Revision as of 06:30, 10 April 2017
- Actor Allusion: (Japanese version) In the sequel, Collete thinks that Regal trains spies to "hide in cardboard boxes and steal top-secret info from rival companies".
- Media Research Failure: Nintendo Power Magazine incorrectly referred to Raine as Genis' mom.
- Fan Nickname: Disco Lord Yggdrasil.
- Hey, It's That Voice!: The English voice cast in a lot of ways embodies the transition period between popular 90's voice actors and voice actors who would become popular as the 00's went on.
- Lloyd clearly having the voice of Scott Menville, aka Robin and Ma-Ti. Also, Kratos' VA is Cam Clarke, who lent his voice in several other productions, as well, brrrrother!
- Kratos? When will you learn how to turn yourself into a flaming missile?
- Also, how's Silvermoon, Blood Elf?
- Oh great, Tidus is back and here to complain about his family iss-- did he just telekinetically slam The Hero into a wall and attempt to murder everybody so that he could turn a sixteen year old girl into his sister's new body?! Talk about Playing Against Type!
- Samus? Bastila? Why are you a clumsy big-boobed ninja? Shouldn't you be fighting Metroids and Sith?
- Forcystus is also The Other Darrin for Tony Montana
- Magnius also voices various Grunts and Brutes.
- Rodyle is, variously Spotswoode, Myotismon and Mercurymon, Timmy's Dad and Cosmo, and the Club Skum MC from "Hobgoblins".
- He's not Vamdemon, that's Richard Epcar you're thinking of.
- Not to mention Cliff Freakin McCormack.
- Remiel is also The Riddler and Renji Abarai.
- Both Luna and Pronyma are actually Tally Wong, Psylocke, and LeBlanc.
- Colette has had an on-and-off job as Ducky.
- She's lowered her voice here, but you hear it, yep yep yep!
- She also had a one-week stint playing the Reaper's Game.
- And, to Kalec's dismay, no one could stop her from sacrificing herself as Anveena Teague.
- And Presea is Tara Strong, aka Bubbles, Ben Tennyson, Raven, Rikku, Twilight Sparkle, the original Diglett, and also Corrine. And many, many other roles.
- Thanks to Janice Kawaye, Alice's career includes Jenny Wakeman and Ami Onuki.
- And who can overlook Crispin Freeman and Troy Baker as Regal?
- In the sequel, Sheena is Viola and Mai Valentine.
- I Knew It!: Some people saw the somewhat unorthodox Luke, I Am Your Father twist coming. Others came close by believing the two characters to be brothers or connected in some other way.
- Name's the Same: No, Kratos is not Kratos from God of War. The fact that he came first should make that more obvious.
- Coincidentally, this Kratos can obtain the title "War God".
- Though while the spelling is the same, they are pronounced quite differently. (Krah-tos vs Kray-tos)
- Names to Know in Anime:
- Katsuyuki Konishi - Lloyd

- Nana Mizuki - Colette

- Yumi Touma - Raine
- Houko Kuwashima - Presea
- Akio Ohtsuka - Regal
- Masaya Onosaka - Zelos
- Minami Takayama - Mithos (young version)
- In the Japanese version Lloyd likes kicking reason to the curb! He'll pierce the heavens with his swords!
- North America Brothers anyone?
- Also in Japanese, Sheena sounds like a certain red-headed pirate that's great at navigating and bossing her crewmates around in One Piece
- Kratos clearly shows that Gendo Ikari isn't getting any better as a father to the main character anytime soon.
- Nobuhiko Okamoto - Wonder Chef in the OVA specials.
- No Export for You:
- Averted after ten years: The PS2 release of Tales of Symphonia was bundled with Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World for the PS3, complete with a graphical update, in the "Tales of Symphonia Chronicles" two-pack for North America and Europe.
- None of the OVAs have been released outside of Japan. Fortunately, the fans have translated them.

Popular opinion seems to be that, while Beacock did a good job, Scott Menville's hot-headed approach just suits our Idiot Hero Lloyd better. Also a rare example of this actually working to the story's advantage. It's a plot point that a Lloyd imposter is walking around in Dawn of the New World. Had Menville returned, it would've been blazingly obvious which of them was fake.
