While Tales of Symphonia doesn't feature traditional character creation, you will be able to customize your party members through various means. This includes equipping different weapons, armor, and accessories, which directly impact their stats and elemental resistances. Furthermore, each character learns several 'Tech Arts' – special abilities that can be assigned to different button combinations for quick access in battle. You'll also encounter 'EX Skills' later in the game, which allow for deeper customization of character growth and combat style. Experiment with different combinations to find what works best for your playstyle and the challenges ahead. Remember to regularly check new equipment and Tech Arts as you progress.
