Why must I be cursed to be a symphonia fan.
Other Tales of Game fans must think
>"But anonymous, you have a sequel and a bunch of ports!"

EVERY
SINGLE
PORT
Has been worst than the last, and the sequel is dog water that recontextualizes and retroactively ruins the original.

At least the anime was okay, even if it's a massive abridging of the story.
