Lloyd Irving (Tales of Symphonia), Senel Coolidge (Tales of Legendia), Tear Grants (Tales of the Abyss), Rita Mordio (Tales of Vesperia) and Colette Brunel (Tales of Symphonia) have all been officially revealed to be in Tales of VS in one massive update to the official minisite on Tales Channel, Namco Bandai's hub for Tales series updates in Japan. The game will pit the various Tales of characters in a fighting free-for-all, using their well-known Artes, locations from the different games, and even items from the various games, as well as each character's unique Mystic Arte.

The two male updates consist of Lloyd Irving and Senel Coolidge. Lloyd retains his Mystic Arte from Tales of Symphonia, Falcon's Crest. As can be seen in the video, he combines his two swords to form the Eternal Sword and then performs the Mystic Arte. Senel uses Lord of Creation, which was one of his higher-tier attacks in Tales of Legendia. Not surprisingly, most of his attacks are throwing-based.

The three female updates consist of Tear Grants, Rita Mordio, and Colette Brunel. Tear carries over many of her Artes from Tales of the Abyss, and uses Innocent Shine for her Mystic Arte --- no word if her second Mystic Arte, Fortune's Ark, will be included. Rita Mordio uses many of her mid-level spells from Tales of Vesperia (this time with almost instant cast), but no widespread spells like Tidal Wave were shown. She used Ancient Catastrophe for her Mystic Arte. The last character, Colette, also carries over some her attacks from Tales of Symphonia such as her chakram-based attacks, and uses Holy Judgment for her Mystic Arte. It is important to note that this attack does not auto-hit, instead firing at random in a wide area, unlike the other characters which focus on a specific area.
