Tales of Festival (テイルズ オブ フェスティバル) is a series of live events that act as celebrations of the Tales series. They take place annually, usually at Yokohama Arena. In recent years, due to the pandemic, they’ve been happening towards the end of the year (December), rather than in the summer (June)–although for 2023 it looks like they’re back to summer, and they’re skipping 2022.

I recently managed to snag a bunch of the BDs and currently have these:
2013 (1700)
2014 (2500)
2015 (2700)
2016 (3900)
2017 (3400)
2019 (3900)

Will be on the lookout for 2018 and the recent ones 2020+, but they are not high priority atm??

I’ve probably watched a number of the older 2000s ones but don’t remember too much out of them, if I still have them on my hard drives somewhere I might give them another watch.

2013 – Miyano Mamoru and Toriumi Kousuke together, it’s going to hard to top this one already lol.

2014 –

2015 –

2016 –

2019 –

Day 1: Secret guest Horiuchi Kenyuu (Artorius), to go along with Rina Satou’s Velvet.

The guild is low on funds, so they pick up some part-time work at the beach. Flynn shows up and gets sus cuz the gang doesn’t have a special permit to sell on the beach. Yuri complains about Flynn wearing armor at the beach. Giant octopus shows up, the gang saves the day and cook it up to make more food. Flynn gives Yuri a temporary permit after they beat up the octopus. What a good boyfriend.
Raven goes around drinking out their paychecks and causing other trouble.

Karol feels inferior as the guild’s boss, so he tries to take on a bunch of requests on his own. The rest of the gang help out in secret. Secret’s out by the end of the farce obviously, but everyone learns a good lesson.

Rita gets super pissed off at Raven for getting in her way while she’s studying a Blastia. The Blastia drops into the stew they’re eating and explodes. The explosion causes everyone to switch bodies (except Repede).
Original -> The body they got switched into
Raven -> Yuri
Yuri -> Karol
Karol -> Raven
Patty -> Judith
Estelle -> Patty
Rita -> Estelle
Judith -> Rita

Karol and Judith (Yuri and Patty) come across Flynn in the streets. Yuri (as Karol) greets Flynn as usual. Flynn confused. “nanoja?”
Rita (as Estelle) gets rowdy trying to haggle a merchant. Almost blows him up when Flynn stops her. “Shut up, get lost! Shoo, shoo!” Flynn shocked. “Estellize-sama told me shoo, shoo… no way…!” Tries to convince himself he’s having a nightmare. Rita tries to use Estelle’s speech patterns, with a lot of extra desu-desu, to get Flynn to move on. Flynn ends up running off (as ordered), still traumatized.

Flynn comes across Yuri (who’s actually Raven…), thinks he found just the right guy to blow some steam off after his experience with “Estelle”, thinking Yuri’s a bad influence. Yuri/Raven is super drunk. Tries to get “Flynn-chan” to join him, but Flynn’s on-duty. Karol (as Raven) comes in crying about guild troubles.

Flynn rants off to Yuri (Raven), who falls asleep in the middle of it. Yuri (Raven) tries to get Flynn to join for drinks again. Girls at the bar beckon Yuri (Raven), who’s all “aw yeah, my hair’s so nice and all! Hahahahaaha”. Flynn escapes in confusion. Pinches himself and finally admits it’s reality.

Patty (Judith) and Rita (Estelle) end up getting hired at a neko-mimi cafe o_o;

Judith (Patty) clings onto Karol (Yuri) as they end up as bodyguards for a job and get all sorts of weird attention. Some thugs try to yoink cutlery from their client. Karol (Yuri) steps in. Realizes he doesn’t have his weapon and starts looking into Karol’s bag. There’s a kendama, a partially eaten piece of bread, socks… Repede steps in just in time. Karol borrows Repede’s dagger to do some SOUHAJIN.
Karol (Yuri) cleans up and spreads Karol’s and Brave Vesperia’s name, but also calls out that the swords the merchant is selling aren’t from the Knights as the merchant claims. Leaves the scene as cool as always.

After recovering from the body switch, Yuri complains about the hangover. He and Estelle come across Flynn (traumatized).
Estelle fixes the trauma.
Karol and Rita get chased around town. Rita has fans who love her neko-mimi personality….

Flynn approaches Yuri with a request he specifically wants to request him–Trouble with bandits.
Flynn needs to take over a cake shop for the mission… and he needs Yuri’s help for it, as someone skilled with desserts.
Flynn tries to recommend adding salt to the baking chef’s cake, or adding green peppers as lavish…

Raven and Judith go cake shopping together for a guild request to buy a cake for someone’s daughter.
Karol (with Rita) misunderstands Yuri’s situation and thinks Yuri’s quitting the guild to start a cake shop with the knights because of Karol’s incompetency as a boss.

The cake shop owner hires one more to the shop since they’re getting busier… it’s Patty.
Patty adds… tuna to her cake, and Flynn likes it of course.
Estelle looks for a cat for a request.
Anyway, they finally get a lead to the bandits, so the trio infiltrate with a cake delivery.
As they have the bandit cornered, Estelle happens to drop by in her search for the cat. Bandit tries to take her hostage, makes everyone drop their weapons and step back.
Estelle “Is this a bad guy?”
Flynn fills her in on the situation. Estelle pikohans the bandit.

Cake shop owner will always welcome Yuri to join if his guild gig ever dries up. :3

Rita seiyuu compliments Estelle seiyuu’s big brain play in asking for a island resort vacation, recorded and edited into DVD as an extra for fans who get the Talesring V CDs lol

Vesperia budget is in the red (again). Karol runs an audit on their expenses.
Turns out Raven has been spending them on lewd things (again).
Estelle also got scammed into buying two of the same useless potato processor things… XD
Patty spends a lot on fishing lures. She doesn’t catch fish with them, and ends up buying them from the fishermen.
Judith buys expensive sun tan cream.
Repede gets extra toppings for his dog food.
Karol buys… things to get taller.
Everyone is expected to not spend on unnecessary things and be transparent about what they’re buying going forward.
Flynn is on the lookout for a scamming circle involving sham investments, and Karol freaks out a bit since he just did an investment, but turns out his investment wasn’t part of the scam. Karol (and Patty) manage to get a big return for the guild funds. Karol goes on full rich snob mode and almost gets a bronze statue of himself made to tout his money.
Another dude gets Karol’s money to invest in an “Eggbear cafe” and all of a sudden, all of the money is gone. Flynn comes in again with a picture of the leader of the scam circle… and Karol realizes he’s done the wrong thing.
Flynn + Brave Vesperia join up to take down the scam circle themselves.~ When the boss is cornered, he tries to bribe himself out of the situation. Karol finishes him off personally.
Yuri confesses in the end that he did some unnecessary spending as well, with an ancient sword training book.
Instead of going back into rich snob mode, Brave Vesperia gives the money to the daycare that Estelle is doing a request for, who needed the money for repairs.
