March 3, 2006, in only Japan and was active there until March 31, 2007. Subscribers were able to play online for free after paying monthly fees up to January 29, 2007, until the service ended. Japanese media cited "a declining number of accounts", but the company Bandai Namco Games did not disclose its reasons to shut down the game. The company partnered with Dwango as of 2004 and performed the game's beta testing in early 2005 before the game's release. The online game's timeline is set around the time when the main characters journey to Celestia. Its gameplay was similar to that of the Tales games but tweaked for the online game. It lets players customize their own characters, and small window boxes appear during players' conversations with each other. The character classes are warriors, skilled at defense against enemy attacks; swordspersons, skilled at attacking; martial artists, skilled at agility and with healing and attack abilities; white sorcerers, with healing and support spells; and magic sorcerers, with attack spells. A party can be formed up to four players, but any player can fight solo. The leader of a party decides whoever can earn experience points and items after battle. The game also features minigames, including one involving cooking with ingredients obtained or purchased during the game. The game required a computer running Windows 98 Second Edition or higher.
