"I got Tales of Symphonia yesterday..."

Really great game. I love RPGs, I haven't got far, got to the fire dungeon. I got a few questions about the battle system:

How do you switch the character who you are controlling?

What are status supplies? Apparently you can get them in towns.


How do you build up good combos? In the IGN review it says "Certain combinations of techs will result in powerful new moves -- which means that you're encourage to experiment with attacks (and there are a lot of combinations)"

Also, can you only do combos with the person you are controlling?

No spoilers please :)

If you want to play through all the side quests and the main game you're looking at 70-80 hours, when I completed all the side quests I was already up to level 87 with 4 of my characters.

That's weird..

Don't remember anything like that happening :S

yeah i remember that bit. it was on the leftside of the map right? however, i dont think it had any significance on the game. i didnt really think about it at the time but now i reckon there must be some significance. sorry i cant help =D

Huh?? I don't remember that happening at all!

I started playing this again the other day, and I have a query.



I'm in Ymir forest (look away if you haven't played this far), and I flew over to an island with a single boar, and that was it.

When fighting it, Colette started a spell of some sort, and when casted the name at the top was "????".

Then she went "Oops, sorry" because nothing happened, and her face came across the top half of the screen and she said "What the?".


Is this related to anything, because I'm really confused, and I can't find anything of Gamefaqs.

No way, if you wanted to get absolutely everything it's a lot more than 40 hours. I think my first play through was around 45-50 hours.

Was it just me, or did you ALWAYS choose Sheena for things like the dinner party, swimming costumes (:D) etc?

Needless to say she appeared at the end, but I won't say anymore as it'll spoil it. :)

Genius game.
