Here’s an overview of the remaster, via Bandai Namco:
In Tales of Eternia Remastered, players will follow Reid Hershel and his friends on an epic journey filled with unforgettable characters and a story shaped by the cultural differences between two worlds. Set in Eternia, a world where the realms of Inferia and Celestia face each other across the sky, players will join Reid, Farah, Keele, and the mysterious Meredy on a perilous quest. Together, they must stop the “Grand Fall,” a cataclysmic collision of the two worlds, by seeking the power of the Greater Craymel while confronting their own inner selves along the way.
Tales of Eternia Remastered is a remastered version of TALES OF ETERNIA, one of the earliest entries of the TALES series first released in 2001 as TALES OF DESTINY II. The remastered title introduces a new Graphics Mode and SFX Mode that lets players freely switch between remastered and original visuals and sound effects. The new title also features quality-of-life enhancements such as a Boost feature to adjust experience gained and encounter frequency, toggleable destination icons, and a high-speed mode during Auto-mode mid-battle. Additional features include Battle Retry and Quick Recovery, along with new combat options including Extreme difficulty mode available from the start of the game and an all-new difficulty level called Unknown which can be unlocked after completing the game.
