This must be the tenth time I've read this and I haven't reviewed? Let me share my love for this story... I LOVE THIS STORY!

Zelloyd is the best thing to ever happen to the gaming world. With that said-I adore your AU. AU's can be tricky to handle convincingly (and make likable) and you pull it off like a snap.

Oh gosh, amazing ;3;

And with DotNW, well I played it first so when I got around to playing ToS, I actually respected Colette because I saw the horror that is Marta. Uhg, I want to strangle that girl! But anyways, after playing the first game, in plot and character development, there was no comparison.

But I will admit, I'm a bit of a fag for RichterxEmil just because of playing DotNW first and not knowing that in comparison to ToS, it was a mangled abomination that must be burned in order to clean from the Earth.

Now brb, gotta go re-read the Zelloyd observation deck banter :)

Wow.

Just... wow.

This story was awesome, it had a nice flow to it, beautiful descriptions, and an interesting concept. You managed to portray the characters very well, and somehow make Zelos and Lloyd's relationship not move to fast, but still fit in a satisfying ending.

Kudos, this story is going in my bookmarks!

Uggh. Dno't get me started on DotnW, I agree with you on that! But this fic was really cool! I'm not too much for AU fics generally speaking, but this was really cool, and it really made me want to read more...so write more, dammit! lol

You did a very good job with character "self" in this AU. :] Even in the most outlandish (literally) scenarios, you make Kratos, Zelos, and Lloyd easily fit into your plots. Somehow you don't need to write out their histories because the dialogue that you provide for them shapes their classic personalities for the reader and recreates who they've always been.

I know that you're a big fan of Zelos, and you write him perfectly. He wasn't over-the-top - not any more over-the-top than Zelos is meant to be - and his style of banter with Lloyd was so easy to recognize.

And the father-son tension... I could practically touch it, it was so dynamic and THERE.

Good job, kind author. Keep 'em coming. :]
accident prone chapter 1 . 10/18/2009
ZOMG YOU ARE SO COOL. I can't believe someone hasn't written something like this before. -dramatic gasp- Can it...can it be? YES! IT'S AN ORIGINAL ZELLOYD FIC! :O

I really really really really loved this. I'm a total science fiction nerd TOO, and...man. Lloyd and Zelos just have zero luck, huh? Oh well. At least SOMETHING good came out of it. And now Lloyd and Zelos get to have "fun" on the moon. -immature snickers-

Oh, seriously, I am so pissed that they merged ToS and DotNW. First off, it means my profile says "author has written 13 (or whatever) stories. ALL FOR TALES OF SYMPHONIA HAHA WHAT A LOSER." At least before it said "Tales of Symphonia" AND "Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World." But seriously? Why would they even do such a thing? It's quite evil. It makes me sad. The monster that was DotNW shouldn't even be affiliated with ToS. Need proof? Look at Lloyd.

Okay, rant out of the way for now. It's frustrating. It makes me wanna kill something. LIKE THE CREATORS OF THAT AWFUL GAME. Grr. But this fic made me happy, so tis all good. :D
