Tales of Eternia Remastered Reviews
Tales of Eternia is a game originally released for the PlayStation 1, and you can see where it’s starting to show its age, with some issues regarding movement and the difficulty balance in certain sections. That said, it’s a game with a simple story that’s carried very well by captivating characters and combat that, despite its minor issues, is a lot of fun. It’s one of my favorite Tales of games, and I was really happy to be able to revisit it.

While the game offers a highly enjoyable story and cast of characters, it’s still a game from 2001, meaning it can be rough around the edges for those more versed in recent Tales releases.
Tales of Eternia Remastered revives one of the classic entries in Bandai Namco's action RPG franchise.
I loved taking a trip down memory lane with a game I hadn't played in 20 years, but I don't know if today's players will look at it through the same rose-tinted glasses as I do.
From destroying a legendary piece of animation to scattershotting sprite filtering to no useful end, this is a fumble that makes my heart hurt. The restored skits are nice, but that’s like pouring a glass of water on a fire.
Absolutely, fans of the franchise must play Tales of Eternia, especially if they never got a chance to. This remaster includes some great quality of life improvements that help blend the old with the new without tarnishing the original vision. The game's age still comes through in many aspects, but the new additions help pave the way for a new audience to experience a long-sought franchise entry in the Tales of franchise.
The combat system will appeal to action JRPG fans, as well as fans of 2D fighting games. But the adventuring, dialogue, and pacing are full of JRPG bad habits that modern players have grown tired of.
