Play dress up and fight monsters in Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X or engage in a red hot summer romance in Storm Lover.

The lone fairy Etos wandered around the world, in search for his friends. However, after a long long time of journeying, still, none of his friends were to be found.

And slowly, the fairy lost his power. Appearing before the weakening fairy was a mysterious woman named Norun. In return for her nursing and kindness, Etos took over the responsibility of her two charges: Duos and Meru.

Life was peaceful, Etos was a wonderful parent figure if not over-protective. However, when the children reached 13, Norun's messenger appeared to inform Etos that the two are born with the power of Narikiri- they are people who acquire skills just by dressing in the costumes of a certain job class.

Become one of the children and use your powers to help others and adventure in this great big world. Besides the Narikiri game, the disc also comes with Tales of Phantasia X edition - a re-release of the 2006 portable version with an updated battle system.
