In my experience, if you mention Dawn of the New World, Symphonia fans will call it a travesty but people who didn't like Symphonia will call it flawed but interesting, both of which actually made me interested in seeing it for myself (but not enough to have to keep caring about the lore and setting of Symphonia).

The only word I have to go on is Majuular, who hated it. He's currently doing that excellent series on Ultima. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_RsT0ulsfI

Meowywitch posted:nice troll It's better. The story is bad for both, but at least Symphonia 2 plays better and has the pokemon aspect. Also Tenebrae constantly and rightfully dunking on these silly children. The only thing Symphonia has going for it is nostalgia.

Magilou is an annoying clown. I came around on her eventually once her story started coming out but there's a lot of game where she's just... an annoying clown.

tales of symphonia 2 was originally planned to be a like, '100 years later' type sequel where the only living characters from the original game would be the half-elves and kratos. this would have probably been much better

Realtalk: Tempest is the only Tales game where they do a whole racism thing and actually have you play as a member of the oppressed race (Arise doesn't count because it pivots to how everyone hates Renans).

Endorph posted:this video has like five minutes of him saying a kid who gets beaten is a pussy rear end bitch that he wants to beat up, who he hates, that deserves to get beaten, etc. so i think the maker of this video is an rear end in a top hat. majuular's good at breaking down what makes a game he likes work but he can kinda fall into the regular dumb gaming youtube guy views on stuff sometimes so i'm not surprised he does on a video for a game nobody likes that goes the predictable angle of not liking it and being an hour of dunks. his thief video has the most unfortunate opening six minutes i've seen in a while since he made it before the embracer blowup and was operating from the regular pov of "i cant believe square enix ruined this series" with none of the context of how everything that went wrong with the reboot just came down to eidos not being able to hold down an actual game director

Reminds me of being really, really disappointed when I got Dawn of the New World and found that they put a different song in for the English release. The JP version had been stuck in my head for a long time.

I only remember him saying he thought it was just a run of the mill JRPG based on what he had heard, which is why he didn't bother playing it for so long. Which doesn't seem very 'anti anime' to me.
