For those unfamiliar, Tales of Destiny is the second main entry in Namco’s “Tales of” series. It follows the story of Stahn, a young man who discovers a sentient sword named Dymlos, leading him into a conflict involving sword-wielders and ancient relics.
The original Tales of Destiny was well-received, becoming the highest-selling Tales game in Japan at the time, with over a million copies sold worldwide. The fan-made Reforged version aims to build upon that success by addressing issues with the original localization and restoring lost content from the Western release.
Fans interested in this enhanced version of the classic JRPG can download Tales of Destiny Reforged from the project’s official page.
