Tales of Legendia is for the PS2. It's appearance came to the dismay of many people mainly because of the character designs. Legendia was made by another team within the Namco department, so it was completely different from Symphonia. It was greatly underestimated by many people. Legendia was originally known as Project MelFes.

SYPNOSIS
Senel Coolidge, a young man and master of a special power called eres, and his younger sister Shirley, found themselves adrift in a sea of standing fog. Just as they had ran out of food at the limits of their strength, an island emerged through the fog. The island approached them with amazing speed, their small boat caught in powerful waves. When they awoke, they found themselves washed ashore. Though covered in soil and vegetation, and appearing to be an island from a distance, the "land" that spread out beneath their feet was no land at all.
It was a gigantic ship.

The ship- a relic of some ancient civalization- was known as the Legacy, and there were many on the Legacy lying in wait for Shirley. They called her "Merines" and pursued her for their own schemes...

Meeting many companions on the way, Senel overcomes many abstacles, leading him to an enormous mystery surrounding the truth about the world and its people...

An epic story in two parts about the bond that binds us all...
Tales of Legendia is composed of two parts. The story is reffered to as the Main Scenario, while the additional Character Quests delve further into the characters who appear in the Main Scenario. As players uncover the personalities of and the relationships between the characters, the true story of Tales of Legendia will come to life.


The Main Scenario
This part of the game centers on Senel and Shirley, and concerns the development of a battle on which the fate of the world hangs. In this course of the main story, players will encounter new friends and foes, and new discoveries will arise.


The Character Quests
These episodes, which are unlocked after the Main Scenario, tell the stories of individual characters. It is only after thebonds between these characters are understood that the true meaning of the story is uncovered. There are also unique ways to enjoy the game that are only available in the Character Quests.


The Legacy
This ia an enormous ship, large enough to be mistaken for an island. Its origins are unknown, but it is believed to have been created by an ancient civilazation, long lost in time. The ship was discovered fifteen years ago. Since its discovery, many people have come to visit it from the mainland, in search of scientific knowledge or a hunt for treasure. A town has even been built by those that came aboard the ship. The hull of the ship is thick and covered with soil, upon which nature has taken hold in the form of mountains and rivers, lakes and forests. Details of this floating island, such as how it moves and when it will stop, remain unknown.
