|
- Alicia Combatir turns into a monster called an incarnation, similarly to her fate in Tales of Symphonia.
- Colette Brunel is a Chosen on a Great Tree Pilgrimage where she travels to each of the four Great Trees to use her powers to "tune" the Trees. It is similar to her situation in her game of origin where she travels around the world unlocking seals while working towards the regeneration of the world. Furthermore the truth behind the journey in each title is much darker than what is known to the main party: in Tales of Crestoria it is to actually manipulate Great Trees to bestow their mana exclusively to elves as they see humans and half-elves as "inferior beings" that only bring destruction to the world.
|
| Tales of Rebirth
|
- During the events in the area of Nocheet, Kanata Hjuger and his companions come across Veigue Lungberg who is looking for bloodstones to heal his sick friend.

| Tales of Legendia
|
|
| Tales of the Abyss

- If Estelle [Halloween Witch] and any Yuri unit are in the active party, Estelle will joke about turning Yuri into a newt. This is a callback to the skit from Quoi Woods where the two discuss the myth of the forest's "curse" where one can turn into a frog or a snake.
- If Estelle [Halloween Witch] and Flynn are in the same party, Estelle will ask Flynn to give all of the sweets he made from Yuri's recipe. This is a callback on Flynn's reputation as the worst cook in the party.

- Malik Caesar is an instructor in a knight academy, similarly how it was in his game of origin.
- Like in her original game, Sophie is an ancient weapon known as "Protos Heis" that was constructed in ancient times, in Tales of Crestoria it was to fight against Kasque, however she went dormant at some point without fulfilling her task. In the present time after a chain of events, she is known as "Rainy" and meets Asbel who is on a guard mission regarding her, but things take a drastic turn and he starts to care for her. Eventually the two set up on the journey and to confuse their pursuers Asbel suggests that Rainy changes her name to "Sophie" as she has fascination with sopheria flowers, a proposition to which she happily agrees.
- Richard's yet unnamed uncle starts a coup d'etat, and has assassins target his life, sending him on the run. In Graces, Richard's uncle Cedric does the same thing.
|
| Tales of Xillia
|
- Milla Maxwell travels across the world while slaying incarnations, saying it is her mission.

- Leia Rolando runs an inn at her hometown, similarly to how her family run one in Leronde.
- Rowen J. Ilbert is Richard's subordinate. In his game of origin, he is Cline K. Sharil's butler.
- Muzét is a local spirit in a forest. In her game of origin, she is a spirit created by Maxwell.

|
- Julius Will Kresnik is in the employ of Spirius Corporation, much like in his original game. He comes into opposition with Asbel over his employee's emotional attachment to Protos Heis and his resolve to protect her, much like it happened with his brother Ludger Will Kresnik and Elle Mel Marta in Tales of Xillia 2. Eventually, he temporarily lets them go while promising that the company will still hunt them down.
- Similar to how Gaius uses his real name, Erston Outway to travel and to disguise from the public while maintaining his status as the king of Rieze Maxia, Gaius uses the name Erston to travel incognito while maintaining his position as the king of Koktweiss.
|
| Tales of Zestiria
|
- Alisha Diphda is the niece of the countess of Southvein, similarly to how she was a princess of Hyland in her original game. She follows Luke in order to seek truth about her town's destruction and a way to atone for her "sin" of leaving the town for her knight training, just like she followed Sorey during Tales of Zestiria where she wanted to help him in his fight against hellions and to help others resolving their conflicts in peaceful manner.
- In the past when vision orbs were not a thing, it was a common occurence that when a transgressor harbored their sin for too long they were consumed by it and turned into a monster known as "incarnation". This is similar to hellions who are manifestations of large amounts of malevolence accumulated within oneself.
- Shepherds are part of the lore, with Sorey currently being in the middle of his Shepherd training that he does with Mikleo's help.
- Similarly to Tales of Zestiria, seraphim cannot be perceived by people with low resonance.
- Opposite to her game of origin, Edna is cursed with bad luck.

|
| Tales of Berseria
|
- Velvet Crowe is traveling across the world while slaying incarnations in order to exact her revenge on Milla who killed her brother, Laphicet Crowe. In her game of origin, she traveled across Midgand slaying daemons with the aim of killing Artorius Collbrande who killed her brother.
- The reason why humans can transform into an incarnation, when they have no vision orb, is said to be due to a curse imposed on the world. In Tales of Berseria, it is stated that seraphim put a curse that on malevolence-prone humans and seraphim who decided to live with them to prove that coexistence between the two is impossible with the curse transforming humans and seraphim consumed by malevolence into daemons.
- Eleanor Hume's story parallels with that from her game of origin: she is a member of the Order of Knights loyal to the Kingdom. However as she witnesses first-hand the corruption of the King and his servants, she betrays them and aids Kanata's group in their endevours.
- Opposite to his game of origin, Eizen is blessed with good fortune.
- One of Magilou's victory quotes is "Eeny, teeny, spiny crow! Which way, witch weigh, shall we go?" This is a direct quote spoken from her game of origin.
- If Cress and any Rokurou Rangetsu unit are in the active party, Rokurou will mention that he does ten thousand practice swings a day. In his game of origin, there is a skit where Rokurou mentions doing ten thousand practice swings a day.
