Same, I love it
I wanted to come back to this review after putting 45+ hours in the game and I must say, BEST game I’ve played in a while I’m loving it so much I never get tired of the combat and the dialogue and character interactions make everything so much better
Is there anything to do after the 45 hours of story?
@@Nejithebesta yup in fact I’m still not done with the story yet and I only side quested for about an hour and 30 so far with plenty side quest left
@Silverpwn I'm getting my ps 5 soon
Is the story worth it
@@imadkhristo6422 I’d say go for it if you want to get invested into a nice story with addictive combat. I’ve finished the game now but looking back on it, it was really good and I enjoyed my run through.
@@mariodude247 apptiate the replay :)
This game takes everything we loved from the Tales series and 1 ups everything in my own opinion. I started with Tales of Symphonia. I have only played roughly a few hours and kust now got to Balseph. In that time, I interacted with every NPC to find the world building unique and catering to a real and feasible situation to understand. I took the paths that were out of the way only to find hidden items, owls, and boss monsters. It's a great feeling to see the new system of AG since in previous Tales games, you had to manage your AG more carefully. The combat feels fluid taking it from Berseria's open camera with a focus to one creature for ease of battlefield awareness and Arte usage. Alongside this, they've added the crafting system and fleshed out the cooking system to be exactly what all Tales game could have used. It's nice to see that the skits changed to a comic style which gives me a Manga feel. Any cutscenes and full animation scenes blew me away. The intro alone gave me chills and I hope and wish they make it into a real anime series like they did with Tales of Symphonia. Overall, if you've ever wanted to try a Tales series game, or are a long time fan on the edge, do yourself a favor and buy the game.
I find you one of the best reviewers out there, really good honest opinions, in a not overly long video. I always watch your reviews before deciding on a buy. I really appreciate your time and energy you put into these!
Do I have to play other games 1st or can I just jump onto this game?

@@dannydanny6215 You can jump into it!
This game sucks! What are you talking about.
@@Dj1nfernotv how? It's so good. Action, characters, story, good game play and amazing graphics.
This game has everything I was looking for. It's not some of the annoying jrpgs I've seen. It's really good.
If you hate it. Then I guess this genre is not for you.
As for me, I'm thirsting for more games like this.
Also it's amazingly optimized. Best game of 2021 for me.
This is probably going to be my first tales series I'll buy, thanks Jake for making this video.
Fax
Me to.
Try tales of abyss, it’s so good story-wise
If you guys want a really good tales. Get tales of symphonia. Omg.... soooooo good!!!
Really good one is Duck Tales.......
Played it at PAX West this year, day 1 buy for me.
So it's worth investing in
well made
Who asked?
@CHEFPK I watched you play it at PAX West this year, day 1 buy for me.
@@NemesisEP1 I watched you watch CHEFPK play this game at PAX West this year, day 1 buy for me.
I think it’s a perfect sequel game. It kept the soul of the series while improving on the game design. The fact that the weapons change as they get upgraded is big.
I've played a few Tales games but this one is on a totally different level. It feels like they were finally given the budget to do what they wanted with the series, upgrade to a modern engine, really focus on polish, and it paid major dividends.
I'm a big JRPG fan and honestly I think this is my favorite since FFX, so that gives a sense of how long it's been since I enjoyed a JRPG this much.
This is exactly what I said too myself today, my favorite JRPG since FFX. I'm at what I presume is the half way mark with the red woman just showing up and this game is awesome! My only complaint is them stopping every ten feet to talk, they never shut up.
I've been playing Tales games since Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Destiny. Already have Arise downloaded and I can't wait to play through another grandiose adventure starting tomorrow.
Same here
was so fucking impressed by phantasia 15 years ago (my first JRPG), cant wait to play this new
Tales of symphonia was my first, such beautiful games.
destiny was my first, chibi avatar and all but great story and combat. my last tales was xillia , I don't have the time to play jrpg no more
Yeah I just finished preloading it. Honestly I wanted to go in blind but when I saw this video was published I just couldn't help myself since Gameranx usually does a good job of avoiding major story spoilers. Edit: Also since everyone's saying theirs I've been there from the very beginning (NA localized, not Japanese) with Tales of Destiny. I really enjoyed Berseria and having the story centered around anti-heros so I'm glad they're sticking with the more mature vibe of that game even if they aren't strictly anti-heroes like that one.
Cannot wait to play this game and it will be the first Tales game I've ever played.
If you have a pc, I would suggest getting tales of vesperia at some point if you enjoy this after playing tales of Arise. Vesperia's characters are so good. Story was great.
@@DragonNinjaGaming Got a PS5 and working on getting my gaming PC built.
I'd recommend Berseria over Vesperia honestly but eh, everyones got an opinion and nobody is wrong for having it. I just enjoyed that you weren't traditional heroes in Berseria which they have usually been in the Tales series.
I recommend you play Tales of Bersia, and Tales of Vesperia after playing Arise :)
Welcome to the club
This entry into the Tales series has been absolute refreshing experience and I can't wait to keep playing this game. From the moment the intro kicked in I was hooked.
If you are new to the tales series and you wanna dive into it, this is a good starting point. If you wanna backtrack, definitely plays tales of Symphonia because this game is heavily inspired by that. Tales of Graces F is a personal favorite of mine. Tales of the abyss is more than worth your time. Tales of Xillia 1 & 2 is always worth a mention.
I started with Tales of Symphonia, and have enjoyed every tales game since. I am so stoked to start playing this.
I started at Vesperia and never looked back. Bought every one after and also went back with the remasters of symphonia and abyss. Even bought the vesperia remaster. My opinion is there is no bad Tales game, just those that are better and those that are worse.
@@Silvamoon You're absolutely right, no such thing as a bad tales game. So I'm confused where people have been saying the series needs a reboot. I mean I know they aren't perfect no game is, but they are always good games.
@@Awestruckhero21 Ive never finished one lol Symphonia on game cube was my first
I think what got me into ToS was Lloyd's VA being the same as Robin from Teen Titans, which is so popular at the time.
I started with tales of graces f but my brother had tales of symphonia 2 and our cousin had tales of symphonia and I haven't looked back
After looking over the comments I find it stunning how many people have never played a Tales game before. Tales of the Abyss and Tales of Berseria have been my favorite Tales games so far. It looks like this game might become one of my favorites too!
Never even heard of the series before.
Well there's a couple factors that can account for it. A lot of people just don't play JRPG's for one, the second is they may just be to young to have been around when some of the earlier games in the series came out but perhaps the most notable reason is Bandai/Namco has never really pushed the Tales series hard via marketing. Arise is the first time I've ever seen a Tales game on Steams homepage, the rest are just hidden beneath more popular series during publisher sales. I mean Tales isn't unknown but it definitely doesn't have the fanbase or clout of competitors like Final Fantasy and SMT: Persona.
I've known about the Tales game for a while now but I never played any of the Tales game before because they've always looked like cheap JRPGs with low production quality. I may be a fan of JRPGs but I don't just play any JRPGs on the market.
Although, for Tales of Arise, I'm genuinely interested in checking it out because it actually looks good.
jc9622 i thought the same until I actually tried it, they’re definitely far from cheap imo. Tales of vesperia is the one that got me hooked
Berseria had my favorite Tales story. Really good
Excellent game 9.5 out of 10 for me
im downloading right now your comment hypes me up not gonna lie
@@kevinschm9798 nice let me know how you like it
@@MannyloAnimeSquad just defeated ganabelt and so far the game is great dat boss was hard af i played on hard from the beginning but there i had to lower the difficulty i died like 10 times in hatd
@@kevinschm9798 this would be the first tales game that I have played since 2008. After downloading it what are your thoughts and game rating so far?
@Nomi Plays for me 8,5 /10 was a good game and took a lobg time to play through did all sidequest took me over 80 hours maybe a bit too long but thats aost every jrpg for me in de end i skipped almost all skits but it was really worth my time i loved the fights
I miss the multiplayer but I love the passion and care Namco put into this. I hope Namco can somehow implement that trademark staple in the future. With that said, I’m a long time fan. Like a ton of westerner, I was introduce to the series with Symphonia on the GC. It and Abyss remains my favorite two in the series. This game looks amazing though, I would be surprise if doesn’t bump of those two as my favorites or at least comes close.
This entire series is amazing, some really great storylines and many memorable characters.
I'd highly recommend people try the other tales games too. It's such a fun franchise, and one of the few RPGs that supports couch coop with up to 4 characters. My first was tales of the abyss on the ps2. Personally my favorite are tales of berseria and tales of vesperia.
true. though just a reminder to readers, Tales of Arise will NOT have couch coop this time around.
@@Belgariad87 big oof
@@xxvimilia does this game have romance options like some other rpgs?
Anyone can get Symphonia for $5, and should try it out.
Especially since this seems to be nothing like a tales of game.
Just started this based on your review. Gotta say, I'm only a couple hours in and I LOVE it. Everything is so grandiose - the story, the music, the scope of everything. I've been searching for a new RPG to really sink my teeth into, and I think this is it.
I wanna buy this game should I pick this one up I love a good story when it comes to games
The past few titles have been hit or miss, but one thing that's always improving is the combat mechanics. The ways you can customize all your directional inputs alongside your abilities makes for some very flashy combos (especially so in Bersaria) so I'm looking forward to this.
Man my first introduction to the tales of series is Symphonia and my favorite game is abyss but it’s good to see new people being introduced to the tales of series
I seen you before.
Sorry bud but others have been playing the tales series b4 u so ur not special.
My first was the Abyss remake on the 3ds and I was blown away like where did this random game come from lol
Same my first was also Symphonia back in 2004. Played every tales game since it's cool to so many more people paying attention to it this time lol
EVERYWHERE MAN your everywhere like how i am.
It’s a buy from me then! This game has been on my radar since it was announced so I’m glad to see it’s worth the pick up for you guys!
HYPEEEE
It's a pirate for me
@@kasam77 😭
Ps plus extra anyone?
Me
Tales of Berseria was my first Tales games and I loved everything about it, specially the story twists. Looking forward to play Tales of Arise soon.
I really like the Tales series, can't wait to play this.
How long it’ll take you to get into it you think?
Not good
@@StillTendo everyone is entitled to their opinions but we can agree that the game is a good step forward for the franchise. Perhaps some minor faults can be improved upon in future titles.
@@SouthBayLA1310 You mean get to the core story and combat? Based off previous Tales games the first 4-6 hours are really introductory and then build from there and become much more interesting both combat and story wise.
@@lapsedilationdrive3943 not if its lost the tales of feel. Played every one of them since destiny and this is nothing like one.
You really sound like you were enjoying this one, Jake. I was curious to see this installment's reception, but it seems it's a must buy. Its story reminds me a little the plot of Star Ocean as well
It s heavy inspired by Star Ocean. You can swap the Title and still remain a coherent game.
I've been playing for 46h now and this game is just amazing. The combat is deep and complex, with a ton of things to choose before and during battle.
I'm enjoying as well at 10h. The story builds and builds and the relationships grow. Really nice!
Tales of Vespeira has got to be my favorite. I’ll be getting this for sure though! I have played many of the tales games and this will be something fresh and new ✌️
I Compleated Arise and started on Versperia and boy oh boy, it is a good one. IMO, not as good as arise, but still fun, have not completed it yet tho.
Berseria was my favorite but now Arise is likely going to be my new favorite.
From all of the games I have played, Velvet has the best development as a character. By the end of the game she was a completely different person then the monster that was thrown in prison.
@@Awestruckhero21 Yup sure was.
Berseria was easily my favorite as well. Arise looks good but I haven't seen enough of it to claim it will take the top spot away from Berseria just yet. I certainly hope it's that good but Berseria set a high bar.
Berseria was my potential favourite until they screwed up the ending. Tales series have gone 3 consecutives games with terrible "MC sacrifice" plot. I want to buy this game but im not sure if they repeat the same bs ending again because from all i've seen the story kinda dark giving me Berseria vibes which potentially they screw up another ending again.
@@ZandatsuGaming How tf is that a bad ending tho lol. It made sense and fit really well
I've played every western release of this series (minus mobile releases) and I am beyond excited for this one.
Thanks man, I was looking into this because I was fairly interested in the general vibes it was giving off, but I didn’t want to even start thinking about that “buy now” button until I saw some gameplay and non-sponsored talk.
Great stuff. I’m probably gonna get this one once I finish my current game.
Man I've just finished this game and loving every minute of it. This game feels more final fantasy than the actual final fantasy made by square enix.
im contemplating getting this so just for context what is your favourite and "most final fantasy"of the final fantasy games?
@@thishandleistacken right? There have been 15 main entries and like 20 others, which ff are they talking about? Lol. Not to mention there hasn’t been a single ff made in this cell-shaded anime art style. So confused
Cringe...
@@akou12 ah yeh the cringe of feeling the dramatic changes from turn based to active in FF is of course incomparable to the middle ground Tales has been taking. There's also the immense emphasis on character interaction and development woven into gameplay. My favorite FF is 9 followed by 6 then 7 and while Ive never been all that into Tales it isn't cringe for someone to feel the way they do since there are actual arguments one could make
The last Tales game I played was Vesperia and I loved it. Really wanna play another Tales again.
Edit: This comment now makes no sense since I mixed the games up. Still the basic idea that most of the Tales games are linked but are perfectly playable without playing the others still stands. You just miss out on in jokes and some fun lore bits.
I know I'm coming across as a fanboy because I've mentioned it so often but if you liked Zestiria I strongly recommend Berseria. Not just because it's my favorite in the series but also because it's directly related to Zestiria and while it's in not a traditional prequel there are still major events and characters that you met in Zestiria who are party members in Berseria.
@@Goldenkitten1 Zestiria is actually the one that's connected to Berseria, not Vespiria ;)
@@Road_to_Dawn Yeah I realized that after I laid down but since I'm on my phone no edit button. But yes you're correct.
....
Edit: hey look, I was wrong again. Fixed :p
Try berseria if you haven't already.
I’ve actually never heard of these games, but I’m exited to try it
They're pretty cool, the combat system is awesome. It's like a hybrid between turn based and real time action. Movement and moves cost a certain amount of points(in the older ones anyway) so you have to strategize what you're doing a bit, which can lead to some really awesome combos.
Graces F and Xillia are great, slightly more dated obviously.
I would also recommend tales of vesperia
Berseria was the last one and by far my favorite, I'm sure I'll enjoy Arise as I love all the games in the series but Berseria set such a high benchmark for me that Arise is going to have to be very special to take the top spot from it. I just really liked that you played as anti-heroes in Berseria where most of the cast was in some way a little evil and did things none of the heroes from previous games would think of doing even if they inevitably took down a greater evil than themselves. They were basically the Deadpool of traditionally melodramatic JRPG's.
You are in for a treat.
@@mrcheesemunch kinda like ff7 remakes combat? Or still different
The only one I Played was Tales of Symphonia on GameCube. It is one of my favorite games ever. The combat felt so fresh 20yrs ago. I tried Tales of Xillia 2 and Tales of Berseria but neither clicked for me and I ended up getting bored. So it's been a while thank you for the rec
Finally got around to getting this. I have loved the franchise. This has just enough upgrades though. The characters and story has got my attention right away with the usual tropes but slight twists which I like. I also like how they kinda combine the asthetics of the previous games in the environments. The main thing I like though is the combat. Only a few hrs in I can see how fluid it is. So easy to pull off combos and string character attacks together. It's all fluid. The first big boss was so well balanced too. Forced me on to use strategy. Not hard but I couldn't win by just button mashing I had to learn to dodge and counter too. Love it. Just the refresh the games needed.
Started with Eternia and now I'm here. So happy to have played the Tales games over the years.
Tales of symphonia was what broke my tales virginity, since then i've played a lot of the series but never actually ended finishing any other than ToS. I feel like this one might be the next one that i'll be able to commit to all the way.
Similar story here, Symphonia was my first one almost a decade ago. Since then, I scrounged around and acquired a copy of every Tales game that was released in the west, and even one that wasn't, just for funsies (Innocence R). I've played all of them to a point, but Xillia 1 is the only one I've actually gotten around to finishing. Beyond that, I've gotten the farthest in Abyss, Berseria, and Symphonia. Arise may end up being my 2nd one to beat!
Virginity💀😂
I only played tales of symphonia missed the other ones
Dude, you NEED to finish Vespiria, right up there with Symphonia as the best.
@@LordFinkenstein I heard about that game a lot will definitely check it out
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for this video. I was on the fence about whether or not I should play this game for so long and this was the video that convinced me to play it.
I got the platinum for the game over the Summer and just completed the recently released DLC expansion. Wasn’t expecting to put over 100+ hours in a game I was so unsure about whether or not I’d play, but here we are.
It’s February 2022 and I just finished my second play through of this game. I love it EVEN MORE.
I'm about to start my first playthrough...I've played almost every tales game out there and I'm super excited for this one!!!
Been playing Tales for a long time and this is definitely a step up in the series
Yikes.
Nah
@@33GLOCK hey it’s not zestaria at least 😂
I love the tales series starting with my personal favorite tales of symphonia! I encourage anyone who is just getting into the tales series to try a couple of the older ones as well after this! I have played almost all except tales of grace and honestly they are all unique and amazing!
My first installment in the Tales series is this one.
I'm only around 2 hours in, not too far coz of me roaming around trynna find anything to collect, but as far as I've gone, the story is great.
I especially especially love that OP kinda thing that happens before you even see the title screen
I played the entire game as Rinwell (when I could) once I got her and had a blast. I like that each character has a special combat strategy. I did big elemental damage.
i love the tales series. BandaiNamco nailed it again this time! been waiting to play this game since it was first announced... tried the demo a week ago and was mind blown by its sheer detail and gameplay. This proves single player JRPG game still rocks!
Bandai-Namco is my new favorite publisher. They've put out consistently amazing games for the last 3 or 4 years.
As a long time Tales fan, it's great to see so many people excited to play this game. Hopefully, this does well sales-wise to motivate Namco to bring the japan only games west due to an increase in interest.
oh it sold suuuper well dont worry buddy
Hey jake I have watching your videos. Really enjoy them. Btw I have a question tales of arise on graphics mode stutters on xbox and I am experiencing frame drops. Can you let me know if you are also experiencing stuttering frame rate drops on graphics mode on series x
I love how Tales that I played have same skill title. It's interesting to me because everytime the characters shout the skill it's bringing back memory about the previous series.
Was really curious about this game since I loved Vesperia. Thanks for the episode 👍
This year was when I discovered how great these games are. Love love love this series
My first Tales was Phantasia on the SNES but my favorite one is tales of Graces F, just because of the depth of the combat. When I heard Falcon saying this game's combat was inspired on that I knew for sure I was going to play this!
Hope Boston is doing well! Preordered this game. My first Tales game and I’m super excited for it.
I've never played a Tales game before and this has gotten my attention 👀
Might check it out one day.
I hope you give it a chance. Imo tales have been absolute bangers for the last 5 entries. Good humor and skits great world building. Amazing combat. Tales > final fantasy and star ocean series imho
@@7th_Link Yeah I can understand not being able to afford it at full price in the current economy. Still that may just offer you a chance to play one of the last few games that no longer are selling at full price.
Tales basically stepped in to carry the torch for good classical (but innovative) JRPG standard with Symphonia, just as Final fantasy started to flop off after FFX.
The two worlds concept of this game is similar to Tales of Eternia, where one is more technologically advanced than the other and both have a history of destructive wars. I hope this one has a much deeper story though.
Also somewhat similar to Symphonia.
And Tales of Xillia 2 as well
Two worlds are a staple of the series. Unfortunately, Arise does not stick the landing and it is on the short side and is very linear. The older games are also linear, but they do things in the older games to give the games a better sense of scale.
Symphonia, Xillia, Eternia, Phantasia, Graces, etc. Most Tales games use the 2 world concept to some extent. If you really want to stretch you could say that all of them use it as a base for their story telling.
Started with Tales of Symphonia and fell in love, I’ve played all but one tales that came after it (haven’t got around to playing Berseria) my favorites are Symphonia, Abyss and Xillia. Just started playing Arise a few days ago and have been enjoying it
I am typically pretty hard on JRPGs and RPGs in general. That being said, I love this game. I saw some previews a few months ago and was interested, then I got the other two Tales games from a friend of mine in a discord. Just so I could get the feel. This one is even better than those ones. It really is a fun game.
Started with Tales of Xillia, which to this day is still my favorite Tales gave with its Link system and split story.
Let's see if Arise can take the crown. Definitely looks promising.
Finally another Xillia fan. Xillia was also my introduction to the franchise and my personal favorite. I went back to play some of the others but so far the only other one that had me captivated was Vesperia
Xillia was my second Tales game, but it was the first one I felt invested in emotionally. My first one was Abyss and I enjoyed it, but a full console game is hard to beat. Lol
I would love this on a handheld someday.
I hope they bring Xilia to PC someday.
I don't play PS3 so I missed the Xillia.
@@whisperviz1346 I'd be happy if they just made it digitally available for PS4. I miss the Xillia games so much. When I upgraded to the PS4, I was glad Zesteria at least was available on both systems.
I remember when I was like 11 or 12 I played Tales of Symphonia. It was my first Tales game, and it sucked me in! Me my grandma and my aunt all played for like 30 hours straight lol If it's still couch co op I'll have to get it
No multiplayer sadly but they put a lot of development in other areas as a result. I'm still super hyped for this entry even though my wife will have to play on her own tv 😹

My first Tales of series games was Tales of Symphonia, I played it on the Gameboy if not mistaken. It was alright for me, the second game was the Tales of the Abyss. It was then I was hooked, it just had awesome storyline, character progressions, good combat systems and a big world to explore. Till this day I really wish that they would make a sequel for Tales of the Abyss.
Tales of Symphonia had the best story line for me, Tales of Abyss 1 & 2 were fun, but I cannot recall why. I just know Lyod, Kratos, Rune, Genius, Collet, and one or two other poeple were really memorable characters. Tales of Abyss, I couldn't tell you a single character name from it, but I recall the nice graphics. GOnna go try this game out now, thank you for the Before you buy episode!
Game looks incredible. Bandai/Namco’s killing it for Action RPGs. I can see them pushing Elden Ring with a jaw-dropping gameplay trailer right before the preorders become available. Shoutout to Scarlet Nexus as well. Dope new IP.
A bit late but I wanna say scarlet nexus was a blast and no one can tell me otherwise
@@SheikhAli2009can't agree more
Tales of Vesperia was my favorite, largely because it was the first Tales game I got to play with a friend in co-op. Disappointed they took co-op out of the series as it was really the only JRPG series that had that feature. Was looking forward to bonding over a new adventure. I'll probably still play this but it stings.
Yeah, I'll probably play this when it goes on sale. The big appeal of the Tales series for me was playing co-op; playing these games solo is okay, but I personally feel like I may as well go play a more satisfying single player action game like a Souls game. Doesn't mean I don't ever plan on playing it, but it's not a priority for me.
I think Ys series has coop too, or at least VIII did
@@LolaLink Have you tried Nioh?
This will be my first tales series!! I’m glad you posted this because I was in the fence!! Not a big Bandi fan, but looks good
Tales of Xillia is my all time favourite of the series till now, hope this one can deliver a similar feeling
Finally a fresh direction for a series that has needed it since xillia 2
Oh my gosh yes. My fav is Graces f and this looks like it may be the one I been waiting for.
@@DaemionThade loved graces f too. Dunno why people hated it
Graces f was sooo amazing
Your comment made me buy. I loved graces f.
Abyss was great too.
@@DaemionThade i also love graces f. My fave tales game that I've completed 🙂
I'm just ready to level ground for hours and be overpowered for boss fights!
Tales of the Abyss is my favorite one so far out of all the ones I've played
Abyss was fantastic
Ordered this today since it was on sale. I played the demo and it seemed fun. Been missing out on lots and lots and lots of RPG’s. Thanks for the review.
You know its a good anime game when its Jake reviewing it instead of Falcon who usually does the weeb stuff
weeb ? what is that
Weeb what is that ?
Amazing game!
Ayeeeeeeeeee! I figured I would see you here😂
The homie
I loved Abyss, Vesperia, and Berseria lol Ive been excited for this entry for a while too
Can’t get enough of Master Jake!
This is like the Dragon Quest XI S for the Tales series. The best of the series, an ultimate love letter. Very good and definitely worth the money! Can’t wait to get back to it.
WOW, I just ordered this game (at Best Buy) a little bit ago before watching this video… it’s gonna be my first “Tales of” game… I have played the demo tho, and ever since then I knew I needed it… it blew me away, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it and start playing through it and go on an EPIC journey with awesome characters… it’s gonna be so much fun… I’m so EXCITED!!!!!😁👌🏻💯 thx a lot Jake!👏🏻
Gotta say... this review convinced me to buy this game last week and I've been absolutely loving it. This is my first time playing a Tales game ever. This one reminds me of Dragon Quest in a way. The characters are great and the story as well. If you're on the fence about this pick it up! So worth the money.
So after 95+ hours playing this game.... still gotta say so worth the money. It has turned into one of my favorite games I've played recently.
Just buy it. Didn't had the money when it came out. So looking forward to playing it.
I've played every Tales game. Prior to this my favorite was Tales of Vesperia which I played back on Xbox 360 strangely enough. I just finished playing Tales of Arise on the XBOX Series X and it has finally dethroned Vesperia for me. Excellent game. Absolutely worth the purchase.
It's 2022 and it's 50% off..... I'm definitely buying it after watching this video
Defo one of my fave games in my library. The music, scenery, and character stories always satisfy. Been working on beating it all in Unknown for extra fun!
I just wanna know one thing. What happens after the main story? Are we allowed to explore all the city and the world freely? Or are we kicked into a chapter select screen where you have to replay past missions to explore each part of the world? I don’t wanna buy it if it’s like FF7 remake where u don’t have freedom to explore post story
Have been playing this for about 10 hours now. It's great! :D My favorite Tales game is Symphonia (on Gamecube). It has the best characters, by far, and the combat system is pretty much identical with Arise. Only the later games made the combat system more turn based. Also, but gamecube version is running in 60 fps, compared PS3 and PC's stuttery 30fps! :D
Love this game! Played through it twice! Has a lot of fun subquests.
It does? 👀 Girl I haven't done a single side quest but I love the main game.
Is this game hard to play and understand?
@@Sirfluffy51 No, the game is very easy to understand and very playable. You can choose your difficulty level.
I am so addicted to this game! Since release, if I'm not working, sleeping, eating or at the gym on playing it, lol. The visuals are spectacular during the battles. I find myself going HOLY S**T! everytime a new attack prompt comes up 😆
I've played every tales games (except abyss, only made it halfway through it) and this is the first one where I want to learn and master every aspect of the battle system; not just play for the storyline and generally fun game play which is my usual MO.
i was at my cousins house and finished the escape from the first mine area and so far i feel like the story and combat hasnt really hit/clicked for does it get more interesting and does the combat get easier to pick up for someone new to the tales series
Anyone else here coz it's on gamepass now
I still don't know if I want to download this button masher.
@@user-ko6ic4tv5v same, it just looks like another jrpg
Just finished persona 3 that game dragged on at the end not sure ei should jump j to this right now
I’ve never played the Tales series, but have always been aware of it. Love anime and action RPG’s, so this may have convinced me to dive in.
Thanks Jake, still waiting on my pizza. ❤️
I started with Tales of Abyss and I've purchases about 6 other tales games, including Arise. It's a great series and Arise has been very enjoyable so far for me, ten hours in.
Played the demo on PS4 and loved it but I HATED how close the camera was outside of battle. Is there a way to move the camera back away from the character?
I just bought this game I`m so excited to play it! Been playing the Tales series since my childhood with tales of legendia and have been such a huge nerd for the series ever since! If anyone here is a fan of JRPGs please not only give this tales game a try but also try the others because they are all amazing!
Always great to see some love for Legendia!
Thanks for another great review jake like always I already bought the game I just enjoy the reviews I’ve actually been replying some of the tales games like xilla and symphonia in preparation 😂
👌
Update just beat my first tales game tales of xilla this morning 😁
My first Tales game was Graces F. Then I played Xilla 1+2. Loved the hell out of Berseria, but didn't like Zestiria that much. And now I'll be picking this up in a few hours. Can't wait!
Great review man! I appreciate all the effort even though it's a little late. I appreciate all the reviews you do. Last one I looked at was the Dragon Quest XI and I enjoyed that one greatly.
I still have fond memories of playing Tales of Symphonia for the Game Cube. I'm so freaking excited to play this.
Tales of Symphonia was my JAM! While I've played a few other Tales games, I didn't play much of them for whatever reason. So far everyone is recommending a buy for this one, and since its not coming to Game Pass on PC, I think I might buy my first full priced game all year for this one!
I like how there is CG cutscenes sprinkled in throughout the game. It seems like JRPGs have gotten away from that from the PS1/PS2 games. Now, we typically get an openning video, and maybe ending video and that's it.
I have the tales game trilogy for PS4 but never properly got round to playing them. Are they worth playing first before this?
Just finished Dragon Quest so that i can dedicate my time to play this one. Right on time
Which one?
@@MegaIata DQ 11. Only the main playthrough though. Gonna finish the post-game after i'm done with Tales
@@monstersoul I see I see good one the only one I played. I own it twice lol
@@monstersoul did u get the true ending?
@@captainkirk5027 i'm working on it but Tales of Arise came out. So had to shift focus.
Can’t WAIT for Friday to spend my days away on this. Berseria tore at my heat strings so I need the fix 😭
PS please give me Velvet As the post game content crossover boss 🙌🏽
This is one of the most important games to come out this last year. Maybe in the last couple years. Weather people realize that or not because of the style of game it is, is up to them. But it truly is.
This will be my first Tales game. Tried the demo on PS5 and it's amazing. The gameplay is smooth and fun, the art work is stunning. I can def see putting in a ton of hours on this one.
You give the best reviews and I’ve never been disappointed after taking your advice. Thank you for the time you take to help all of us make our decisions easier. Goes to show you quality is always most important because it seems you are the #1 reviewer for games on TH-cam. Congrats boss
