Tales of Odyssia Leaked Characters Details
Leaked details regarding some of the main characters featured in the next entry in the Tales series can be seen below.
Garfield von Schvent
- Age: 32
- Class: Magic Knight
- Quote: “Every time I get tired of the world, I try and remind myself that the world might not be tired of me yet.”
- Details: A world-weary man brought up in the slums of Magna Flovio, Pileas’s poorest city-state. He exudes a sense of calm, perhaps due to already seeing the worst the world offers due to his harsh upbringing. He makes a meager living as a bartender, but has learned much about the world as a result of speaking with the patrons. However, deep within him lies a dormant anger, the cause of which he has suppressed deep within his consciousness.
Angeline Clearwater
- Age: 28
- Class: Pugilist Gunner
- Quote: “Speaking with you has in no small part been a productive use of all of our times. Now, politely piss off.”
- Details: A Pilean scavenger woman who, years ago, cast aside her nobility for a life on the battlefield, helping and hindering both Glahza-Bozhestvians and Pileasians seemingly at random ever since. Her actions have earned her the designation of “traitor” by the Chief Pontiff and ruler of Pileas. Her cool, sarcastic demeanor, coupled with her actions on the battlefield having little rhyme or reason behind them, makes it difficult for anyone to truly tell what she’s thinking.
Key Features of Tales Of Odyssia
Key features on the game highlighted during Bandai Namco Entertainment’s presentation can be seen below.
- The First Open-World Tales Adventure: Venture across the vast empires of Glahza-Bozhestvia and Pileas on foot, as well as with hoverboards, hang gliders, boats, and aircraft. Utilize tools and magical powers to solve environmental puzzles and conquer the land.
- A Modernized Take on Classic Tales Combat: “TALES OF ODYSSIA” features an all-new combat system that combines classic Tales combat with the best of 3D action games. Outmaneuver enemies with the new strafe functionality and combine hundreds of special attacks in combination with a deep array of melee strikes, aerial combos, attack cancels, and the return of the fan-favorite “style shift” functionality.
- Modernity Meets Fantasy: The present day meets high fantasy in the most exciting Tales of setting yet. Venture to the top of (and glide off the top of!) the magnificent skyscrapers of Pileas, or uncover the secrets of ancient Bozhestvian ruins.
- The Most Beautiful Tales Adventure to Date: The added detail of the “Atmospheric Shader” from “TALES OF ARISE” meets the colors of traditional cel animation, bringing to life the imaginative new character designs of Kosuke Fujishima and Mutsumi Inomata. “TALES OF ODYSSIA” is dedicated to Inomata’s memory.
