Marta is not a weak character... Play as her and use a mystic arte. It does a lot of damage plus heals your party.

I beat them pretty easily using 2player. It would have been pretty difficult to do by yourself.

Remember to take out Alice first, then Decus.

I really do like the skits this time. Sometimes they're quite enjoyable. Had to love when Tenebrae got angry because everyone called the monster "light-frog" instead of Nazdrovie. But in a skit, everyone is calling the monster Nazdrovie but this time Tenebrae wants the members to call it the light-frog xD.

I knew it would happen. The moment I started playing I was completely captivated by ToS: DotNW. I was a little iffy about Emil at first, but now he's really grown on me. Now that I'm close to the end, I can say that he comes across as a very well-rounded character. As for the game, aside from a few technical issues (lots of loading times), I have no regrets playing this game. It's not as epic as the original (as expected), but it's still a pleasant way to spend 20+ hours of gametime. And for a system currently lacking RPGs, this is a pretty good effort.

ToS doing better in the US than Japan wouldn't be surprising, considering that the Gamecube's Japanese installed was about 1/4th of what it was in America. That said, I have my suspicions about the numbers VGchartz gives for ToS.

The last credible figure I can find for Symphonia sales pegs it at 285k in America (circa early '05). Wikipedia mentions worldwide sales of 1.2 million, which encompasses both Japanese releases (390k-PS2 and 311k-GC), the above mentioned 285k US figure, and 184k for the European release. I have seen nothing to support the 500k VGchartz lists for the US version.

Source:
http://web.archive.org/web/20050308024118/http://www.the-magicbox.com/game20050215.shtml

Now, keep in mind that it took a little over five months for Symphonia to achieve that 285k figure in America. Also keep in mind that even Final Fantasy has never seen sales for a sequel outpace the "original" in the US.

You still expect me to believe this game isn't being overtracked?

@spaceworlder

The Tales Series is not that niche. Also remember that the original tales of symphonia sold extremely well on the gamecube, over 500k (outselling the Japan sales for the Gamecbue version). There is no reason to believe that these numbers are being overtracked.

@Soriku:

Somehow, I doubt that a game in a nich franchise in a niche genre can sell faster here than in Japan, where the franchise and genre aren't so niche. It's like asking me to believe that Japanese Resistance 2 sales are outpacing American ones.

Well it depends where you are after 4 hrs. It took me 2-3 hrs before I really started to love the game like I do now. And yes it gets a hell of a lot better as you progress. It's one of the few games where it actually is nothing but building until the final cutscene which is usually quite surprising in the game. No climax in the middle.

Damn, after playing the game with my bro for a while it became obvious to me this wouldn't sell nearly as well as the first. It seems like they put little effort into the game... honestly, it was painful trying to play it. I forced myself for ~4hrs until I (or we) couldn't take it anymore.

Does the game get any better later on? I lent it to a cousin, maybe I'll give it another chance later. Otherwise, it's definitely getting sold. It plays like a really, really bad, corny anime. I don't recall the first ToS being like this. It's too bad, because I really wanted to see what happened to the old characters...

That's what MS does haha. MS has done that ever since they've entered the gaming industry. Throwing around their money weight to be able to take losses in this industry but still stay afloat because of profits in the other areas. Thus they are able to compete with the major losses.

It's really not fair at all which I think its such sweet justice that PS2 beat them badly last generation and that Wii is beating them in this one. Makes me think there is some justice left in the world. Nothing against 360 just MS. I know its just business but its not the kind of business I like. No honor or respect for competition or themselves. I can be an idealist right.

Finished it last night, Emil on lvl 59, Marta on Lvl 57 and some monsters well into their 90's. 36:20 time spent. Used Emil, Marta, Raine and Genis for the final fight. =D

Easily one of the best games I've ever played. The story just keeps getting better all the way to the very last cutscene after the credits. It leaves you wanting more and more.

HOLY SHIT. Now 28 hrs through and on chapter 8. I got to tell ya this game just has me on the edge of my seat every step of the way. I think this is the last chapter so I'm going to spend a lot of time getting the powerful monsters and whatnot but geez.

This is easily one of the best stories I've played. Guess the Tales series is known for that. People need to buy this game so I get a 3rd one haha.

Yes lots of time spent into this game.

25k second week in America is actually pretty good. Next week it'll stay in that range to 40k because of Black Friday and hopefully stay at that for the rest of the year. Possibly over 250k by the end of the year in America. We'll see.

But yea I don't want htis game to end but I need it to. I am so into the story right now that it picks me up and drops me off all the time. Getting hard to play because I want to know what happens but I know I have another 20 hrs before I fully understand it.

@Kenology If it did 156k in Japan first week, it will do 100k in U.S first week. Actually I think it has a good chance of doing double or close to it what it did in Japan first week. ToS was more popular in the West than it was in Japan.

VGC had us thinking it had legs, giving it a shot at the first ToS's sales. Finding out it wasn't possible was a bit disappointing.

Besides that, the game did fine. 240k not just for a Tales game, but a Tales spinoff. I wanted this to be the first million selling JRPG though

Hmm showing consistent sales and not dying off. Interesting. Well seems it'll make it solidly to the holidays. Well done.

Looking about about around 300k by end of the year in Japan. No scheduled release date for PAL yet but doubtful if that area would be a big selling region anyways. However ToS has pretty large brand here in America considering the last one on GC was quite a hit considering. So I'd say it'll open to decent sales and really get those holiday boosts and hopefully be able to hang around to at least push it over 500k by Q1 2009. Hope for more haha. But in an unsaturated market of RPG's should have that many problems in America.

Yes I'm hoping it can hold onto that 10k a week as well. I mean we all knew it would have large dropoffs but we were still hoping that it could hold on. And it's quite possible considering very few Wii titles have held on. So far only the Wii series and Mario Kart Wii which leaves very few legs titles. Maybe this can be added to the bunch.

Well except that Microsoft pays Japanese companies huge sums of money and often funds development of their RPGs to get them on the 360.

Pure profit is unlikely to be beaten.

And you think that the console with the highest userbase in Japan will be dominant in a genre made solely in Japan, mostly for Japanese people?

Well, I can't say I disagree.

Whatever: Hmm, you must be so proud that this game is set to outsell Blue Dragon, especially considering that the Wii userbase in Japan is ten times that of the 360's (not to mention that the 360 userbase was even smaller when Blue Dragon launched) and that Blue Dragon is a new IP versus an established IP.

Claude: This is selling well for a spinoff, but plenty of spinoffs have sold high amounts and far greater amounts than this.

But then again, anyone who would have expected better must be an angry fanboy out to get the Wii. Besides, where would the outrage have been for other Tales games? Constant tracking of sales number is a fairly recent phenomenon, and even if people were closely tracking games back when the last Tales spinoff was launched (when was that, now?), it wouldn't matter because nothing except a computer could scan the entirety of the internet to search for bits of text from someone dissatisfied with the sales of a specific game.
