I just realized recently that I hate writing introduction. One could call me
slow, because this is my 45th FAQ and all of my guides have intros in them,
but that's just the kind of person you're dealing with. Oh, you didn't know?
My name's Richard Beast. I'm going on 21 in a few months, and I'm from south
Michigan. That, and I have little better in my miserable life to do than write
guides, so might as well put it to good use. This being my latest offering.
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Which reminds me, four years ago or
so, I wrote a guide for the original as well. Oh, you're falling asleep? When I
talk about myself I fall asleep too, so I sympathize. Let's talk about this
game.
Well, I get extremely skeptical when there's a direct sequel to a game in a
non-continuous series like the Tales one. I think we all remember how Final
Fantasy X-2 went over (id est, fantastic game, awful sequel). This game,
however, wasn't disappointing. Now, granted, it's far from the longest game
in the Tales series. The two most popular ones from recent years, Symphonia and
Abyss, were 60 hours long, but you needn't expect anything like that from this
game. It's about 30 hours long, which I suppose is fair for a game of this one's
nature. But yeah, while it's nothing compared to the original, this game is
extremely decent, and has relative appeal no matter whether you've played the
original or not. So, yeah, when a game like this comes along, expect me to cash
in on it like the jackass I am. Or not. Whatever.

You are NOT permitted to put this FAQ on your site without my permission first.
All you have to do is email me or IM me saying you want this FAQ on your site,
then you can tell me your site and the chance is high that I'll let you. But if
you put this FAQ on your site without my permission I swear you will regret it.
If I let you, not ONE word should be changed from this FAQ! NOT ONE! Got it?
Good. Also, make sure that no money is involved. If you want this FAQ to be sold
on eBay, then just forget about it, man. And don't sell this guide either, or
pay people to use it, or you'll be in such big trouble you don't want to think.
Another little note is that I will not have this guide hosted on many other web
sites besides GameNotOver, GameFAQs, IGN, and Neoseeker. You need full-on
permission if it's not one of the four above sites. I am sick of people ripping
me off (I have been ripped off three times in the past), so if I don't like your
site, I won't let my guide be posted on it. I am sorry, but this is how it has
to be. If you ask politely and I like your site, you will definitely have the
luck of getting it up there. Thank you very much.

First of all, feel free to check out the stuff I've written on GameFAQs. Those
include a guide for Mega Man 5, a few other Mega Man games, and tons of random
PSX games. Honor to the PSX, yanno? Hopefully, that'll be added with awesome
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and Wild Arms guides. As you might be able to
guess, I'm a large RPG fan and writer.
Alright, enough shameless advertisement about me. You can e-mail me if there is
a question you wish to ask that hasn't been answered in the guide, but I REALLY
don't want to bother answering questions that have already been done, answered,
and done again in the guide, if it isn't too much trouble. Feel free to tell me
if there's something I've forgotten, however.

[at] and spaces with a "@" symbol and the [dot] and spaces with a period; I have
to write like that so I don't get a dozen spam bots e-mailing me and getting me
viruses. Just be polite in the e-mail, don't talk like "omg wtf rich ur gides r
