Battle

Tales of Destiny utilizes the Enhanced Linear Motion Battle System (E-LMBS) where characters fight on a 2D field in real time. The one exception to the real time battling is spell casting where casting time increases with the difficulty of the spell being cast. When the spell chanting is complete the fight will stop momentarily for a small cutscene to launch the spell. As with other Tales games, you have HP and TP and gain experience points toward leveling up with each victory.
