It's a weakER entry in the series, though as someone who likes the series a good bit I think it's still a fine game. It's not an actual weak entry like Legendia or Hearts, of course.
Still, just playing it again last year was....interesting. Not exactly a combat system I can get behind, just a bit of a mess. Still, a lot of fond memories there. I played that game so much that it only took a few days to beat! Definitely a huge eye opener for me in regards to jRPGs, I'd barely touched them before that. So I gues I owe Symphonia a bit of a debt.
