JRPGs often have very epic stories that translate well in adaptations like anime and manga, and fairy tales The series is no exception. Since then Stories of Phantasia Launched in 1995, the world that Namco (now Bandai Namco) created has attracted audiences from all over the world. So it stands to reason that there are some anime series that use the same story, setting, and characters as the games. Here are all the fairy tales the game received an animated adaptation:
Stories of Phantasia
OVA consists of 4 parts for Stories of Phantasia ran from 2004 to 2006. Although the show closely follows the game’s plot, it mainly focuses on Dhaos, the Tree of Life, and the Elves. So those who only have experience Phantasia through OVA didn’t get the full story. While there are many story cutscenes to create a more cohesive show for anime-only fans, there are still some scenes and dialogue that are exclusive to the OVA.
The story of Eternia
Say The story of Eternia anime is an adaptation of the game is like saying that Ghost stories The dub is a faithful localization of the original. It ran for 13 episodes in 2001. Although The story of Eternia With the same name, setting and four main characters, it mainly focuses on an origin story. Fans of the characters may like it, but for those who have never played the eternal the former is certainly no substitute for the game.
The story of Symphonia
The story of Symphoniaalike Phantasia, which has an OVA adaptation rather than an anime series. There are eleven episodes in total, providing a much more complete retelling of what Phantasia Have. There are some differentiating elements, such as Marble that is not present in the OVA. However, the main plot remains the same. Both fans of the game and those new to the series can enjoy The story of Symphonia anime, and can still discuss it afterwards.
The Story of the Abyss
not surprised, The Story of the Abyss (one of the most popular fairy tales games in multiple regions and the 10th anniversary game) also got an animated adaptation. It’s a weekly series and not an OVA like Symphony. But it also more or less covers the entire plot of the game. It had to cut out or combine various subplots and skits, and the Japanese dub had to re-enact some of the characters. However, the The Story of the Abyss anime provide nofairy tales fans a complete overview of the story and also interesting for those who have played the game. The entire series is actually available for free on official fairy tales Youtube Channel.
The story of Vesperia
Similar to anime cho The story of Eterniaanimated adaptation of The story of Vesperia Game events are not included. Instead, it serves as a prequel. The Tale of Vesperia: The First Attack is the first (and so far only) theatrical film of fairy tales series. Although it deals with Yuri’s time with the Knights, as well as Flynn’s childhood, one should consider it non-canonical. There are some changes to the characterization, such as Flynn’s strangely deviant moral code. However, it has Repede as a puppy, which more than makes up for it.
The story of Zestiria
Go, The story of Zestiria! Why did Bandai Namco let you adapt two anime? Do not misunderstand me – The story of Zestiria has a story with a lot of potential. But what is very interesting is that it is the only film to have two separate adaptations. The first was a TV special that appeared before the game: Tales of Zestiria: Dawn of the Shepherd. This detail begins Sorey and Mikleo’s journey, ending with them actually leaving Elysia.
the second one is The Story of Zestiria the X. As a ufotable product (like Dawn of the Shepherd), The Story of Zestiria the X very nice to see and covers the entire game, although with some changes. Alisha has more screen time than the original, which is great for Alisha fans. There are also two episodes showing Velvet’s jailbreak from The story of Berseriaaired just before Berseriarelease date. So, technically, one could consider The Story of Zestiria the X is an animated film adaptation of The story of Berseria also.
The story of Crestoria
unlucky person The story of Crestoria received several concept movies available on Crunchyroll. They are on fairy tales So is the YouTube channel. There are four episodes in The Story of Crestoria -Rise of Sin- ONA, and it covers Chapter One of the game. There are some differences, but most of them are quite minor. Regarding the animation style, Crestoria differs from all its predecessors in that it uses 3D animation instead of 2D.
The Story of Luminaria
No less fate The Story of Luminaria there are two episodes in Tales of Luminaria: The Crossroads of Destiny OVA. It follows the events of the Third Battle of Lunne and features characters such as Leo, Celia, and Lisette. You can watch it on Crunchyroll also.
more fairy tales game appearance in the future, more anime adaptations may also appear. Bandai Namco can even adapt older titles, such as xilia, for special anniversaries. Until then, here are all the shows that both fairy tales Newbies and die-hard fans can watch until Bandai Namco releases more.
