They were beautiful before and are even more so now. Most of the locations that were present in the first game are exactly the same as they were before just with improved graphics, which is fine by me. Then there is the simple joy of returning to that world. Add to that the revelation that someone from the previous game is apparently responsible for at least part of that suffering and you have a compelling mystery that drives half of the main plot forward. Not only is that a far more realistic depiction of what would happen after the events of the original but it links the two together in a way an entirely new crisis could not have done. The sequel shatters that by inviting us to explore a world whose people are suffering perhaps more than ever before. The first game ended in typical RPG fashion – with the assumption that the world was now at peace and everyone would live happily ever after. The first and most obvious positive is the premise. Having finally had the chance to play it after an agonisingly long wait, I can confirm that while it may not be everything that was hoped for, it is still a very good game. With that in mind, imagine my delight when Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World was announced – a sequel to one of my favourite games of all time.
