Tales of Mobile
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tales of Mobile (テイルズ オブ モバイル Teiruzu Obu Mobairu?) is the collective name of several mobile phone-based games available only to Japanese NTT DoCoMo FOMA 900i cellphone users that often feature characters and story elements from the popular Tales role-playing game series. As these games are offered as a download-only phone service in Japan, none of them have been made available outside of the country.

[edit] Tales of Breaker
Modeled closely after the conventional games of the Tales series, Tales of Breaker plays like a typical computer role-playing game, with the player advancing the plot by fulfilling a number of tasks given by non-playable characters and defeating several monsters along the way. The game utilizies the familiar Linear Motion Battle System (LMBS) that is featured in several other games in the series, which involves the characters moving horizontally across the battlefield, striking enemies only when they are close enough, with all the action happening in real-time.
The story follows the adventures of a young girl named Mika, who, along with her companions Bargah, Lulu, Yuuteki, Evaline, and Zahbar, must travel the world in order to stop a rising evil from engulfing the land.
[edit] Tales of Tactics
A strategy game similar to other turn-based tactical war games such as the Fire Emblem series, Tales of Tactics allows the player to take control of several characters from other Tales games and use their specific skills to battle enemies across several different boards. Among the recruitable characters are Cless Alvein from Tales of Phantasia, Judas, Kyle, Reala, and Loni from Tales of Destiny 2, Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia and Stahn from Tales of Destiny.
In addition to the normal game, Tales of Tactics also features several additional features as downloadable content, such as a puzzle-based minigame, a picture and movie gallery from several games in the Tales series, and wallpapers.
[edit] Tales of Commons
Tales of Commons is a roleplaying game that takes place in the world of Yupitel, and stars the 17-year old pair Alvin and Sefina. Like Tales of Breaker, it utilizes a variation of the Linear Motion Battle System. It was the first Tales of Mobile game to contain a theme song: Kana Uemura's Kiseki.
[edit] Tales of Wahrheit
Tales of Wahrheit is a role-playing game similar to Tales of Breaker and Tales of Commons. The main characters of the game are 16 year-old Seltz Vacstoum and Vira Shalheit. A theme song by JAMOSA called Ienaiyo accompanies the game.
[edit] Craymel Check
Craymel Check features characters known as "Craymels" (beings with considerable magical skill featured in several games in the Tales series) in a number of small mini-games. The artwork and character design of the craymels themselves are based on the ones from Tales of Eternia specifically.
[edit] Craymel Lab
Craymel Lab is a puzzle game that consists of the player moving falling blocks of different colors and shapes into an arrangement and making them disappear, similar in many ways to Tetris. Several character choices are available before the game begins, all of them being from a previous Tales game. Whichever character the player chooses determines what dialogue they will present as they play through the game's increasingly more difficult levels.
[edit] Groovy Arche
Groovy Arche is the same game featured in the PlayStation remake of Tales of Phantasia released only in Japan. The player must control the character Arche as she flies across a horizontally scrolling screen, moving up and down as well as side to side firing bolts of magic energy at enemies to defeat them. In each round, Arche can score more points by not only defeating a large number of monsters, but also by collecting several items that appear on the screen for a short amount of time. The game is over whenever Arche's health, indicated by the life bar on the top of the screen, is depleted.
[edit] Whis Battle
Nearly identical to the minigame featured in Tales of Eternia, Whis Battle pits the player against other characters from that title in a card game. Each character takes turns playing a card from their hand onto the table, and only cards of the same color may be placed on one another. However, some cards are given two colors, and may be used to switch whichever card the next player must lay. If a player is unable to place a card, they must draw cards until they can play. The game ends when a player no longer has any cards in their hand.
In addition to featuring the Whis Card Game, the game is accompanied by several small story sequences involving characters from Tales of Eternia itself.
[edit] Klondike
The Tales of the Mobile take on the traditional card game Klondike, a game similar to Solitaire that can be played by only one person. While playing the game, the Fairy character from Tales of Tactics offers her insight.
[edit] Reversi
Reversi is the Tales of Mobile version of the classic board game (also known as "Othello") that features characters from other Tales games playing against each other.
[edit] Mieu no Daibouken
Mieu no Daibouken ( Mieu's Great Adventure?) is an action roleplaying game starring Mieu, the mascot of Tales of the Abyss. A total of twelve dungeons are available to the player for download.
[edit] Tales of Quiz
Tales of Quiz is a quiz game with questions given by characters the Tales universe. Includes monthly updated questions and a national ranking for the player to participate in.
