As I said on another post, I really wanted to love this game, but it just isn't very good. The story is beyond boring (as are the characters). Almost every fight is over in about 30-45 seconds and they feel like a chore, so I ended up avoiding more fights than I participated in. The only good thing about this game is the aesthetic. This isn't worth the time to play it, with so many better games out there.
Damn this game got cheap fast. Seems like an exponential decrease since it hit $15 a year or two ago, but it's worth every dollar. I really enjoyed it, even if the final dungeon was a bit tedious.

The story was good for me, not sure why there are complaints. It isn't going to blow your socks off but it's still pretty solid. I also really liked the main characters in your party and the optional side conversations were nice.

Combat is subjective but chaining combos was satisfying to me. The only complaint I had regarding the story was the villain who is a little lackluster.

Thanks for the info. I haven't played this one yet, but I enjoy the older Tales of games.

Agreed. Berseria had a more engaging compelling story with stronger main characters.

Berseria is the one to play, for sure. It's a lot better.

Yeah. Some of the older games are definitely better. Particularly Tales of Berseria.

I must agree with those who say that older Tales games are better. I'm a long-time fan and have some of the imported games, like Rebirth.

Unfortunately, I also must disagree on this one looking nicer. It may at first, but once you really scrutinize it, environments start to feel very samey, like pregenerated and too symmetrical assets, almost. There isn't a lot of soul, just a lot of cold, superficially pretty but otherwise boring environments.

It's okay, but it's a very by-the-numbers JRPG that is more concerned with eye candy than substance.

Vesperia is on sale a lot and has far more lovingly crafted environments. I'd personally recommend it as a great example of the Tales series.

Berseria is all right, but it sort of signaled the downfall of the franchise aesthetically for me. Too many boring, perfect walls, empty fields, and blase settings. Arise pretended to make up for it by relying on an external engine to make up for the lack of artistic care.

... Er, I guess this isn't a video game forum, so that's enough ranting from me, haha.

ok game, generic environments like most 3d tales games. Money better spend elseware (DQ11 definitly) It's sad the DLC for arise is so expensive else it would be a buy.

I bought this when it was about $13 earlier this year and couldn't finish it. I played it on hard mode to make combat more interesting but the enemy variety and environments lost their allure about 20 hours in. I did enjoy the characters and dialogue overall.
