Other Appearances
...i know i've heard that name somewhere
In addition to Tales of the Abyss, Jade makes a few other appearances in various forms of media. First of all, Jade
appears in the manga adaptations of the game, serialized in the Degenki Maou magazine and also released in book format.
In addition to the official manga, Jade's character also appears in both the Dash and
Shiro no ashita novels, 4-koma anthologies, drama CDs, and radio shows (Tales Ring the Abyss). However, these materials probably won't make
an appearance outside of Japan.
Jade also make a cameo on the Viva Tales of DVD extras, featured with many newly released games in the series. He co-hosts the animated
talk show-like episodes (by means of skit faces) alongside Zelos Wilder of Tales of Symphonia fame. Basically, Jade and Zelos attempt to interview various
characters from the Tales of series and usually end up in some sort of comedic conflict. You can find some translated scenes on
Youtube.
So far, Jade only makes one cameo in another video game: Tales of Fandom 2, a
Namco released game featuring Tales characters designed by Kosuke Fujishima. Jade's storyline apparently deals with a conflict over a supposed
illegitimate heir of Emperor Peony in addition to an assassination plot.
Jade even has to enlist the help of Guy and Anise. Looks like an interesting adventure.
