If you love 2D gaming as much as most RPG fanatics who buy handhelds do (seriously, it's practically the only medium left to see it on if you don't count Nippon Ichi's continued support of 2D niche titles on consoles), then you'll probably salivate over the
Tales of Rebirth gallery we've compiled for you. Taken from the official Japanese website, you can get an idea of what to expect -- a 3D map a la
Symphonia with 2D battles a la
Phantasia, Destiny, and
Eternia/
Destiny 2. While our review for
Tales of the World wasn't exactly glowing, we still stand behind the franchise as a decent RPG experience and
Rebirth might be the best
Tales experience next year. Enjoy the gallery!

Isn't Destiny 2 a another game in Europe and Japan? I thought only the North America was the only one to label Eternia as Destiny 2, while Europe and japan got both games.
This character profile http://www.pspfanboy.com/gallery/tales-of-rebirth/332277/
looks horrible. Her limbs are way to skinny to be real, her neck is too long, and her waist seems too skinny as well(though that might just be foreshortening). The guy, in contrast, seems very believable.
The in-game art looks terrific though.

@ merc25 -- Yep, Eternia was labeled as Destiny 2 in the US to try to keep consumers from getting confused. Sold horribly, though, so we didn't see the actual Destiny 2 hit our (the US) shores.
And yeah, the character model looks a bit odd, but luckily we won't have to see that while we play the actual game, eh? =D

I'm pretty sure that the reason Eternia was named Destiny 2 here is due to copyright of Eternia from Masters of the Universe. Hopefully this won't stop them from releasing the real Destiny 2 sometime in the future (I want it so bad! D:).
Tales of Rebirth looks awesome, especially when in motion. I'm really hoping that this comes over here.

Claire Bennett? LOL. Isn't that the girl from Heroes? (What a crappy season finale BTW)
Back to topic, I gotta agree... those concept art drawings kinda suck. Thankfully the In-game art's different. It's almost as crappy as - I know I'll get blasted for this - Final Fantasy's Yoshitaka Amano art.
