Man this game sold more in NA than JP.
Boxart sells games.
Why haven't they released more of these on Nintendo consoles...

Both my first and favorite Tales game to date (though Vesperia is a pretty close second). Still mad that my first disc got scratched, so I'll have to buy a new copy if I ever want to replay it...

This game shows why Tales games should be released outside of Japan.

This isn't the only or first Tales to hit million. Thats Tales of Destiny, which sold 1.14m. This one didn't even hit 1m (without counting PS2), it sold 0.95m as of 11.12.2007 and I doubt it sold 50k after that date.

Not my favorite Tales game, but damn is it good. I'm glad it enjoyed great sales, but Namco needs to learn to advertise more. Abyss and Vesperia deserve sales similar to this.

Nice game. Graphics could have been better and the writing and dialogue was fairly iffy, but the game was generally very good, 'specially the VA, contrary to what most say. Kari Wahlgren does a pretty sexy Raine.

Definitely one of GameCube's finest RPGs. Great characters with well-suited voices (contrary to what some folks here say, I actually liked the voice work in this game), long, intriguing gameplay, and an epic and engrossing (if cliche) story. Excellent game all around.

I hated this game.. the characters felt cliche, the voice work was abysmal and the world map was lacking, it also felt more like a field trip than an adventure.

Many weeks after launch, Tales of Symphonia appears back in the charts. We go to the man behind the miracle:

Interviewer: Sir, how does it know to feel that you've single-handedly convinced thousands of people to buy this game?

Soriku: Very rewarding.

Interviewer: I'm sure it is!

One of the greatest games ever. Funny though, how some people think the storyline is boring while others (like me) are completely mesmerized by it. It might depend on how much you allow yourself to get immersed in it, and how many other RPGs you've played (in my case, zero apart from Paper Mario). Anyhow I think this is the best story I've ever seen in a game: complete, surprising, compelling and grandiose. The somewhat stiff and boring art style is a shame, but the intense combat, story, immense play length and terrific replay value more than make up for that.
I completed it 5 times. In a 40+ hour game (70 for my first playthrough), that is some sick replay value.

Very good game. Only issues: the graphics look "unfocussed" quite often. also, those storys you can start with the Z button take forever and you can only abort but not move them faster.

overall, i really like it though.

Though I do agree that this game is quite good, I can't help but think that the lack of RPGs in general on the GameCube helped fuel its sales more than a bit in the US. I mean, this is the only incarnation of a Tales game that's sold better in the US than in Japan! Tales of the Abyss is a better game (in my opinion, of course), and yet, it ended up doing far worse in the US because the PS2 has no lack of good RPGs whatsoever.
