No, I added that because it was one of the biggest disappointments in video game history. To come off of Tales of Symphonia to find that the next game in the series took so many steps backwards. Terrible. XP
Bah, except for the lame story, encounter rate, and voice actor less second half, I don't see what the big deal is. I thought the cast more than made up for its shortcomings. Especially Grune, nothing in Symphonia come close to Grune's awesomeness
