Game description: Tales of Destiny 2 is a direct sequel to Tales of Destiny 1 and takes place 18 years after the exploits of Stahn and Co. You take control of Stahn and Rutee's son Kyle in his quest to become a "real hero". Don't be fooled by its decidedly run of the mill beginnings though. The scope of that story that ToD2 tackles is as large as Phantasia's and poses a very theological question to its players.

Trivia

Original names: テイルズオブデスティニー2 (SLPS-25172) & (SLPS-72502) & (SLPS-73219), 테일즈 오브 데스티니2 (SCKA-20008)

Known Issues

Background rendering glitch

Status: Active
Type: Minor
Description: Entering and exiting the game menu may randomly trigger a bad rendering where everything goes black. As well you'll notice the menu background go black or blue(see screenshots).
Workaround: The easiest workaround is to switch to Software mode by going to Config > Video (GS) > Plugin Settings, and setting Renderer to any of the "(Software)" options. Another one is to load a new map/zone (enter or exit a town/dungeon).
