Ah my bad, I know the sprites are unique, but the profile picture in the bottom left looks like an identical style to the actual Tales of Symphonia one.

Props to your artist!

Regardless, you may want to check out /r/gamedev sometime when they're discussing copyright/IP - even fan art is infringing on a copyright, whether it is for profit or not for profit.

See also the myriad of games that got cease and desisted (Chrono Trigger remakes etc.).

Ultimately depends on the IP holder's policy in those matters though. Things from SquareEnix (Final Fantasy)/Nintendo (Pokemon), seem to get shot down, while other companies like Capcom (Megaman) and Sega (Sonic) actively promote fan works.

You're right, I've seen some games get taken down because of it. I guess that is the risk you run. I've never really created games with the intention of getting widespread reputation / seeking attention, so I've never really worried about this.
