much prefer Berseria's story and characters but the combat system here is excellent. the narrative is mostly good, let down by a relatively weak antagonist. it chooses to explore its subject matter in more depth than one would expect of a jrpg but does stumble at times in doing so. the stumbling is a positive for me since it shows the writers cared enough to address the more nuanced aspects of the story even if they didnt completely get it perfect every time

While it hops back and forth, this is currently my favorite Tales of game. It's an amazing series for numerous reasons, but despite it being my first, Symphonia still sticks with me. The story is phenomenal, the characters are great, and the gameplay is still solid to this day even if its been outclassed. It's a game that really sticks with you after you finish it, it's no surprise that it's listed as the RPG to resonate with you by Namco.
