Bandai Namco Europe has released some new trailers for Tales of Symphonia Chronicles, which introduce a few of the main characters and show off some gameplay. Although the audio is still in Japanese, the text is in English. The release of the game itself will feature dual audio, meaning it will have an option to set the voice over to either English or Japanese. Each trailer also came with a brief bio of the featured character, so be sure to check them out. They’re all free of spoilers, and the descriptions are copied from the video descriptions:
