Vesperia was a dissapointment compared to symphonia...
there were no choices with consequences, in symphonia your first few choices could change the entire games outcome sad .

I need to try symphonia 2

Hmm, I don't think I've ever kept empty slots in my party. I usually have "placeholders" until I have the team I'm going for.

::Unrelated side note:: Heart Gold and Soul Silver are going to be sooo amazing crying

I'm getting Soul Silver, mi madre said she'd get it for me when it's released. I should probably tell her to pre-order it...

...and each regret and each good-bye, was a mistake too great to hide"

I think I'm getting gold...cause my cousin wants silver.

Oh well. Makes it easier that way, so I don't need to buy both games.

Shram: I kinda liked Vesperia...even though I haven't beaten it yet. You could change the outcome in Symphonia? How? It's always been the same everytime I've played it...

Depends on what quests you do, and how you react to things, like the first choice, do you leave school to go explore? or do you stay back as a good school child? one has the priest come to the school (and die) the other you find the priest at the tempel (this is a minor detail that doesn't change much), there is also a third method which results in the priest not dying, which in turn changes some of the deeper prospect of the game.

There are also sections where I am sure you've "lost" teammate, most likely there are situations where you don't loose those teammates and you suddenly go through cities in different orders doing different things.

try pre exploring, go to cities ahead of time or just go with your gut and say "******** you I don't want to do what you say" when people tell you that you have to do something.

The game is huge and I've seen the final outcome (as in battle and story and all) be different at least 5 times.

I've only ever seen minor changes in the actual storyline though, whether it be added events or character changes. Getting Kratos at the end is actually one of the biggest changes I remember seeing, actually. Mostly, it's just added information that an average player who speeds through a game won't notice/get/care about.

...and each regret and each good-bye, was a mistake too great to hide"

That's interesting, cause mostly since I hate Zelos with a passion, I go through the path to get Kratos back...maybe that's why.
