Something has gone wrong with the unification of the worlds. There should be balance. Peace. But the climates are out of tune -- deserts have frozen over, massive lakes dried up -- and nobody is certain why. To make matters worse, the people of the Sylvarant and Tethe'alla are at odds with one another and war looms. You play as the 16-year-old blonde boy Emil Castagnier, described by Namco as indecisive, whose parents were recently killed. One day Emil hears a calling and follows it into the mountains, where he meets Marta Lualdi, a 15-year-old tomboy whose mother was also killed in the unification of the two worlds. In a surprise twist, the characters learn that it was Lloyd Irving who was indirectly responsible for the deaths of their loved ones. "Emil believes that his parents were killed by Lloyd Irving. It's a significant aspect of the story that will be addressed as players make their way through the game," explains localization manager Minako Takahashi." Together, they embark upon a quest to discover the truth behind the hearsay and also to bring balance back to the land.
The battle component has been enhanced in Dawn of the New World. Now, it feels much more real-time, enabling you to move in all directions around the battle field while executing powerful unison attacks which make use of a new elemental alignment system. "The battle system has evolved from Tales of Symphonia -- there is more strategy involved now with field element attributes and a new aerial combo system," adds Takahashi. And if you played the GCN original, you will undoubtedly be happy to discover that four separate people can again control characters during battles. Namco says that Dawn of the New World boasts a handful of visual enhancements, too, although in screenshots released so far it's difficult to say if this is true. From what we can tell, the game still runs in standard 4:3, although we've got our fingers crossed for a widescreen option. When quizzed on the subject, Namco reps were unwilling to divulge details regarding how the game utilizes the functionality of the Wii remote, except to clarify that you can navigate the game world by selecting "the location that you want to go on the world map with the Wii remote or the directional buttons." Gesture systems? Advanced pointer control? Right now, the studio isn't talking. Even so, Dawn of the New World looks perfectly suited to satisfy the RPG craving that fans of the original outing have felt.
