Yeah, it should only be two or three parts when you look for it.

Anyway, yeah, I'm having problems adjusting to Kratos and Lloyd's Japanese voices. XD They're my favourite characters, so maybe that's why. But I absolutely adore Colette's voice in the Japanese. It's so much better and I'm liking her a lot more because of it, I think.

Yes, she gives much more feeling in japanese. Especially during the battles. Try playing both version for a battle each, with Colette! We barely hear her in english; in japanese we only hear her XD
I love her "yaa, hei", so cuuute =D
And Holy Judgement is adorable in jp ^^
I love Nana Mizuki, she's a great seiyuu, and good singer. And she's very cute.

Lloyd and Kratos are difficult to adapt to, because they're so different from their eng version.

I always find japanese dubbing better, no matter what version I've heard 1st XD
But I did have some difficulties getting used to japanese Lloyd and Kratos at the beginning, but now I adore them (especially Kratos).
But what I find funny, is that they speak so slowly in english, esp compared to the jp version, where they talk really fast.
Oh, and non voiced Zskits are so strange...
JP version wins =)

And the OVA is soooo great!! =D

Mithos > one ep is 30 mins, and it'll be cut...
personally, I prefer watching on Dailymotion, better quality ^^
Earlier I said that you would usually be used to the first voices. I guess I was wrong, I said that because my friends are always used to the first ones. I usually like the Japanese dubbing better myself.

Also, I was playing Destiny yesterday, and found out the characters' voices were kept in Japanese. I'm so happy!

I can usually adopt to a voice so I don't mind either of them (I just want my freakin Kratos..D8<) But it took me about three times to watch the special in order to get used to his Jap. voice because I heard the english one first. =(

It's not in English, and I don't think there are any plans to bring it to North America. I imported mine. And I'm still missing the last... two volumes? There are five, right? XD I only have up to three.

There are five volumes, plus an "Extra Load", with little stories (I love them!)
First one is about Kratos losing the locket and Lloyd picking it up, and the discussion that follows (that's during the Regeneration Journey part). My favourite.
Second is about Colette's 12 birthday. Sad and sweet. And so cute.
Third story is about Genis trying to find a present for Presea (that happens in Z-skits in the game).
The one after is the sidequest when Raine is sick and Genis and Mithos go find some medecine in th eFooji Mountain.
After that, it's about Zelos' childhood. I hate his mother, by the way. and Seles' one too. That's the most moving one T_T
And the last one is about baby Lloyd being found by Dirk after his mother's death. He's soooooo cute, but it's so sad how he wants his mommy and daddy and thinks they abandonned him T_T

Tell me if you want more details.

@Kila : I have the 6 volumes... now if I had a scanner...

Hey, I remember doing that for another forum, so I'm posting it here too!
That's the translation of a track in the Drama CD (for those who don't know about it, it's a kind of audio story. It's about Lloyd and Colette in their quest for Exspheres, and the other characters reminicing. That's a good way to know more about their past). So, being a big Kratos fan, I decided to translate his track (I had some help from a japanese friend who I later converted to ToS, eheh), and share it with other fans.
Here it is :

Note :
They keep going from present time to memory... I hope it's not too confusing.
Oh, and Kratos is on Derris Kharlan (remember, it's after the game), but apparently he can communicate with the new world, since he's talking with Yuan)
I had fun doing Anna during the fight XD
And I'm sorry if I made any mistakes etc...

Tales of Symphonia ~ A long time ago. CD 3 - track 5 : "To Protect"

Yuan : The wind is getting stronger. A storm is coming. Do you feel it, Kratos?
Kratos : Yes, I feel it, Yuan.
Yuan : Would you say it is blue and beautiful?
Kratos : Yes.
Yuan : I cannot think like that.
Kratos : Really?
Yuan : It is true that there is blue and beautiful things on this planet, but things that are black and unpleasant outnumber them.
Hate, pride, anger, foolishness, frivolous desires... They taint the sky, the wind, the earth, everything. These vices are the nature of human beings.
This is what I came to believe. Truth is, humans are still killing and fooling each other.
Kratos : Hey Yuan, have you never considered the contrary? The former purify the latter. Do you think you can believe that?
Yuan : You've changed, Kratos... You didn't say such things at that time.
Kratos : Yes... I guess you're right...
Yuan : Anna...
Kratos : Yes, Anna.

*music* - *background sound : rain*

Anna... The woman in who an Exsphere was implented at a Human Ranch. And also a woman who never lost her brightness and spirit. The only woman I have ever loved.

-groooo
Kratos : It can't be... Anna, is that you?
-grrrrrrr
Kratos : S-stop!!! *sword out*
~struggle : sword vs claws(?)~
Kratos : I can't... Anna, open your eyes! Anna!!

When the Desians took her Exsphere, Anna lost her human body along with her soul. I didn't know what to do.

-grrrrrrrrr!!
Kratos : Super Lightning Blade! ("Fuuraijinken" sounds better...)
-griiiooorrr
Kratos : No! Anna, I'm sorry! I...
-grrooooorrrrrr *attacks*
Kratos : Aaaaaaaaaaah *is sent flying (i think) and lands painfully; seems to drop his sword* Uuughhh

*backgroud sound : Lloyd, crying*

Through my fading counciousness, I vaguely heard a baby's cries.

Kratos : Lloyd...

*backgroud sound : Lloyd crying, Anna growling*

Anna was holding Lloyd, and was trying to throw him off the cliff.
Did I even have a choice? To kill the woman I love, or to just watch/let my beloved son die. But still, I had to make a choice.


*music stops*
Kratos : Goodbye. *kills her*

*flashback* - *background sound : Lloyd laughing happily*

Anna : Look, Kratos.
Kratos : I wonder what makes him look so happy...
Anna : I think... that he realizes it.
Kratos : Hm?
Anna : That this world is so blue, so beautiful, such a wonderful place...
Kratos : Blue...?
Anna : Beautiful.
Kratos : Really... Yes, you are right, Anna. This world is beautiful, just because you and Lloyd live in there. Here, I have a reason to go on.
Anna : Kratos.
Kratos : Yes.
Anna : Always together? Always... Always... Always...

From that very moment I killed the one I loved, the world, to me, was no longer blue, nor beautiful.

*background sound : water (rain or waves?), footsteps (Yuan)*

Yuan : So you were there after all, Kratos.
Kratos : Oh, Yuan. I saw you coming.
Yuan : I didn't expect less of you. *sword out* You seem to see everything.
Kratos : If you say so...
Yuan : Every being will become lifeless. This will be the result of Mithos' project of a "Thousand Year Kingdom". I don't care about what will happen to all those foolish humans. It might be the only way to seal humans' hatred.
Kratos : I don't care.
Yuan : However... this project means that Martel's soul will be tied forever to the Great Seed. She will continue to live in suffering. I cannot allow that.
Help me, Kratos. Release Origin's seal. Doing that will allow us to help Martel's soul, make the Giant Tree grow, and revive this planet. Am I wrong?
Or... do you think that Mithos is right?
Kratos : Who knows...
Yuan : I don't plan on saying I am right. But, since we cannot have anything perfect, we should at least try to gain the best out of it. Think about it. Kratos!!
Kratos : I don't care! I don't have anything to protect in this world anymore. To me, now, everything has lost its colours and brightness.
Yuan : Kratos!
Kratos : Nothing matters anymore. Nothing at all. I don't care. I don't care anymore.
Yuan : *sheats sword* There is no worth in killing you now. *leaves* Kratos, you are... already dead.

*back to the present*

Yuan : "Everything has lost its colours and brightness." You said that at that time. And now, you are telling me the contrary.
And I can see that you are now more lively than at that time. That boy who changed you, Lloyd, is he really all you needed? (~was he all it took you to change...)
Kratos : Hhm... maybe that's just how parents are... How's that? You are on the same planet. Could you practice with him at least once? (>>basically, he's telling him to keep an eye on Lloyd for him... how about doing it yourself, Kratos? :D)
Yuan : You seem to have become lazy. (or something like that... there's no way to find an exact translation for that one...)
Kratos : Haha.
Yuan : Hahaha.
Both : Hahahahahaha.

Fin.

I'd like to join!

I was playing Tales of Symphonia having a grand ol' time. I was about to get to the Final Boss battle when... our Gamecube died. I was very upset. By the time it got fixed, I had moved onto other games, and I still haven't beat it. Didn't get very far into Abyss as I bought it right before I left for college. I did bring it with me, but I barely have time to play.

My favorite characters are Presea and Zelos. <3

I watched the Symphonia OVA yesterday, the fight between Kratos and Sheena was pretty cool, even though I expected it to be longer. I'm surprised they got so far in the story in just one episode, but it's only gonna be four episodes long, right? So I guess it does make sense.

Q1 - What is your current play time? If you don't have your GC/PS2 near you now, you can answer to it later:
Altogether, probably about 250 hours. My Gamecube is about 3 hours away, though, so I can't check. D: I haven't started the PS2 version yet either.

Q2 - What is your max gald? same as above.
Eheh... no idea. I never paid attention to glad anyway.

Q3 - What is the character you play the most with?
Kratos, no questions asked. When he's not there, either Zelos or Lloyd.

Q4a - Who is your favourite character in the party?
Kratos.

Q4b - Who is your favourite character among the npc?
Hmm... no one really stands out for me, to be honest. Maybe Noishe. 8D;;

Q5 - You [love - rather like - are okay with - don't like - hate] Colette ?
I hated Colette through the game, but she's really growing on me through the OVA. ._.;

Q6 - Have you beaten Abyssion? If so, in what mode?
Either hard or normal. I forget which.

Q7 - Who do you think is the strongest Desian Cardinal?
Uh... I'm not sure. :\ I guess I'll go with Pronyma.

Q8 - Who is your most unfavorite character?
...Colette. ._.; Or maybe Marble.

Q9 - What was your favorite summon spirit?
Hmm... I always thought Origin was pretty cool. XD;

Q10 - Who do you think is Lloyd's soulmate?
Kratos for all of my playthroughs, but in all honesty, I think to some extent, everyone was. :x
