Form Change (Tales of the Rays)

Form Change (フォームチェンジ, Foomuchenji^?) is a gameplay mechanic exclusive to Tales of the Rays. It is a system where a character can use a different version of themself in battle.

Function

A Form Change allows a character to change their appearance and arte set. A character can change into their Form Change when using the latter's mirrage arte and vice versa during a battle. The system was mainly introduced to increase the number of playable characters as the roster of available characters decreases.
