Tales of Escort Series Games In Order

Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon

Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon was the first sequel in the Tales of game series, which was unheard of at the time. It was released on the Game Boy Color in 2000, five years after the original Tales of Phantasia. The story follows a pair of twins, Mel and Dio, as they travel through time and fight against their own dark doppelgangers, Meltia and Dios. Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon has a unique job system based around putting on different costumes that provide different skills.

Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X (pronounced Narikiri Dungeon cross) is a remake of the game for the PSP. It includes a full remake of the original Tales of Phantasia, called Tales of Phantasia X. Sadly it only came out in Japan, all the way back in 2010.

Tales of the World: Summoner's Lineage

Tales of the World: Summoner's Lineage is the second sequel to Tales of Phantasia. It takes place 411 years after the future from the original Tales game. It follows Fulein Lester (the descendent of Cress Lester) as he recruits the Heroes of Time to defeat magical beasts that are attacking the nation.

Tales of the World: Summoner's Lineage is a turn-based strategy RPG that was released on the Game Boy Advance in 2003. Like most 'Escort' Games in the Tales of series, it never left Japan.

Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2

Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2 continues the costume-based gameplay of Narikiri Dungeon, but not the story. It follows apprentice blacksmith Frio Sven and his friend Kyaro Orange as they fight against the evil Thanatos, a mysterious being that wants to cleanse the world of humans.

Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2 released in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance. It's another in the Tales of series that never left Japan.

Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3

Narikiri Dungeon 3 is another standalone Tales of the World game, but continues the costume-based gameplay of what at this point is a subseries. This time around the game is a turn-based strategy RPG similar to Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem, and brings together characters from Tales of the World, Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Destiny 1 and 2, Tales of Eternia and Tales of Symphonia to protect the timelines of the series from enemy thieves that would seek to ruin them by altering history.

Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 was released on the Game Boy Advance in 2005 and never left Japan. Currently, it is the last entry in the Narikiri Dungeon Tales of sub-series.

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology

Radiant Mythology is somewhat unique for the Tales series in that it allows the player to create their own protagonist. It is distinctly non-canon, as the game has several guest characters appear from Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Destiny, Tales of Eternia, Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Legendia, Tales of Rebirth and Tales of the Abyss —all without explanation.

Gameplay wise, Radiant Mythology plays like an MMORPG, except it's not multiplayer or online enabled. It is the only Tales of the World series entry that actually left Japan, releasing on the PSP in 2006 in Asia, and coming to the rest of the world in 2007.

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2

Radiant Mythology 2 expands upon the gameplay of the first Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology with more quests, extra character classes and a total of 50 guest characters from previous entries in the Tales of series. It was released on the PlayStation Portable in 2009, exclusively in Japan.

Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 3

Radiant Mythology 3 is the final entry in the Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology series. It has even more quests, character classes and now has 80 guest characters from older Tales of games. Bandai Namco released the game for  the PlayStation Portable in 2011, but, guess what, it never left Japan.

Tales of the World: Dice Adventure

Tales of the World: Dice Adventure was a browser based free-to-play board game based on the Tales of series. While it had a cute SD Chibi art style (like Theatrhythm Final Fantasy) it borrowed several elements from the roleplaying Tales entries and allowed players to build a party and even do battles against monsters.

This Tales of the World entry was only released in Japanese, but could be played by any person with a free Bandai Namco ID. Sadly It  no longer exists, as Bandai Namco took the game  offline on June 28, 2013.

Tales of the World: Tactics Union

Tales of the World: Tactics Union is a free-to-play tactical strategy game for iOS and Android. It plays similarly to Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem, with players taking command of several units and combat taking place in turns across a grid. Like other Tales of the World games, characters from many Tales of games make an appearance without much explanation.

This Tales of the World entry also tells a new story about adventurers called Terun and Nahato from the land of Revaila. In October 2014 the game was ported to Nintendo 3DS, under the title Tales of the World: Reve Unitia. Sadly, no version of the game was ever released outside of Japan.

Tales of the Tempest

Tales of the Tempest tells the story of Caius Qualls, a Leymon (shape-shifter werewolf) who's parents are abducted by the church. With the help of his outcast friends, he sets out to rescue his family and overthrow the religious ministry's pious tyranny.

Developed by external studio Dimps (of Sonic Advance fame), Tales of the Tempest was the first entry in the Tales of series released for the Nintendo DS. The game was poorly received due to its low quality overall.

Tales of Mobile

Tales of Mobile was a series of games released for the NTT DoCoMo FOMA 900i cellphone service from Japan. The games included in the range were Tales of Tactics, Tales of Breaker, Tales of Commons and Tales of Wahrheit. After the first few role playing games with unique stories and characters, they branched out into more traditional mobile game fare with Craymel Check, Craymel Lab, Groovy Arche, Klondike, Mieu no Daibouken, Reversi, Scramble Land, Tales of Quiz, Tales of Wonder Casino and Whis Battle.

Like many enties in the Tales series, none of the Tales of Mobile games were made available outside of Japan.

Tales of VS.

Tales of Versus is a crossover fighting game for the PSP that was released in 2009. Unlike the Tales of the World sub-series, Tales of Versus uses alternate versions of the characters from prior Tales games that now share the world of Dailantia, which is divided up into four kingdoms that fight each other for scarce natural resources. Namco Bandai deemed it necessary to keep Tales of Versus exclusive to Japan.

Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave

Tales of the Heroes: Twin Brave is a third person action adventure hack-and-slash combat game in the style of Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors franchises. Like the Tales of the World games, it allows players to play as past heroes and villains from Tales of series games with no real reasoning behind it other than pure fanservice. It came out in Japan on February 23, 2012 for the PSP, and never came to other regions. Quelle surprise.

Tales of Kizna

Tales of Kizna was a collectible card game RPG that came out on iOS and Android cell phones in November 2011. Cards were used to create adventuring parties that would battle monsters. The game had 'gacha' loot box elements where versions of characters in special costumes could be obtained. Players could also face off against each other. Tales of Kizna was only ever released in Japan, and was delisted in September 2014.

Tales of Card Evolve

Tales of Card Evolve was a collectible card game made for Japanese social media website GREE that featured several characters from across the Tales of game series. The game retold stories from the mainline Tales of series and allowed for players to work cooperatively to complete missions or play against each other. It was removed from the GREE service in September 2014 and is now no longer available.

Tales of Link

Tales of Link released on Japanese mobile devices in 2014, and then came to the rest of the world in 2016. It told the story of a character named by the player. The character would go on an adventure with a girl named Sara and a magical sprite named Lippy to seal the seeds of ruin and recover his memories. It was delisted in March 2018.

Tales of Asteria

Tales of Asteria is an episodic iOS and Android RPG game that started releasing content in 2014. The game is a crossover, where the player can choose from different Tales of series characters depending on the chapter. It is exclusive to Japan, but continues to see content updates even in 2021.

Tales of the Rays

Tales of the Rays is a crossover game with a new story written by Tales of Symphonia writer Takumi Miyajima. As a crossover, Tales of the Rays used characters from across Mothership, Escort and Mobile games in the Tales of series, and also introduced two new hero characters, Ix Nieves and Mileena Weiss. The game was released on iOS and Android in February 2017, but was removed from all global app stores in May 2018.

Tales of Crestoria

Tales of Crestoria was released on iOS and Android in 2020. It told a new story with a 'crime' theme and was advertised by teasing that all three of it's new party member characters had hidden dark secrets. It's main hero is a new character, Kanata Hjuger, who is proclaimed guilty of a crime after protecting his friend. Tales of Crestoria is notable for being the first franchise entry in the Tales of series that was released simultaneously around the world.

Tales of Luminaria

Tales of Luminaria is an upcoming mobile game for Android and iOS. It tells a new story but features the classic Tales of series gameplay style. It is set in a new world and features an all new protagonist, but we don't know much else about it.
