'''''Tales of Symphonia''''' is a 2003 video game, the fifth game in Namco's famous ''[[Tales (series)]]'', and the third to ever be released outside of Japan; [[No Export for You|first in Europe]]. It stands as the top selling game in the entire series, and the only one to break a million copies sold due to extensive worldwide sales.
 
''Tales of Symphonia'' is set in the land of Sylvarant, whose [[Life Energy]] ([[Mana]]) is being slowly drained away by the evil [[A Nazi by Any Other Name|Desians]]. The only way to stop the Desians is the Journey of World Regeneration, a pilgrimage around the world taken by a [[The Chosen One|Chosen One]] that, when completed, will awaken the goddess Martel and save the world.
Line 18:
''Symphonia'' introduced several concepts to the franchise, most notably the 3D incarnation of the ''Tales''' signature battle system; nearly every single ''Tales'' game that followed in its wake (as well as a number of [[JRPG|JRPGs]] in general) owes something to it, and its influence is still felt on the franchise to this day.
 
A spin-off-sequel for the game called ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'' (originally titled ''Knight of Ratatosk'' in Japan) was released for the [[Wii]] in 2008.

* [[Bonus Dungeon]]: Niflheim
* [[Bonus Material]]: In addition to the OVA's, there are 6 omakes/bonuses. They all have [[No Fourth Wall]] and are rather absurd.
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Inverted. Sheena is the most well-endowed, but she's not the strongest fighter. Colette, a self-confessed "[[Pettanko|Ironing Board]]", is physically stronger and can be a better fighter. But the girl that takes the cake is [[Token Mini-MoeLoli|Presea]], who can lift logs and wield [[An Axe to Grind|Axes]] and [[Drop the Hammer|Hammers]] larger than she is, despite [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|looking like a twelve-year-old girl]].
* [[Boomerang Bigot]]: The Pope is fiercely anti-half-elf even though he has a half-elf daughter. Though to be more accurate, he hates half-elves ''because'' his daughter is a half-elf; he used to support the cause of half-elf equality, and even fell in love with an elf. But when their daughter was born and her mother died, he found himself growing more hateful and terrified of her differences, coming to understand the perspective of the people who hated half-elves, and he started to support them instead.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]:
