Hey guys, just a quickie update to let you all know I
haven't forgotten about you all.
First of all, I hope you all had a Happy
Thanksgiving. Here's wishing you all survived Black Friday and your
computers survived Cyber Monday.
Second, I have finished Tales of Symphonia:
Dawn of the New World for the Wii and, yes, Sheloyd prevails. Then
again, its a spin-off, so nothing could really be considered canon.
I'll go more into detail when I post my review of the game. The
first part of my Sheloyd Rant Trilogy will be in an update I'll have
posted on Monday.
Third, I've added the link to the CCA forums to the
left navigation bar. If you want to know where I usually hang out
when I'm not at the Mizuho boards, check it out.
Fourth, I thought I'd let you know what all will be
in the next update. Updates to the Lloyd, Sheena, Sheloyd, Sango,
and Tifa galleries, the first of my rants in the revived section, and
three pages to Sango vs. Tales of Symphonia. All of this is in
post-production, so to speak, so hopefully you'll like what there is to
come. Oh yeah, I may update the gallery style to be more
viewer-friendly, but I may not too. No promises in that regard.
Well, that'll do it. Oh, long story short on
Dawn of the New World. If you're a die-hard fan of the original
Tales of Symphonia and expecting a sequel true to the original, you're
going to be disapointed. It's a spin-off, not a sequel, and the
production shows. But if you're a fan of any level looking for a fun
RPG experience on the Wii, definitely check it out. A solid 8.8,
maybe 9 if you give it a curve based on Bandai's meddling, lack of focus
on the original characters, and have no attachment to the old voice actors
or battle system. On the upside, the music was given a pretty cool
upgrade... but why am I telling you this right now? Wait for my
review! ^_^
