Multiplayer

[[Lethalvriend]]

I don't know if any of you noticed but Symphonia doesn't list multiplayer/co-op/local co-op as Zestiria does. I wonder if it's currently undecided or simply an error. I do hope it will support multiplayer.

The actual sales pitch mentions four player multiplayer, so i'm assuming it supports four-player local multiplayer.

Better have 4 player local multiplayer.

I played the game on gamecube a few years ago, it does have local multiplayer

[Gamecrazy009]

My bet is it's local, i would love an online lobby tho.

I really hope this game will have online multiplayer so that I can play with friends who are are out of state. We will by this for nestalgia and to introduce one to this game/series because it is reeeallly fun.

Please, please, please have online multiplayer!

All Tales games support LOCAL Co-op multiplayer
I highly doubt they would make any changes to make it a online co-op game because I don't see it working very well especially for Symphonia or older games or newer ones.

I say this because the game consists of one player moving the party around the world(s) and interacting with NPC(s) and such once battle active only then is when others can join and fight controlling the now controllable players that are waiting on the party roster.

I mean it's possible if you're more of a watcher and would rather join in for combat only while sitting back an watching the main player play, but again highly doubt it will be online just don't see it working out.

I mean Tales of Eternia ONLINE was actually ONLINE

There was also Tales of VS

Basically what I'm saying is it's not impossible for like a side-option but for single player storyline and all that I don't see multiplayer working online.

We managed to get it to work in remote play, but it requires having 2 controllers plugged in. However, the 2 controllers can be set on one of the computers tho, and player 1 can use the keyboard which is always better.
