Tales of Eternia
While eventually released under this name in Japan, when released in the North American region, the game was retitled to "Tales of Destiny II". Some speculated the game was retitled to avoid trademark infringement on the word "Eternia", owned by Mattel in North America for the "Masters of the Universe" toyline, but the game's creators stated it was done strictly for brand name and brand recognition reasons; "Tales of Destiny" was the first of the "Tales" game to be released in North America, and they wanted to draw a clear connection between the two games. The first game in the "Tales" series, "Tales of Phantasia", released in 1995 for the Super Famicom, was not brought to North America until it was ported to the Game Boy Advance and released later in 2006, so for some time, "Tales of Destiny" was the beginning of the series for North American audiences. The naming choice would later cause further confusion after the release of the PlayStation 2 game known as "Tales of Destiny 2", a genuine sequel to "Tales of Destiny" taking place in the same fictional world. "Tales of Eternia" is not actually directly related to "Tales of Destiny", and is a different game from "Tales of Destiny 2" for the PlayStation 2 in 2002.
