Tales of Destiny

Tales of Destiny is a successor to Tales of Phantasia. Like its predecessor, it has the structure of traditional Japanese role-playing games, but replaces turn-based combat with action-oriented combat. Battles take place on separate side-scrolling screens and resemble those of a fighting game. The player controls the main hero/heroine, navigating him/her around the battle screen and performing various attacks and combos. The other party members are controlled by the game's AI, but it is always possible to interrupt the fight and assign a new fighting style to one of them.
