It's that time of the year again! We're inviting everyone to Abyssal Chronicles' Tales of Magic Carta Contest! Get a chance to win a Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition Anniversary Edition/Premium Edition!
As the title suggests, this year's contest borrows elements from the carta game found within Tales of Graces, (which also eventually got a physical version called Tales of Magic Carta).
We have prepared a set number of images that look like cards, each bearing a quote from a specific Tales character. With the quotes given, your task is to guess which specific character said the specific quote given in the card. It may seem easy, but some quotes can be pretty hard, so do your best!
***Take note: The game only includes quotes from Tales games LOCALIZED IN ENGLISH. That includes mobile and escort titles, as well.
But first off, here are the prizes we have in store! Many, many thanks to Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe for helping us out with the prizes!

2. Presea Combatir – Tales of Symphonia
3. Luke fon Fabre – Tales of the Abyss
4. Reid Hershel – Tales of Eternia
5. Chester Burklight – Tales of Phantasia
…
Each correct answer corresponds to a point (i.e. one point for the character name PLUS one point for the game they're from), giving you the grand total of 60 points for a perfect entry.
Again, please send your entries to contests@abyssalchronicles.com! Contest duration is from December 17, 2018, 12 noon GMT until January 7th, 2019 at 12 noon GMT! Entries beyond that time will no longer be honored!
Winners will be ranked based on the number of correct answers, so take your time! The more correct answers you have, the bigger your chances of winning! And well, if a lot of people get perfect scores, we will choose the winners from there via random draw.
And for our patrons from our Patreon, all of you who submit entries get double entries, meaning your submissions count as TWO entries! (That is, should you get a perfect score if many people get perfect. We will still follow the highest score in this regard). If it weren't for our dear patrons who've supported AC up to this point, then the site wouldn't be going another year not only for domain costs, but (the highly expensive *cough*) Sucuri protection as well. NOTE that this will only be applicable for the active patrons who've made a payment before December 2018. Meaning, even if you sign up now for our Patreon, it doesn't mean you'll get the privilege of the double entries that the current active nineteen (19) patrons are getting.
Rules and Specifics
Now, before you do jump into this contest, please note a few house rules:
- Do not attempt to submit multiple entries under multiple e-mails. We will know, and we will ban you from any of our future contests whatsoever. That said, all people noted to have cheated in our past contests with multiple email entries are automatically filtered out from this contest.
- You may only submit one entry, and have only one chance of sending an entry. "Updating" or "amending" answers is a big no no.
- Please refrain from giving out answers to others, even if it's family or friends whatnot. Though we know you're just trying to help, you're compromising the integrity of the contest.
- Only one entry per household, sorry. Please just work with your family if all of your siblings for example also want to join.
- Winners should be willing to give their full name, address and phone number for shipping purposes (does not apply for those who will get Steam codes only). We will not accept having items shipped to a friend because you "plan to split the prize" or something.
- You are free to work with others offline or online via forums, Facebook, Reddit, Tumblr, etc. but like I said above, please do NOT blatantly just post the answers. Work with others, you can give hints, but don't give everything away!
And some points to take note of:
- Steam codes might not include pre-order bonuses (if there are any for the game at all).
- The Grand Prize and 1st Runner up premium editions of Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition are for the PlayStation 4 version only.
- Grand prize winner will get a PS4 Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition Premium Edition and will get to choose if it's the US version or the EU version - The US version is from Abyssal Chronicles, while the EU version is provided by Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe.
- 1st Runner Up winner will get a PS4 Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition Premium Edition that is from the EU region, regardless of what region they are from.
- 2nd and 3rd runner-up winners will get either a US or EU edition of Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition and the region will be depending on where they live. If they live outside of the US or EU jurisdiction, they are free to choose which region they want. They are also free to choose whether the copy they want is for the PS4, Xbox One or Switch.
- Depending on availability, we cannot guarantee pre-order bonuses (should there be any) for 2nd and 3rd runner-up winners.
- There will only be one shirt design with one shirt color, but will be available in different sizes. They are made to order.
- Parts of prizes per tier may be shipped out from different locations. We apologize for the inconvenience.
- Your country may charge you customs duties for the prizes, depending on the country. AC will not be responsible for any customs duties that may be charged.
- Due to the nature of the accumulation of prizes, expect delivery at either the mid February 2019 to early March 2019.
- The contest is open to anyone in the world!
But note that the Steam code will not work with Japan.We confirmed with Bandai Namco and the Steam codes will actually work in Japan!

Tales of Vesperia is the tenth mothership title of the series initially released for the Xbox 360. The Japanese and North American English localization release dates of the game were within the same month, a first in the entire series. It later got ported to the PlayStation 3 with additional features, but this never got an English release. An updated version known as “Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition” will be released for both Japan & the West in Winter 2018. Vesperia tells the story of Yuri, a former Imperial Knight. A movie called Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike was later released which tells the story of Yuri prior to the game’s events.
