The Fandom games are like minigame collections with a few battles spread through, if I recall right? I might be wrong, though.
Tales of the World series, though, is more like a Smash Bros. of the Tales series. You get a huge selection of Tales characters to use in battle, and can create your own hero and stuff.
If you've got a PSP, try Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology. It's pretty neat.
