Well, as we all should know, the first episode of the 4-episode Tales of Symphonia OVA came out last week. Now, I really wouldn't recommend reading this until you watch it, but if you don't mind seeing what they changed, go ahead. Now, I watched it raw, and I know like no Japanese. I just went based off of my knowledge from playing the game like 7 times. Therefore, correct me if I'm wrong.
The Good
-An anime based on ToS! Squee! *shot*
-Good animation and character design. Colette is so cute~ *shot again*
-They didn't cram the first quarter of the game into 30 minutes... only like the first 4 hours. XD
-Raine throws chalk at Lloyd
-Kid Lloyd in a flashback. Not entirely cute for me, but that fangirls love it.
-Forcystus > you
The Bad
-Plot events were changed and/or placed out of order. (This was to be expected. It's four episodes long.)
-Kratos has like 3 lines in the entire half hour.
-The ending animation kind of weirds me out...
Plot Changes
-Colette is alone when she initially meets Remiel. When the Renegades attack with arrows, the priests take the hits and die.
-Raine allows Lloyd and Genis to come with her when the light shines from the temple
-They show up at the beginning of the battle with the Renegades. Kratos randomly comes in, says his three lines, and cuts down like four guys at the same time.
-Lloyd takes down the one remaining guy left over from Kratos with help from his all inspiring Exsphere.
-Forcystus doesn't attack Iselia because of Lloyd and Genis' encounter with Marble (she isn't in it). Instead, Forcystus comes looking for Lloyd because a spy watching the battle with the Renegades reports to him with news of Lloyd's Exsphere.
-Battle with Forcystus, Lloyd's Exsphere goes all nuts and strikes Forcystus down with a beam of light. Lloyd gets kicked out, blah blah. The end of episode one.
I found it kind of a relief that all of the trailers so far only have footage from that episode. That means there is still a chance of Tethe'alla being involved in episodes 3 or 4. So yeah, it was pretty good.
