Bandai Namco opened an official Tales of character popularity poll ahead of the Tales of Festival 2021 broadcast. The creation of this Tales of character popularity poll is also due to the recent release of Tales of Arise. The winners of the poll will be announced during the Tales of Festival 2021 broadcast in November. Players can vote in the poll from October 25 to November 7, 2021.
Votes can be submitted through a special website. However, those who intend on voting will need to have a Bandai Namco ID in order to participate. Additionally, Bandai Namco will create a special illustration featuring the winners of the poll. The first series of result announcements will release on November 15, 2021 and reveal the top bracket of winners. However, the full results will come out sometime during the Tales of Festival broadcast.
The Tales of Festival 2021 broadcast will feature a plethora of special guests, such as voice actors that have leant their talent to voice some of the more notable characters in the series. This includes the Japanese voice actors from Tales of Arise. Additionally, Kankaku Pierrot will perform live during the broadcast. Ayaka will also appear during the broadcast. However, it will only be a digital appearance. Ticket pre-orders are immediately available.
