Tales of Legendia is a story-driven RPG where you play as Senel Coolidge, a young man deeply attached to his sister Shirley. One day, while sailing on a boat, they stumble upon a massive continent - a giant ship called Legacy , a relic of an ancient civilization. As Senel and Shirley learn about this new world, Shirley discovers she has a connection to it, but her life is soon interrupted when she's abducted. Determined to find his sister and unravel the mystery of the new world, Senel sets out on an epic journey.
The gameplay in Tales of Legendia follows the traditional 2D real-time battle system found in previous "Tales Of..." games. You can control only one character at a time, while others follow assigned strategies automatically. By combining attacks and cooking new items using recipes, you'll be able to learn new skills and enhance your party's abilities.
