Tales of Symphonia Chronicles is now available throughout the Americas according to Bandai Namco. With this compilation you will be able to journey through two role playing games that will allow you to experience the entirety of the Symphonia storyline with Tales of Symphonia and its sequel, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.

Follow Lloyd Irving as he embarks on a grand adventure with his friends to restore mana back to the world of Sylvarant, a source of energy necessary for the survival of their world. Along the way they learn of the parallel world of Tethe’alla, whose survival rests on the same source of mana Sylvarant needs to sustain life. How will Lloyd and his friends find a way to ensure the survival of both worlds? Tales of Symphonia takes the signature real-time battle system of the “Tales Of” role-playing games, allowing for direct control of the character through fast-paced tactical battles.

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World continues the story from the previous installment by delving into the consequences set into motion by Lloyd and his friends at the end of Tales of Symphonia. Take on the role of Emil Castagnier as he seeks to uncover the mysteries that have befallen his world. Dawn of the New World advances the series’ battle system by introducing a new monster recruitment feature that lets players capture more than 200 monsters and train them to participate in battles. Players have complete control over their roster of party members and monster allies, allowing for limitless combinations to take out to the battlefield.

Tales of Symphonia Chronicles also includes features that haven’t been seen in the Americas before including the original Japanese voice-overs, new 2D art during special Mystic Artes attacks, costumes and a casino-themed area for Tales of Symphonia.
