This is a Master piece. I remember back then on 2006. I was a teenager, and tough about the japanese people being so lucky for living in their country where Symhonia was Amazing with all the mystic artes from the Main characters and the competitive Abyssion!
Hey! You did it right! :D You successfully mixed the game's SFX without drowning it with loud background music! I wish the other Exhibitions on CZcams could figure this out. This one's my new favorite. :)
I, even today, don't know why this game is so "special"... I remembrer when i was a kid, playing with my brother and my sister during hours.. Any game is as nostalgic in my mind as this one.. Tales of symphonia, in my hear, for ever.
Kratos can't die because the Cruxis crystal that he wears stops the bodies natural aging process, it actually stops his internal clock. That's why a Seraphim can't die from aging.
@boboanime123 Okay, people. Let me clarify this for you. The CG version of TOS only has Lloyd, Genis, and Collete's hi ougi. The PS2 version has the hi ougi for all of the characters. Hence, the reason why I feel limited with my GC version. Understand now?
lol your absolutely right. I loved the few tales games i've played so the odds are I'll end up enjoying both TOS games. Thanks for the speech I needed that. =)
It's special because it's one of the highlights in the Game Cube RPG library, which was really small to begin with. So it stands out quite a lot. Not to mention it had a good combat system and the cell-shaded graphics were great.
..... Abyssion scares me now... I never knew he could bust out half the party's specials! Falcon's Crest, Indignation Judgement, and the others I can't seem to remember... I'll never look at him like just a plain old "evil incarnate" again!
This is the PS2 port of Tales of Symphonia. They added many things, such as new Hi-Ougis for everyone who didn't have one before (except Shihna/Sheena, whose Summons were made into Hi-Ougis via a cut-in), of which this is an exhibition.
Oh, and the American version lacks a lot because Nintendo, not Namco, owned the rights to the publication of Tales of Symphonia AND its translation. Had Namco published the game and Hometek translated it, we would have seen a US PS2 release.
1:30- "Is this the path you have chosen? Then it shall end...in Crimson Devastation! ... for you shall never turn back time." At least, that's how I'd localize it.
1) Evil Eye (in the mines in the place where the bacura was smashed 2) Nebilim (He gives it to you) 3) Im not sure which one but its from a giant evil worm monster near Triet 4) Disaster (In Altamira at night, go to the casino and talk to someone at the bridge) 5) Gates of Hell (In Gnome's temple you find all of the Gnomelettes and go to a place which they're blocking until u do so) 6) Theres one In Latheneon Gorge 7) Theres one in the Goaracchia forest
It's probably Kratos' signature move. There's a "Tales of Fandom" or somethingrather game also by namco that suggests it, so he likely taught Mithos and Zelos the move. As for Abyssion, he probably only has it cause he's the extra boss.
I don't think that's the case. I've managed to get the lower quality version on this computer by simply refreshing the page. On another computer, I've never been able to view the better quality version.
Presea's Last one "Crimson Destruction" is very devastating. I like it though, it shows the destructive capability and true power of an axe. Thumbs up for Presea's last one! I also like shining bind and divine judgement.
@Skirus2 I'm not sure what he said before the indignation judgment, but I can do the romaji for indignation judgment. I think this is what he said before the indignation judgment "Chikara no chigai wo misete aru! indiguneito jajjimento!" Screw what the others said because I actually learned enough Japanese to know this.
Presea "Become dust! This is... the end! Hien Messhoujin! Time doesn't return, that is the providence of Nature Genis "Chikara no chigai wo misete yaru! Inzeiguneito Jyatsujimento!" Regal Nigasan! Ukete miyo, Garen Zesshuugeki! Kore de saigo da! Koukai suru ga ii..."
@Doomed100 Whatever weapon he has turns into the Flamberge for that Hi Ogi. Yes, it doesn't make any sense, since Lloyd has the Flamberge by the time you get Kratos back in your party. It's just Eye Candy.
AT least tales of chronicles lets us in the other countries re live this with all the hi out is and added content in tales of chronicles. And the option to play in English or Japanese makes me happy :)
Raine's first one was cool. Colette's was funny, lol. She was all confused. Man, I wish we had also gotten the PS2 version....I would've loved to have all these....
Final Fury is Regal's Tales of Symphonia 2 hi ougi. The one he does here isn't the same. You just have to watch a video in which Regal (ToS2) does his hi ougi in the japanese version. The name is "Satsugeki Boukoken" (Final Fury). The one in ToS PS2 version (this video) is Garen Zesshuugeki.
Yep XD. It'll also come packed with dual audio too. Though, this isn't the only Tales coming stateside next year. Tales of Xillia 2 as well. Which was confirmed via July's Japan Expo (France).
It appears to be an instrumental version of Starry Heavens by Day After Tomorrow, which is the opening song for the Japanese Gamecube version of the game.
@toamatanui101 a few of these are in the GC version. I believe Lloyd's Falcon's Crest, Genis' Indignation Judgment, and Collete's... well I don't remember what her's is called. But it was there.
@jokiu4 Actually, most of the bosses in the Game Cube version have Hi-Ougi too. If you fight a boss in Hard or Mania, they'll use a Hi-Ougi. I noticed this when I fought the final boss on Hard for the first time, and he used Indignation Judgement right after I used it at the start. Kvar, Magnius, Pronyma, and even Volt have been seen using theirs too :D They're just missing the anime cut-ins, however >_>'
@wwh92 also the european and american release of ToS2 had additional features like head accesories(europe only), skit library(europe only), motion controlled shortcuts(nobody ever uses them and the whole being able to load a complete save data from original ToS for a reward at the beggining of the game
That's Abyssion. You get to fight him in a sidequest for the Devil's Arms, which is, by far, the strongest items in the game. (It adds 1 attack power everytime you defeat an ememy, technically.)
@pikalink2 thats because Nintendo limited the gamecube to 1.6gb mini DVDs Tales of Symphonia is about 2.3gb thats about the same size as Kingdom Hearts which was a short game Kingdom Hearts 2 used up way more and this is without the extras that the Final Mix Disc had. Its just like Tales of Phantasia the original didn't have Mystic Artes but the PS1 added 2 for Cless and the PSP version added voices for all scenes(or most) This was just extra ideas thats all.
Note: After you beat him, each individual character's kills increases the stats of the devils arms, so they become the most powerful weapons in the game, even though when you equip them in the menu it says they have horrible stats.
This is the Japanese version of the game. If you know anything about Japanese, you know that they use Katakana to represent foreign words. From what I've learned, English words are often considered 'cooler' and so the game designers will use English words for spell/tech names (e.g. "Shining Bind"). However, the Japanese language only has certain consonant/vowel combinations, so Shining Bind becomes "Shainingu Baindo."
Hmm, it seems that occasionally when I watch this video I get a very good quality version; like I was actually watching the game on my television. Other times, it is lower quality with blurry parts. I've tried it on another computer, and I have never seen the good quality version. Has this happened to anyone else?
Why call it chronicles without a Mithos version of what he went through. Srsly though, Mithos, made pacts with all spirits, stopped wars with two different people, went through making those two crystals, learning how to wield a sword, the loss of his sister, the loss of his friends, the destruction of the world, the separation of the world into two. There is SO much story from the backstory alone, it should be a game already. Mana cannon anyone?
Some point in the game, before you make the pact with luna (because some of them are in the seals' dungeons), you go to flanoir and talk to a guy with blue hair standing near the church. Talk to him and he'll talk about nebilim and other stuff. Then you need to find all 9 of the devils arms (1 for each char) all over the world. I think these are the locations:
Raine's first Hi-ougi was supposed to be in the GC version (you can do it if you us a GS or a AR and they did voice it) but for unknown reasons and probably some stupid unknown reasons they took it out.
@megamegamanz Because Localization of games like these cost alot of money that gets wasted and Namco clearly didn't have enough on the game's US budget to include US voice overs for Skits. Its also why the updated PS2 version didn't release outside of japan. And if you thought this was unfair look at all the extras Tales of Graces F(PS3) has over the Wii version extra DLC Music,Costumes,Excel. Mode,and Future Arc So its all about money luckily Graces F is being released in the US
This is a Master piece. I remember back then on 2006. I was a teenager, and tough about the japanese people being so lucky for living in their country where Symhonia was Amazing with all the mystic artes from the Main characters and the competitive Abyssion!
Me too, I wanted the ps2 version so bad
I watched this video so mani times xD
うおおお懐かしい!
アップロードされた当時何回も繰り返し見てたの思い出しました
もう15年も前なのかぁ…
This is still hands down one of my favorite things on the internet!! ❤❤❤
i love the quadruple shining bind at the end
やっぱシンフォニアの秘奥義ってめちゃかっこいいよな
Hey! You did it right! :D You successfully mixed the game's SFX without drowning it with loud background music! I wish the other Exhibitions on CZcams could figure this out. This one's my new favorite. :)
I, even today, don't know why this game is so "special"...
I remembrer when i was a kid, playing with my brother and my sister during hours..
Any game is as nostalgic in my mind as this one..
Tales of symphonia, in my hear, for ever.
Nostalgia goodies.
the anime images looked so much better before the HD remakes.
Best Symphonia Hi-Ougi vid ever,love Presea's powerfull Hi Ougi and the end with all 4 Shining Binds was awesome.
Sencillamente sublime... y mas acompañado el video de esa musica
grandioso!!
man.. i need this version of this game
and i need ToS2
4 some reason i get the chills when i listen to the beginning of the song.
tales of symphonia is the best RPG I ever played
Kratos can't die because the Cruxis crystal that he wears stops the bodies natural aging process, it actually stops his internal clock.
That's why a Seraphim can't die from aging.
ending was cool with the split screen shining bind. That move is nostalgic. Its also cool in the new tales of vesperia
@boboanime123 Okay, people. Let me clarify this for you. The CG version of TOS only has Lloyd, Genis, and Collete's hi ougi. The PS2 version has the hi ougi for all of the characters. Hence, the reason why I feel limited with my GC version. Understand now?

For those who wonder what is the theme in the Background, it's a remix of "Starry Heavens" but in heroic version :D
..... Abyssion scares me now... I never knew he could bust out half the party's specials! Falcon's Crest, Indignation Judgement, and the others I can't seem to remember... I'll never look at him like just a plain old "evil incarnate" again!

Actually the US name is Sacred Shine. I know it was a beta tech in ToS, but Raine got it in Radiant Mythology.
@Skirus2 Indignation Judgement is in ToS for the Gamecube and so is Lloyd's and Collette's skills.
Oh, and the American version lacks a lot because Nintendo, not Namco, owned the rights to the publication of Tales of Symphonia AND its translation.
Had Namco published the game and Hometek translated it, we would have seen a US PS2 release.
i say great job doing the vid, i make a point towatch this and then go play a tales game every day, wow i need to rethink my life, anyways, thx
look at presea's damage with her crimson devestation move!!! over 2000000, AMAZING!!!
YES! I have been wanting a Tales of Symphonia prequel since I finished my first playthrough.
That was "Starry Heavens" by Day after Tomorrow. It's also the main Tales of Symphonia theme in Japan. Look it up.
I was 15 when this came out
Holy crap ur right. It turned into one of Lloyd's other weapons O.o
This video is a masterpiece.
He beats the shit out of one enemy while his one true love watches over him, protecting him while he fights, and giving him strength, its epic, no? :D
Cool video! It's hard to survive after taking one of these hi ougis xD
Epic shining binds at the end there
Anyone else notice that Kratos' sword changed when he used Shining Bind?
1:30- "Is this the path you have chosen? Then it shall end...in Crimson Devastation!
... for you shall never turn back time."
At least, that's how I'd localize it.
Haha, Lloyd gets a taste of his own attack.
Really awesome Shining Bind End. I love it.
1) Evil Eye (in the mines in the place where the bacura was smashed
2) Nebilim (He gives it to you)
3) Im not sure which one but its from a giant evil worm monster near Triet
4) Disaster (In Altamira at night, go to the casino and talk to someone at the bridge)
5) Gates of Hell (In Gnome's temple you find all of the Gnomelettes and go to a place which they're blocking until u do so)
6) Theres one In Latheneon Gorge
7) Theres one in the Goaracchia forest
I forgot to say: for lloyd you have to press A+B+X at the same time.
It's probably Kratos' signature move. There's a "Tales of Fandom" or somethingrather game also by namco that suggests it, so he likely taught Mithos and Zelos the move.
As for Abyssion, he probably only has it cause he's the extra boss.
GC ToS came out before PS2 JPN ToS came out.
I don't think that's the case. I've managed to get the lower quality version on this computer by simply refreshing the page. On another computer, I've never been able to view the better quality version.
Presea's Last one "Crimson Destruction" is very devastating. I like it though, it shows the destructive capability and true power of an axe. Thumbs up for Presea's last one!
I also like shining bind and divine judgement.
Because when Lloyd hits the ground he takes like 2k damage, but you can't die from it so it takes him down to 1 hp.
1:28: The damage. Dear sweet Jesus the damage level.
@Skirus2 I'm not sure what he said before the indignation judgment, but I can do the romaji for indignation judgment.
I think this is what he said before the indignation judgment
"Chikara no chigai wo misete aru! indiguneito jajjimento!"
Screw what the others said because I actually learned enough Japanese to know this.
Presea "Become dust! This is... the end! Hien Messhoujin! Time doesn't return, that is the providence of Nature
Genis "Chikara no chigai wo misete yaru! Inzeiguneito Jyatsujimento!"
Regal Nigasan! Ukete miyo, Garen Zesshuugeki! Kore de saigo da! Koukai suru ga ii..."
i plan on getting this soon, but that will be over summer break when i can work and not worry about school. But i so wish i had this, it so awesome :)
@Doomed100 Whatever weapon he has turns into the Flamberge for that Hi Ogi.
Yes, it doesn't make any sense, since Lloyd has the Flamberge by the time you get Kratos back in your party. It's just Eye Candy.
man presea's so damit strong with her hi-ougi and diabolo!
AT least tales of chronicles lets us in the other countries re live this with all the hi out is and added content in tales of chronicles. And the option to play in English or Japanese makes me happy :)
Glad to be of help.
Raine's first one was cool. Colette's was funny, lol. She was all confused.
Man, I wish we had also gotten the PS2 version....I would've loved to have all these....
Final Fury is Regal's Tales of Symphonia 2 hi ougi. The one he does here isn't the same.
You just have to watch a video in which Regal (ToS2) does his hi ougi in the japanese version. The name is "Satsugeki Boukoken" (Final Fury).
The one in ToS PS2 version (this video) is Garen Zesshuugeki.
Yep XD. It'll also come packed with dual audio too.
Though, this isn't the only Tales coming stateside next year. Tales of Xillia 2 as well. Which was confirmed via July's Japan Expo (France).
NICE!!! I like those hi-ougis and good job with the bg music I like Starry Heavens :)
Oh,it is? lol
Thanks,now I'ma go and find it,I remember that I liked the vocal version...
The background music playing during the movie is Starry Heavens ~hiroic version~.
It appears to be an instrumental version of Starry Heavens by Day After Tomorrow, which is the opening song for the Japanese Gamecube version of the game.
@toamatanui101 a few of these are in the GC version. I believe Lloyd's Falcon's Crest, Genis' Indignation Judgment, and Collete's... well I don't remember what her's is called. But it was there.

Kvar, Magnius, Pronyma, and even Volt have been seen using theirs too :D
They're just missing the anime cut-ins, however >_>'
I like every mystic artes on ps2 because I don't have it .... but I like your video
It's boku. I should've put a きえろう (not sure how to spell it) at the end though.
@wwh92 also the european and american release of ToS2 had additional features like head accesories(europe only), skit library(europe only), motion controlled shortcuts(nobody ever uses them and the whole being able to load a complete save data from original ToS for a reward at the beggining of the game
Nobody does a Hi-Ougi like Colette, that's for sure.
the first 3 hits of hien messhoujin are doing more dmg than any of the other hi ougis lols
That's Abyssion. You get to fight him in a sidequest for the Devil's Arms, which is, by far, the strongest items in the game. (It adds 1 attack power everytime you defeat an ememy, technically.)
i like the ending with kratos mithos zelos and aby using shining bind all at once but all together its a great vid
@pikalink2 thats because Nintendo limited the gamecube to 1.6gb mini DVDs Tales of Symphonia is about 2.3gb thats about the same size as Kingdom Hearts which was a short game Kingdom Hearts 2 used up way more and this is without the extras that the Final Mix Disc had.
Its just like Tales of Phantasia the original didn't have Mystic Artes but the PS1 added 2 for Cless and the PSP version added voices for all scenes(or most)
This was just extra ideas thats all.
Sweet video, and very cool remix of Starry Heavens.
@Sroid Oh no, GC can't use these moves.Unfortunately, these moves are exclusive to the PS2 version of TOS, which was never released in America. :(
Honestly Lloyd should have an original hi ougi like no one else can copy it since he's Lloyd :P
...Look at the title, Its a special attack exhibition...It's supposed to show it the whole time >_>
Dude, Presea is BEAST!
Note: After you beat him, each individual character's kills increases the stats of the devils arms, so they become the most powerful weapons in the game, even though when you equip them in the menu it says they have horrible stats.
Ikimasu, todome desu. Chiri to kashinasai! Kore de owari desu! Hien Messhoujin! Toki wa modoranai, sore ga shizen no setsuri.

Thank you a lot
@10zachhenninger Er... they are in the Gamecube version.
Not all half-elves are bad. There are good half-elves, just as there are bad humans and elves.
Kratos says shining bind
Zelos says shininga bindo
Why call it chronicles without a Mithos version of what he went through. Srsly though, Mithos, made pacts with all spirits, stopped wars with two different people, went through making those two crystals, learning how to wield a sword, the loss of his sister, the loss of his friends, the destruction of the world, the separation of the world into two. There is SO much story from the backstory alone, it should be a game already. Mana cannon anyone?
That would break his no using hands to kill rule.
I love Presea's High Ougi. ^_^
Very Destructive. The true power of the the axe.
This is wonderful ^_^ I'm so glad my friend has this game
@dariomodugno It had SOME of the hi-ougi. Only SOME. More precisely, only Lloyd, Genis, and Collete's hi ougi. Everyone else was dissed.
Mithos sounds the coolest!
You kill enemies. their true power is unlocked after you have collected all of them and talked to abyssion.
thxs man. just was asking. thought as much...bleh
I watch this almost every day! XD
Agreed, Shining Bind-o!!!!
The Ougis in this game look better than the ones in ToS2 (ToE) for some reason.
Oh greate!!!
I like shining bind!!!^^
the ending kicked ass
Some point in the game, before you make the pact with luna (because some of them are in the seals' dungeons), you go to flanoir and talk to a guy with blue hair standing near the church. Talk to him and he'll talk about nebilim and other stuff. Then you need to find all 9 of the devils arms (1 for each char) all over the world. I think these are the locations:
WOOOO
Raine's first Hi-ougi was supposed to be in the GC version (you can do it if you us a GS or a AR and they did voice it) but for unknown reasons and probably some stupid unknown reasons they took it out.
@megamegamanz Because Localization of games like these cost alot of money that gets wasted and Namco clearly didn't have enough on the game's US budget to include US voice overs for Skits.
Its also why the updated PS2 version didn't release outside of japan.
And if you thought this was unfair look at all the extras Tales of Graces F(PS3) has over the Wii version extra DLC Music,Costumes,Excel. Mode,and Future Arc
So its all about money luckily Graces F is being released in the US
And ToS PS2 was almost, if not, complete at the time of the North American release.
