Tales of Symphonia/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • One of the funniest moments in the game involves Raine's cooking skills. In a small skit, the stone-faced, humorless stoic Kratos samples some of Raine's cooking to be polite. He even makes a gallant attempt at finding something nice to say about it ("Well, it has an interesting texture") before the aftertaste sets in and Kratos's first reaction is to use one of his healing spells on himself. It's funnier because it's Kratos.
      • In the OVA. Raine's cooking is literally used as a weapon to kill Kratos...
  • The coffee scene.
  • How the king of Tethe'alla happens to look like Jesus is this to some people.
  • How Raine reacts to ruins.
  • In one skit, Lloyd, Zelos and Sheena all attempt to handle Genis's weapon, a kendama. None of them can do it, and Genis calls them hopeless. In anger, Lloyd picks it up again and loses control of it, with the kendama flying smack into Raine's head. Ouch.
  • In one skit, Sheena talks about how the people from Mizuo have real names that mean something, and that they must be kept secret. Zelos pipes in and says "I know Sheena's true name!" Sheena questions to how he could do this, and Zelos says it means, "Violent demonic banshee".
  • Picking Raine to cook curry for the Gnomlette in the Earth Temple.

Genis: Oh I get it you're going to see if a Gnomlette can really taste or--
Raine: *hits Genis* And just what is that supposed to mean? I'd be happy to make it Lloyd.
