well, im almost at the end of tales of symphnia, but im going to do the side quests befor I finnish it.....it gets to me how diff. the game was the second time I played it, I imagion that the choices effect the story line, for at the end, I had kratos, and not zalos.....I think it had to do with the thing in flanor, after you get the docter for altessa, I dident wanna go see the snow thing with Lloyd and Collet, so, I did the no option, than Sheena and Genus came in and offered, I thought it would just turn the next day.....nope, omeone showed up. and revealed the truth behind part of the story line.....it was kinda sad.....than after that things that had Zalos in, where changed, drasticly for Kratos.....I liked playing the second version (this one) then the first time i played it, damn good game :P
