. Of course I haven't finished the game so I don't know how the story would lend itself to a sequel, but I'll kieep playing, and keep hoping.
