Mutsumi Inomata
As with previous "Tales" games, it features an action-based battle system, called the "Three-Line Linear Motion Battle System". The game was developed by the 2D "Tales" development unit Team Destiny. The characters were designed by Mutsumi Inomata, who had previously worked on "Tales of Destiny". The scenario, written by Hiramatsu Masaki, dealt extensively with issues of coexistence between races and ethnic conflicts. The game has received positive reviews and strong sales in Japan, with the PlayStation 2 version eventually selling over 600,000 units and the PSP re-release selling over 83,000. Western sites have been positive about the game, though neither version of the game have received English localizations.
