Background:
In the shoes of a young boy names Cress who's parents are killed and village is burnt down to the ground. Now Cress is out to seek vegence upon the scum who has done this. Meeting friends along the way and battling by Cress's side, he starts to find out more about himself and family that even he didn't know. Now he'll stop at nothing to destroy the evil revived.

Gameplay:
Battles in Tales of Phantasia aren't the traditional turn-based fights that most RPGs use. Instead, players can make Cress perform different attacks by pressing the D-pad. Players can also chain together attacks and, as Cress levels up, learn new moves to use. The game also has the option of putting Cress on automatic attack so players can chose different actions for his companions, who generally fight on their own.
