Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3

Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 3 (テイルズ オブ ザ ワールド なりきりダソジョソ 3, Teiruzu obu "the World": Narikiri Danjon 3) is the fourteen installment of the Tales series, and was released by Namco on January 6th, 2005 for the Game Boy Advance. It featured the Linear Motion Battle System at its most basic. The game was only released on Japan.

The Name
In Japanese, the word "Narikiri" is the act by which something becomes something else entirely. That's a doubt to Frio and Kyaro's costumes and how they allow the two characters to transform into the people they dress up as. "Dungeon" refers the dungeons in which the player must explore.

The Story
The two protagonists from this game are Frio and Kyaro who live in Minakuru Town. On this game, the tales games existed like legends that happened in the past, and both Frio and Kyaro know them well. One day when Frio read one of the legends, it ends with the destruction of the world, which is strange because every other legend has a happy end. On the following day, the time machine called "Dream" is stolen by two thieves called Ponnie and Clyte. After that, another time machine appeared and Dr.White, who is the Dr.Brown from 100 days in the future, came out. With the new time machine, Frio, Kyaro and some of the tales heroes travel together through the past to stop the thieves from causing problems on the legends time periods.

The Battle System
The Battle System from this game is the Linear Motion Battle System which is used on every Tales game (The only exceptions are Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon and some of the Tales of Mobile spin-offs.) Unlike most of the console RPGs, this battle system contains real-time battles and the players perspective during the fights is always from the side. It is also possible to charge combos. After a battle is successful finished, the player gain a reward in terms of money, and sometimes, items. The reward is regarding on how high the highest combo which is reached during a battle and how much time is needed to finish a battle. The higher the highest combo is and the shorter the needed time is, the merrier is the reward.

The Costume System
In this game, the both protagonists can dress themselves with several job de, as well as with custumes from every main character of Tales of Phantasia, Tales of Destiny, Tales of Eternia, Tales of Destiny 2 and Tales of Symphonia. By dressing like the characters, both become the character of him-/herself in terms of the sprites and the techs. By doing that, they can fight as the other playable characters during the battles. Frio can dress every male job custume and can become every male character from the listed games. The same goes to Kyaro, but only with the female ones of the available custumes.

Trivia

 * The main characters from Tales of Rebirth aren't available as playable characters, but both Veigue Lungberg and Claire Bennett appear for a single time as responsive characters in Minakuru Town.
