The game, set in thefantasyworld of Inferia, follows the story of a young hunter named Reid Hershel and his friends, Farah and Keele, as they meet a mysterious girl named Meredy who speaks an unknown language. Their subsequent quest to discover her origins leads them across a dimensional boundary to an entirely different realm known as Celestia, where they become involved in an age-old conflict between the two worlds.Tales of Eterniawas mostly well-received during its initial release, and sold approximately 873,000 copies worldwide. It would later inspire a 13-episodeanimeproduced byXebecloosely based on the game's plot.
Gameplay
editThe game plays similar to otherTalesgames, following the precedent set by previousrole-playing video gamesin general as well.[4]An overworld map is used to navigate from one location to another in the game's fictional world. Cities and towns, which are populated withNPCs,are valuable sources of information, for either triggering events that move the plot forward, or extra information that fleshes out the game's story and setting. Additionally, city merchants will exchange Gald, the in-game currency, for items or equipment that can be vital to completing the game. Progress can be saved at any time - a first for the series,[5]and the player can also learn recipes throughout the game, using them to cook status-enhancing or healing food out of combat.[6]
Battles with enemies are done through theLinear Motion Battle System,a hybrid fighting system that combines fighting game and traditional role-playing game elements.[6]Movements and attacks are done in real-time, with the fighting being compared to theStreet Fighterseries.[7]Much like its predecessors,Tales of Eterniagives the player a large degree of control over computer-controlled allies and the techniques they use.
Since the player only directly controls one character at a time, all other characters are governed by the general rules ofAIbehavior set by the player before and during battle. During battle, the player can switch which character he or she is controlling, while issuing specific orders to other allies to execute certain techniques on command. The action can be paused to use different menus for things such as item. The game's menu screens can be used to organize and uses items, creates new magic spells, develops battle strategies, changes character equipment, and views character statistics.[8]Selected features from the menu screen, such as item use and AI settings, are available in battle, while other aspects are relegated to outside of battle.[8]
Plot
editSynopsis
editThe game follows Reid Hershel as he tries to prevent the Grand Fall, a cataclysmic event that would destroy his planet along with that of newly found traveling companion Meredy. Specifically, the Grand Fall entails the violent collision of twin planets Inferia and Celestia. The two planets face one another while being separated by the Orbus Barrier. Interaction between the two planets has been infrequent over the last few centuries despite their proximity; the Bridge of Light linked Inferia and Celestia in the distant past, but the link has been severed for an extensive period of time. The Aurora War, an ancient conflict that set Inferia against Celestia over two thousand years ago, continues to generate persistent mistrust between the two groups. The Orbus Barrier has shown recent signs of weakening and possible collapse due to the actions of an unknown external force.
The journey takes Reid across both planets, as he seeks out those responsible for this movement towards the brink of annihilation.

Development
editTales of Eterniawas first announced in a September 1999 press conference by representatives of Namco as the third game in theTalesseries,[15]and was later shown in non-playable form at theTokyo Game Showin March 2000.[16]Character design was handled by artistMutsumi Inomata,who had previously worked on the game's predecessorTales of Destiny,and features animated cutscenes byanimestudioProduction I.G.[15]Namco released a limited special edition of the game in Japan alongside its standard release known as theTales of Eternia Premium Box(テイルズ オブ エターニア プレミアム ボックス,Teiruzu Obu Etānia Puremiamu Bokkusu),which included character figurines, an art book, and a clock shaped like the character Quickie.[17]Players who preordered the game in participating Sofmap electronics stores also received an alarm clock featuring official artwork of the main cast.[18]
While eventually released under this name in Japan, when released in the North American region, the game was retitled toTales of Destiny II.[19]Some speculated the game was retitled to avoid trademark infringement on the word "Eternia", owned byMattelin North America for theMasters of the Universetoyline, but the game's creators stated it was done strictly for brand name and brand recognition reasons;Tales of Destinywas the first of theTalesgame to be released in North America, and they wanted to draw a clear connection between the two games.[20]The first game in theTalesseries,Tales of Phantasia,released in 1995 for theSuper Famicom,was not brought to North America until it was ported to the Game Boy Advance and released later in 2006, so for some time,Tales of Destinywas the beginning of the series for North American audiences. The naming choice would later cause further confusion after the release of thePlayStation 2game known asTales of Destiny 2,a genuine sequel toTales of Destinytaking place in the same fictional world.[21]Tales of Eterniais not actually directly related toTales of Destiny,and is a different game fromTales of Destiny 2for the PlayStation 2 in 2002.[22]
PSP re-release
editIn early 2004, Namco announced a port ofTales of Eterniafor thePlayStation Portablehandheld under the project codename "T.O.E."[23]A playable demo was featured at the 2004Electronic Entertainment Expoin Los Angeles in June,[21]and later at the 2004 Tokyo Game Show the following September.[24]The game itself was largely unchanged, although Namco did manage to greatly reduce loading times, eliminating the need for any "now loading" signs altogether.[22]Graphically, the game was altered to match the PSP's specifications. The field graphics were cropped, and the battles being redone in full widescreen,[25]and the frame rate was improved in the overworld map.[7]The Japanese version was purposefully released on March 3, 2005 (3/3) due to the game being the third unique title in theTalesseries.[23]
Namco only published the PSP version of the game in Japan;Ubisoftpicked up the game for distribution in Europe, and it went unreleased in North America.[26]The game, which had not been released in Europe prior to the PSP release, retained theTales of Eterniatitle, despiteTales of Destiny IIbeing used in the prior English language release in North America.[7]
Audio
editThe music ofTales of Eterniawas composed byMotoi Sakurabaand Shinji Tamura, who had previously collaborated on the soundtracks to bothTales of PhantasiaandTales of Destiny.[27]Its Japanese theme song, "Flying" was performed byJ-RockgroupGarnet Crow,[28]which was replaced in the English versions by an original orchestral piece.[29]
An official soundtrack was released in March 2001 byMarvelous Entertainmentcontaining 109 tracks from the game across two discs.[27]One month later in April 2001, Namco released a second soundtrack byMedia FactorycalledTales of Eternia Remaster Audio(テイルズ・オブ・エターニア リマスターオーディオ,Teiruzu Obu Etānia Rimasutāōdio),which featured the same tracks in slightly better quality and arranged in a more logical order closer to how they appear in the game itself.[30]A five-volumeradio drama albumseries calledDrama CD Tales of Eternia(ドラマCD “テイルズ オブ エターニア,Dorama CD Teiruzu Obu Etānia)was released between November 2000 and March 2001 byMovic,[31][32][33][34][35]as well as a two-volume drama series calledTales of Eternia: Labyrinth ~Forget-Me-Not~(テイルズオブエターニア Labyrinth~forget-me-not~,Teiruzu Obu Etānia Labyrinth ~Forget-Me-Not~)released from January to February 2002.[36][37]

The depth in the story and in the gameplay itself allow you to really play as you wish. "[6]In 2012,Game Informernamed Farah one of the best characters in theTalesseries, calling her "a loveable character with infectious energy."[55]
