Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New Features

Remember when Namco released a PS2 version of Tales of Symphonia in Japan and not in North America? If you were a big fan of the GameCube version, you may have been a little miffed that you didn’t have access to all of those tasty new special moves and titles and costumes and stuff. (I know I was.)

Well, it looks like the tables have turned, Japan! The North American version of Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World will include a few special features that are unique to the North American (and presumably European, if it ever gets a release date) version of the game. For instance, the Japanese version allowed players to map four different motion-activated special moves. The North American version allows up to eight. Also, you can use your clear data from the original Tales of Symphonia to unlock new features when starting a new game of the sequel, such as items and money.

Finally, a use for my 250+ hour save file! (I’m not even kidding.)

    Yeah, I think I have at least 150 hours on my save file. That’s a little less than 250, but still a lot. It was a great game!

    [...] Our PAL pals shouldn’t feel to bad about the wait, though. Namco is using this time to add even more new content. Specifically… hats. The PAL version will have exclusive head accessories not found in any [...]
