zaimoku duo is about being child neglected & the weakest sibling, about being an afterthought to others and not fitting in, about being left behind and bossed around, and about growing walls around yourself to guard that disappointment;

suuji duo is about being autistic in a high/low visibility way and an opposite trajectory in life due to being so visibly you are Forced to learn to function vs being so invisible you never know you are missing vital survival skills until its too late.

Sokudo duo is about parentification and jealousy. Being forced to be a third parent and The Eldest Son. Being forced to be The Second Leader and The Responsible Son. Not asking for either of those roles. Wishing they were each other. Thinking the other is a failure/a jealous bitch. Not seeing that their positions are, at the of the day, same.

collection of Tales guidebooks!

a generous fan who'd prefer to remain anonymous has been uploading complete scans of guides/perfect guide books from across the series, including most mothership titles and even a few spinoffs!!

I can't read a lick of Japanese myself but I've been having fun putting the Graces perfect guide through Google Translate's OCR anyway, would highly recommend to any fan 👍

Google drive link for every concept art from Tales of Asteria that the official account ever posted to Tw/tter. They're interesting and point out little details like Stahn's sleeping cap being a different color than his pajamas for the sake of matching Lilith's ribbon.

Attached pictures are just previews; there's 148 of them. I don't think I can tag every single character, so I settled for game titles. I'm pretty sure I got all of them.

I wasn't sure if there was a convenient spot to view all of them like Rays's concept art does, so I put them together.

There's a Memorial Book for Tales of Asteria that has concept art in it. It may or may not have some that they never posted to Tw/tter. It's a very expensive book though so I can't buy it to find out.
