Characters

Ickx Neve

"Suddenly telling me I'm a Mirror Knight... I don't understand! Asking me to save the world? That's something beyond even my wildest imaginations!"

  • Voiced by: Natsuki Hanae
  • Gender: Male
  • Age: 17
  • Height: 178cm
  • Weight: 68kg
  • Class: Mirror Knight
  • Having lost both his parents when he was just 5 years old, Ickx was raised by and has lived among islanders. Because of this, he has a strong, independent mind that extremely fears burdening others. This gives him the tendency to act tough despite actually needing assistance. Though he comes from a family line of Mirror Knights, having lost both his parents because of their research on Magic Mirrors, he has viewed the power as something too strong to handle that will only bring calamity. Since then, he has lived a life that would have nothing to do with Magic Knights or Magic Mirrors. Somewhat a negative thinker, he has a tendency to imagine the "worst case scenario" whenever something happens.

Mileena Weiss

"Whatever you need to know about being a Mirror Knight, you can ask me! I'm still your senior at this, even by a little bit!"

  • Voiced by: Haruka Terui
  • Gender: Female
  • Age: 18
  • Height: 162cm
  • Weight: 42kg
  • Class: Mirror Knight
  • Born into a family of Mirror Knights, talented Mileena has been polishing her skills as one ever since she was young. She is Ickx's childhood friend. She has a motherly personality and acts like an older sister to Ickx, doing various favors for him such as cooking. Her feelings are profound and holds a face that easily imbues emotions onto others. While Ickx can be negative, Mileena is as positive as she can possibly be. Though she tries her best to hold dignity as the older one, she has a tendency to become gentle towards Ickx.

  • Voiced by: Hiroaki Miura
  • Gender: Male
  • Age: 23
  • Height: 180cm
  • Weight: 69kg
  • Class: Great Gunblade Swordsman?
  • A resourceful warrior after Ickx's life. Using a special weapon that is a mix of a gun and a great sword, Mark shows mastery in both long distance and melee fighting, further exhibiting his lengthy experience in the battlefield.

  • Voiced by: Yuriko Yamaguchi

Garows Outsorrow

She is able to access other worlds deep within her mind, causing her to sometimes have varying expressions and personalities. She holds loyalty for both Mileena, her master, and Ickx as well.
  • For now, a few Tales characters have been confirmed in the trailer, as well, namely Tales of Vesperia's Yuri Lowell, Tales of Graces/Graces f's Sophie and Tales of the Abyss's Luke fon Fabre.

Battle System

Advanced Flick Linear Motion Battle System (ADF-LMBS)

Bringing the 3D Tales battles to smartphones, the new system allows regular attacks with the tap of the screen and the use of artes with a flick of it. Using the Chain Capacity (CC) as a base, the battles have evolved letting you combo attacks, artes and special unique Magic Mirror Artes for a free and fulfilling experience.

Magic Mirror Artes are inherent and unique to each character. Voices used for this (I'm assuming lines?) are all unique and entirely new, even those of previous Tales characters.

Magic Illustrations

In special Magic Illustration battles, you can gain special Magic Mirrors that can be equipped. Once equipped, the memories of those who own them will show special illustrations - also drawn by WIT Studio.

There are also scenes and quests to watch, along with a 3D world map, dungeons and treasures to find. In addition, the game will have a bit of original music from Motoi Sakuraba and Go Shiina, as well as some old Tales tracks making comebacks.

Pre-registration for both the iOS and Android apps have begun in Japan. Once signups reach 50,000, pre-registrants will get Tales of Graces f future arc costume for Sophie. Once 100,000 signups are reached, all pre-registrants will get 20 Dia (in-app currency).
