4	* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/AlternativeCharacterInterpretation/TalesSeries See this page.]]
5	* AmericansHateTingle: Annie is reasonably popular in Japan but is disliked in the rest of the world due to her racism. Her character arc dealing with said racism is often seen as too little too late and [[spoiler: the fact that she picks on Eugene, who is universally liked]], does not help and furthermore, her support spells are rather unorthodox for JRPG standards that if you're not Japanese, you won't understand fully on how she works and will often become mostly TheLoad, which further enforces the trope.
6	* AngstDissonance: A common complaint about Veigue is his [[{{Wangst}} constant angst over Claire]], to the point where it seems like he's [[StalkerWithACrush obsessed with her]] and [[LoveMakesYouDumb thinks of]] [[LoveMakesYouCrazy nothing else but her]]. It doesn't help that she's his [[BrotherSisterIncest adoptive sister]]. May be why he was DemotedToExtra.
7	* AngstWhatAngst: Claire doesn't mind missing an entire year of her life due to being frozen alive all that much.
8	* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: A party of Veigue, Tytree, Eugene, and Hilda is pretty much the endgame party you'll see in various playthrough videos. However, Hilda is sometimes replaced by Mao for elemental advantage reasons. And if someone puts Annie in their party, [[ArtificialStupidity she will always be player-controlled.]]
9	* CompleteMonster: ''VideoGame/TalesOfRebirth'' has the BigBad and two of her CoDragons:
10	** [[FantasticRacism Zilva Madigan]] is the genocidal leader of the Four Stars and the one pulling the strings behind the Kingdom of Callegea to ensure that the Gajuma reign supreme and the [[FinalSolution Huma are all eradicated]]. To achieve this, Zilva possessed the body of Dr. Barrs, the most revered doctor in the kingdom, then used it to poison and kill Ladras Lindblum, the King of Karegia. Following this, Zilva used Dr. Barrs's body to attack his good friend, Eugene, forcing Eugene to kill Barrs in self-defense, leading to Eugene's exile for "murder." Afterwards, Zilva began manipulating the naïve daughter of King Ladras, the new queen, Agarte. Zilva [[EvilChancellor convinced Agarte]] to kidnap beautiful Huma girls for Agarte to switch bodies with, kickstarting the events of the game, and later convinced Agarte to revive Geyorkias, the King of Sacred Beasts. This was all done so that Zilva could take over Callegea and use Geyorkias's power to cleanse the world of Huma.
11	** [[BrutishBulls Tohma]], one of Zilva's Four Stars, stands out even in comparison to his boss as a vile being, especially for [[BreakTheCutie his treatment]] of two characters, Hilda and her friend Millitsa. Tohma was intrigued in the combat potential of Halves, and so lures out and abducts Hilda from her loving parents and kills her father in one punch when he tries to get her back, laughing at how weak he was. He proceeds to raise Hilda as a {{Tykebomb}}, making her and Millitsa--whom Tohma has brainwashed--grow up in an environment where they would be neglected and ignored for being Halves and lies to them about being able to gift them with "pure" bodies if they do as he says. He then trains them to torture and kill while they are still children, abducting people for them to "practice" on. When Hilda breaks off her horns in an attempt to pass as human, Tohma sends her on a suicide mission he fully expects her to fail and reveals he lied to her when she does, making her powers go out of control which could easily kill her.
12	** [[SmugSnake Saleh]], Tohma's partner in the Four Stars, is a BoomerangBigot who willingly goes along with Zilva's plans to eradicate all Huma, despite being one himself. Obsessed with "The power of the heart," he aims to destroy this power by [[ForTheEvulz causing misery and despair wherever he goes]], be it by hurting civilians for no reason or by deliberately heightening tensions between Huma and Gajuma--said tensions powering an EldritchAbomination. No one is safe from his malice, [[WouldHurtAChild including children]] or the comic relief villains, whom he brainwashes into attacking the heroes until they either kill them or die trying.
13	* CrossoverShip:
14	** Annie/[[VideoGame/TalesOfInnocence Ruca]]/[[VideoGame/TalesOfXillia Jude]], due to the three of them being fifteen and aspiring doctors.
15	** Mao/[[VideoGame/TalesOfTheTempest Caius]], mostly because of their partnership in ''Tales of Vs''.
16	* DifficultySpike: For the series as a whole. It isn't uncommon for veteran players of previous games to die ''a lot'' during the early game. It doesn't help that Rebirth plays differently than most Tales games in terms of strategy and that the Enhance and Inheritance systems involve a lot of luck, unseen factors and trial-and-error.
17	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Eugene, mostly because he's the first humanoid party member who mostly looks animal-like and that he's the CoolOldGuy who is actually old.
18	* FanPreferredCouple: [[HoYay Veigue/Tytree]] is very popular, easily competing with the heavily implied [[ChildhoodFriends Veigue/Claire]], partially because of Claire's [[DamselInDistress absence from a portion of the game]], and because of how quick Tytree is to reassure Veigue when these circumstances get him down and encourage him onwards. Veigue himself admits Tytree is dependable and the two of them get along despite [[RedOniBlueOni their contrasting personalities]].
19	* GrowingTheBeard: Alongside ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', this marks the point where the series ''really'' started to grow the beard. This game is when the plot started getting DarkerAndEdgier, often ending in [[BittersweetEnding the heroes winning at a cost]]. The animated scenes also started to get a ''lot'' better around this time, too.
20	* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Annie has been paired with everyone in the party and sometimes Saleh.
21	* LowTierLetdown: Annie is notoriously awful unless she is controlled by a competent player. She's a standard green mage with healing and buffing abilities while providing no offensive power at all, and the AI is terrible at doing anything useful with her. People very rarely bother adding her to their teams, instead relying on the other party members.
22	* MagnificentBastard: [[NobleTopEnforcer Walto]] is an [[OlderAndWiser old, wizen]] member of the Four Stars known for his cunning, valor, and [[MyCountryRightOrWrong tenacious devotion to his country]]. With dominion over the Force of Sound, Walto subtly uses MindControl to create human obstacles for Veigue and company or establish a long-winded, puzzling strategy to buy his entourage time for their mission. Despite his appearance and conviction, he is the first of his group to realize the error of his ways and help rebuild the world he almost doomed in complicity.
23	* MemeticMutation:
24	** Veigue yelling Claire's name.
25	** To a lesser extent, jokes about how Claire and Agarte are part Giraffe.
26	* NeverLiveItDown: Veigue was originally a cold and taciturn character, but [[{{Flanderisation}} is now just known]] as "that guy who [[SayMyName screams "CLAAAAAAAIIIIIIRRRRREEEEEE!"]]. It gets endlessly parodied in the [[{{Omake}} Viva Tales Of]] videos, to the point where Veigue notes that even his ''[[Creator/NobuyukiHiyama voice actor]]'' believes that his personality has gone down the pan. Veigue tries to reinvent himself. [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption It doesn't work]].
27	-->''"PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEACH PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEE!"''
28	** As stated above, Annie DOES get over her racism as part of her CharacterDevelopment. A lot of people wouldn't let her live down her time being a racist because she only got over it after three quarters of the game, to the point that 'Racist Girl' sometimes becomes her FanNickname.
29	* PopularWithFurries: Both Eugene and Shaorune are fairly popular with the furry fandom. Shaorune is especially popular among kemono artists.
