Release Date: December 21, 2007
Official SiteHere it is! Our dream come true! Tales of World 4! However, it's not Tales of World 4. It's a new brand of ToW. Radiant Mythology. For those who do not know, Tales of World is a crossover game with all the Tales characters. It looks like there's going to be some 3D action and familiar Tales characters as shown
here. The battle system will be the battle system of that of Tales of the Abyss. A 3D battlefield with free-run and Flex-Range Linear Battle Motion System! Also, some new characters will be in the game. These new characters will be from Rebirth, Legendia and Abyss as you can see
here. The overworld system looks like it's going to be using the "Icon Touch" system as used in Symphonia and Abyss. It means that you manually control your character on the Overworld, if you touch an enemy icon, you will go into battle.
Example. Looks like you can also decide how your main character looks like too. You can change the Voice Actor, Gender, Class, Hair color and other various things. Like
here and
here.

That totals up to a pathetic 19 Tales characters. Heck, even bosses are unconfirmed. That makes 39 characters missing that deserve to be in the game. So basically it's 19 characters out of 58, NOT including bosses, side bosses, and other special characters.
ClassesAs for the character customization system, you can choose many things, class is one of them. This section explains all the confirmed classes.
SoldierThe backbone class. This class wields swords, axes and spears or lances. They have a well balanced level of speed and power. They come with a lot of variety of close combat attacks as well. They are the most potential in the front lines.
ThiefAlthough their consecutive quick attacks are faster than warriors, they lack more significant power than their fellow melee class. However, their agility makes up for their lack of strength, and they have the ability to steal items and the such from enemies.
HealerA passive class that specializes in healing and strengthening the party with boosting status effects. Although defenseless on their own, they have a high endurance and they can help alot with their benificial healing.
MageA class that does not meet foes face up. Instead, they use magic spells from a distance, which exceeds the power of ordinary melee combat. However, like healers, they are defenseless on their own and require time to use their powerful magic.
Higher ClassesAs you fight more battles, you grow stronger. But that's not all, you can also take your current class to the next level! At this new level, you can become even stronger than ever before.
SwordsmanThis class specializes in fencing, or the art of thrust attacks by using a thin, flexible sword. Compared to the soldier class, the Fencer has more flexibility in their techniques.
FighterA strong physical class that specializes in melee. Their emphasize on close combat allows them to deal a variety of favorite techniques that can only be done using the body alone. However, compared to soldiers and fencers, their agility is not as fast.
