Fans have rescued Tales of Rebirth from oblivion, as the 20-year-old JRPG gets an unofficial translation
The ‘Tales of’ series has so many excellent titles, that some even go unnoticed by fans. Thankfully, Tales of Rebirth has just received a revival thanks to the effort of a few players.
Although the ‘Tales of’ franchise is one of the main names of the JRPG genre along with Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, its fans have not always been lucky enough to be able to enjoy all of its games, since in the past they were not even released in the West, not to mention the always controversial issue of the languages in which it was translated. A good example of this is Tales of Rebirth, which has now, for the first time in history, been translated into English by the Life Bottle Productions team.
Tales of Rebirth was originally released on PS2 back in 2004 and four years later, in 2008, it also landed on PSP. However, neither version could ever be enjoyed in a language other than Japanese, so it is fantastic news for many fans of the saga who will now be able to play it without problems. It is the sixth installment of the franchise, as it arrived shortly after the popular Tales of Symphonia.
The best ‘Tales o’f games
It is a very long-standing franchise that has numerous titles. Not all of them are available today, such as Tales of Phantasia, Tales of the Abyss, or Tales of Eternia, all of which are highly recommended, but cannot be purchased on any current platform. This reduces the options, although new installments and the remasterings of other classics have given rise to several ‘Tales of’ that are currently very worthwhile.
One of the fan favorites is, without a doubt, Tales of Symphonia, which you have available in its HD version for Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4, PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. The same happens with the acclaimed Tales of Vesperia, also available on the aforementioned platforms.
