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.)
