''Tales of Eternia''[[note]]''[[MarketBasedTitle Tales of Destiny II]]'' in North America[[/note]] is the third mainline entry in the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries''. The game was released on November 30th, 2000 in Japan on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation. It received an international release on September 10th, 2001 in North America, and later ported to UsefulNotes/PlaystationPortable in 2005. Eternia is a 2D anime-style RPG with an original real-time battle system taken from its predecessors, ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' and ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny''. In addition, this game actually introduced many features that are still in use in many VideoGame/TalesSeries games today.

* BonusBoss: Sekundes, the Greater Craymel of Time, doesn't require the heroes to fight him for him to join as with the other Craymels. However, fighting him is still an option for players who want to and doing so is required to be able to use Maxwell's extensions.

** Speaking of non-Tales Of related cameos, an optional dungeon (which contains an essential part of the GlobalAirship ) sports Rick Taylor from ''VideoGame/{{Splatterhouse}}'', the undead samurai from ''Genpei Toma Den'' and spirit world statues from ''Shadowland'', not to mention that one of the [[BonusBoss Bonus Bosses]] is the Valkyrie from ''The Legend of Valkyrie'' (her dungeon even has the same music from the first level of that game).

* BizzareAlienBiology: While Celestians are more similar to a HumanSubspecies than an actual alien, there're already signs of divergent evolution. For example, they have an organ called Elara on their foreheads that has empathic powers.

* ClassicVideoGameScrewYous: The Game Designers ''must'' have put together a check list of this for the fight with [[FakeDifficulty Rem]]. Flies? Check. Long Range, fast juggling basic attacks? Check. Sets up an impenetrable shield around her that can juggle you to death easily? Check. ''Channels Spells'' while protected by said Shield? Check. Has a passive orb that mucks up your attacks by [[CollisionDamage flying into you]]? Check. Damn you, Rem? Hell yes, Check.

The third title in Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment's ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'', originally released in 2000.

Just so you know, this has nothing to do with ''Franchise/MastersOfTheUniverse''. In the US, it was called ''Tales of Destiny II''. While it was (and still is to some extent) often speculated that this was because Namco wanted to avoid trademark infringement with Creator/{{Mattel}}, who held the trademark to the word "Eternia", [[https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/06/08/tales-of-destiny-2-interview Namco has officially stated]] that the name change was purely for brand recognition reasons, as the only other Tales game to be released in North America at the time was ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny''. Confusion ensued when an ''actual'' sequel to ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny'' came out in Japan and was called ''Tales of Destiny 2''. The PSP port, which was released in Japan, Europe, and Australia, retained the original ''Tales of Eternia'' title.

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: Though it makes more sense because they essentially go in circles around the Orbus Barrier, Eternia is essentially a binary planet system, which like binary star systems that exist in real life (and are very common in our own Milky Way Galaxy minus our own Sun) seem to orbit a point between the two, though unlike Eternia with its Orbus barrier binary stars orbit the area between them. With Eternia, since they orbit a star themselves, as pointed out on a diagram of its star system in one of Seyfert's shrines, rotation would explain why they both experience day and night. Although it seems they always face each other, it could just be that the continent on Inferia Reid, Farah, and Keele live on does and that Mt. Mitche on Inferia always faces the part of Celestia Keele showed the Reid, Farah, and Meredy with the observatory's telescope on Mt. Mintche, similar to how one side of Earth's moon always faces its planet but still experiences day and night (i.e. the cause of moon phases). In addition, even though Celestia and Inferia are shown to be round on the solar system diagram the party sees, traveling across the northern or southernmost part of the map [[WorldShapes results in the party looping around]].

* DummiedOut: The US release of the game removed some things from the original, unfortunately. Such as the camping skits, a few voice clips, and even some titles. Only some of these were restored in the EU release.
** There's more than that. In the original version of the game, [[spoiler: Shizel has dummied data for every spell in the game.]] It really makes you wonder...
