While fans wait for the next mothership entry in the Tales series, Bandai Namco has relaunched Tales of Symphonia - Remastered on the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. Those only familiar with Tales of Arise and who walked away loving that game should put this remastered classic on their gaming playlist.
Tales of Symphonia has a story and gameplay that holds up to this day, and its themes follow similar beats to Tales of Arise. Despite its colorful aesthetics, it has one of the most mature narratives in the Tales of series. Moreover, fans that love to sink their teeth into a lengthy JRPG with great characters should look no further than most entries in the Tales games, but how long does it take to beat Tales of Symphonia and see everything it has to offer?
How Long To Beat Tales Of Symphonia
Unsurprisingly, Tales of Symphonia is a lengthy JRPG that will keep fans entertained for a long time. According to the data gathered by How Long To Beat, Tales of Symphonia should last the average player approximately 47 hours to finish the main story. Some players who take their time have completed Tales of Symphonia in 66 hours.
The campaign alone is worth the price of admission, but as with most games in the genre, there are side quests to participate in. According to the data, it takes approximately 66 hours to reach the end of Tales of Symphonia story and finish its side content. However, more leisurely players have played it for around 182 hours to complete Tales of Symphonia.
New Game Plus Content
For a game that can last many fans between 47 and 182 hours, depending on the player, Tales of Symphonia is already a massive game for the most hardened JRPG fans. However, for fans that want to complete the game twice with the New Game Plus content active, Tales of Symphonia is even longer.
After finishing with Tales of Symphonia, they will get a chance to play the game again with bonuses purchased with Grade points earned from playing and completing Tales of Symphonia. Players can start the game again with HP buffs, a maximum of 10x experience points, a complete map, and more.
Unlocking every Grade bonus and replay in New Game Plus will take several playthroughs to get everything. So, completists can take between 200 and 400 hours to finish Tales of Symphonia.
Tales of Symphonia - Remastered is available now for the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. Previous versions are available on the GameCube, PC, and PS3.
