Tales of 20th Anniversary: Tales of Taizen 1995-2016 is the definitive encyclopedic companion to the entire Tales of franchise, published by Kadokawa in December 2015 to celebrate the series' 20th anniversary. A massively expanded and revised edition of the earlier Tales of 15th Anniversary: Tales of Taizen 1995-2011, this 847-page A5 softcover covers the full sweep of the franchise from Tales of Phantasia in 1995 through Tales of Zestiria in 2015, documenting every mainline mothership title and escort title released across those two decades. With character artwork from series designers Mutsumi Inomata and Kosuke Fujishima throughout, this is the most comprehensive single-volume reference ever produced for the Tales of series and a must-own for any serious collector or fan of the franchise.
