Lloyd experiences the most character development of any party member: at first an irresponsible and brash young man, he slowly transforms into a gentle idealist who wishes for peace in the world. He uses two single-edged swords, on the theory that having two swords doubles one's power, and is one of only two characters to possess no magical attacks. The player is able to control Lloyd for most of the game. Thanks to Dirk, his adopted father, he is a skilled craftsman.

He also has acute knowledge of Exspheres, a talent that comes in handy quite often over the course of the journey. While Lloyd is a bad student with a tendency to goof off, he is serious about protecting his friends and defending his ideals.

He accompanies Colette as one of her guardians on her Journey of Regeneration. He is friends with Colette Brunel and Genis Sage, of whom he is very protective. Orphaned as a child, he was adopted and raised by a dwarf, Dirk, just outside the village of Iselia. (ロイド・アーヴィング "Roido Āvingu" / Japanese voice actor: Katsuyuki Konishi / English voice actors: Scott Menville (Tales of Symphonia) and Brian Beacock (all other appearances) The Renegades are also considered antagonists for part of the game. The major antagonists include members of such organizations as Cruxis and the Desians. Some of these characters are beneficial to the party, while others openly oppose them. There are many non-player characters who supply a small role in the video game. One world is home to half of the party, while the other world is home to the remaining half. Throughout game's story, several characters strive to save the intertwined worlds of Sylvarant and Tethe'alla. There might be more to come but no official statement has been given.This article lists the characters in " Tales of Symphonia", a video game released on the Nintendo GameCube and Playstation 2 console systems. Note – It is a 4 episode OVA that covers the first half of the original game and ends after 4 eps. But maybe those people who love playing RPG games would love it. I am not particularly enthusiastic about this anime.

I would give it a 6/10 just cos it can entertain a person without making the audience exercise their brains. Overall, to summarize what this anime is about…Ģ-it gives the viewer the feeling that they are watching a game play outģ-the quality of the animation is not bad.Ĥ-there is suppose to be a mystery behind that worldĥ-it seems like an anime to watch if you are just looking for some fun to kill time. The 2 guys and the girl have a slight meeting with the enemies(the Tethe’allans) and it is there where you get to see the fighting skills of the 2 characters.Īnd so the journey of this group of people begins… He is super powered by a gem in his left hand called the exsphere and there is a mystery behind that gem. This was probably where i started to lose interest in the show. I have to say that watching his moves was like watching a person playing a street fighting game in the arcade where they have those combi moves. There is of course the guy (Lyold) who she is in love with that fights to protect her. (quite typical, but it is still pretty cool). I have to say that this knight(Sir Kratos) is cool with his funky medieval sword moves and his stylish clothing. Like most games where the lead is a female, she would be accompanied by her knights in shining armor. The first episode starts off with a interesting opening of just a few words on a black background and a narration by the main character about how that world is – ” In this world, there are lots of sad moments.” It sounds like a nice story that might present a slice of life. Naturally, she accepts the task and the story begins. It is really obvious that this story came from the game since the moment the Angel came to deliver the sacred message to the priestess. If you don’t like to play RPG Games, or watch anime that are so obviously adapted from games, then this might not be for you. She likes this guy and he lives in that world and that is probably one of the main reasons behind her accepting such a task.

It is only natural that the anime is like a game since it progressed from a Game Cube/PlayStation game to an anime.Īnyway, in this story, the priestess – Colette Brunel (i know, weird name), has to go on a journey to awaken spirits and become an angel and that will save the world that she is in. The main character has to complete a mission and to do that she has to go from one point to another etc. but it is not, it reminds me of an RPG game.
