Key Features

• Story & Setting
  For 300 years, the planet Rena has ruled over Dahna, exploiting its people and resources. The game begins with Alphen, a masked Dahnan slave with no memories, and Shionne, a Renan woman immune to certain powers of their oppressors. Together, with a cast of allies, they strive to break free and usher in a new era.
• Explorable & Immersive World
  Travel through diverse environments—burnt and ravaged lands, snow-covered regions, rivers, forests. Do more than just fight: camp, cook food, discover hidden treasures, and interact with the world around you.
• Combat System
  An updated action combat system that keeps core elements of past Tales games. New mechanics such as Boost Strike allow combining party members’ skills for powerful team attacks. Chain Artes, perform boosted attacks, and execute combo moves to take down tougher enemies.
• Visuals & Style
  The art style leans heavily on anime and watercolor-inspired aesthetics. Environments and characters are finely detailed, with effects reflecting time of day, weather, and atmospheric mood.
• Single-Player & JRPG Experience
  Designed for solo play. Focus is on narrative, character development, dialogue, and emotional arcs. No multiplayer component.
