Tales of Eternia (テイルズ オブ エターニア, Teiruzu obu Etānia?) (Tales of Destiny II in North America) is a Japanese action role-playing video game released by Namco on November 30, 2000 in Japan, and on September 10, 2001 in North America. The game is the third game in the Tales series, and plays similar to its two predecessors, Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Destiny, as a 2D anime-style RPG with an original real-time battle system.
The game was retitled Tales of Destiny II strictly for its release in North America. The naming choice later caused some confusion after the release of the Japan-only PlayStation 2 game known as Tales of Destiny 2, which was a genuine sequel to Tales of Destiny taking place in the same fictional world. Tales of Eternia, however, is not actually directly related to Tales of Destiny.
The game was well received and sold relatively well. The game inspired a Tales of Eternia anime of 13 episodes co-produced by Production I.G, which is loosely based on the game, in early 2001. Additionally, the game was ported to the PlayStation Portable in 2006 in Japanese and European regions; a North American release did not happen.
