Tales Channel+, the official Tales of series web portal, has begun a new countdown—counting down the days left “until something happens”—featuring the protagonists of the series.

The 16th day started (and passed) with Sorey from Tales of Zestiria, and is counting down the protagonists from there. (Games Talk managed to get a hold of the countdown images up until eight days remain.) For example:

Day 15 – Ludger from Tales of Xillia 2

Day 14 – Jude and Milla from Tales of Xillia

Day 13 – Asbel from Tales of Graces

Day 12 – Kor from Tales of Hearts

Day 11 – Yuri from Tales of Vesperia

Day 10 – Emil from Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

Day 9 – Luca from Tales of Innocence

Day 8 – Caius from Tales of the Tempest

The countdown ends on December 15, the 20th anniversary of the Tales of series. (The first game, Tales of Phantasia, launched for Super Famicom on December 15, 1995.)
