{{quote| A series of DVD extras given away with pre-orders for games in the series, featuring [[Tales of Symphonia (Video Game)|Zelos Wilder]] and [[Tales of the Abyss (Video Game)|Jade Curtis]] as talk show hosts interviewing various characters. [[Hilarity Ensues]].}}
* ''Tales of Theatre''

Line 96:
** One [[Combat Medic]]. Pure [[White Magician Girl]] characters are rare; the main female will always have some degree of combat training to go with her spellcasting and healing abilities.
** At least one [[Lethal Chef]].
* One [[Wham! Episode]] in the ''perfect center'' of normal gameplay (it is really that horrifyingly accurate). Said [[Face Heel Turn]] will also happen somewhere immediately before or after this time. [[Deconstruction]] will play a major part of the segment, but it will most likely not compare to the horror initiated. Due to this change in perspective, the [[Big Bad]] will end up becoming the [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] he will be properly known for.
* A [[Space Whale Aesop]] that brings together all the events of any given game in order to take a stand against some relatively minor (compared to world domination and/or destruction) social or moral issue.
* The Dark Wings, a trio of quirky thieves whose role is usually as comic relief.
Line 125:
** Herbs that can increase base statistics.
** The Sorcerer's Ring, an item that shoots small energy bolts and is used to solve puzzles. Its functions are usually upgraded as the story proceeds.
* "Grade" as an extra unit of currency that can (for all intents and purposes) be treated as the player's "[[Scoring Points|score]]". Grade is awarded after battle according to how well the player did, with Grade awarded for achieving long combos or blocking attacks, and Grade deducted for taking damage, using ineffective artes (such as a Fire-elemental arte on a Fire-resistant monster) or relying on recovery items. Grade awards bonus EXP in battle, but can also be used to purchase [[New Game
* A broadly-shared list of artes and spells. It's possible to tell how nostalgic a game is attempting to be by how closely it sticks to that list. Games such as ''Destiny 2'', ''Rebirth'', and ''Hearts'' tried to break out completely.
** The swordplay style used by the main character of ''Phantasia'' (and its accompanying moveset) would become synonymous with ''[[Tales Series]]'' main characters.
Line 141:
* An optional arena where you can take on a number of challenges, such as [[Solo Character Run|Solo Character Runs]] and [[Boss Rush|Boss Rushes]]. You can even end up fighting your own party members.
* A [[Chest Monster]] called the Fake which sometimes drops the All Divide.
* [[Shout
* [[Names to Know In Anime]]: An all-star Japanese Seiyuu cast, sometimes even doing minor characters, including '''[[Norio Wakamoto]]''', [[Hikaru Midorikawa]], [[Kikuko Inoue]], [[Takehito Koyasu]], [[Jun Fukuyama]], [[Takahiro Sakurai]], [[Tomokazu Seki]], [[Nana Mizuki]], [[Mamoru Miyano]], [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]], and so on...
** If it gets dubbed into English, there's lots of well known Californian voice actors too. Like [[Yuri Lowenthal]], [[Johnny Yong Bosch]], [[Crispin Freeman]], to name a few...
