I'm bored and have writer's block, so I'm redoing this post.
Basic Information
Name: Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
Release Date: June 26 Japan, maybe Autumn for North America
Pre-order Bonus: A bonus DVD (Japan); nothing announced yet for the North American Release
General Information
-The main characters are Emil Castagnier and Marta Lualdi
-The battle system is like the one in Tales of the Abyss. This means there is free run, where you can move in all directions of the battlefield instead of just left or right.
-All nine of the main characters from ToS are returning. Kratos is the narrator.
-The maps are changed due to the merging of the worlds. Environments have changed as well.
-There is tension between the people of Tethe'alla and Sylvarant.
-The Palmacosta Blood Purge is responsible for killing countless lives, including Emil's parents. Emil wants revenge for his parents' deaths and plans on fighting the one responsible: Lloyd.
-While the old party members do join your party, most of the fighting will be done with monsters.
Merchandise
Yeah, there's merchandise already. Well, a soundtrack and a couple of singles at the very least. If it's anything like Tales of Symphonia and Tales of the Abyss there might be cards and buttons, but that might be reserved for Tales of Vesperia.
Credit goes to Tales Channel, Wikipedia, ToysLogic, the Tales of my Shuffle site, and CDJapan for this information. I'd love to link to the pages, but since there's Japanese text I can't.
Name: Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Original Soundtrack
Release Date: July 9, 2008
Catalog Number: AVCD-23646~9
First Press Bonus: A sticker
Note: It's not out yet, but if you decide to look up the track list when it's out then be careful. The Tales of the Abyss OST had some spoilers in its title to correspond with the anime cutscenes, though oddly enough they were in Japanese while all of the other song titles were in English.
Name:"Three-legged race" Single - CD/DVD (Cover A)
Release Date: June 25, 2008
Catalog Number: AVCD-31433
First Press Bonus: A sticker; also comes with a double-sided poster
Name: "Three-legged race" Single (Cover B)
Release Date: June 25, 2008
Catalog Number: AVCD-31434
First Press Bonus: A sticker
Name: Tales of my Shuffle Volume 3
Release Date: June 29, 2008? Already released?
What's this?: A trading card game. It has cards from Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Phantasia, and the Tale of Symphonia games. I think it might already be released, but I don't know for certain. What I will say is that it looks like there's an Emperor Peony card and a couple of Sync ones. Do want.
Name: Nintendo Power Poster Book
Release Date: Now released
What's this?: A book of forty posters released by Nintendo. They aren't very big (imagine opening a magazine and laying them flat), but there is a ToS: DotNW one as well as a bunch of others.
Available: Wherever Nintendo Power is sold.
Price: $12.99 Canadian
I'll update this once more information and merchandise is released.
Edit: Look into your heart. You know it to be true.
