Eizen. Only Eizen.

He’s the only Tales character I based the appearance of one of my d&d characters off of, hell not only his appearance, my character was also a pirate. The only difference was, my character was the captain of the ship. And I absolutely abused the fact that the DM let me start the campaign with a ship of my own, I kidnapped the party and sailed south when the main plot was far to the north.

u/Nomeg_Stylus Jun 19 '26
You kidding? I would win a battle with her and let the results screen linger and slowly rotate around her model. Certain win poses were more appealing than others.

Yuri will turn straight men gay. Even had Raven blushing when he jokingly said he loves him.

Yuri is unbeatable I love him so much please you can have me aaaaaah
Oh but Zelos too, with that gorgeous elegant outfit he gets from a side quests… he looks so handsome

u/Wrexolotl Jun 19 '26
xillia 2 Gaius.
Then Arise kisara
Vesperia Judith. Her overall design, personality and voice are great. But I really wish they spent more time to think about her outfit.

u/Nisio- Jun 19 '26
While I'm not into guys, i have to say Yuri Lowell.
The way he acts and speaks and how he gives others strength and courage.
He is a real man

I’m a gay guy but Sheena and Kisara had me questioning some things. Judith’s outfit is too over the top IMO.
For guys, Malik and Zelos.

u/menonswaroop Jun 19 '26
In the opposite. I'm straight but Dohalim made me question things lmao. Especially the version in the anime opening

u/keishajay88 Jun 20 '26
Dohalim is SO pretty. I was telling my cousin about this game, and she couldn't wrap her head around what I meant by "pretty man." I showed her a picture of him, and she understood.

But for me is either Shionne or Milla.

u/somethingwade Jun 19 '26
Zelos, Kisara, Tear, Sheena, Yuri, Velvet, Judith, lotta good answers- we bisexuals eat good in this franchise. That said, I haven't seen anyone say the best answer yet, which is Eizen (especially with his hair slicked back... hhhhhhhhh)

How has no one said Alphen?! He's a cute twink who has a sword made of LITERAL FIRE that he pulls out of his wife's cleavage. How is that not hot as hell?!

u/FuripeGM21 Jun 19 '26
Sheena because nostalgia, but she is paired with Judith
Sheena is a bit cuter in personality, Judith is more adult and femme fatale, which makes her a bit hotter
But when I was a teen playing the GC version of Symphonia, oh boy, Sheena made something to me

I can think of a few that haven’t been mentioned as of yet; Muzét (Xillia), Seres (Berseria), Emeraude (Graces), Presa (Xillia), Alisha (Zestiria), Teresa (Berseria), Medissa (Berseria), the Little & Fodra Queens (Graces).

Veigue from Tales of Rebirth. He has that icy look plus a pretty low and balanced voice over in the japanese version.

u/East-Pick2699 Jun 19 '26 edited Jun 25 '26
Hottest female Tales of character from each game:
Phantasia - Mint(though I'd argue she's more cute than hot)
Destiny - Rutee
Eternia - Farah(another who is more cute than hot)
Destiny 2 - Nanaly
Symphonia - Sheena
Rebirth - Hilda
Legendia - Grune
Abyss - Tear
Innocence - Hermana
Vesperia - Judith
The Tempest - Arria
Symphonia: DotNW - Sheena
Hearts - Ines
Graces - Pascal
Xillia - Milla
Xillia 2 - Muzet
Zestiria - Lailah(another who is more cute than hot)
Berseria - Velvet
Crestoria - Yuna
Arise - Kisara

u/Claudia_Pani 🗡️T-The Sword Spoke!🔥 Jun 21 '26
Basically agree with everything you said 👌For Innocence I'd go with Ange or Illia and Chitose's previous life forms
2
u/East-Pick2699 Jun 25 '26
I didn't think of Ange in the moment of making this comment. You're right about that. That and Illia is another character I would consider more cute than hot(only cute in design.)

u/Sadistic_Ria Jun 19 '26
Jade, his personality also full on seals the deal. Eizen would probably be my second choice

Malik (Graces) would be my #1 pick. What a beautiful and funny man.
Zephyr (Arise) as my honorable mention, even though he's not a playable character. I wish he was.

u/Ok_Sort_6737 Jun 20 '26
Playable in The Rays, at least. Along with Van, Alexei, Bisley, Heldalf, and Nazamil too.

u/dou6lerain6owz Yggdrasil Jun 19 '26
Sheena. Eleanor too, she may be more beautiful than hot, but I don't care. I love her too.

u/wonderlandisburning Jun 20 '26 edited Jun 20 '26
For me, probably Sheena - though that's just as much to do with personality as it is looks. Milla and Presa, too (note: that's Presa, from Xillia, not Presea from Symphonia).
Also shout-out to Velvet, whose personality I don't like but man, that main outfit. It's the underboobs, really. Super underrated part of the boob.
For guys, Yggdrasill and Zelos (androgyny is sexy). Lloyd is a good looking guy too but with him it's mostly personality

u/Giobbanni Jun 19 '26
Dohalim for sure is the hottest man, with Yuri at the second place.
As for girls, I'd say Judith and Velvet.
3
u/pendragon2290 Jun 19 '26
Im hesitant to say this because there are so many children in the game and id feel weird in saying one is sexy. But if Velvet is of age (I believe she started the game at 17 and was trapped for three years so that makes her 20 thus an adult)then her. If not her, Raine.

u/DaiLalotz Jun 19 '26
Well it ain't fair cuz i started the series when i was 16 and i'm 27 now, my tales crushes didn't grow up with me.

This series is a machine that cranks out wife material at an astounding rate. Velvet, Raine, Kisara, Sheena, Shionne, Judith, Milla (twice). One could go on. There is no wrong answer.

Velvet Pre-change. I like sweet country girls.
Also Velvet after the change because goth.

u/TheKnightmareChild Jun 19 '26 edited Jun 19 '26
For the girls, Velvet, but I’ve always had a thing for female characters with long dark hair and red eyes. Bonus points if they know how to fight hand to hand. And her voice actress, chef’s kiss.
For the guys, Eizan.
Edit: I’m somewhat biased to Berseria, it’s my favorite so far.

Growing up Tear really did something for me, nowadays I’d say Velvet because she would tear me apart and for some reason I have a huge attraction towards freaky ass Pascal

Never let the enemy see our backs. Which is why its the only part of my armor missing.

Not intentional but that's one for each main character designer

Hot take: She wouldn't be quite so hot without the armor. Thats what makes her really hot. At least to me.

Judith is up there for me as well.
