It introduces new animated scenes, more skits, extra win poses, altered graphical effects, and several cosmetic outfit titles obtained through new events.
The soundtrack is slightly revised, including a different opening theme and updated battle voice lines.
Gameplay is expanded with new titles, elemental move variations, additional Unison Attacks, new techniques, and a full set of hidden ougis for nearly every character.
The PS2 version also fixes numerous bugs from the GameCube release, adds tougher boss behaviors, introduces new events and side stories, and includes a functional casino with new rewards.
The Monster Collection grows with new enemies, the Forbidden Book dungeon is expanded and accessible earlier, and there are various mechanical adjustments such as faster Unison gauge filling.
The later ports, some called Tales of Symphonia: Remastered , are based on the PS2 version and only add higher definition graphics.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Tales of Symphonia [The Best] for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Tales of Symphonia [The Best] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically.
