''[[Tales of Rebirth (Video Game)|Tales of Rebirth]]'' is the sixth instalment of the ''[[Tales Series(series)]]'', released in 2004 for Sony Playstation 2.
 
It tells the story of a world where humans (Huma) and beastmen (Gajuma) co-exist in relative peace, having co-created the kingdom of Callegea long ago. Gajuma have the ability to use a magical power known as Force, which takes the form of a [[Elemental Powers|specific element or power]] depending on its host.
 
Our hero, Veigue Lungberg, was just a country boy living in the backwater village Sulz with his sweetheart Claire. That is, until the day that the Gajuma king of Callegea dies, triggering an event that causes [[Mass Super -Empowering Event|Huma worldwide to suddenly develop the power of Force]]. Veigue gains the [[An Ice Person|Force of Ice]], which immediately goes berserk and [[Human Popsicle|freezes Claire in a tomb of ice]].
 
One year later, he is visited by two travellers: Mao, a Huma with the Force of Fire and Eugene Gallardo, a Panther Gajuma with the Force of Steel. Mao manages to free Claire using his Force, but before they can get too comfortable she is kidnapped by a group of Kingdom soldiers. Veigue joins Mao and Eugene on a quest to rescue her and unravel the mystery behind the Force event. The plot later expands to involve [[Fantastic Racism]] and a good amount of [[Body Surf|Body Surfing]].
 
Veigue later receives help from other characters: Annie Barrs, a girl with the Force of Rain and a vengeful grudge against Eugene; Tytree Crowe, a [[Hot -Blooded]] labourer with a sister complex and the Force of Wood; and Hilda Rhambling, a mysterious fortune teller using the Force of Lightning.
 
Unfortunately, even after the PSP port, this game has never seen the light of day outside of Japan. But at least Eugene is playable in ''[[Tales of the World|Tales of The World: Radiant Mythology]]'', and Annie is an NPC. And with the localization of ''[[Tales of Graces (Video Game)|Tales of Graces]] F'', Veigue will also see a localized appearance.
 
------
{{tropelist}}
 
This game provides examples of:
 
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]] (Halves suffer this. Ask both {{spoiler|Hilda}} and Militsa)
* [[An Ice Person]] Veigue's force
Line 45 ⟶ 42:
* [[Fighting Your Friend]] (other than casual [[Heel Face Turn]], this game ''loves'' this trope. So much that you fight each of your party members seperately at different points of the game.)
* [[Final Solution]] ({{spoiler|The main goal of Zilva is to eradicate all Huma}}.)
* [[Five -Man Band]]
** [[The Hero]]: Veigue
** [[The Lancer]]: Mao
Line 53 ⟶ 50:
* [[For the Evulz]] (Saleh, a type of guy who for no better reasons... just LOVE doing evil things and trampling on hope and love)
* [[Four Is Death]] (The Four Stars of Callegea)
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]] (When Veigue almost lost it, Tytree takes him to a beach... and then incites a fistfight with him so he got better. Veigue later repeats it on [[Tales of Eternia (Video Game)|Reid]] in the Viva Tales bonus DVD)
** Note that Reid had done nothing to actually deserve this, it was merely Veigue taking things way out of proportion.
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]] ({{spoiler|Yuris, depending on your interpretation}}, when you think about it, it came out of nowhere and was only mentioned by the last parts of the story)
* [[Grand Theft Me]] ({{spoiler|Agarte manages to switch bodies with Claire at the [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle|fake ending]], and much of the remaining plot is spent trying to switch them back once Veigue figures it out. In the past, Zilva also pulled this on Doctor Barrs in order to poison the king and get Eugene exiled.}})
* [[Half -Human Hybrid]] ("Half"s, who are half-Huma, half-Gajuma and universally discriminated against. Militsa of the Four Stars is a Half, as is {{spoiler|Hilda}}.)
* [[Hate Plague]] (The {{spoiler|influence of Yuris}} in the second half of the game causes all Gajama to irrationally develop prejudice against Huma, sometimes to murderous extremes.)
* [[Hot -Blooded]] (Tytree)
* [[Ill Girl]] (Not exactly inflicted with a terminal disease, but Annie plays this part during one arc)
* [[Ironic Echo]] (Early in game, Mao pretended that Eugene is his servant. Late in game, Eugene pretended that the whole team is his servant. For situational uses. There's also a skit detailing this.)
** Also counts as a [[Brick Joke]].
* [[Keet]] (Mao)
* [[Lions and Tigers Andand Humans, Oh My!]]
* [[The Load]] (Claire. Main heroine, but NEVER participates in battle, even when she's tagging along. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] because she has no Force and no combat training.)
* [[Love Makes You Evil]] ({{spoiler|Agarte}}, whose plan is motivated by her love for {{spoiler|Milhaust}}.)
* [[Manipulative Bastard]] (Tohma, who {{spoiler|pretty much made up Hilda's past and uses them to break her oh-so-many-times}}. There's also {{spoiler|Zilva, the bitch that orchestrated the death of Ladras and framing of Eugene, then manipulates Agarte into starting her body-switching plan. All so Zilva can take over Callegea and eradicate all Huma.}})
* [[The Medic]] (Annie, being a doctor's daughter and all)
* [[My Country, Right or Wrong]] (Milhaust)
* [[Names to Know Inin Anime]]:
** [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]] - Veigue
** [[Akeno Watanabe]] - Mao
Line 78 ⟶ 75:
** [[Shinichiro Miki]] - Milhaust
* [[Noble Top Enforcer]] (Mainly Milhaust, but before exile, Eugene is also this)
* [[Onee -Sama]] (Annie thinks Hilda is one. Tytree is also rumored to be interested in her because of this, and his sister complex)
* [[Panthera Awesome]] (Eugene)
* [[Perpetual Frowner]] (Veigue)
Line 87 ⟶ 84:
** In fact, it was actually used in the Bonus DVD for the PSP release to make a brand new Hi-Ougi for Veigue and Tytree, Mugen Zekkyougin. The only problem was it left their allies' ears bleeding.
** Lampshaded by Saleh during an boss battle:
{{quote| '''Veigue:''' Saleh! Where's Claire?!<br />
'''Saleh:''' Claire, Claire, Claire, Claire- You sound like an idiot! }}
* [[Ship Tease]] -- Veigue and Claire. Agarte and Milhaust. Tytree and Hilda. Even a tiny bit of Anne and Eugene (though that has [[Interspecies Romance|weird implications]]). {{spoiler|And despite all that, only Agarte and Milhaust reach any resolution, with everyone else in Status Quo, altough side material more or less scream the obvious fact that Veigue and Claire are together. Oh, and Agarte dies in the end, so... no [[Official Couple]] for you!)}}.
* [[Smug Snake]] (Saleh has the makings of a [[Complete Monster]], but he just... doesn't take much actions. Unlike Tohma.)
* [[Super -Powered Evil Side]] (Anyone with a Force risks going into a berserk rage if they lose control of their emotions, requiring a dose of [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]. Eugene has the worst case of this, as {{spoiler|the influence of Yuris means he is at constant risk of going berserk, even after the party brings him under control the first time}}).
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] (Tytree delivered one to Saleh. Unfortunately, Saleh is too thick-headed to listen.)
* [[Unstoppable Rage]] (You go into this if your Force go out of control)
* [[You Killed My Father]] (Annie intends to get revenge on Eugene for this.)
