''Tales Of Destiny'' is the second entry in the ''[[Tales (series)]]'' of [[Eastern RPG
Stahn Aileron is a typical countryside boy who dreams of one day becoming a famous hero. Eager to [[Jumped At the Call|jumpstart]] his heroic career, he stows away on the [[Global Airship|dragon-ship]] Draconis with the aim of travelling to the nation's capital and enlisting as a knight. En-route, the ship is attacked by monsters, and struggling to find a weapon to fight them off with, Stahn stumbles across an old sword in a storeroom. Suddenly the sword [[Talking Weapon|starts to talk to him]], calling itself Dymlos and claiming to be one of the ancient and powerful Swordian weapons created over a thousand years ago during a world-spanning conflict called the War Between Heaven and Earth.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Rutee, Mary, Chelsea, and Lilith.
* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]]: Mary.
* [[Anti-Grinding]]: In the original, a popular power-leveling technique was to set all your characters to "Auto", tape the control stick down so your characters ran in circles, and let the game play itself. Try this in the remake, and Barbatos [[
* [[Awesome Yet Impractical]]: Attempting to cast any spell with the character you're currently controlling, except for fast-casting ones. Whatever character you're controlling (usually Stahn) makes a great tank for keeping enemies off of your other party members (like Rutee, who is usually the healer). The CPU-controlled party members, not so much. Any hit, no matter how small, interrupts your spellcasting. This leads most of the swordians' spellcasting ability to go to waste, especially a few of Dymlos's spells. You would deal a lot more damage with Stahn's physical special attacks while having Dymlos equipped as his swordian, than you ever would having Stahn equipped with anything else and having someone else using Dymlos to cast spells. Unless, of course, you're in an area with Fire-immune enemies....
* [[Art Evolution]]: Compare Inomata's character artwork between the original PSX game and the [[PlayStation 2]] remake. It's almost like they hired an entirely new artist. (Ten years of improvement will do that.)
Line 127:
* [[The Wise Prince]]: Woodrow/Garr.
* [[Action Girl]]: Nanaly, without a doubt.
* [[Anti-Magic]]: Barbatos is just one big Anti-Everything That Could Help You. If you cast a spell, he counters with a spell of his own (and is invincible during his casting period). If you use an item, he counters with a [[Limit Break]] that is literally called, "Never use items!".
