I’m gonna warn you all in advance, this weekend is going to be pretty light on content. I’m working my way through the last quarter or so of Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, and enjoying every second of it (even if, say, I gripe that a particular dungeon took WAY too long due to a lot of pointless backtracking). It’s also slightly worth mentioning that I’m taking on a personal little challenge with it, by not running from a single battle throughout the course of the game. Usually I avail myself of the “escape” function pretty liberally, which causes me to wind up sorely underleveled at about this point in a given game’s progression. I didn’t notice until about ten hours of playtime ago that I hadn’t run at all, and decided to just, well, run with it. Incidentally, this game proves that the Wii’s graphical power is just about fine, and that good and stylish character designs can be of far greater value than the number of polygons a machine can push.
Tomorrow we’re probably gonna have a Youtube post. If you really want content, there’s always Frangible Time, which is now getting to a “good part”.
