Tales of Symphonia is an action role-playing video game developed by Namco Tales Studio and published by Namco. Originally released for the GameCube in 2003, it has since been ported to various platforms, including PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Steam, and most recently, a remastered version for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 17, 2023.
Set in the fictional world of Sylvarant, the game follows Lloyd Irving and his childhood friend, Colette Brunel, on a journey to save their world. Despite mixed reactions to the music and narrative and some criticism of graphical shortcomings, the game has become the best-selling title in the franchise, with 2.4 million copies sold worldwide.
The game’s success has led to various adaptations, including manga collections, novel series, drama CDs, and an OVA anime series. A sequel, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, was released for the Wii in 2008, and the game has seen multiple re-releases and remastered editions.
