I am very happy to say that Dawn of the New World’s soundtrack was beautifully done. One thing I like to point out about JRPGs is whether or not they have a good soundtrack. That being said, it still looks great and shouldn’t turn anyone off if they are sticklers about graphics. The HD version for this collection looks similar to how Tales of Graces f looked when it was released in 2012 for PlayStation 3 (which was also an HD version of a Wii game) however, it’s not quite as pretty. Graphically, Dawn of the New World was a little better than what you would expect from a 2008 Wii game. I’ll just say that Dawn of the New World’s story was much more exciting than I was made to believe, and it was much stronger than its predecessor. There are other secrets related to Ratatosk’s core, which I won’t spoil for you, that are as mysterious as why Lloyd destroyed a city. Ratatosk is the ruler of monsters, and the Vanguard hopes to acquire the core in order to regain their former glory and take over the world by controlling the monsters. The girl’s name is Marta and she is a former Vanguard member on the run trying to protect Ratatosk’s core (which has implanted itself in her forehead). The rest of the story is about the girl that Emil journeys with and her forehead yes, her forehead. It really kept me interested and made me continue playing so that I could figure it out. Why would the savior of the world do something like that? That’s a question that the game refrains from answering until about ¾ of the way through with the game. This plays a huge role in the rest of the plot because Emil is furious at Lloyd for destroying his city and killing his parents. What’s strange about this event is that it was led by the hero from Tales of Symphonia, Lloyd Irving. One of the only survivors is a boy named Emil Castagnier, who you will play as. The city of Palmacosta is caught in the middle and is wiped off the map in an event known as the Blood Purge. A war is taking place between the Church of Martel and the Vanguard. Dawn of the New World takes place a few years after the events of Tales of Symphonia. (Minor spoilers for Tales of Symphonia ahead)įirst of all, you don’t need to play the first game to understand what is going on in this one it fills you in on all of the details as you play. ![]() After three months I finally did, and boy was I surprised by what I found. I was very reluctant to play the sequel because of all of the bad things I’ve heard. The collection includes HD versions of both games. I really liked the first game when I had chance to review it earlier this year when it was re-released as part of the PlayStation 3 Tales of Symphonia Chronicles compilation. It is also widely regarded as the worst Tales game in the series by most fans, while its predecessor is regarded as one of the best. ![]() ![]() Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, the direct sequel to Tales of Symphonia, came out on Wii five years after its predecessor and was met with mediocre and average reviews. Sequels can be hit or miss most of the time, and when it comes to JRPG sequels there are often more misses than hits.
