Since the series' 30th anniversary celebrations last year, Bandai Namco has been doling out remasters of the Tales Of games at a steady clip. Last year Tales of Graces f and Tales of Xillia both got the remaster treatment, and in February we got Tales of Berseria.

Originally released in Japan in 2000, Tales of Eternia was released as Tales of Destiny 2 in the United States (which isn't to be mistaken for the Japan-only Tales of Destiny 2—an entirely different game!). Like its predecessor Tales of Destiny, Eternia is a 2D pixel art JRPG, which was pretty unusual for a PlayStation exclusive in those 3D-crazed times. It was popular enough in Japan to warrant a PSP port which was also released in Europe and Australia.
