I replayed Symphonia last year, and it was definitely still charming and fun, but I noticed its age in controls, camera, and a general story drag in some areas.
If you’re playing them backwards, does that mean you recently did Tales of the Abyss? That was one of my favorites for characters. I was thinking about replaying it after I get around to Arise.

Unfortunately have not been able to find that one on physical media when I could afford it, but I’m at the point where pirating the rest that I couldn’t get is fine since they were all bought used, as they would be now (I don’t buy digital games, as a rule) and the devs get $0 from me either way. Plus these are so old now…
I’d suggest doing fun playthroughs ‘together’ since you haven’t done arise and I haven’t done abyss, but idk how well that’d go over :)
Symphonia is definitely aged, yeah. That’s a kind way to phrase it. But so am I, so I can still apprecoate it for what it was meant to be. I remember the competition on ps1. Lara croft had triangle tits, it wasn’t a great time for character models.
