Coop/Multiplayer

[EternalFragment]

One of the most memorable things I have from tales, besides the awesomeness, was playing through with friends... even tho the only 'multiplayer' part of it, was the combat, I'd love to be able to play through with a friend, whether for nostalgia, or for showing someone new the game, and i can ride backseat while they play as a guiding combat arm.
I saw that Zestiria had multiplayer, so i was hoping multiplayer would be viable for ToS!


I'm wishful, i know :)

Multiplayer means a whole bunch of random players while co-op means about 4 people playing together so don't mix up those two Zestiria doesn't have multiplayer.

yea, thats why i was still confused from Zestiria... pretty sure they just mis-labeled it :P
But it does list the local coop... either way, i'd like to be able to play online coop with friends. Zestiria shows tags for coop, multiplayer, local coop, and ToS shows nothing--just single. I'll love the game either way, but like i said, i'm hopeful :D

Oh wow didn't noticed multiplayer tag I was wondering why you been so confused think I look on net more on subject.

EDIT: Well can't make heads of tales of it but only thing I found out is its more co-op then multiplayer but unless I actually check game out I won't know for sure I found some youtube video showing singleplayer and multiplayer camera comparison but thats about it here is the video I mentioned:

I remember the camera in Symphonia for gamecube being a real nightmare for co-op with no options to change or play with it. Was this fixed in the PS port, or will it be fixed for the PC?

Judging by the Logo, this will be based on the PS3 version of the game. The PS3 version, not only added the extra Mystic Arts for each character, but it also fixed the multiplayer Camera. The PS3 version has the same camera functoin as the one you see in Tale of the Abyss.

So it's safe to assume the Steam HD version of Tales of Symphonia will be based of the PS3 version.

either way, the multiplayer in Tales games is awesome. I love being able to fight the baddies in hard/insane mode with my buddies. As I'm sure we've all experience, but the AI can make some stupid moves from time to time. -.-

I loved the game when playing it with my brother together on the GameCube. That were times...
Yeah, the camera was very bad but a coop is nessecary!

I don't care what kind of co-op it gets, whether it be local or otherwise. NAMCO, I WILL WRITE YOU A CHECK WITH JUST MY NAME ON IT.

He's crazy enough, he'll do it. However. if i have to, i will also write out a check myself to send in with his. The multiplayer on this game is part of the reason we are friends, it'd be awesome to see it brought back.

If any coop, this game will get local coop like the real games. It shouldn't be hard to do.

That's all we want. We already pre-ordered the steam controllers, this would be the perfect thing to use them on.

I would have preferred online multiplayer. I know it's not realistic but dreaming is fine, right...?

True, but nothing beats playing a game with your friend while sitting right next to them.

Or while X miles away, but sharing the feeling of being in the same room.

My point is it's better when actually in the same room.
