I would like to take this time to officially announce Game #120, that will be played on The Gaming Beatdown. Starting March 6th, 2017, it is Tales of Symphonia. This is the twelfth game of the Season #6 of Lets Play Nights games. It is also the first game of the Tales of series to be played on the channel.
We are continuing with the RPG train for Lets Play Nights. Already tackling our sixth RPG for the season. However this is the 2nd J-RPG to be played. Now I will be playing my first game in a series that I get told plays almost the same like Kingdom Hearts. That being, the Tales of series. The first game I have decided to play in the franchise is the one that is the most popular, that being Tales of Symphonia.
In a dying world, legend has it that a Chosen One will one day rise from among the people and the land will be reborn. The line between good and evil blurs in this epic adventure where the fate of two interlocked worlds hangs in the balance. That is the plot of Tales of Symphonia.
This was originally going to be the Season #5 Finale, but due to the hiatus I decided to take, it was taken off the games to be played list for the season. Now that we are sitting at Game #120, I figured this would be a good game to play at the half way point of the Season of Lets Play Nights. Also in case if anyone asks, this will be played on the PS3 version from the Tales of Symphonia: Chronicles collection.
Now I have already announced that I will be doing Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep for the Friday night slot, but if your wondering how this game will work. Once Kingdom Hearts is completed Tales of Symphonia will take over both the Friday and Saturday night slot, due to how long the game is. It will be a solo game playthrough. Because doing this game once a week will take to long to complete, so I figured this will just be the only game I playthrough until its done. Once its completed we will be going back to two different playthroughs at a time.
So with that guys, Tales of Symphonia is Game #120, begins on Monday March 6th, 2017. If you missed the announcement trailer for this playthrough you can find it available down below.
