I get that the neko girl is a sort of overdone trope at this point, but at this point it's one of Lia's defining traits alongside her heterochromia. She's going to have many incarnations, but it's these two things about her I want to keep in every version of her I make if I can.
Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X should have been included in the Tales of Symphonia Chronicles with Symphonia and Dawn of the New World.
All 4 games share the same world and Dawn only exists to explain why things work in Phantasia.
