Tales of rebirth uses towns, dungeons, and a overworld for traversal and a very deep customization and skit system. The skit system like in previous tales helps strengthen the bond of the party members throughout their journey.
Battle System
Tales of Rebirths new battle system the Three Line Linear motion battle system breaks from the norm in a few ways. Players and Enemies are on three different planes and can switch between these different planes to attack and evade enemy attacks. Your attacks and spells usually only affect the enemies in the same plane as you though there are some exceptions. The force gauge replaces the tp gauge of previous games. The force gauge acts as a timer for you to do a move and there's a delay before you can do the same move again the stronger the move the longer the delay generally.
Artes
In the tales series Artes are used to dish out extra damage aside from typical character combos. In general these abilities are learned over the course of the game by leveling and in some cases side events. Moves are usually designated to one button and 4 artes can be mapped Linking these moves with your normal combos is the bread and butter of the Tales series in terms of being offensive.
Enhance Points
After fights the player is rewarded with Enhance Points that can be used to increase the strength of attacks and protect characters from status ailments.
