Tales of Symphonia (PlayStation 2)

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

NOW LOADING
While successful internationally, Tales of Symphonia's Japanese sales on the GameCube were not to Namco's satisfaction, and as such they ported it to the PlayStation 2 with various additions, like
NOW LOADING
new animated Gainax clips, various new minigames, costumes, expansions to the bonus dungeons, and additional Artes and Mystic Artes (also known as Hi-Ougi) for everyone and their mothers.
NOW LOADING
It was originally exclusive to Japan, much like the enhanced ports of Phantasia for the PSP and Vesperia for PS3, but eventually was released worldwide as part of

Tales of Symphonia Chronicles on the PlayStation 3 and ports for Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Unused Artes#

Voice Clips#

To do:
Still have to transcribe what's in the video. The article is very incomplete.

This page or section needs more audio.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough audio. Please fix this.
Specifically: Replace the youtube video with voice clip rips.

Watch on YouTubeMany, many unused battle cries for unused Artes can be found in the PS2 remake; was Namco planning to add content to the extent of PS3 Vesperia? Notably, most of Lloyd's unused move callouts reference the same space-time moves as Cless Alvein from Tales of Phantasia and other crossover titles, hinting that Lloyd was going to have a second Mystic Arte and a load of Cless references as well. "Maou Engekiha" (aka "Infernal Torrent") is a move used by Stahn Aileron from Tales of Destiny, though whether Lloyd's was a different take or not is unknown.
