A teaser video for the upcoming Classic Characters Costume and Arranged BGM DLC for Tales of Arise showcased some of the new costumes, as well as new arrangements by composer Motoi Sakuraba. The costumes were originally revealed back in September 2023, but this new video gives us a look at them in motion and our first taste of the Sakuraba arrangements.
The video begins by showing Tales of Arise battle scenes set to four of the new arrangements, interspersed with shots of Sakuraba in the studio. The tracks showcased are: “Follow Your Heart,” “One Strike, One Beat,” “Flame of Hope,” and “Flame of the New Dawn.” Then, we get a look at the new Tales of Arise costumes for characters during both cutscenes and special attack animations.
