Viva - Tales Of! (ビバ☆テイルズ オブ！ Biba☆Teiruzu Obu!?) is a series of animated shorts that were released as DVD preorder bonuses for various Tales games released in Japan. Each DVD usually features characters from the game it is packaged with. These characters are then interviewed by Zelos Wilder from Tales of Symphonia and Jade Curtiss from Tales of the Abyss. The interviews are conducted in the form of voice-acted skits, similar to those seen in various Tales games.
Versions[]
Apple Gummy[]
Apple Gummy was given away with pre-orders of Tales of Phantasia: Full Voice Edition. It features Cress Albane, Mint Adenade, Chester Burklight, Arche Klein, Claus F. Lester, and Suzu Fujibayashi, all from Tales of Phantasia. Apple Gummy is a reminisce over the elements of the series that began in Tales of Phantasia, from the novel inclusion of a voiced song for the game's opening and its development into fully animated opening movies to the series's iconic Linear Motion Battle System and its evolutions.
Orange Gummy[]
Orange Gummy was given away with pre-orders of the PlayStation 2 version of Tales of Destiny. It features Stahn Aileron, Rutee Katrea, Leon Magnus, and briefly Bruiser Khang, all from Tales of Destiny. Orange Gummy pokes fun at the various money woes of the characters and the ways they attempt alleviate their burden, often satirizing the marketing ploys the franchise itself makes.

Lemon Gummy was given away with pre-orders of Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology. It features Reid Hershel from Tales of Eternia, Lloyd Irving from Tales of Symphonia, Veigue Lungberg from Tales of Rebirth, Senel Coolidge from Tales of Legendia, and Luke fon Fabre from Tales of the Abyss. Of the featured characters, Veigue is the only character that does not actually appear in Radiant Mythology. Lemon Gummy features the characters coming up with new types of spin-offs for the Tales series, each of which references an element of the proposing character's game of origin.
Peach Gummy[]
Peach Gummy was given away with pre-orders of the PlayStation Portable version of Tales of Destiny 2. It features Kyle Dunamis, Reala, Judas, and Barbatos Goetia, all from Tales of Destiny 2. Peach Gummy explores the concept of heroes and villains in the franchise while it features an affectionate parody of some of the game's characteristics.

It features Kanonno Earhart from Radiant Mythology 2, Chelsea Torn from Tales of Destiny, Meredy from Tales of Eternia, Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear from Tales of the Abyss, and Karol Capel and Repede from Tales of Vesperia. Golden Gummy is based around the fact that none of the featured characters save for Kanonno are present in the game and features a competition for a position in a then-hypothetical third Radiant Mythology game as well as what it takes to make it in.
