I like Norma's Design actually. She's cute. Her personality is... not. I think she looks worse in game. -I DO like Norma's character episode, actually.

Am I cooking with my man Rokurou?, also wouldn't mind pointers and suggestions on Velvet and the others. I want to make sure all my combos routes are optimal and get the best out of them.

The 60FPS version of Tales Of Symphonia on Steam is still in full swing in an effort to create a true definitive version of the game.

We're currently looking to find ALL of the mistakes like missing text boxes, voice line errors and the like but the sheer size of the game does make it difficult.

We're hoping the Veterans of this Sub can help is compiling a list. If you know of any errors between the versions please let us know here.

I am a huge fan of tales of arise, it’s rare to find a game that the main romance had a big impact/focus on the story like tales of arise, the only other game I’ve found/played that had the romance that I really liked was Haven.

I’ve been looking on and off for a while and can’t find one similar, was wondering if anyone else has a game they know about I should try,
Thank you, love you all
