Most of the complications of classical topology have to do with torsion phenomena, say by looking at homology with modulo p coefficients. In principle, the same is true for symplectic topology, but the implications are only beginning to be explored. A particular impetus is provided by mirror symmetry, which links symplectic topology with arithmetic geometry.
