Tales of Festival 2019 introduces Tales of Arise's hero and heroine, Alphen and Shionne!
Tales of Festival 2019 Day 1 is in full swing, and honestly, we weren't expecting a new trailer this early, but here we are!
To those who missed the blog post from earlier, here are a few tidbits about the game:
- The story tells of two worlds, Dahna and Rena.
- Both character designs and the game's art direction are by Minoru Iwamoto, who also designed Zaveid and Edna from Tales of Zestiria and Eizen and Laphicet from Tales of Berseria.
The Hero and Heroine
Beautiful acrylic character panels of our hero and heroine that were on display at the venue after Day 1 of the Festival.
Alphen
アルフェン (arufen). Voiced by Takuya Satou. A man with an iron mask who has lost his memory and his capability to feel pain. Taking the sword of flame upon meeting Shionne, he fights in order to be free from Rena.
Shionne
シオン (shion). Voiced by Shino Shimoji. A girl who brings about a curse of thorns to those who touch her. She allies with Alphen with an ulterior motive and fights against her fellow people from Rena.
New Extended Trailer

Or if you prefer the official English sub, made available June 20th:
Tales of Arise's Story
There are two worlds that stand side by side – Dahna and Rena.
300 years ago, Dahna, a world full of life and nature, was invaded by the scientifically and magically advanced Rena, forcing them into endless slavery.
One day, a young man of Dahna with an iron mask, and a young woman from Rena being chased by her family, meet.
This unexpected encounter shakes the destiny of Dahna and Rena. This is the beginning of their story.
Thank you to Bandai Namco Europe for letting us be part of Tales of Festival once again!
