Over 1, years prior to Tales of Destiny , a comet collided with the unnamed planet on which the game occurs, ushering a long and enduring winter. The survivors, desperate for the light of the sun, harnessed Lens, an energy source they found in the remains of the comet, to create Dycroft, a flying city. Eventually, the residents of the flying cities came to dominate those who remained on the surface using a powerful weapon called Belcrant, and the Aeth'er Wars began as a result.
The team of scientists who created Belcrant defected to the side of the surface-dwellers and developed powerful Lens-based weapons called Swordians, sentient swords, on their behalf. The Swordian Masters, empowered by the Lens flowing through their Swordians, then destroyed all of the flying cities and sunk Dycroft into the ocean, ending the Aeth'er Wars. The Swordians lay dormant for centuries until conflict emerged for possession of an enormous Lens known as the Eye of Atamoni, ultimately orchestrated by the defeated, but never truly killed, ruler of Dycroft.
Stahn Aileron, a young man on a journey for fame and fortune, happened to find the Swordian Dymlos, setting him on a course to save the world from impending disaster. However, the surface world had been extensively damaged by the Belcrant weapon during the recent conflict, leaving a number of cities in ruins.
Tales of Destiny 2 begins with Kyle, son of the hero of the previous game, embarking on a quest to save the orphanage that his parents operate from financial ruin. During his quest, he finds a giant Lens, from which a mysterious girl named Reala emerges and claims to be in search of a hero. Believing it his duty to become the kind of hero his parents were, he follows Reala to prove himself as the hero she seeks.
Partway through the story, a large quantity of Lens is stolen from the king's treasury by the holy maiden Elrane. Throughout the story, Elrane has been accumulating power and influence by claiming to be able to solve the world's problems through magical means, using the Lens. As Kyle pursues Elrane, she captures Reala. After Kyle defeats Elrane and rescues Reala, she realizes that Kyle is the hero that she has been seeking. Kyle proceeds to destroy the Draconis, the war ship used to steal the Lens from the king.
However, the Lens was still in the Draconis when it was destroyed. The destruction of the Lens causes a temporal rift to appear, sending Kyle and Reala to an alternate timeline. In this timeline, the Aeth'er Wars, a war fought 1, years ago between the surface-dwellers and the people living underground, was won by the subterranean people instead of the surface-dwellers.
The remnants of humanity live in cities scattered across the world. After a confrontation with Elrane, in which Kyle is forced to flee due to her unmatched power, Reala uses her pendant to help them escape. The pendant sends them 1, years in the past, during the Aeth'er Wars. After helping end the war with a victory for the surface-dwellers, Kyle and Reala travel to various other time periods to correct other disturbances to the timeline.
Ultimately, it takes the death of the goddess Fortuna, who is providing Elrane her power, to correct the timeline altogether. Upon Fortuna's death, the timeline is restored to normal, but Reala has ceases to exist, as she was a direct product of the goddess.
The protagonists also lose their memories of the adventures they experienced, as if they never happened, which includes Stahn being still alive in the epilogue because Barbatos Goetia never interfered with the original timeline events. In the epilogue, Kyle visits the location where Reala first appeared to him. When Kyle begins to leave, Reala emerges from a bright light. Kyle recalls her name, and Reala jumps toward him with joy upon their reunion.
Tales of Destiny 2 employs the Tales series' characteristic style of combat, the Linear Motion Battle System, in which the player controls the characters in real-time, and the characters perform actions on a two-dimensional field. This iteration of the battle system is known as Trust and Tactical Linear Motion Battle System TT-LMBS , and it is designed to encourage the player to think more about coordinating the characters to make combat more efficient.
One of the ways this is achieved is by the introduction of the Spirits System. Tales of Destiny 2 also employs an auto-zoom feature in combat, which becomes standard in future Tales series games.

Kyoufu Member. Oct 26, 14, Will keep an eye on this. Nairume SaGa Sage Member. Oct 25, 5, It's been so long, I was starting to thinking this would never happen. Oct 25, 3, Uh huh. I'll start getting excited when one of them actually comes to completion.
Oct 25, Somehow, I didn't expect to pop in and find a thread on this. Hi yall! I'm the lead editor on this project so I can field questions, if anyone has 'em. Comandr Member. Feb 14, Oh man this is awesome. Was extremely disappointed when absolutezero dropped these translation projects.
Glad to see someone taking the time to give these games the attention they deserve and hopefully allow more people to experience them. Oct 27, 1, Oh wow, I'd given up hope on ever seeing this translated. Kewlmyc Avenger. Oct 25, 21, Thought that Destiny DC already had a translation patch being worked on.

BassForever said:. Absolute Zero Translation canceled their patch, to my knowledge nobody has picked it up since the. Alric Member. So awesome, and bizarre timing. I was just yesterday wondering if this game had an English patch yet and at least I know it's happening. BasilZero Member. You guys rock. I never thought this would happen! You guys are awesome! Thank you! Also, please consider doing Tales of Rebirth too. Omg you guys making this year for a great hope.
I know rebirth still has an active translation project with Stormyu, the discord is at a0t. Also a decent translation of Tales of Hearts R would be great!!! KOR blimey was that official translation bad…. I played this games years ago and beat them using a translation guide but its just not the same that way. Looking forward to playing through these again. Thank you so much for this! It has been years but finally we are close to playing this in full translation.
Keep up the good work, will be keeping an eye on you guys. Do you have any platform to take donations or something we can help? Just a question, is the PS2 version of the game the superior version? I ask this because from the screenshots it looks like the PSP version is preferred, but from what I saw the backgrounds are cropped from to widescreen, and I heard PSP has some slowdowns? Does the PSP version has many extras to make it a better experience?
