Battle System
Continuing the Tales of series' Linear Motion Battle System, Tales of Innocence uses the "Dimension Stride Linear Motion Battle System" (DS-LMBS). Combining the "Flex-Range Linear Motion Battle System" (FR-LMBS) of Tales of the Abyss and the "Aerial Linear Motion Battle System" (AR-LMBS) of Tales of Destiny (PS2), it allows players to move around the field in full 3D movement and the ability to use attacks and skills in mid-air.
Like Tales of the Tempest, Tales of Innocence uses only three playable characters per battle. The player controls one character, and the AI controls the other two characters in the battle. Using the L button, players are able to freely switch between characters when the AI cannot help in a situation, switching characters to manually do different actions, or to link attacks better.
Tales of Innocence also introduces the "Tension Gauge", a gauge that increases based on your performance of attacks in battle. Once the bar is full, the character enters the "Awakening" state. Movement speed and attack power are increased, and TP consumption and chanting time are decreased, allowing for more powerful attacks and longer combos. Also, during Awakening, simultaneously pressing the L and R buttons together activates "Infinity Jam", which for a short time lets you create a long combination of attacks, and lets you switch between the three characters used in the battle freely for better connection of attacks.
