Tales of Eternia
The game features a number of different game modes. The main part of the game, the "Story Mode", is where the bulk of the gameplay occurs and where the game's overall plot unfolds. In game, it is referred to as the "Yggdrasill Mode", named after the "World Tree" that the game's story is centered around. This mode focuses entirely on two on two battles, where the player chooses a preset duo, some from the same game, like Lloyd Irving and Colette Brunel of "Tales of Symphonia", some being random pairings, such as Farah Oersted of "Tales of Eternia" pairing with Yuri Lowell of "Tales of Vesperia". In the game, the player directs the characters around a World Map with preset paths and destinations, not allowing for exploration beyond the straight line. Different events occur when the character stops on different icon amongst the paths; typically leading to either story sequences, required battles, or optional side-quests. Finishing the game with certain character sets, or playing through the course of the game and making certain choices, unlocks further sets of characters to play through the game.
