Tales of Series character designer Mutsumi Inomata has passed away, as announced via her official X/Twitter account. She passed away last March 10 at the age of 63.
No words can describe how we feel right now. She will be heavily missed.
Mutsumi Inomata is a major figurehead for Tales, responsible for a big portion of character designs in the series, notably in Tales of Destiny, Eternia, Destiny, Rebirth, Tempest, Innocence, Hearts, Graces, and including Xillia/Xillia 2, Zestiria and Berseria alongside Kosuke Fujishima, Daigo Okumura and Minoru Iwamoto. She has also worked on several anime as character designer, animator and animation director, such as Brain Powerd, City Hunter and The Weathering Continent. She is renowned for her brilliant use of watercolors and the characteristic jewel-like eyes of her characters.
a generous fan who'd prefer to remain anonymous has been uploading complete scans of guides/perfect guide books from across the series, including most mothership titles and even a few spinoffs!!
I can't read a lick of Japanese myself but I've been having fun putting the Graces perfect guide through Google Translate's OCR anyway, would highly recommend to any fan 👍
So I was stuck because I know some people really love Asch so I expanded the list from playable/main characters! I didn't add Mieu because I feel like Mieu should be saved for a future poll on Tales animals/companions. If there is any other character that's your favorite, I'd love to hear who! Please excuse Mieu out of your answer, though 😂
I haven’t played too much of Tales of Vesperia, but Yuri already gave me these vibes.

Yuri’s left hand rests on Estelle’s shoulder and he says ‘I think we’re gonna have to kill this guy, Estelle’ with a look of disgust on his face. Estelle responds ‘damn’ with a look of concern on her face. End Description]

first off, i just wanna say that i love tales of vesperia sm i'd play it over and over again if i had the time. i love making theories about it, making skits in my head, etc. This princess is a great character who excellently dodged being a mary sue in her universe, though the way she responds to easily traumatic situations is a bit suspicious... anyways, redesigning estelle's outfit was harder than i thought it'd be because i wanted it to be (somewhat) believeable for combat yet have a floral, princess-y vibe to it. i also knew i wanted to redesign the boots even though i'm not experienced with drawing shoes much because the original pair is just... well, it was something else. i liked her underdress (?) so i kept that, just making the bottom "petals" flare out more. her midsection is a bit busy, but i really liked the rouged shirt and corset combo i gave her. also she has a braided "crown" in her hair bc she's royal huehehe. if i gushed about the meaning behing every detail i'd be typing all night, and i've got homework.
Hey everyone! Had some issues but hopefully this post works today! Welcome back to another year of UnsungTales! An Unofficial Tales of Fan-Event to celebrate the obscure, the unknown, and the forgotten parts of the Tales of Series! Come celebrate with us on May 15th to May 22nd, 2024.
What is UnsungTales? Here are some pointers below!
The Tales of Series has alot of characters and games that tend to be overshadowed or underappreciated by the mainline games or mainline cast. This event is to celebrate the ones that don't get the spotlight.
Celebrate however you like! With art, fan-fiction, information & facts, videos, etc. Whatever you like!
This event is to celebrate the ones that are lesser known in the Tales series. NPCs, Side characters, Tales cast from games that aren’t mainline titles, and niche characters from other tales media are the main focus here!
Hopefully this year will be as amazing! I hope you all will join and celebrate with us!
