don't get the point what their skills are (especially those who played
with Dave's walktrough), here I tried to put all those, their elemental
magics, the voice talents and all the good stuff about Destiny. This may
filled up what's missing in the walktrough. Please take note that this
based on the original version of Tales Of Destiny, which is from Japan.

SFC Tales Of Phantasia's Linear Motion Battle System, which allows you

2. Stan and Dimlos must have required at certain level.

like in his first ougi, Hou Ou Ten Ku. Then from one side of
the screen, giant size Stan flies horizontally with Dimlos
thrusted, which his body still engulfed by flame, which made
him like a phoenix and Dimlos is the phoenix's head. This
is Stan's top and final ougi, which cleans up enemies a whole
screen.

2. DESTINY MINI DRAMA AND STUFF
New in Destiny there are events occured by the talking of each charac
ters, when they are in the world map. By these talks, the personality
of each characters are shown here. You can access those dramas by not
moving your characters in the world map and after fighting. You can
also hear these mini dramas freely right after you finished the whole
game, which you also hear the drama between Stan and Dimlos. (The voice
for Dimlos is Okiayu Ryoutarou-san, who is also voicing as Miktran)
My favorite dramas mostly those includes Stan and Philia, with Rutee
a little bit. It seems that Rutee is kinda jealous when she saw Stan
and Philia together. Tomokazu-san, Kikuko-san, and the other seiyuus
roled with their best performances, and the results are faboulus. After
all, the power of TOD lies on these seiyuus.
Also new in Destiny is after you hear the mini dramas, you don't have
to move the characters and they started performing their poses, which
are :
1. Stan Aileron, raises his fist up and down in motion.
2. Rutee Kartret, swing her hips left and right in motion.
3. Philia Philis, plucking flowers.
4. Woodrow Kelvin, standing up in a firm gesture.
5. Lion Magnus, crosses his hands in an arrogant gesture.
6. Mary Agent, sits asleep.
7. Chelsea Tone, shaking like she is scared.
8. Johnny Shiden, playing his guitar.
9. Mighty Kongman, flexin' his muscles in motion.
3. BIG EXTRA NEWS
I just checked out US NAMCO homepage (which its URL is www.namco.com),
they announced that US Destiny is in the works and it will be launched
by the late September 1998. So for those whose dying for the US release,
here lies the answer. It is a translation from the original Destiny, but
there is a few changes. The names of the characters are mostly altered,
which I'll list full names of Destiny characters here.
- Stan Aileron (JPN) --> Stahn Aileron (US)
(Note: his Ma Jin Ken are changed into ..... Missile Sword, which is
very bad)
- Rutee Kartret (JPN) --> Rutee Katrea (US)
(Note: her Snipe Roar are also changed into ..... Light Spear. Same
as above)
- Philia Philis (JPN) --> Philia Felice (US)
- Lion Magnus (JPN) --> Leon Magus (US)
- Woodrow Kelvin (JPN) --> Karl Kelvin (US)
- Mary Agent (JPN) --> Mary Argent (US)
- Chelsea Tone (JPN) --> Chelsea Torn (US)
- Mighty Kongman (JPN) --> Bruiser Khang (US)
- Johnny Shiden (JPN) --> Karyll Shiden (US)
Those are just few of the changes in the US Destiny, along with their new
OP song, which replacing DEEN's Yume De Aruyouni. For those who want to
jiggle with the English version of Destiny, just wait until late September.
More news that Destiny now can be enjoyed in a form of a manga (comic).
It has a very nice cover art and the characters are drawn very nice too,
which is very important to know the character's personality. Also Destiny
can be enjoyed in audio as a CD drama. I taken the Destiny drama CD info
from most updated Japanese fanpages of Destiny and from HIKARU'S BAR, a
homepage owned by none other than Midorikawa Hikaru-san (the seiyuu who
did the voice of Lion Magnus), which its URL at:
http://village.infoweb.or.jp/~fwis9263
Good news for Tales Of Phantasia fans, that the SFC game will be released
again on the PS. This version of SFC's TOP will have a few brand new anime
OP and event movies, thanks to the wonderful staff of Production IG and
a brand new cast of voice talents too. Looks like NAMCO US will never let
the PS version of Phantasia get away from their hands soon. The game will
be released in Japan around December 1998, so keep your fingers crossed
for more info. Thanks to Joe Chan at Playstation Gamer for this info.
4. BATTLE STRATEGIES AND MORE STUFF
This section discusses about the strategies while in battle and a few stuff,
which are more cool than those above. About strategies and stuff, there's
a few that you may need to know when you're playing Destiny, either both
Japan and US versions. (Note that these names based on Japan version only)
- Before you get to Dykroft to fight Miktran (the last battle), it's best
to learn all the ougis from Hou Ou Ten Ku to Kou Ou Ten Shou Yoku and
equip yourself with Combo Command item before you filled up your ougi
list.
- If you hate being surrounded by your enemies, now here is the key. The
best way to get out of this one is to use Dan Kuu Ken or the ougi Nen
Pa Sen Puu Jin.
- If you are in Noischtadt (Fitzgard) by the time you were dropped from
Dykroft (the world in darkness, that is), there's a house with a man
stands on the roof. Go to the house and talk to him and you get a
ticket to a live show. Go to the colloseum and talk to the guards
there, who'll ask you to turn left after you entered. They let you pass,
then go to the left staircase and enter. You'll be in a musical treat
by the game's version of DEEN performing the short version of their
single, Yume De Aruyouni.
- While fighting Miktran as himself holding Belzerios (the sixth Swordian,
who suppose to be dead in the War Of Heaven And Hell), make sure you
round him up good. As he is high above and you can't reach him, nail
him with Kou Ou Ten Shou Yoku to bring him down and get him. But if you
are fighting Miktran as Neo-Miktran, the best way is give him the taste
of Satsu Geki Bu Kou Ken or any rending moves to made him unable to per
form his magics, so keep your TP refilling items ready. You can direct
Rutee to help Stan by commencing her Bloody Rose and Woodrow with his
Rekkuu Jin, while Philia can pull out a magic or two.
- This is the very impulsive thing, when you have to fight a very tough
opponent (a shell like creature in Berklandt and dragon creatures in
Tower Of Duruaga). Since some skills and magics have no effect of this
kind, there are some that might hurt them. Those are:
- Stan and Mary's Ma Jin Ken and Shi Shi Sen Kou (Mary's Gou Ma Jin Ken
and Retsu Ma Jin Ken will do).
- Mary's Zan! with a golden frypan, which you can buy at the port of
Noischtadt for 50.000 galds.
- Rutee's Icecicle.
- Philia's Philia Bomb and Twin Bomb.
- Kong's skills like Ronbu Shoulder, Great Upper or any skills.
- Both Philia and Woodrow's Storm magic.
- Just for thought, in the story when Stan and co. have to face Lion,
there's a very conspirative story. It says that Lion's real name was
Emilio Kartrett, Rutee's young brother, both born in an affair between
Hugo Gilchrist and Chris Kartret. It is shown by the similarity between
Rutee's Snipe Roar and Lion's Kuu Shuu Ken, which also performed by
Hugo when Stan and co. faced him in Berklandt.
- Another thought is that there's no idea how to translate Woodrow and
Chelsea's archery skill, Hayate. The reason is the kanji for Hayate is
actually two kanjis forming the word 'shippuu', which is translated as
'gale wind'. If there's someone who knows about this, please tell me
through email and I'll personally give him/her the credit. (and also
for Mary's and Woodrow's 'kagerou')
