The monsters are clearly visible on the screen, so you can choose when you want to fight them. The only place that you fight is in the dungeons. You just choose the place that you want to go to and the hero will travel there. It is really easy to get from place to place. When you leave the cities, you'll be on the world map. You can also buy (or synthesize) supplies, equipment, and anything else that you might need for your battles. You'll find most of the people to talk to in the cities. In the beginning especially, there is a lot of story going on and not much action. Since you probably already know that Dawn of the New World is an RPG, you can imagine that you'll spend a lot of time talking to people and going to various places. They even recruit the help of Colette, who was Lloyd's partner in the previous game. He supposedly is good in that he can control the monsters and help stop the current monster problems that villages and cities are having. Working with Emil and several other people they meet along the way, the group is determined to collect all the cores so that they can awaken Ratatosk, king of the monsters. She is also trying to collect the same cores with the help of Tenebrae, one of the Centurions who has already awoken. Emil meets Marta, who is trying to stop Lloyd from collecting the cores of Centurions. In fact, according to Emil (the hero of this tale), Lloyd killed his parents. We're not exactly sure what has happened during that time, but it seems like Lloyd is no longer acting very heroicly. Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World takes place two years after Tales of Symphonia. I'm not going to promise you'll like him or anything by the end, but at least I stopped cringing when he spoke. The hero does get better and less whiney over time. Other than that, the rest of the characters are fine. He whines so much in the beginning that I wanted to mute the sound every time he spoke. The one complaint I have is the hero Emil is the absolute most annoying hero from any game. When you get into battle, things do pick up. The background sounds are calming and pleasant. A large part of the game, especially at the beginning, is mostly story, so it's a good thing that everything is so much fun to watch. The backgrounds scenes are just as beautiful too. I would swear that the cutscenes all came straight out of an anime. I don't think I've heard my Wii chug that hard ever! The characters look like the Vesperia characters. I am amazed at how well they did working with the Wii engine actually. They aren't quite as good as the graphics in Tales of Vesperia for the 360, but that's to be expected. The graphics are quite pretty in Dawn of the New World. The newest Tales game, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, is just as addictive, after you give it a little bit of time to get into it. Not too long ago I reviewed Tales of Vesperia and mentioned that I just couldn't put the controller down.
