A ton of new information on the upcoming mobile entry in the
Tales of series,
Tales of Crestoria, was revealed by Bandai Namco.
Multiplayer Raid Battles:
Players will be able to team up with their friends in raid style battles where your characters will need to come together to topple a strong foe. Winning said confrontations will net each player with rewards that can be spent to outfit and improve their team.
Communicating with your teammates will be paramount if you want to win, though, and luckily
Tales of Crestoria will allow you to use text and stickers to send messages to the rest of your team. Depending on your performance in the fight, players will be rewarded with varying levels of “Contribution Points,” though it isn’t clear just yet what these points are for.
Battle System and Break Mechanics:
One aspect of combat that was fleshed out a bit in the new information was the “Break” mechanic. When enemies begin to ready special attacks, a bar will appear along with a countdown timer, and it will be your job to deal enough damage before the timer reaches zero and the attack triggers. It will put the enemy into the Break state. While in this state, the enemy will be stunned, and any attacks used on them will land as a critical!
Memoria Stones:
In essence, what
Crestoria’s gacha system is called. Characters from both previous
Tales of games and
Crestoria can be pulled randomly, each sporting different ranks of rarity, which adds them to your team.
The rarer of a pull, the better stats, and abilities the character will have. The highest rarity is SSR, and these are the versions that include that character’s Mystic Arte attacks. You can also equip Memoria Stones on an existing character to strengthen them and activate skills. Players will receive SR versions of main protagonists Kanata, Vicious and Misella by going through main story mode.
Tales of History:
A particularly cool feature that they revealed was the Tales of History, a repository of information on the series games and characters, including those titles that have yet to receive a western localization such as
Tales of Rebirth and
Tales of Eternia Online. The Tales of History feature will be a fantastic resource to introduce more modern
Tales of fans to earlier entries they could very well be unaware of existing.
Official Manga Guide:
Tales of Crestoria will also be getting an official manga guide.
