Bandai Namco has released Tales of Eternia Remastered, a modernized version of the classic JRPG originally launched in the early 2000s.

The remaster preserves the 2D Aggressive Linear Motion Battle System (A-LMBS) while introducing quality-of-life features such as destination markers, field fast-travel, a high-speed auto-battle mode, and a ‘boost function’ to adjust experience points and encounter rates. New difficulty settings include an Extreme mode available from the start and an unlockable Unknown mode. Players can toggle between modern graphics and the original art style and sound. The experience also emphasizes character relationships through voice-acted “Camp Skits” and retains original voice acting.
