Tales of Hearts

Tales of Hearts is the 11th main game in the Tales of series and follows the story of Sing Meteorite and Kohaku Hearts. The setting takes place on a planet with two moons, on a peaceful continent united and ruled by Maximus Empire. But in recent years, a mysterious illness known as "despir" started plaguing the residents. Organic weapons known as "xeroms" are attacking people's "spirias", essences of human emotions. But there is a way to fight xeroms, and that is with "soma" mystery armor which has the ability to hide spiria link.

Sing, the protagonist, is just an ordinary boy who lives in a remote village, who is due to meet Kohaku, the heroine, who is attacked by xerom. And thus, their grand adventure begins.
