Just wanted to say that the TOP OVA came out on January 16 and the DVD site on it is officially up http://www.talesofphantasiadvd.com/ Below I've compiled a list of the voice actors, courtesy from animenewsnetwork and differences in the game, courtesy from wiki. I personally can't wait to buy it ;D Seeing these lovable characters in anime form would be very heart warming, as of I had good memories with the game. The OVA consists of 4 episodes.
Plot
The plot of the OVA is generally based on the game's plot, but there are details in the anime that are not in the game, namely, additional scenes and dialogue. However, the episodes themselves focus on the party's encounters with Dhaos and the scenes involving the Tree of Life and the Elves, omitting a great portion of the story told in the original game.
Differences from the game
Cless uses a sword throughout the entire series, although he is capable of wielding a spear or an axe in the game.
Mint witnessed Mars murdering her mother, whereas in the game she only fears that her mother is dead until she discovers her mother's earring.
Arche's mother does not appear in the scenes with the Elves in episode 3.
As stated above, large portions of the game are omitted in this animated series.
