Namco Bandai has a pair of smartphone Tales of games coming up, and they're both quite different from one another. Tales of Link offers up a fresh story, while Tales of Bibliotheca sums up sagas past with original battles thrown in for good measure. You can see both in action thanks to the recently released trailers below. 

Tales of Link's story centers on the young swordsman Shiza and the adventurer Sara, who are on a quest to seal the Seed of Disaster. As Siliconera notes, characters from previous Tales of games appear to be showing their faces, as well, including Asbel from Tales of Graces f and Judith from Tales of Vesperia. 

Tales of Bibliotheca is a collection of Tales of stories put together by The World Ends with You developer Jupiter. The first of 12 chapters covers Tales of Vesperia, with that and the subsequent chapters set to include story summaries and illustration from their respective games. The event scenes contain their original voice acting, and the iOS game will also feature original battles.

Chapter 1 of Tales of Bibliotheca is free. The rest will be ¥170 a piece or ¥1,700 ($18) for the full package.
