There's great games in the series and some that are just so so. But this one is for sure a great game. Tales has always been "that other" JRPG next to Final Fantasy. But they have a few games that surpass some FF games. Even the best ones
This game really brought out the kid in me again. I’m really taking my time exploring every map, talking to NPCs, and completing side quests 🥰 Arise really redeemed this franchise
Really amazing game! Stylish combat with depth, beautiful graphics, well-polished system, attractive story and characters. Definitely the best RPG this year.
Brilliant game and its been 5 years since Berseria! And even Berseria was cross gen title between PS3 & PS4! So next gen Tales is absolutely fantastic! The love Arise is getting is fully deserved! So glad ppl get to experience Tales now

Main character voiced by Noctis, Final Fantasy 15.... one of the minor characters is voiced by Tartaglia, Genshin Impact. It made the game feel more familiar by being familiar with voice actors from other rpgs.
Tales of Arise is an amazing and immersive game that keeps you entertained and more importantly fascinated by the sheer experience that I’ve wanted so long in the Tales series.
@@cobrakaiX It's not like the Witcher were you're able to make choices that influence the story. Tales of Arise tries to let you understand the choices made by the protagonist and then you get the feel of certain aspects of the game as a whole.
@@OnizenArt well you´re suppose to hate Luke the first part of the game so you see his redemtion for the rest of the game, he is probably the Tales of MC with the best character development in the series.

eh after that last star ocean game they really fell off a cliff. would say its on par with Final Fantasy imo. Gameplay has always been better in Tales than FF but FF got that $$$ polish to it.
Everyone ignores DLCs or they don't know anything about it. If you want to finish the game 100% and unlock all skill maps, you have to buy the ultimate version of the game. Outfit dlc doesn't just contain clothes
Fantastic game. Beautiful scenery very smooth gameplay the combat aspect is clean and simple easy to understand. 10/10 in my eyes there’s a lot of hours to be played I’m only 3 hours in.
Why does the game have an unlocked framerate in resolution mode on PS5 /SX? Doesn't do the performance a big favour, tbh. 30fps with better lod would have been the better solution here.
if only genshin impact can see this and make the game were all 4 of our chosen characters can fight alongside and we can switch to any character we want from those 4
Loving the game for sure. Confused on how you unlock new Artes other than the skill grid. It seems totally random how they unlock in middle of battles. Does it pretty much just come down to spamming a certain Arte til it possibly unlocks another???
If you go into the skills section, of each character, you'll notice on all artes, there's a count number, each time you reach that limit (by using that arte) you'll expand on it
Only certain one unlock other artes by proficiency. But not all. If you want to unlock the others, you'll have to progress further into the story in order to gain new ones.
Recently moved outta my parents house but left the PS4 for them. Kinda bummed this isn’t on switch but at least Tales of Vesperia is like 80% off for me! Tales of Xillia was my first
The game seems to be explore an area, beat the lord, meet new character, go to their land explore the area, beat the lord rinse and repeat. Does it ever switch up the formula?
Well, we reviewed it on the 10th, when it came out. But we weren't able to get the video review done and posted to UA-cam until today. Busy week last week with all the PlayStation news.
There's lots they haven't reviewed. Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous released on the 3rd this month. It seems they did review Tales of arise a week ago though, apparently it's just the video that was later.
