Tales of Symphonia and its sequel are prequels to Tales of Phantasia. Otherwise the only games that are connected are ones that have the same title with numbers (eg Xillia and Xillia 2).

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia', but only slightly less well known is this: 'never go in against an editor of Kotaku when death is on the line!' Ha ha ha!!"

Maybe he had a "complex steering" on..

Very good observation, but man—I'm gonna miss Garfield. He was a fantastic Spider-man.

I would assume that giving Sony 'final say' is just a way for Sony to keep a level of control over the character - control that they won't really use nor need. It's to protect themselves against Disney doing something really weird with the character or the story lines that will have a major impact on their own ability…
