......2 for Wii.
YES! Let it be known that my favorite RPG in the last few years, Tales of Symphonia, is getting a sequel for the Nintendo Wii! Takes place 2 years after the first. You play as a unknown new character. The real name is Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk.
Namco Bandai had a Tales of conference today. That was the big one along with the new Tales of Innocence for the Nintendo DS. They state that the DS will be Tales of territory for future installments (like Square-Enix did with Dragon Quest)
For other news on the series, Tales of Rebirth, the Japan only PS2 installment, is hitting PSP's in Japan. Also, the PS2 remake of Tales of Destiny from the PS1 is getting a Director's Cut version.
Of course it's all Japan only for now, but expect Symphonia 2 and Innocence to at least hit here.

Thats good to hear, I never played the one on the gamecube (why didn't I? I was going to get it many times) and the Wii dosn't have any RPGs that I know of, so I hope this comes to the us...

So then, you say you play as a new character, but are the characters from the first Tales of Symphonia going to make a reappearance. It wouldn't be much of Symphonia without the other characters.

Not all of the characters are coming back. That is what the official website said, and I understand that from the way the first game ended.

So yeah, I just checked the most reliable website ever, Wikipedia, and here are the returning characters so far.
Lloyd, Collete, Genis, Raine, Zelos, Regal, Sheena, and Presea.
I highly doubt that Kratos is coming back based off of how his ending played out in the first game. But then again, you never really know how these games will play out.

So roughly everyone.... Really. I read an article of how it played. Basically it played a lot like the first with some waggle for the special attacks.
This idea of the sequel reeks of Disgaea 2. Star a new cast but leave the old ones as backups, enemies or cameos.

In the article they mentioned that they want to "bring the game stateside" by the Fall.  Looks like we may get to play this new game as well. All I can say really is that I'm excited. I can't wait to see more from the development. By the way, am I the only one that thinks Emil is really girly looking? I dunno, his outfit just makes him look gender confused. |

Its a JRPG, kinda have to expect that. Also check out the pic IGN used on their homepage and see who's on it (hint: Kratos)

That's not Kratos. That's Richter Abend. Don't know who he is? Neither do I... I just went to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_Symphonia:_Knight_of_Ratatosk my trusted website. I don't know if Kratos will return. I only got Kratos' ending in the first game, so I don't know what happened in any of the other seven endings. |

Ooh yeah a new update from Wikipedia. Japanese release: June 26th 2008 North American Release: September 2008. So at least a month has been designated, but I am expecting there to be delays. So don't get too excited that it's coming state side in five months. It is very likely to change. But other then that really no new information. There is a new picture of Alice, a very cute, yet evil character.  |

Nintendo Power #226 will have Symphonia 2 on the cover. It's (supposedly) the announcement of a US localization.  Of course it's not as artisitc as Symph 1's  |

huh? In that shot, Emil's eyes are red, however for the screenshot that is on Wikipedia, his eyes are green. D: Are Emil's eyes doing some funky mojo here or something? **Edit OK! I figured it out! It's actually pretty cool. Here's a quote from wikipedia. "Whenever he fights his eyes turn red and his personality changes into that of a cruel fighter, causing some to see him as a monster." Gawd, I can't wait for this game. It's going to be so cool!!  Though.... still no Kratos. |

OMGSGNLSKNGLZ I just found an AMAZING Website. It's in all Japanese, so all I see are a million question marks. However, they provide pictures of the characters. www.gpara.com/comingsoon/tos_wii/1228/05.phpThis website also shows a lot of screenshots. Like Colette still has her wings, and Zelos is still himself. There is a screenshot of Zelos trying to impress Marta, but she's like "lolwut, who is this guy?" And here is what I have to say.  RICHTER ABEND IS FREAKIN HOT! <: I think he's the new Kratos.  Richter wears glasses. I just noticed that in one of the screenshots. |

I'm pretty sure. He may come and leave the party.
In this game you can have a total of up to ten characters in your party, however only four of them can fight (as usual). So I would assume that Richter joins up with the party.

The release date has been pushed up by a week.
Originally it was projected to be released November 18th however both Gamestop and Wikipedia are saying that the game will be released November 11th, a week earlier. <3 Which is awesome news for me.
