  • love the theme.!... I miss playing this game. :(

  • Ohh yeah...I had such a crush on Kratos.. lol

  • hey any one has a good anime website where i would be able to watch this! pleaseeeee please id be so thankful!!!

  • @Jenthecrae16 watchanimeon there's all episodes but not the last United world

  • does anyone know where i could download this?

  • cool theme

  • This it the most beautiful anime opening ever.

  • RIP Eri Kawai

  • factor was ramped up exponentially and all the scenes that came off weak in the game grip your soul in the animation. The music is so much more fitting to a story about angels than the game's was and greatly contributes to the emotional value. Events are retconned in a way that make them make more sense and leave less room for plot holes. Sometimes the story can be too dramatic; but overall, I'm loving the anime so much better. We'll see if that holds true when the last season comes out.

  • I personally am thinking the anime is better than the game. Played the game. Very fun combat and gameplay especially for its time. But most of the characters kinda suck and the plot has holes. Lot of Deus Ex Machina is thrown in without explanation too. However, as I'm watching the anime, I'm stunned how they took every character that annoyed me and made them so wonderful and how they tied them to the main plot so they don't lose their usefulness. The pacing is better. The dramatic

  • what website can i find this

  • @btwwtf1

    GoGoanime, go google it.

  • Kratos is so sexy and Raine is awesome. Go Kraine!

  • Cant wait till the last OVA

  • @broodjekaas13 Yes! I can't wait to see it.  Still sad that Eri passed away and couldn't do the opening for the second ToS OVA.

  • lol i remember putting 80 hours into this game and when i finished it my friend borrowed it and deleted my save i still have a nasty chip on my shoulder

  • Sylvarant Opening Theme >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tethe'alla Opening Theme

  • I'm talking as a ToS non-player: the OVA is AWESOME. And now I can't wait to buy the GC ToS, although I still haven't found one at a reasonable price, whyareyousof*ckingrareandgorge­ousmydeargame. (*_ _)

  • @FannyGSX It's a really good game, one of my favorites in the series

  • @FannyGSX so true! i have been trying to find one for a reasonable price too! curse u Tales of symphonia for being so awesome!

  • Best. Video. Game. EVER. :3 Time to watch the anime...

  • "We turn our gaze towards the dawn / A new world / Won't be easy / See past the lies to redemption / See past the lies to the deepest truth / Follow your heart's call / The Chosen's journey to restore Sylvarant / With a guard, my best friend, others, Reine / Open seals of salvation / Kratos, all my good friends / Chosen's journey to save Sylvarant / Kratos, my best friend, others / through peril / not best friends? / I am betr[ayed!]" darn, only to 1:19 ("feirru", best friend is Lloyd)

  • This song is so beautiful.<3

  • One of the most beautiful songs in history.Bless this person in slumber please.

  • @NinjaFoo777: Those are they're original japanese names, and you shouldn't really worry too much, I made the same mistake until I made a lil research ^^

    @kztar621: you're right, and i can understand the frustration of many players who don't actually know the ORIGINAL names but.. you shouldn't be too harsh ok..? please ^^

  • whenever I hear this song I can't stop my tears wonder why it's soooooooo i can't explain it ><

  • @cutestwinry I feel the same way whenever I hear this song. I feel like getting teary-eyed and stuff.

  • It is an OVA they usually do mess up the translations. But usually not that bad =(

  • I found out that the show was made On June 20, 2006, Namco announced an official OVA series for Tales of Symphonia. The four episodes were released in Japan on June 8, August 10, October 24, and December 21. They were directed by Haruo Tonosaki and featured character designs by Akira Matsushima

    and the game was released in japan on August 29, 2003

    and North America on July 13, 2004

    witch means that it is a very BAD translation!

  • i wonder what are t5hey singging?

  • @xerify Then get the single with this song and listen to it in full as opposed to this TV size. =P Full version is even prettier as well as its karaoke.

  • Wats this song called? I need to find the download...

  • @LuvEmilCastagnier Almateria

  • well jiniasu could be spelled as genis! but rains is just confusing. refill is just an awfull name for her. but yeah i think they screwed up in the translations like many great rpg's!

  • arent almost all the names misspelled or is it just me? :O)

  • @NinjaFoo777 It's how the japanese named it.

  • @NinjaFoo777 Those are their Japanese names, AKA the fucking ORIGINAL NAMES

    Go be a noob somewhere else.

  • @kztar621 ty for your enlightening comment good sir,i didnt kno because i only played the english version...AND I WILL be a noob somewhere else

  • I get so nostalgic listening to this.

  • I love Tales of Symphonia...it was the first Anime i've ever seen knowing that it is one xD

    Ahh...this song brings back wonderful memories :3

  • The music they use is amazing.

  • dude kratos is the boss he is just badass

  • well im not dissing you or anything but i did take two years of japanese and i have played the japanese version of tales of versus. and her name their is rain and his is genis. maybe they made a mistake in a couple of games it happens. bad translators it happens for anime too!

  • @katsuyaurusaki if you listen to them talking in the OVA they DO say refill and genius. they say rifiru and jiniasu. i just always figured that they changed their names on purpose to make them sound more like names and less like random words in the english language.

  • me encanta esto el juego y la ova aunq  me encantaria una serie pero bno y almateria waooo increible!

  • still thier original names arent even names genius and refill i like the english names better. thinking about if it was in hirigana or katakana most of their names are wrong. because the orig japanese names would be. koretto, roido, genisu, reinu, regaru, pariseya, zerosu, karatoso, shiina. these would be closly more to the japanese names then the ones in the video. i took two years of japanese but it isn't perfect so i might be wrong at parts but i know their names arent genius and refill!

  • @katsuyaurusaki I started playing TOTW:RM2 which is japanese only (I'm not really learning japanese or anything, so I might be totally wrong) but when they ponounce their names, it sounds like rifiru to me.

  • LOVE THIS SONG! I hear it and I wanna play... wait... the game has been out this long and there are people that didn't know that it was Refill? My faith in some people paying attention to detail has dropped a little. -_-

  • refill is raine's japanese name apparently. didnt know that either until a while ago :P

  • refill sage??? it's Raine Sage fail!! did they turn her into a man??? my fav tales game has been shattered in one instant!

  • @katsuyaurusaki the name used is the original japanese name. so it is so not fail

  • Refill Sage?

  • this song is my idle

  • this is the best anime song ive ever heard in my life

  • I don't why, but I like the shorter version of this song for some reason. Maybe because it wraps up the idea of ToS better. :o

  • wonderfull op. nostalgic!

  • There's Kratos again, looking Badass without trying.

  • @WolfoftheDM Oh, he tries alright. I takes effort to see through bangs like that :) Shihna looks badass without trying, but then she's too good to even try, lol!

  • This opening has got to be the most beautiful opening to any anime.

  • this wuz the best video game i ever played nd the show is amazing :D btw duz anyone kno wut the song is called ?

  • @breakdancingqueen song is called: Almateria from Eri Kawai :3

  • @breakdancingqueen Almateria by Eri Kawai

  • Raine x Lloyd forever <3

  • Colette not Collet

  • @Stormbeaker In the Japanese version, her name in Collet. In the English version, her name is Colette.  Therefore, she can be referred to as both.

  • Best game I ever played and ever will play.

  • man i like the song bt te opening altogather is kinda boring dont u guys think so?

  • dude! WHERE'S PRESEA??? or Regal for that matter, but I like Presea ALOT more <3

  • @meepfeet Check out Tales of Symphonia " Season 2 " aka Tethe'alla-hen, it continues the story where it left from these first 4 episodes. Only 2 of those episodes has come yet but they plan to release all 4 of them i guess until the end of this summer/year. ( 2010 )

    Google " Watch Tales of Symphonia: Tethe’alla-hen Online " and you'll find those episodes, and later on probaply the yet to income episodes.

    Enjoy them, i surely did, they were soo good. And yes Precea and Regal are in them, ofc =)

  • @DeathMiracle really? lol, I heard they were really bad XD I only playeed the game and read the manga

  • @meepfeet If your true fan of tales of symphonia like i am, there's no way you wont enjoy watching them. :)

  • @DeathMiracle I did watch them! And really, I only like ToS cuz of Presea :) I mean, I like other people like Mithos and Sheena but I wouldn't like ToS nearly as much if Presea wasn't there :)

  • @meepfeet Hehe, i know what your talking about. ToS has its unique characters, and without Presea and Sheena animation and the game would've been way much more less interesting. :)

  • I need to playy this...I don't have gamecube though...-_-

  • Hmm...nice, but doesn't really qualify as an opening for me. In my opinion, openings should make you feel pumped up for the episode to come. This felt like ending music.

    This is all my opinion.

  • one word : EPIC *cry*

  • I have seen many animes and so many openings. I have to say this is one of the few very epic ones that gives you the chills even the third time watching it.

    I never played the game but the anime awakens the interesst to try it out.

    Very awesome Opening.

  • @Dant0r1986 The game is really fun! You should try it out.

  • I love Tos. and on top of that I can't wait for the rest of the ova to come out. I saw a few things on youtube about it, so if it is real, i can't wait. I played the game, read all the manga, and now all there is is to watch the rest of the ova. ^-^

  • *Sniff* Whenever I hear this song, my eyes tear up... R.I.P., Eri Kawai (song artist)...

    Oh, and I love the OVA <3

  • I like it!!!

  • i think it'll be better to watch the anime instead of continueing the game but too bad that u hav to comtinue from the game.....

  • SeenaXLloyd forever! :D lol has anyone ever answered "I'll just marry you" in that one skit with him and sheena xD funny as crap lol

  • @zfan122 i agrre llyod and sheena should b together when i play i always pair them up

  • 0:15-0:30 awesome, i wonder if theres a version or something like this with a much longer part like that

  • I've never seen the anime or played the game, but someon reccomended the opening song to me because of its apparent beauty...and I was blown away. This is a beautiful piece of music. It actually moved me to tears. Not because of sadness,but because of the raw emotional purity that it emits. Wow. All I have to say is, it takes real talent to be able to evoke that kind of sensation in a listener. I am glad I took a look at this.

  • Yous should sooooo buy the game, but the anime is different like they skip certain parts, its nothing major, but its all character development. In any case ToS(tales of Symphonia) is a great Game and anime, filled with raw emotion, it taught me some great stuff, and you might learn something too.

  • I actually recently found the game in a bargain bin at Gamestop, and couldn't resist the opportunity to get it. For the first few hours into the game it seemed like a cheap rip-off of FFX (yes FFX did come first, I did do my research), but after that it began to evolve into what is one of the most amazing stories I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I'm currently at the part where Lloyd and the gang have to sneak into Meltokio though the sewers.

  • I hope you're still enjoying it ;) ToS is an amazing game.

    I'm also a fan of it's sequel for the Wii, Dawn of the New World, which while being a bit different still has as incredible a story as Symphonia to tell us.

  • @SubaruOfTheTriad

    I finished it, I'm currently in my first replay and still loving it very much. I haven't gotten the chance to try out the sequel yet, but I would really like to some day.

  • @KayariOfMidnight Protip: By the end of the first or second playthrough, you should have enough Grade to buy the EXP Multiplier X10. Get it, because with the much higher levels you acquire from it, you can easily access dozens and dozens of sidequests, including the Sword Dancer battles for Lloyd's ultimate weapon. Best of all though, you can change Sylvarant's story order for the "Hard Path" of the game. PM me if you want to know more ;)

  • @SubaruOfTheTriad What you should try, is "Mania" difficulty without any "Grade" bonuses. Hardest game difficulty starting from scratch? Too fun

    Still, the most epic fights in the game have to be:

    1. Kratos: "Mania" Difficulty (Encounters I&II)

    2. Sword Dancer III: "Mania" Difficulty

    3. Zelos Wilder: "Mania" Difficulty

    4. Meredy, Farah Oersted, & Garr Cameo Appearance Battle in Meltokio Coliseum: "Mania" Difficulty

    5. Abyssion: "Mania" difficulty. EPIC fight even with entire party LVL 108.....

  • @RFFOdin The cameo battle is so hard on mania. It's a lot of fun

  • Is it just me or does this song sound cooler like this with the vocals kinda toned down?

    I kinda wish the full version was recorded this way.

    Either way, Kawai Eri FTW <3

    And ToS is also FTW

  • Why couldn't that pink haired girl be in the ova more? T.T the ova has to countinue! it was a ending like that!

  • ic ic nvm

  • Kawai eri didn't deserve to die she surely pleased many people with her music

  • This song is so beautiful i wanna cry T.T

  • about Genius and Refill, they both look like twins

  • infinite power , grant me thy streght , METEOR STORM!! :D

  • lol i prefer rita from ToV " BLAH BLAH BLAH TIDAL WAVEEEE"

  • 1:08 does it say her name is refill?

  • Yes... For some reason Raine's real name is Refill, but thank god the game developers changed it into Raine in Europe and America.

  • play on "refilling" life no doubt but yeah it's kinda lame sounding lol

  • thats her japanese name

  • yup. not sure why though... it's realy odd. i'm fairly sure they still pronounce it raine in the OVAs : /

  • best adventure game and kool shows too wish they would make more episodes only have 5 of em on utube plus wonder y they have differ name like Raine Sage is Refill and Genis is Genius plus Shihina is Sheena? maybe cause its japenese well whtevrtyvm4 the song i like it =]

  • i love the beginning over this song up till 0:30, thats my fav part

  • Tales of Symphonia - Almateria Vocal Mix ^^

  • awesome song!

  • i guess this song sounds like heaven

  • bahaha her name is refil?!! oh poor raine xP

  • love it!

  • I hate how they rushed the anime.

    >:(

  • The manga rocked my world.

    And hope it gets dubbed with the proper first-game voices, if at all XD

  • awesome there are anime for this

  • Whats the song called?!! I only know its the opening...

  • Almateria

  • ''Genius'' ''Refill'' WTF?

  • That's the alternate spellings for Genis and Raine.

  • yes Sheena and Shihna

  • Different ways of saying their names Just like Colette is spelled Collet

  • The Japanese names for Genis and Raine.

  • How come Raine And Genis have different names?

  • i love tales of symphonia its been so kool lol

  • Squeeee!

    God, now I wanna play ToS again. ._.

  • It really sucks how there are only 4 episodes. I actually like how there are differences between the OVA and the actual game. They could have done sooo much more if they wanted.

  • Comment removed

  • this is such a pretty song

  • If fhey actually made this into a real anime it would be more popular than anything....

  • ... theres anime?

  • on 0:49 its yydrasil tree we see in tales of phantasia such memorable moment tales of symphonia is related with tales of phantasia :)

  • Pretttyyy.

    Uhmm, but,

    isn't it Genis Sage and Raine Sage.. :S

    Not.. Genius and Refill . ROFL. |:

    At least, according to the Gamecube ToS..

  • thats what they're called in the japanese version

    weird huh \ :

  • Rofl.

    I can understand Genius, but Refill? Haha.

    Interesting.

  • Well, she is the healer, so she refills your life.

    lol

  • lol yeah, the name Raine is much prettier than Refill

  • you are right im not going to "refill" anything xD

    but raine sage its a really good character when it comes to healing!! X0 also if u use genis's cyclone and raine's ray you can get prism stars!

    *.*

  • er, she refills health. That's why she's named that. ^_^'

  • yeah lol but can she "refill" my cup? X3
