A Short stories game is not one Short stories game if you don’t have a comically ridiculous closet. In this way, Tales to emerge, the latest entry in Bandai Namco’s long JRPG series, doesn’t disappoint. (See: screenshot above, screenshots below.) But keep in mind this warning: downloading the game’s optional cosmetic options makes the game easier.
Tales to emerge, officially available for PlayStation, Xbox and PC, includes plenty of optional content. If you pick up any of the non-standard versions of the game, which would be the deluxe, digital edition or collector’s edition, you’ll get four packs of costumes: Premium, Warring States, and School Life, according to the series affinity for dressing up fantasy characters in modern swimsuits, Beach Time.
The three editions of the game also include the premium item package and the premium travel package, which allow you to instantly access a lot of things – for lack of a better term – extremely useful. We’re talking about things like XP impulses; big discounts to sellers; dozens of herbs like Lavender and Sage (which can permanently increase your party’s stats); hundreds of in-game cooking ingredients; and half a million Gald, the currency of the game. (In perspective, I have several dozen hours and have never had more than 30,000 Gald on hand.)
You can download all bonus items in part or in bulk at any of the in-game campgrounds. And if you have a great need getting five bottles of life this very secondYes, for sure, you can see the full deals in the “System” menu of the game.

I would suggest, at most, picking up some essentials in chunks, as capturing the entire course can seriously throw off the balance of the game. But here’s the other catch: even costumes can make your characters more powerful. Look, each costume gives your character a new title. It may seem harmless enough, though Tales to emergeThe skill tree is dictated by the titles it unlocks for each party member.
If you perform certain actions (e.g., “forge four props” or “know four out of five owls”), you’ll get a new title for one of your six party members. If a character gains a new title, you will unlock a new branch in that character’s skill tree. If you unlock all five skills related to this title (the first is free), the character will get a permanent statistical boost.
Yes, you could completely ignore all bonus skill trees. But again, the first skill for each tree is free. Keeping things a little inaccurate out of concern for spoilers, this largely means getting instant access to combat moves as soon as you choose to add a DLC costume to your closet.
Take the martial artist character Law, for example. When you download the three costume packages, you’ll automatically add three honestly pretty decent Arts (Short stories-speak “special attacks”) in their repertoire. The same goes for the protagonist Alphen and fellow magician Rinwell. As far as I know, these characters would not be able to learn these movements. Two of Alfen have significantly changed the way they play.
And then there’s the beast of temptation, which has, like, a 100-0 record with humans. Some of the available skills, such as KO Prevention, a passive ability that keeps a character with 1HP alive in the event of a knockout blow, really change the game. You can unlock KO Prevention later, but accessing the costume DLC gives you an instant chance for some characters. (Rinwell’s, for example, opens when you win the Serious Swimmer Girl title, which is obtained with the Beach Time package.) Take Me: KO Prevention is arguably one of the most useful passive skills in the game. If I was able to grab him from the jump, I don’t think I could ignore the option.
Of course, if you’ve selected an enhanced edition, dress up your team with the game’s bonus threads. You just have to know what to do Tales to emerge a little easier. Of course, if the game becomes a cake ride, no one is stopping you from getting ahead of the difficulty.
Anyway, here’s a gallery of some obviously ridiculous ones Tales to emerge dresses:
