Description:
A world split then merged, where four heros rose over time to shape and save the world.
Tales of Symphonia, is often regarded as the best of the "Tales" series. The game started as a prequel to the popular Tales of Phantasia, and later received it's own sequel "Dawn of the New World". The games's story, put as short as possible is...
**** happens
This mod, will be my effort to bring as many elements from ToS to Minecraft as possible. Mainly from a first person prospective. I would like to see this mod develop more towards RPG items, that other mods can use, as well as be able to stand by itself and still be a fun mod.
This mod will be developed to best be used in combination with Noppes Custom NPCs. Instead of focusing on everything, I'm going to focus on new items and crafting.
Status:
This mod has been completely resurrected. No work has been done, but I will begin on finding a mod maker and fleshing out the ores and chunk spawning. The Mana leaf plant may be completed first.
May very well make x16 x32 x64 x128 versions of the mod, as 16x makes my eyes bleed.
Items
Exsphere
An exsphere, for those that don't know, is described as a power-enhancer that brings out your best combat abilities. As such the Exsphere will be fairly thought out. I don't want a simple "one item" mod after all, I want a level of depth that matches the game.
Exspheres will be (if I can make it) equipped in the accessory slot I will make. Wearing an Exsphere will boost your combat power by 25%. They will be found, unpowered, in rare ore veins.
Exspheres are currently brain farting me on how to go about creating them in game. For those that have played ToS and know how they are created, please feel free to pm me with ideas on it.
Once wielded, an exsphere can never be removed. If you remove an exsphere, your will start taking damage on par with being on fire. Upon death, a "mutant" will spawn where you died. This mutant is supposed to be you, as in the game, removal of an exsphere causes the bodies mana to go nuts, destroying it. I'm still working on what will happen on removal, but it will be bad.
There are other penalties to wearing an exsphere, if possible, after 5 minecraft days you will be treated like you are poisoned.
Exsphere w/ Keycrest
A keycrest must be worn around an exsphere to keep it in check. An exsphere with a keycrest can be removed without problem, as well as protect you from any negative effects a bare exsphere has.
Keycrests will be fairly easy to make, so the only people that should have issues, are those that don't read any info on the mod and just assume the exsphere itself is safe to use off the bat. Aka, those that expect instant results = dead
Cruxis Crystal
This juggernaut is essentially a fully evolved exsphere. Developed by Cruxis, and used among it's ranks. Wielders of a Cruxis Crystal will (if possible) gain the following effects.
Immediate: +25% combat bonus
After 5 MC Days: Players gain wings, allowing them to fly.
After 10 MC Days: Players nolonger have to eat.
After 15 MC Days: Hostile Mobs glow, and the player can see them easier.
After 20 MC Days: Players nolonger feel pain, and become immune to fall damage.
After 25 Days: Skin starts to harden, defence increases 25% but players move slower.
After 30 Days:
The Cruxis Crystal cannot be removed once equipped, and unlike the exsphere it is unknown if there are any harmful effects of using one.
ToS players,
Chronic Angelus Crystallus Inofficium will be in full effect, and the fix is identical to the games.
Mana Leaf Plant
Harvested from Mana Leaf Herbs, found on the dying comet of Derris
Mana Fragments
Not much is known about these, debating making a Derris Kharlan dimension that has it there.
Zircon
A fairly hard gem, that is also very brittle. It will have several uses, and I may make a few tools with it. Namely Shovels with more uses than iron, and pickaxes with less uses than gold. Will be used in several secret recipes.
Inhibitor Ore/Metal
This fairly uncommon ore is used to create key crests
Unicorn Horn
An extremely rare item, that I have no idea how to put in game. If I can figure out how to add a single mob, I'll do that. Unicorn horn can currently be used with adverse effects, including blindness and hunger. Prehaps it's to pure in this form?
Runecrest
Those of you that know what this is, will know what it does. Let's keep it secret for now
Gels
Apple Gel: Slightly fills the hunger bar, same effect as a healing potion.
New Dimension!
Derris Kharlan

I'm open to suggestions, and DEFINITELY open to help. I'll take any help you're willing to offer, I'm not a Java coder, and I have a feeling this will be a massive headache lol.
Want to help? Send a pm with a link to something you've worked on. I'm not picky in the slightest, but seeing something you have done may give me an idea on where you'd help best.
This is merely it's textures, NOT the full block. Zircon will posses some luminescence in it's ore form. And I'd like it to make the "gem" parts of it semi-translucent.
Recruiting Any and All
If you want to help out with the mod, please by all means, PM me and let me know. Posting an application below is fine of course, but if this topic gets busy I may miss it. Being on the team will require registration on Welgaia's official forum.
... o.O I dont even know what Tales of Symphonia but this looks AWESOME =D
But that I dont know what it is doesnt mean that I cant come with ideas :tongue.gif: (or..?)
Maybe could you make a mana Bar like the xp bar :smile.gif:
and those Combat +25 could be shown like when you have used a potion and then says like: "speed +2" :smile.gif: or could you make a hole new skill system but that (i think) would be really hard :tongue.gif:
I dont see why this not seem intersting for someone but Really like it +1 ^^
I did debate adding mana and a whole magic class, but it would likely be as a expansion, along with the rheairds. If I add magic as an expansion, I will be forced to make a "race" chart that the player picks from at the beginning of each world. As only Half-Elves and Elves can use magic in the ToS world.
I'd have no objection to having it appear in the inventory screen as a popup, but as it's likely a perm boost, I don't want to crowd the gui.
A skill system "technically" will be put in place. The Ex gems would likely fill this niche, with each different gem having tiers they level up to.
ok nice :smile.gif: I think I have to search on that ToS thingy :tongue.gif: to know what it is, it sounds awesome =P
One of the best games to hit the gamecube, and a fairly rare PS2 game. The games story is like fighting Mike Tyson. Just when you think it's hit you with it's best shot, POW, it hits you harder. Does that all the way to the end. That and it's very possible to get owned so hard you feel like rage quitting because you're under leveled for the fight.
Holy Martel, a Tales of Symphonia mod! This is almost too good to be true!
Anyway, the best of luck to you. I would offer to aid you in this awesome endeavor, but I don't know how...

Thank you thank you, I should be releasing the first expansion pack soon. While the core mod isn't done yet, I figure an expansion will help raise awareness of it. The expansion will be releasing almost all the food items from ToS into minecraft, with new items and such.
Should give the people "hungry" for new food items something to enjoy.
Indeed. So let's say you want to make gels- What would need in that case?
Ah gels! My my, first off I will have to speak to the owner of wizardcraft and any other popular magic mods, and acquire support from them to make my gels heal mana.
Or hell maybe I'll just release magic as an expansion . Indignation and Judgement are needed.
Gels though... I actually never thought of them, but they ARE a must.
My guess is, for apple gels. In gen 1, then will be made for crafting slime with an apple.
In gen2, I'd like to have the slime go through a brewing stand first, then be used on an apple
In final release, I'd like to have a working "gel shop" that works like a brewery stand.
Ah, the Scallop gels. Puzzling Tales players since 2005-6 (I think).
Do you plan to make apples and slimes slightly more common, then?
Ohhh thats an extremely good point I didn't think of.
If I make a custom brewing stand just for gels, I may scrap needing slimes at all. As for apples.... prehaps instead of making them more commmon, one apple nets 16 gels.
I'll work on it. I need a coder on board before I can plan it out to be more fun.
My line of work on all items.
Make the idea, make the concept, make it work, make it fun, make it better.
Oh. My. Goddess. A ToS mod. I'm thinking I'm hosting a Tales RP server with this for sure 8D
I cant wait to see what you do with this!!!
Well it's getting to the point where needing a coder is now top priority . I thought I could handle it on my own with mod gen and MCP... but its far from easy. It's not a matter of "skill" just constant errors that google cant find solutions to
As for the ToS rp server, I have a few skins I made of the Seraphim. Works wonderfully with Noppes amazing Custom Npcs
But just a suggestion, maybe you could make the Sorcerer's Ring that could activate things like redstone,like a beacon or something? Maybe even some of the variations?
Keep up the good work! I still cant wait to see what happens with this. :smile.gif:
Perhaps in the future there could be some sort of thing that adds the Tales music, like the audio mod.
Also, I have an idea on the exsphere thing. I shall PM you.

Alas, you have my attention. How may I be of service? Ill provide ideas I suppose. Will you add the Centurions from DotNW as well? You could have them implemented as mobs, and hatch from the centurions' cores. Centurions cores should be found in randomly generated dungeons, one of each element per map.
This thread deserves more activity D:But just a suggestion, maybe you could make the Sorcerer's Ring that could activate things like redstone,like a beacon or something? Maybe even some of the variations? Keep up the good work! I still cant wait to see what happens with this.
I like that idea, if I can figure out how to make it happen, it will happen. Ill have to make the orb things you hit, to trigger the RS

Maybe a midi track or two, but nothing full detail. Midis are generally person made, while the actual audio is copyrighted in what not

Oooo love for DNW, hmmm... I suppose theres no harm in adding them if I can. I believe I'll have them function like pets. Once they die they return to either where you found them, or an alter. (prehaps dungeons will gain a 5% chance of having a core pedestal in it?)
Hi Person! If you need help making a texture pack for this I've already started one for vesperia so just message me if you want a symphonia texture pack and I'll got to it!
