Description
Characters: List of playable characters with Japanese/English names where applicable ...

Tales of Phantasia [Super Famicom] [Japan only] [ToP, ToP-SFC]
The legendary RPG that started it all. The game features some of the best graphics and music that its console could handle, a fully vocalized opening song, and a revenge-oriented plot that can stand alone but isn't meant to. It was unofficially translated by DeJap, if you don't mind some changes, exaggerations, and errors.
Characters: Cless, Mint, Arche, Klarth, Chester

Tales of Destiny [Playstation] [Japan, North America] [ToD, ToD1]
The first Tales title to be released in English. This indirect sequel to Phantasia made vast improvements to the battle system and is the first multiplayer Tales. It has a lot of technical issues, but its new features paved the way for future Tales. This game's story revolves around the Swordians--five sentient swords--and finishing a long-forgotten war. It had an APW Chat system that was chopped down to a useless little window in English version though.
Characters: Stahn, Rutee, Leon, Philia, Garr/Woodrow, Mary, Chelsea, Karyl/Johnny, Bruiser/Kongman

Tales of Phantasia [Playstation] [Japan only] [ToP, ToP-PSX]
A remake of Phantasia. The graphics were entirely redone, the vocals were all rerecorded and increased in quantity, there are new sidequests, new skills, new items, new FMVs, and even a new playable character who was previously an NPC. Even characterization was improved. (All the sequels are based on this version, so if you've only played the SFC version and you play ND2, ToF, or SamoRine, you may find yourself thinking, "Hey! Since when do these people have personalities?!")
Characters: Cless, Mint, Arche, Klarth, Chester, Suzu

Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon [Gameboy (Color)] [Japan only] [ND1]
This poor game is often mistaken for another remake, but it's actually a direct sequel, the first of the series. This takes place a hundred or so years after ToP. It details the story of two children who are born with a doomed destiny, and their lives intertwine surprisingly with the events that took place in Tales of Phantasia.
Characters: Dio, Mel, Couleur

Tales of Eternia [Playstation] [Japan, North America] [ToE, ToD2e, ToDII]
(IMPORTANT NOTE: this was renamed "Tales of Destiny II" when released in English. Not a sequel to ToD.) Even more battle system advancements accompany this story about the relationship between and impending doom of two coexisting worlds. Like ToP-PSX, it has a Face Chat system, but it was mostly removed in the English version.
Characters: Reid/Rid, Farah, Meredy, Keele/Keel, Chat, Max/Fog, Ras/Race

Tales of Fandom Vol. 1 [Playstation] [Japan only] [ToF, ToF1]
This is a puzzle game and fandisk. Characters from Phantasia, Destiny, and Eternia interact in a bunch of cute skits. Here's your source for character backstory.

Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2 [Gameboy Advance] [Japan only] [ND2]
Unlike the first Narikiri Dungeon, this game isn't really a direct sequel. Frio and Calo/Kyaro/Caro must save their world with the aid of a divine power and the heroes of Phantasia, Destiny, and Eternia. As with Tales of Fandom, it's interesting to see the characters interact, and the expressive method of storytelling makes it easy to tell what the characters are feeling even if you can't tell what they're saying.
Characters: Frio, Kyaro, the 22 characters from ToP, ToD, and ToE

Tales of Destiny 2 [Playstation 2] [Japan, Asia] [ToD2, ToD2j]
A direct sequel to Tales of Destiny. Don't confuse it with the North American release of Tales of Eternia, which was renamed Tales of Destiny II. Anyway, this sequel focuses on Kyle, the child of Stahn and Rutee. The game involves traveling to the future and the past and meeting new characters along the way.
Characters: Kyle, Loni, Reala, Judas, Nanaly, Harold

Tales of the World: Summoner's Lineage [Gameboy Advance] [Japan only] [SamoRine]
This direct sequel to Tales of Phantasia is a strategy/tactical/simulation and monster-training RPG. The game takes place on ToP's world in the year 4765, and the cute cast is lead by Fulein K. Lester, Klarth's great-great-great-[etc]-grandson. Fulein saves the world from a grudge-holding and power-hungry dragon, avenges the death of several different people's parents, and becomes a good summoner all at once.
Characters: Fulein, Macaron, Mark/Myra, Velga, Volga, Elmira, Cless, Mint, Arche, Klarth, Chester, Suzu, various monsters

Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 [Gameboy Advance] [Japan only] [ND3]

About English Release

Namco Bandai is the only reliable source for information on future North American localizations. If someone tells you that a certain Tales game is being released in English, you should remain skeptical until you see Namco Bandai confirm it. How is IGN, for example, supposed to know whether a certain game will be in English if the publisher hasn't even decided yet?

Games to Expect in the U.S.

Behold and be amazed; "Tales of the World" apparently is relate to ToS somehow. Look at the cool screens I found at IGN!

Fawkesedited: Turned them into links for ease of load. And check out the other thread Cyllya made.

I really am confused as to how they can continue the story after ToS, but I am REALLY looking foward to this. It seems Namco hasn't forgotten Nintendo after all. After hearing that "Chrono Trigger: Ressurection" was cancelled; this is definentally something I needed to hear to stop me from losing all hope in life.

That's strange...

In one of the pics, Lloyd is holding the Flamberge in his right hand. Last time I checked, Flamberge is a sword for Kratos or Zelos.

[YamiExodia]

Kratos gives Lloyd the Flamberge, and Dirk gives Lloyd the icy Vorpal sword. When Lloyd uses them the pair is known as the Material Blade.

To add on that list: Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3

Check out the info of that game on the other thread.

Judging by the quality of the screens, it's for GBA.
I wonder if it's got anything to do with Lloyd's journey to collect all the Exshperes in the world?
It's got Sheena and Lloyd in it so I'm happy!
Definately a must-get!

Go to the other topic for more details...basically Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 is a game that contains all Tales characters from the 5 games in a parallel world.

That way, they can still be the same characters but have a whole new story and stuff... wow...
