Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World


Okay, I lied. I didn't post later that night. XD In my defense I had a really busy weekend. I still have to watch Vampire Knight Guilty 8. I keep falling slightly behind. Ugh.


Okay, update on the awesomeness that is ToS: DotNW. I am over 22 hours into the game, and things are beginning to come together a little bit. Questions are answered, more questions are asked.


So Emil's split personality was always more than Ratatosk mode. Anyone playing the game would realize that, but now it's come out that he looks exactly like someone whose name is Aster. During the game Emil keeps having 'waking dreams' of Richter killing him, and apparently this Aster was killed by Richter. So it's easy to connect the dots that Emil might be Aster. The question is, WHICH Emil? Or are they both just creations of his mind because of his amnesia?


The enemies in Tales games are always awesome. However they have reached a new level in this game. They are truly...some of the most amazing characters I have ever seen. Alice is a sadistic 18 year old girl who fights by commanding monsters and she carries a whip. She talks in a baby voice half the time, and nicknames all the girls she hates, and she nicknames all the guys she likes. One of her lines is "I just LOVE breaking cute little girls arms~," she is almost NIGHTMARE worthy. XD Then there's the true winner. Decus. (He got the screenshot spot!) Decus is madly in love with Alice, and would do almost anything for her. He also has a habit of buying mail-order items. He wears this cologne Eau de Seduction that smells HORRIBLE, but he hopes that it will cause Alice to fall for him. He also does these amazing poses while he's talking..he's just...like Zelo's x10 and devoted to one woman.


It was explained that Lloyd wasn't really the one who attacked Palmacosta. (I knew it) It was really Decus who has the ability to transform into other people. I really SHOULD hate Decus since he managed to kill Lloyd's reputation, but I really can't. My whole party is being killed and I'm sitting there laughing my ass off at his special attack. I love characters like that.


I still think Tenebrae knows a hell of a lot more than he's letting on. ESPECIALLY about the effects of Ratatosk's core on Marta. If the same thing that happens to people whose Exspheres were removed, but it was the only way to protect Ratatosk I'm pretty sure Tenebrae would keep it to himself. I don't WANT Tenebrae to be bad but it's almost impossible for him not to be.


I WANT MORE YUAN!! We saw him ONCE! THAT HAD TO MEAN SOMETHING! WE HAVE TO SEE HIM AGAIN. IT'S NECESSARY! XD Oh, and the summon spirits too. It annoys me that Sheena can't summon them in battle anymore. I want to see my favorites again!


I had more to say on this subject, but I started this at 11:50 and now it's 1:20 in the morning. I need sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow.


Only 1 week left of dog sitting.


Good night
