Crossover. However, I just take the basic idea of the video game and transform it. Playing the game yields no spoilers whatsoever. Meaning, you don't have to have played the game to understand this story.
Pinkie Pie is the Priestess of Regeneration: she has to go on a dangerous quest to heal the world, so says the Princess Goddess Celestia. She will be accompanied by her teacher, crystal pony Twilight Sparkle, and the mercenary knight Captain Spitfire. She will need protection from the Desians (a mixed-blood race of half crystal pony, half non-crystal pony) who wish to continue the scarring of Equestria, as well as the monsters who guard each Element of Harmony. There are six elements, and all are required to unlock the path to a tower built by the crystal ponies: the Tower of Harmony.
However, the quest gets complicated. Pinkie Pie's best friends Rainbow Dash and Trixie Lulamoon (Twilight's younger sister), through a cruel twist of fate are banished from their home village because they'd accidentally initiated an attack by the Desians. And, what's more, the five encounter a global conspiracy. The Exspheres, crystals that give you great power necessary to collect the Elements of Harmony, are actually made by draining the love and happiness out of ponies, ultimately killing them.
On top of that, they find that there is another whole world they didn't know existed. An assassin who had been trying to kill the Priestess, Fluttershy, turns out to be a protagonist, who wanted only to protect her own world. They find a second priestess of this other world, Rarity. And two more ponies whose lives were destroyed by Exsphere research: Applejack- one whose eyes contain no life- and 'Big' Macintosh- one who binds himself because of a past sin.
The one ultimately responsible for all the suffering is Night Mare Moon, the grieving sister of the Goddess who sleeps, Celestia. Can the ragtag protagonists convince Nightmare to redeem herself for all her wrongdoings? [Summary will be refined as the story is written]

Umm... Okay, just so you know, this isn't DeviantART. If you want to use italics or bold, you use [ ]'s here, not < >'s. just an FYI. *Goes back to reading*
Since when is there a Lloyd in the world of ponies?
All in all... nothing really noteworthy. I mean, I recognise that you can't really deviate from the overall plot right at the beginning of the story, but if I'm going to follow this, it needs to be more than just a re-telling of Tales of Symphonia with ponies. I already know the story forwards and backwards. Just... something to think about, if you haven't already.
All in all, can't really rate and/or fave this story, as there's nothing of that great... IDK. Just nothing really eye-catching to me, sorry. Good luck though!

His comp's busted, but it'll get fixed soon. In the mean time I do think he should have waited to publish this, the rest of us could have at least editted it for him... Oh well.
2316663 I'll fix the Lloyd thing (I KNEW I would make tht mistake somewhere...)
And it's not deviated much... YET! But it will, trust me. You just gotta wait a chapter or two. It's not a ToS retelling, it's an MLP story with ToS set pieces.
2316663 and one more thing, why in the HELL did Knighty program non-HTML language?
2317127 ... The hell do I know about programming?! I don't know! I only know that it uses the same kind of thingy as Pokefarm does, so I never worried about it! (Not angry, sorry. Realised in hind-sight it might read like I'm angry, and I'm not.)
All you need to know is that... your amazing
I finally get to see a tales of symphonia and MLP crossover thank you so much
cant wait for more
2317965 sorry, that wasn't rage to you. <> is normally used for text editing on the Internet. I mean, my dad's a software developer, I should know. Well, this sucks: I have to wait for my computer to be fixed before I can go back through, because the mobile editing on this site is a pain in the plot. Sorry for yelling at you.
2320313 since nobody else did it, I thought I might as well. I mean, I and my 6, 7, and 10 year old sisters LOVE ToS, and they LOVE MLP:FiM (they know Carrot Top, Colgate, Lyra/Bonbon, Vinyl, Octavia, and Derpy: bronies in training), so this is sort of for them as well. Think I should go for EQD so more ToS lovers could find it?
2322891 ... No, I never thought you were yelling at me. Even if you did, I wouldn't care. I was apologizing if it seemed like I was yelling or angry, since my post looked rather aggressive when I re-read it. So... No worries.
2322891yeah thats true.
You have caught my attention with this and I would like to see where you will take this story
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice by the way i love the Tales of... series
But who is Mythos?
With the advent of several seasons and movies worth of content coming out since I started this trainwreck of a crossover, and my marked improvement in writing ability since I started this, anyone reading this can fully expect a higher quality remake on my new page eventually.
