About

Tales of Destiny 2 is a direct sequel to the Playstation's Tales of Destiny. The game's battle system retains the same fluid, fast-paced action combat of its predecessor Tales of Eternia, but adds a range of experimental features including a stamina gauge and a fairly high level of character, equipment, and skill customisation.

What players say

A direct sequel cherished in Japan for its fast, refined 2D battle system that's among the hardest in the series, paired with a mature, bittersweet time-travel love story centered on Kyle. It feels demanding and emotionally weighty, a cult favorite rarely localized for the West.
