In Tales of Symphonia, follow Lloyd Irving through as he embarks on a grand adventure with his friends to restore mana back to the world of Sylvarant, a source of energy necessary for the survival. Like previous installments in the Tales series, Tales of Symphonia consists primarily of three major areas: an overworld field map, town and dungeon maps, and a battle screen. The overworld map is a 3D model, featuring a scaled-down version of the game's fictional world which the player travels through to reach the game's locations. For Tales of Symphonia Chronicles on the PlayStation 3, GameFAQs has 91 FAQs (game guides and walkthroughs), 139 cheat codes and secrets, 81 trophies, 1 review, 31 critic reviews, and 42 user screenshots. TALES OF SYMPHONIA takes the signature real-time battle system of the TALES OF role-playing games, allowing for direct control of their character through fast-paced tactical battles. Dawn of the New World advances the series' battle system by introducing a new monster recruitment feature that lets players capture more than 200 unique monsters and train them to participate in battles.

Plus 'very good chance' of Cave Story 2.

After defeating Curly, she will ask if the player wants to kill the Mimiga. You need to choose NO to advance the story. Following this, she will then ask if you want to trade your polar star for her machine gun. This is a very important decision, as saying no will allow you to obtain the ultimate weapon much later in the game (and be stuck with the polar star for now). On the other hand, the machine gun is really good at this point in the game (and it's still alright later, but the ultimate weapon is considerably better). At level 3 the machine gun will actually allow you to fly by shooting downwards to propel yourself. This is very useful in the Sand Zone.

Ultimately, it is still possible to get any ending with each of the weapons but if you are going for the best ending I would recommend NOT trading the Polar Star away because of the endgame difficulty. After you've made your choice, head inside the save room.

If you are playing the WiiWare, 3ds eShop (not Cave Story 3D) or Cave Story+ (Switch and Steam) versions of the game, you can find Curly's Panties hidden in this room to unlock the Curly's Story mode. There are blocks that can be passed through in the room and you can see the path that you need to go using the map.

The item is still there in other versions of the game but it does not unlock Curly Story. In the map below, the item is on the small tile that sticks out to the left on the right side.
