@@RetroNerdyGamer Yes, but there's a somewhat goofy scene in this game involving coffee that's supposed to be serious, but it got kinda bungled in the English localization, and became unintentionally humorous, and thus, a meme.
While i like Starry Heavens and Soshiteboku Nidekiru Koto. I grew up with his, and also fits the "symphony" Motif best. Also Almateria from the anime is just as great, RIP Kawai Eri.
This really invokes the Symphonia motif and I said to myself i will get this remaster. But, with the constant issues plaguing it, i am still glad i have my GameCube and Tales of Symphonia on that.
@@Pam234 It is great, but I also really miss the grand feeling and nostalgia of the west one. As a kid this was so epic. They should have put all 3 at the same time
@@typhlocube9359 i can see how people might like it for the nostalgia. But the thing that people never take account for is starry heavens lyrics as they match the events of the game I held back tears and saw her off. A shooting star is now flying in the night sky What would you pray for if you found it? The promise I made with you as you departed always in my heart A shooting star is now flying in the night sky What would you pray for if you found it? "No matter where you are, you're connected." your words come back to me You chasing your dreams and me watching over you This is why I think it is the best opening. But to each their own.
@Pam234 You're right, too few people acknowledge this. This is why Starry is goated to me too. But Suite is also goated for different reasons. It's just a really good track that gets you hooked up right away and blends well with the animation and the game's setting. Granted this is a bit more generic than Starry Heavens, but imo this is Tales' best attempt at a "westernized" opening if that makes sense. They both have different jobs, but they do it really well
@@typhlocube9359 This is definitely the best argument I’ve seen as to why the English OP is the best one. Usually people say that starry heavens is bad because of nostalgia. However It’s just that it’s too bland for me. But now I can see how some people might like it more than starry heavens ( even if I whole heartedly disagree)
The background music seems straight out of Zelda but calmer, taking into account that the openings of games of this type are anime-type, because this seems strange. However, if they had done it with images of the game in the style of the Zelda Twilight Princess intro or chrono trigger it would have looked great.
No, it finally has the opening it should have had to begin with. Not like I don't like this song but it was a bit annoying to find out that Japan actually had a vocal song.
I'm here because some mofo having a debate about which one is the best version of the op song. So I'm here to hear the opening, but I'm just hearing a whole background music instead lol
Hmmm. I guess, not all things in life can be equated to better or worse - especially since that is subjective. The Instrumental opening for this and Destiny have a special place for many people who first experienced the game with this being the soundtrack to booting up the game. Starry Heavens is amazing, but this RUclips is also focused on just English Language versions of Tales games.
Still one of the best openings of all time, twenty years later.
Thanks for this! I love starry heavens but the english version of the opening still has a place in my heart.
I watched the Japanese and english opening. And it is interesting how the tone can changed based on the tyoe of music
I will never forget the hot coffee meme
Wait, what hot coffee meme? Wasn't that GTA? lmao
@@RetroNerdyGamer it’s a popular meme among the fandom search it up
Tales of symphonia hot coffee

@@ElvenRaptor right, the one where Collette lies about the mug.

This game has one of the greatest scenario.
My disappointment was immeasurable when I turned on the Switch remaster and this wasn't what I heard.
Why? Starry Heavens is so good.

The best game forever

20 years later 🤯
Does someone know if they used this opening for the switch remaster??
I just downloaded it and no they didn’t 😭 they have two Japanese openings that are gorgeous, but this one lives in my memory forever
Unfortunately Not,
@@gabriel.a3598 oof, then I'm definitely not buying due to all the other issues. Sad all these soulless "remasters" are just hollow cash grabs
No, it finally has the opening it should have had to begin with.

@@ithydoodles dude you're literally the only person I know that wants the Japanese song. The western instrumental is superior but to each their own
I prefer this to the Kpop one
Jpop

Bruh how is this better than starry heavens? It's soulless and boring

This is nostalgia that’s why it’s better… and also to me the instrumental fits with the imagery and coveys struggle and hope
“Soulless” quiet child. You obviously didn’t grow up with the original
Starry Heavens is too modern. This is an epic, classic-style intro fit for an sweeping story.
Nigga talking bout soulless when he likes all modern slop for soulless goblins.
