I bought Tales of Symphonia a few days back on a whim, and it arrived in the mail yesterday.
The game is much more awesome then I expected it to be. :3
You have your not very bright but well meaning main character, his magic-using super smart best friend who's always getting smacked around by everyone, the stupid blond girl who is totally going to get together with the main character before the end, and just happens to be the one chosen to save the world, teehee!, the badass jerk of a mercenary, and the obligatory healer, who has a stick up her ass.
Ah, good ol' unwritten rpg law. How I love you.
And I've only just scratched the surface, because apparently there's eighty hours of gameplay. -instert heart attack here-

Sadly, I was wrong. :'(
I BET KRATOS IS LLOYD'S FATHER.
It just suddenly hit me this morning. Ohohoho.
If you've played the game, don't tell me whether or not I'm right. I want to find out for myself. >3
Now I've just got to kill some time until my brother wakes up. He gets pissy if I start playing a game without him, if he's been following the story. x3
