wow- did anyone see the movies of this game in motion...
all i can say is wow- it looks great
the movies are all open free at ign and the characters look awesome as does the battle system
it looks like this could easily over take skies as the best gc rpg when it releases

I have only seen one of the IGN movies so far, but I am trying to get the rest.  

I am definately liking what I saw though.

Well, I don't know about THAT, but it looks like a very good game.

Is it reachable for free, or does one need to sign up to IGN's pay-services?

I haven't download any of the E3 clips yet (will soon), but I downloaded one of the older ones weeks ago, and really liked what I saw.

The cel-shading looks really good and smooth.  I'm really looking forward to this game.

Ah, yes. Watched two of them, if the quality of the videos was higher, I'd probably even notice the cel-shading...
Currently the battles seem pretty chaotic and uncontrollable. I hope they are easier to controll than it looks.

the tales series battles usually seem like they are hard at first to get good at
but it takes practice and you get better at them
i think that you control only one character and the rest of them are mapped to other buttons on the controller
it seems like the other tales games, but now its in a 3d environment
i have liked what i have seen thus far though

It reminds me way too much of skies, especially that guy with the two swords (Vyse?).

I like the style and the battles look great too. I wish they could of shown us some special attack, like Vyse's Rain of Swords (sweet!).

Tales is going be a great RPG. I love the Tales battle system. There are random battles....at least there were in Tales of Phantasia but the battles are not turned based. Its more like action game albiet more complex. So for all of you Cube owners that like Skies of Arcadia but didn't care for the turn based battle system you'll definately appreciate the battle system of Tales of Symphonia.

i think in this game the battles are not random anymore
i believe you see the enemies on screen and you run into them to start the battle up
yeah i love the tales battle system- reminds me more of an action rpg than a traditional turn-based rpg

I downloaded two of them and the battles looks fast and sweet.  I really liked it when Lloyd Irving jumped and somersault over the enemy.

And I hope Namco improves the load times.  If you don't know what I mean, take a look at the Exploring Snowy Town video clip.

yeah the loading seems to be a little slow for gc standards- about 2-3 seconds between parts
it isnt that bad compaired to ps2 rpgs but for the gc it is
the game is not fully completed yet so i bet they will tighten up the controls, graphics, and loading by then
