Bandai Namco celebrates 30 years of Tales of Phantasia
Tales of Phantasia for Super Famicom launched 30 years ago, today. Developed by Wolf Team, and featuring writing and programming by Yoshiharu Gotanda, Phantasia is the first installment in the long-running "Tales of" franchise.

The Sony PlayStation edition of the game launched in Japan in December of 1998. The action role-playing game debuted in English-language regions with the localization of the Game Boy Advance port in 2006. Soundtracks for each of these Tales of Phantasia home console and portable editions are now available on streaming platforms.

The 84-track digital albums are now playing on Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited, and YouTube Music, published by record label Bandai Namco Game Music.
