OMG! Your icon is making me laugh SO hard! XDD!

Firstly...the Kratos and baby!Lloyd pics are SO OMG CUTE that I am flailing around right now. Especially the coloured image of Lloyd on his shoulders. AW!!! The cuteness is TOO MUCH TO HANDLE.
baby!Lloyd has such pinchable cheeks.

Also...wait, does this mean Zelos lives? I'm so confused. My friend told me he died in the official manga...what gives? I know he dies in the drama CD, though. D:

Lastly- thanks so much for these scans. <3 You work way too hard. D:

I love the panel where Kratos cut off Lloyd's "father" and patted Lloyd on his head XD I love Kratos and Lloyd even more after reading these! Thank you so so much for the scans!!!

I think Zelos died in the official novel?
So Zelos is dead according to the novel, drama CD, and TOA; he lives according to the manga and TOF2 lol

I love how the ending! The whole gang (well, minus two people) is traveling around the world again :D And Zelos lives! WOOT!

[aefallen]

XD! I imagine Kratos thinking, "Don't call me father. You make me feel OLD." Well... older than he actually is, which is really saying something. ;)

XDD!! I loved Kratos and Lloyd even more after these, too! ♥ I didn't even think it were possible!

You're most welcome! *beams* I'm so glad you enjoyed the scans! ;)

XDDD I came to Symphonia very very late, so I'm completely unfamiliar with what happens in the novels and drama CDs, etc. But thank you for letting me know!

omg ToA. You mean that random guy who gets knocked out and says, "Ze...los... di...ed..."? XD I ignore him! I put it down to ravings of a scrambled consciousness! XDDD

I love the ending, too! ;) I almost wish Mithos hadn't been batshit crazy and he could've joined them all in the world tour! It might have fixed his batshit craziness! Maybe even given us Lloyd/Genis/Mithos! ;)

YAY for Zelos surviving! ;) It probably made me as happy as the cuteness of baby!Lloyd and Kratos.

"Lloyd, don't call me dad, I am only 4000 years old! I am too young to be a father!" XD Kratos does look young though; in the beginning of the game I thought Kratos would be Lloyd's brother or something.

Which also reminds me, Kratos was telling Lloyd "don't die before me" when he handed Lloyd the locket... the scene is really touching and all, but... isn't it kind of impossible for Lloyd to outlive Kratos? XD I mean, Kratos seems to stuck at 20 something years old (or have a incredibly long life span), and Lloyd seems to age like normal people... lol

Still, it's interesting how we might never have a cannon ending for Zelos.
Sometimes I don't know who I sympathize with more, Asch or Zelos. At least Asch got to take his anger out of his replica, and he died after resolving his conflicts. But Zelos died without any salvation.
... That's why you've got to live Zelos >_> I hate this kind of emo endings!

Mithos is... He's supposed to be a tragic hero, but he's so out of his mind that I never quite understand him.

Tales of Symphonia SO doesn't let me choose a couple I might stick to. One moment I'm wibbling about how cute Colette and Lloyd are together and the next one I'm all OMG ZELOSANDLLOYDYES and then I'm all LloydGenis T_T

... but having more Kratos is always so nice. AND. Baby Lloyd with Kratos. Yes, it's heartbreaking in the best way but still. *WIBBLES A LOT*

coff, Yuan/Kratos is always a yes in my book.

[aefallen]

! I love your Zelos icon! ♥

XDDDDDD I love how Symphonia lets you have pretty much ALL the couples you want! ;) I support every single pairing you listed, and I encourage supporting ALL PAIRINGS at once! ;) There's no reason why Kratos/Lloyd can't coexist with Lloyd/Colette and Yuan/Kratos! ;) XDDD Lloyd/Colette is my sweet happy fluff feel-good place - the sunshine in my Symphonia pairings. ♥

But oh, I knew from the start (being cheerfully spoilered) that Kratos was Lloyd's father and it still didn't stop me from shipping the pairing. ;) I do wish at times that they weren't related so that I could ship them WHOLEHEARTEDLY (and that there'd be more fanfiction, and so that people wouldn't feel so bad about shipping them

Ooooh, thanks! Wow, the manga has done so much more for Kratos and Lloyd than the game ever did. Even I'm getting a little teary-eyed over all the young!Lloyd and Kratos shots...

But wow... that's the end? Awww... The manga always cut out bits to end it faster.

Still, looks like it wrapped it up really well! And Zelos DIDN'T die! :p Thanks for posting this ^^

[aefallen]

the manga has done so much more for Kratos and Lloyd than the game ever didXDDDDD How true that is! I got all ;;__;; over the baby!Lloyd and Kratos moments, too - you're not alone! I don't even know why they moved me so much

[aefallen]

I know! He's so cute... there's also an additional manga with side-stories for nearly everybody, and there's a bitty!Lloyd and Dirk flashback to when Dirk adopted Lloyd. socute omg. I'll scan it sometime, it's a whole other book and I've had quite enough scanning for today. But someday!

ohgods, absolutely no kidding on that Mithos point. This entire manga's Mithos appearances can be summarised as:

1. Mithos looking crazy
2. Mithos looking deranged
3. Mithos looking absolutely out of his mind
4. Mithos "the lights are on, and someone Really Weird Is Home"
5. Mithos being emo and angsting over his Oneesama.

XDDD Mindgames indeeeed. ♥ That's probably why Mithos is nuts and so good at them: living so long made him start playing mindgames with himself, and the rest is history. BOOM.

Kratos! *is like so fangirling him after playing tales of the world, srsly*

[aefallen]

Hey there! ♥ I'm so glad you have Kratos love, he is totally worthy. ;) I hope Tales of the World is GOOD fun! ;)

[a_songfor_xx]

Kratos is completely worth fangirling love 8D (Which I did, when I saw him in TOTW).

And tales of the world is fun, albeit final boss asdlsdkj orz stupid overpowered !!!!
