For this guide, we will be exploring the mothership titles in order of release. This beloved series has so much to offer RPG fans and, given its legacy, there are so many unique starting points for newcomers who may be interested in exploring the franchise further. Although high fantasy has been the primary backdrop for many of the games, the series has created numerous worlds and considered technological advances to allow the writers to truly explore these themes to their fullest. The core themes the series likes to explore include coexistence between different races, parallel worlds, racism, and even classism. The base Linear Motion Battle System (LMBS) transforms with each game, and over the years there’s certainly been some unique experimentation. While not every game is equal in these elements, they are the core of what gives the Tales series so much impact. By and large, every game features a delightful cast of characters and villains, characters have great chemistry, and action combat slaps. The Tales series has a few distinct trappings that keep people coming back. On top of the game releases, there have been anime, manga, and CD dramas, as well as frequent character polls to keep the franchise well within the public eye. As of 2022, the mothership series has spanned seventeen games that have constantly kept it fresh, while a number of spin-offs and mobile titles - generally designated as “escort” games - have given fans plenty of additional content to enjoy. When Tales of Phantasia released in Japan in 1995, no one knew it would become as influential as it has, and enjoy longstanding growth for over 27 years. As one of the longest-running RPG franchises, the Tales series has had an amazing evolution over the years.
