I honestly don't hate the story of ts2. It's actually a really good story, but the original characters are different. Some don't even have all of their artes. Even though this game was pretty good, I still definitely prefer the first tales of symphonia. :)
I don't know I kind of like the effect for Tidal Wave, though it should've had a wider radius like it did in the first game. The beginning impact reminded me of Eternia's Spread and Destiny 2's Ancient Nova mixed together
didn't play it yet. but from a walkthrough, he must learn atlas n absolute. is it because s-type have less magic, most of the vids showing him with t-type?
No, the Technical/Strike system is not in the sequel. As far as I know, only 2 Strike spells survived: Prism Sword and Absolute. The animations are of course a bit different, though. You could also make the argument that Ice Needles is heavily based on Freeze Lancer, a mid-ranking Strike spell. Very old comment, so you probably knew already. I do not know who you are, but I hope this reply finds you well.
ME TOO! I thought I was the only one who liked those! Especially Spread, it was always my favorite :3 Me: Drown! SPREAD! Friend: IT WAS JUST A LADYBUG, WHY DID YOU WASTE THE TP?! Me: =3
They actually improved his skill list with this game! No more having to choose between Tidal Wave and Prism Sword! and Absolute! Oh and Blessed Drops? You are just spoiling me, even if the spells mostly looked better on Symphonia...
Omg thanks, I've been looking for ToS2 arte exhibitions...! Especially Genis. I wanted to see what the mages had it store. Btw, How come he doesn't have any incantations for the first few?
Is it me or do those Ogres look like Blanka from Strret Fighter. Also, "Maddening gay love the spirits of the Earth" XD I gotta admit I liked it better when he just said "Pankake time!"
@YeOldeHobo I was very disappointed. Not only with the new voice actors, but with the whole plotline. The graphics are a step up, but there's no more field and there is less substance. I wish they had stuck to the original characters as a main focus instead of introducing the new ones, which suck. I found the new game to have very little relevance to the first one.

the skills of magic sucks in tales of symphonia 2 D: in the firts are more awesome thunder blade 2 is like huy i down and shock us...thunder blade 1 omg !! *poooow!!!* and shock
What the hell?! They ruined all of his cool artes and turned everything just like in Abyss. Just when the hell has Genis known Turbulence, Icicle Rain, Splash, etc. I'm very disappointed.
![Tales of the Abyss: Guy Cecil [Arte Exhibition]](/img/n.gif)
0:55 "Mad and gay love, the furies of the Earth! Stalagmite!"
Maddening gala of the spirits of the earth
Really nice! Genis gets overlooked a lot, imo. He's definitely one of my favorite characters.
I Like the fact they kept the phrases Genis says before a spell
But it sounds way better in the first one!
"Gentle winds gather before and transform into waves of air". What the hell happen to that chant for Cyclone.
Genis, you forgot to say judgement at the end of your mystic arte.
I love Genis from Symphonia 1...
I totally agree
It’s seems like Genius and Jade have similar arts. Like when was Turbulence and Splash TOS arts
I honestly don't hate the story of ts2. It's actually a really good story, but the original characters are different. Some don't even have all of their artes. Even though this game was pretty good, I still definitely prefer the first tales of symphonia. :)
oh border of life; you never cease to amaze me.
the last of the main series which have spread is legendia right (not sure abt graces n innocence)? i'm gonna miss it too.
thanks for posting too
@sockpies Glad you like my choice of music lol.
ToS: INDIGNATION! *field explodes under the force of the mighty divine thunder*
ToS2: Indignation!1!1 *lousy thunder fart*
I miss *Pancake time! Stalagmite!*
I honestly like the ones Genis did in the first Tales of Symphonia
spam that gravity well! Thats how I did it back on GCN. Ah memories.
Genus' legs must be massive with all those squats he's doing :O
NOOO
may the mercilless embrace of ice take you, indignation :P lol at the last part too
I don't know I kind of like the effect for Tidal Wave, though it should've had a wider radius like it did in the first game. The beginning impact reminded me of Eternia's Spread and Destiny 2's Ancient Nova mixed together
2:20 my favorite incantation
I have no idea why genis makes bouncing a ball on a stick such a full body experience!!! lmao!!
didn't play it yet. but from a walkthrough, he must learn atlas n absolute.
is it because s-type have less magic, most of the vids showing him with t-type?
Same here.
They should have called Cylcone, Lil Twister or something like that, though.
is there one for Genis (arte exhibition) from the first Tales of Symphonia ?
@toonstrick32 its "O madening Gala of the spirits of the earth...STALAGMITE!
cool awesome cant wait to see more
u have any combos vid of this game
@GayLper...I love you! You took the words right out of my mouth.
So which version of Border of Life is this?
NVM, it's dBu
So now Genis is talking to dead people. That's just great.
Nice, good to see Genis can hold his own.
Though I still don't see the point of Indignation vs Indignation -.- Like Indignate Judgment was too hard to pull off or something xD
Genis:"ooh, it looks like the regular indignation didn't work. Lets use the better looking one!" (still prefer indignation judgement)
How can you control characters other than Emil and marta as P1?
At least Rita said actual incantations.
@ser4phkratos acceleration on fighter types
or photon photon photon with speed cast
man i wouldve used gienis alot more in this game if he had indignation judgement i dont get it why didnt they put indignation?
I call upon thee in the land of the dead to unleash thy fury of thuner!
They should have just remade the first ToS with these graphics and taken the time to put voices into the skits (using the original voice actors).
Did they not have the technical/strike system in this game? Because genus can't cast any of his strike spells...
No, the Technical/Strike system is not in the sequel. As far as I know, only 2 Strike spells survived: Prism Sword and Absolute. The animations are of course a bit different, though. You could also make the argument that Ice Needles is heavily based on Freeze Lancer, a mid-ranking Strike spell.
Very old comment, so you probably knew already. I do not know who you are, but I hope this reply finds you well.
How that could be so ugly. that is a disrespect for the first game.
Look at the fire balls , they look like cheeseballs we take at the apero :D
@Blitzballgott LOL
and that annoys me now, because gale is wind relevant - not so much earth. Gahhhh ahahhaha
OMG i SWEAR that Genis says "gay love" when casting stalagmite! Seriously, wtf?!?
It's maddening gala of the spirits of the earth
Where is Atlas , earth bite , spark wave , unique arte like that sniff :'(
I really miss Atlas too... I think it was my favorite Genis spell from ToS. Maybe tied with Prism Sword/Absolute? His Strike spells rocked.
whoa indignation uprage
i like his spells in the 1st one :/
because he actually says the spells.
in dawn its simplified a bit D:
@dbzisgreat I think Will and Shirley stole Genis's indignation and gave him theirs.... the evil bastards.
No Indignation Judgement?
Ironicly he has Indignation as normal spell and as mystic arte...
ME TOO! I thought I was the only one who liked those! Especially Spread, it was always my favorite :3
Me: Drown! SPREAD!
Friend: IT WAS JUST A LADYBUG, WHY DID YOU WASTE THE TP?!
Me: =3
Hahahahah BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!
Miss the old cast he has no emotion in his voice
They actually improved his skill list with this game! No more having to choose between Tidal Wave and Prism Sword! and Absolute!
Oh and Blessed Drops? You are just spoiling me, even if the spells mostly looked better on Symphonia...
absolut was cooler in the original. same with indignation. the spells just had more oomph
"United in gay love, the spirits of the world, stalagmite!"
Maddening gala of the spirits of the earth
@@dragosanders4234 you are so real for this
border of life=touhou=epicness
dont worry i'm sure u can find a way
why have 2 indignations in the game? AND BTW ANYONE NOTICE INDIGNATION DOES MORE DMG THAN MYSTIC ARTE INDIGNATION WTF?!?! O.o
BLAH BLAH BLAH! FTW
I hope for the tales of symphonia kronicles its different for this one. Cause they seriously messed up Genis. -.-
okay they really shouldn't have made tidal wave and cyclone like that.
Is that touhou music
@akewoo Im afraid it's true
Omg thanks, I've been looking for ToS2 arte exhibitions...! Especially Genis. I wanted to see what the mages had it store.
Btw, How come he doesn't have any incantations for the first few?
Speed cast where it shortens the casting time
Is it me or do those Ogres look like Blanka from Strret Fighter.
Also, "Maddening gay love the spirits of the Earth" XD
I gotta admit I liked it better when he just said "Pankake time!"
It's gala
The "Wanna charge?" just before Indignation as a normal arte ruins the real chant... T_T
Dammit.
does anyone else feel like they toned down the arte animation in this game? :(
some of these were better in the first one like tidal wave it hit the whole battle area.
so...there's indignation ... and INDIGNATION. ...how did they fuck up my favorite mages?
@YeOldeHobo I was very disappointed. Not only with the new voice actors, but with the whole plotline. The graphics are a step up, but there's no more field and there is less substance. I wish they had stuck to the original characters as a main focus instead of introducing the new ones, which suck. I found the new game to have very little relevance to the first one.
Well it about fits. XD
@genispotter nope
tos>tos2
lol 3:40 blah blah blah Tidal Wave xD ^^
blahblahblah TIDAL WAVE
80% of the incantations is just recycled from Jade in Abyss.
I can't even hear some of the chants!
Crimson fury burn -eruption
Maddening gala of the spirits of the earth-Stalagmite
-O violent torrent splash
-Howl o raging wind and cleave my enemy with your blade-Turbulence
O frigid blades pour forth -Icicle rain
Darken storms clouds loose thy blade and run mine enemies through -Thunder blade
O wielder of the flame reduce these evil souls to ashes -Explosion
Engulf these pathetic land based souls-Ground dasher
Arise o violent waters to route my enemies-Blessed drops
O flames of hell bring unto them the wrath of the lord of fire-Flare tornado
May the merciless embrace of frost take you -Absolute
From the land of the living I call upon thee of the land of the dead to unleash thy fury of Thunder-Indignation
Suffer within this oppressive force -Gravity well
I call upon the power of the holy blade -Prism sword
O countless falling stars come forth-Meteor storm
O magic surface form a torrential vortex and Engulf the evil spirits-Tidal wave
Benevolent wind that encircles eternal time gather before me and become a dividing blade-cyclone
incantations in this game weren't as good as others
how the hell did the manage to make this SHIT out of tales of symphonia!??!?!
looks like he got plenty of spells to use, since he borrowed sum from Jade
Oh, wow. That sucks. It looks like Genis has even less techs than in the original and they look worse too. =/
He has the same spell than Jade in Tota °-°
but i like him :p
I didn't like ToS2. It was too much of a letdown.
wow no artes what so ever
So indignation is a spell and his mystic arte...Just another reason why I hated this tales entry.
I am so ready to be attacked.
ToS 1 is overrated and I prefer the Xillias.
BOOM, BABY! COME AT ME.
*3 years ago*
Huh, Guess plan failed. Maybe you shouldn't have came off so obvious like that lol. But hey I respect your opinion. 🤗
I hate this game...they should let classics rest in peace...also Genis with TWO Indignations..WTF
I guess its supposed to be indignation judgment
Mini elf jade confirmed.
They butchered my favorite character from the first game = (
the skills of magic sucks in tales of symphonia 2 D: in the firts are more awesome
thunder blade 2 is like huy i down and shock us...thunder blade 1 omg !! *poooow!!!* and shock
What the hell?! They ruined all of his cool artes and turned everything just like in Abyss. Just when the hell has Genis known Turbulence, Icicle Rain, Splash, etc. I'm very disappointed.
Some of these artes are pathetic. Also I hate that arte called Turbulence.
This game sucks
Terrible voice, the original one was better
