From Kenshiro's post at meristation:

"De IGN, traducción de Famitsu:

Perhaps of more importance is the new information on Namco's Tales of Symphonia contained in the upcoming Famitsu. Tales of Symphonia, in case you weren't paying attention the three separate times the game has been announced by Namco (the first being nearly a year ago) is the first Tales game to appear on the GameCube, and the first to feature such high tech innovations as 3D polygonal graphics. Included in the issue are the following bits of information.

Development on the game has reached the two year mark. Development started at the same time as that of Tales of Destiny 2 (the PS2 entry in the series).
The development staff consists mostly of the developers from the Tales of Eternia side of the series.
Namco would like to release the game in the Summer.
The game is in 3D, but you cannot change the viewpoint while in a town.
Event scenes feature dramatic camera work.
Main characters will number greater than that of Destiny 2. Perhaps it will be the most the series has ever scene (shock!).
There'll be some sort of measure of the favor the main character holds with other characters (perhaps a statistics readout of some form?).
The theme song will be J-Pop."

The first sentence translates to "From an IGN's translation of Famitsu"

Same team as Tales of Eternia...
Many main characters...
And the most shocking in my opinion... Bits of date-sim!

Oh yeah, this.
I was more intrigued that while they say that their progress is around 30%, but they want to release it in summer, which is... 4 months away?

And they're going to keep the Grade system apparently, though the usage will be different from Destiny 2. There won't be SP anymore, although specials and ougi are still in the game. Status system is going to be the same as in Destiny 2, where they give level up bonuses.

Flon comes in first. Hooray.

Oh, your post reminds me how little I know about the saga... I've only played ToP, and I still haven't finished it (I'm about to, though).

Hummm... ToD2 didn't had that many characters, compared with the nine in TOD... And the relation of characters affecting the gameplay probably will be handled like in Star Ocean 2nd.
