You can prepare Meals during the post-battle screen or via the “Cooking” option in the menus. Furthermore, every party member has different tastes and skills when it comes to Cooking, allowing them to add additional ingredients to a Recipe to give it an extra kick, making it better overall or, sometimes, much worse.
Cooking Overview
As covered above,Cookingis an essential part of Tales of Symphonia Remastered, with some members of your party being excellent chefs. In contrast, others need lots of work to make even the most basic Recipes taste good for the rest of your party. Before we get into the Recipes, let’s go over whothe best and worst cooksare in the game!
Despite the story pushing Regal as being the group’s best chef,Genisis actually thebest overalland by a considerable margin. Additionally, yourparty members are also a bit pickyregarding what they want and don’t want in their food, slightlyimpacting their Affectiontoward Lloyd.We covered all this and more in our Affection Guide, which you can find here,but the table below will give you a brief rundown of what everyone prefers in their dishes!
Not picky (never loses Affection)
Melon, Snapper, and Tuna
Indiferent (never gains or loses Affection)
Cucumber and Melon
Tuna
Tomato
They will either lose or gain one Affection Point per meal. This means that if Regal were to eat something with Cucumber and Melon in it, he would only lose one point rather than two. Additionally, if he were to consume something with Tofu and Cucumber, they would cancel each other out, having no points gained or lost.
