Tales of Phantasia/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fan Translation: DeJap's version of the SNES version that came out so long before the official one that many fans go berserk when anyone uses any of the official English names.
  • Hey, It's That Voice!: The singer of the OVA's opening and closing songs is Masami Suzuki, a lesser-known voice actress; her most notable roles include Lal Mirch and Princess Amelia.
  • Marth Debuted in Smash Bros: Cress and Arche made their Western debuts in 1998 - in a cameo in Tales of Destiny, eight years before the GBA port finally got translated outside of Japan.
  • No Export for You: This game languished in Japan for years due to Namco not wanting to touch 2D games that "wouldn't sell." It took Nintendo slapping a five dollar localization onto the GBA version to allow western audiences to play a non-fan translated version of the game. The original SFC, PSX remake, and PSP extra-enhanced versions have not officially seen the light of day in the west.
  • The Other Darrin: Dhaos's first voice actor, Kaneto Shiozawa, died. Toshiyuki Morikawa took over.
