tales of the world

story:
The world of Terresia is under assault by a "devourer", which seeks to consume its mana and leave it barren. Although the residents of the planet are unaware, this is actually a result of the actions of two entities named Widdershin and Aurora, the descenders of other worlds. As a last resort, the world's life-giving tree (the World Tree) uses the last of its power to create a defender - the player's own character (a local descender). The hero, after being awakened by a strange creature named Mormo whose own world was destroyed by the same threat, learns of the danger to this world's World Tree. Upon hearing a scream, the player rushes to discover that a girl is being attacked by a soldier. After rescuing the girl, she introduces herself as Kannono, a member of an organization named Ad Libitum. This guild seeks to help the people of the world, fighting injustice and oppression. With no better leads, the player and Mormo set out to join Ad Libitum, hoping to learn more about the location of the devourer.
As always, the Tales of the World spin-offs add Tales characters from entries in the main installments. They play as NPCs that will assist the player throughout the game to stop the villain from destroying the world.
gameplay:
The gameplay resembles in many ways that of an MMORPG, albeit without the online part. Players accept quests at the local guild office from a selection of five different choices at a time. Quests include defeating certain monster types, mining or harvesting certain raw ingredients, or crafting certain goods. Completing these quests rewards the player with Fame Points and Gald (currency). Upon reaching certain levels of Fame, a new "Story Quest" is unlocked, which leads to new in-game events once completed. The player's character is fully customizable with the equipment available through quests and through stores, and changing it affects both stats and visual appearance. The typical "Tales of" crafting system is also in the game, allowing the player to further customize his/her equipment.
Upon completing the game at least once, 2 additional difficulty levels are unlocked, "Hard and "Insane" on top of the original default "Normal" level. Players can then restart the game with all their levels, in-game currency and items (except quest items) intact, and cant switch difficulty levels at any point during the new game, as long as they are outside the explorable dungeons.
