How the GameCube/GBA Connectivity will be utilized has yet to be disclosed, however Namco has also announced three additional Tales games, and one of them is a Game Boy Advance title that has been left unnamed at the moment (also being published by Nintendo). The others are the PlayStation 2’s Tales of Truthia, the sequel to Tales of Eternia, which will continue the traditional 2D Battle System of its predecessor, and a new fan disc in development for the PlayStation One called Tales of Phantom 2.
More as it comes…

"Truthia"?
Sounds like a locale in a cheesy 60's government-issue educational filmreel.
Right on the border of "Don't-cut-in-linetopia".

Oh, I mean the Japanese PS2 one, btw. I forgot Namco screwed up the names even worse for the US.Quote:

And the plot was friggin terrible, and the encounter rate unbearable.Quote:

The plot is still terrible. The encounter rate is still unbearable. The only thing good about I can say is the sprite art is nice and for the most part ignores the eye gouging character designs. It's just not any fun to play, so I can't see how anyone can really like it, especially if you've played other games in this convoluted series. It's a greatest hit somehow so It's cheaper than most imports, but it's still not worth it. I played it for six hours so I really, really tried to like it (and I didn't have anything else to play at the time really), but there's nothing to like. It is pretty good for the first hour or so, then it becomes incredibly repetitive and dull.Quote:
