History VideoGame / TalesOfDestiny

* BadassFamily: If Stahn, Lilith [[spoiler:and Rimul]], [[spoiler: Rutee]], and Kyle are any indication, the Aileron clan.

* MotiveDecay: BigBad [[spoiler:Miktran]]. In the original game, he was a WellIntentionedExtremist (like most ''TalesSeries'' villains are) in that [[spoiler:he wanted to revive his people and genuinely believed that the Aetherians were in the right, as the Erthers started the War Between Heaven and Earth]]. In the remake, this motive has been replaced by simple megalomania.

* BigEater: Stahn and Leon with sweets.

* BigEater: Stahn.

** [[=Retcon=]]: Also becomes this in the remake because [[spoiler: In the sequel, Judas mentions that he only learned dual wielding after Elraine brought him back.]]

** KickTheDog: However, he indulges in this to an extreme degree in Leon's side of the remake, taking every opportunity to kick his son while he's down.

* PetTheDog: Hugo has his moments. Early on when he has the heroes under his control (not only does he have shock [[strike:collars]] tiaras on them, but he has ''legal custody'' because they've been arrested for trespassing) and forces them to search for the Eye Of Atamoni, he still agrees to Rutee's request for a monetary reward. When Leon complains that he doesn't ''need'' to do that, Hugo replies that a reward would motivate the heroes to do a better job. [[spoiler:This scene takes on a whole new meaning when you find out later that Hugo is being {{Brainwashed}} by Miktran, is desperately trying to resist said brainwashing, and recognises Rutee as the daughter he sent to safety before Miktran took control of him]].

* NamesToKnowInAnime:
** TomokazuSeki - Stahn
** HikaruMidorikawa - Leon, [[spoiler:Judas]].
** KikukoInoue - Philia
** ShowHayami - Woodrow/Garr
** Creator/KoichiYamadera - Johnny/Karyl
** Creator/TesshoGenda - Kongman/Khang

** TesshoGenda - Kongman/Khang

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In the original game, Leon was a two-dimensional {{Jerkass}} who happened to be in a sympathetic situation. Fans latched onto the tragic portion of his character, and in subsequent appearances Leon was developed into a cold-hearted but reluctant antagonist. This modern perspective makes some of his more malevolent actions in the original (like shocking Rutee with her electric [[strike:collar]] tiara every time she said something to annoy him) seem out of place.

* {{Jerkass}}: Leon. In the remake, he moves a few notches towards JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Rutee.

* LightningBruiser - Stahn in the remake has quite simply ''exceptional'' stats. Leon also qualifies for the "Lightning" part: he moves so quickly that battles can be over before the enemy has a chance to move.
** Also Mary in the remake. She walks/runs pretty fast considering how well she can give and take hits. More importantly, a number of her attacks has her move rapidly across the screen to reach her opponents.
* LostInTranslation - So bad even one of the puzzles cannot be solved without a FAQ because of translation errors.

* PungeonMaster: An early sidequest in Darilshield includes a guy called "Punny old man" who constantly makes puns with names and challenges Stahn and Mary to do the same with their own names. Stahn does well enough, but [[LamePunReaction Mary just bluntly declares it silly.]]

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "ITEM NAZO! TSUKATTEN JA! '''NEEEEEE!!!!!!'''" ("Do not use items, ever!")
** This even goes into ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia'' when he cameos in there. It's even faithfully translated to "NO. ITEMS. '''EVEEEEERRRRRRR'''" (something that an English-speaking person would shout).

''Tales Of Destiny'' is the second entry in the ''TalesSeries'' of {{Eastern RPG}}s. First released in 1997, it received a direct sequel in 2002 (''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny2''), a [[VideoGameRemake remake]] in 2006 and an UpdatedRerelease of the remake in 2007.

** KoichiYamadera - Johnny/Karyl

* '''Leon Magnus''': A super-serious, prodigy knight of Seinegald who [[LonersAreFreaks would rather be alone most of the time.]] The EnsembleDarkHorse of the series. Wields the Earth Swordian Chaltier.

* '''Rutee Katrea''': A "Lens Hunter" (slash thief) who is [[OnlyInItForTheMoney utterly obsessed with money]], and the earning thereof. Very much a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. Wields the Water Swordian Atwight.
