Director's Cut
A Director's Cut of Tales of Destiny (PS2) was announced on July 20, 2007, and was released on January 31, 2008 in Japan for the PlayStation 2. Tales of Destiny Director's Cut's characteristic genre name is The Name "One More Destiny"'s RPG (もうひとつの運命という名のRPG, Mou hitotsu no unmei to iu na no RPG?).
This version of the game includes a new game mode called "Leon's Side". Lion's Side makes Leon Magnus the main character of the game instead of Tales of Destiny's normal main character, Stahn Aileron. The original game mode from Tales of Destiny (PS2) is still available to play, under the new name "Stahn's Side".
There is also a very small sidequest in Stahn's Side, called "Lilith's Side", where Stahn's sister Lilith Aileron goes into the Tilso Forest to get herbs as a present for Stahn. Lilith's Side can be started by sleeping in the Snowfreer Inn at the end of a Stahn's Side playthrough. If the player uses a Holy Bottle to avoid any random battles, this sidequest is beatable in less than 5 minutes.
In addition to Lilith's Side, several other sidequests have been added.
Tales of Destiny (PS2) save files are still loadable in Tales of Destiny Director's Cut from the Load Original Data option on the game's title screen.
The game includes the "Second" difficulty rank that was available in Tales of Destiny 2, this difficulty rank was not available in the original release of Tales of Destiny (PS2). Several characters have received new skills, especially Lion Magnus, who also received a third Blast Caliber called Majinken Setsuga.
The Colosseum has a new Rank 6, that has many of the game's bosses appear in a boss rush, including the game's hardest enemy, Barbatos. A Definite Mode was also added, which allows the player to choose from previously encountered enemies, and attempt to get their Definite Strikes, the enemies won't die until the player performs the Definite Strike, so doing infinite combos here is possible.
Two new end-game carry over features have been added, Succeed Skill, which transfers skills and spells over to the next playthrough, and Succeed Food Strap, which transfers the player's Food Strap to the next playthrough.
Max Stats have been increased from 999 to 1999, Max Lens have been increase from 990 to 9990, and Max HP has been increased to 9999.
There are also new Swordian Device skills, post battle voices, more skits, and the effects of some features that were abusable were lessened, such as Flash.
Tales of Destiny Director's Cut was released in two versions, the regular version, containing just the game, and a Premium Box version containing a special Premium Box with artwork by Mutsumi Inomata, the game, a 128 page illustration booklet with character artwork by Mutsumi Inomata, and an original soundtrack of the Director's Cut (featuring 21 tracks).

Famous quotes containing the words director and/or cut:
“Your audience gives you everything you need. They tell you. There is no director who can direct you like an audience.”
—Fanny Brice (1891–1951)
“I weathered some merry snow-storms, and spent some cheerful winter evenings by my fireside, while the snow whirled wildly without, and even the hooting of the owl was hushed. For many weeks I met no one in my walks but those who came occasionally to cut wood and sled it to the village.... For human society I was obliged to conjure up the former occupants of these woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
