== Cast and Staff ==

The English version has been revealed to feature all of the original voice actors from the original [[Tales of Symphonia]] and will be a [[SAG|Union]] project, the first for the series since 2004. Namco insisted that the dubbing studio use the voice cast featured in [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]] but the statement was later retracted when Tales series localization producer Peter Garza, stepped in and attested to the fan's demands for the return of the original voice cast due to criticisms leveled at the new voice cast featured in later games, particularly for the character of Lloyd Irving <ref>[http://brianbeacocksucks.com Anime News Network: Tales of Symphonia Announced for North America]</ref>. Garza also stated that all games featuring the Symphonia characters from this point will be unionized<ref>[http://brianbeacocksucks.com Anime News Network: Tales of Symphonia Announced for North America]</ref>.
