Namco Bandai was showing off Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World at its Editors Day event. The publisher is still being a bit guarded about the role-playing sequel, but IGN managed to learn several new details about what they can expect later this year.
Dawn of the New World is a spin-off from the original Tales of Symphonia, released on the GameCube in 2004. Symphonia was Namco's most successful role-playing game to date. Dawn of the New World picks up two years after the events of the first game and introduces two new main characters: Emil and Marta. A Japanese trailer was shown at Namco Bandai's event, showcasing quite a large cast of other characters -- some new and some from the previous adventure.
41 trophies to unlock with a good amount of variety. Be warned, light spoilers.

Kotaku - This past weekend in Yokohama, 25,000 Japanese fans gathered for Tales of Festival 2013 over the course of two days. And since the conversation at an event like this turns to all things Tales, we at Kotaku East decided to give voice to a few fans about their favorite Tales games and more. As you’ll see from their responses, these fans have favorites across the entire series, and they are definitely loyal to the core when it comes to Tales.
Such a fantastic JRPG series
can't wait for Tales of Xillia in August, for North America
surprised I dont see Tale of Symphonia on here. Most of them seem to like the recent Tales games tho so i guess there only playing what they can get their hands on.
I'm kind of amazed at the popularity of Vesperia. Yes, the characters were fantastic... but the setting was pretty shallow for a Tales Of game, and the overall narrative was pretty dull IMHO.
