When a mysterious girl named Kohaku Hearts is infected by a xerom, a monster that feeds on the heart, Kor dives into her Spiria, the essence of her emotions, using an ancient weapon called a Soma, and accidentally shatters it. The pieces scatter across the world, and Kohaku is left without parts of herself. \u003cem\u003eTales of Hearts R\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of Kor, Kohaku and her fiercely protective older brother Hisui setting out to bring every fragment home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a classic Tales setup with a heartfelt twist, since each recovered piece of Kohaku's Spiria brings back a feeling she lost, and the party grows into a lively, bickering family along the way. The Vita remake adds Gall Gruner, a seasoned Somatic who joins the group, and makes Chalcedony Akerman, a non-playable antagonist in the original, a full party member. New animated cutscenes sit alongside the anime scenes from the earlier release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombat is the headline. The Aerial Chase Linear Motion Battle System is real-time Tales action at its most acrobatic: you chain artes into launchers, then dash after a juggled enemy with the chase link mechanic, and a fourth AI ally now fights beside you. Learning each character's combos and how to keep enemies airborne gives the battles a satisfying rhythm, and reviewers consistently singled the fighting out as the game's strongest feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTales of Hearts first appeared on the Nintendo DS in Japan in 2008 and never left the country, so this Vita remake, released in the West in 2014 with the original Japanese voice cast and English subtitles, is the only official way to play it in English. That gives it a special place in a Tales collection, and it is a bright, fast-paced RPG that suits the Vita's portable play very well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coolection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56178588450982,"sku":"PCQ-35401-CIB","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/7404\/4838\/files\/IMG_0815-Photoroom.png?v=1770775407","url":"https:\/\/coolection.com\/products\/tales-of-hearts-r","provider":"Coolection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
