Tales of Destiny: Director's Cut

The Tales series makes one last visit to a 6th-generation game console with the Director's Cut of Tales of Destiny PS2, which has some new content and numerous balance changes. It supports backward compatibility with the original version's save files.

The most significant new content in this version is the addition of a second story campaign called "Leon's Side" which follows Leon Magnus as the protagonist. The new campaign begins shortly before his first encounter with Stahn and follows the same canon as the original game's campaign (now named "Stahn's Side"). In Leon's Side, while Leon is in the same party as Stahn, events play out the same but with the addition of Leon's occasional inner thoughts. New scenes are inserted whenever Leon's perspective splits from Stahn's. Save files for both campaigns share the same 99-slot pool, clearly labeled with an icon of Leon's or Stahn's head and are mutually cross-compatible for the purpose of New Game+.

Other content changes:

• All content obtainable from the time-limited web link portal in the original game is now available in Director's Cut either by visiting the Traveler's Lodge or leveling up, no password required.
• 2 new challenges in the Neuestadt arena: A new Rank 6 and a Definite Mode - a mode where enemies can only be defeated by landing their designated Definite Strikes.
• 3 new Sub-Events in Stahn's Side, one involving Chaltier's origin story, two involving the optional party member Lilith.
• A new difficulty setting called "Second", positioned between the Normal and Hard difficulties.
• Exclusive to Leon's Side: New Sub-Events, new Emotional Card Chats, new artes for Leon and a new solo dungeon meant to be cleared only with Leon.
