Spirit Tales takes the chibi style of anime about as far as you can stand it, with wide-eyed and bushy-eared heroes trundling around a brightly-colored fantasy world blowing up walking flowers, ticked-off insects and various other cute foes with names like "Daisybug" and "Flowerling." Defeating enemies levels you up and gives you additional abilities, just like most traditional MMOs do. However, you have another power at your disposal: the ability to channel an ancient animal spirit through your body, temporarily becoming a combat powerhouse and changing your avatar into a souped-up spirit. Each tribe has their own patron spirit, visible during character creation, so you can customize how it looks when you flip the switch from "cute fox sorceror" to "ferocious avatar of fire and destruction."
