xillia was a bad one, so that's not surprising

xillia 2 is better but still not good. zesteria was actually decent. people just tend to shit on it because it changed so, so much, even from xillia.

berseria is fantastic though.

there is a demo for arise, and it's, uh, different. give it a try, i guess?

Helly Opinion /10

Xillia was mostly good, with glaring flaws in its narrative, until what should have been the halfway point if previous Tales games were anything to go by. Then the game was over in like another five or six hours, dragged on to ten if you're a completionist.

Xillia 2 improved the narrative and pacing, but became a little obnoxious with the debt collecting. Completionists were also annoyed by the rng behind the cats. Additionally, if you were good enough to cheese the combo counter, you were probably also good enough to get a high combo legitimately, which is a roundabout way of saying the rehashed combat from the previous game, even with a weapon-changing main character, was getting tired to the point of people wanting a break from it.

Zestiria was disliked because it was actually bad. It regressed the combat to movement in The Abyss, if not before that. The story and most characters was atrocious. The dialogue was one of the worst in a JRPG. That said, people do seem to like the music, so I guess it had that much going for it?

Berseria was good, but to call it fantastic sounds like its flaws are being ignored when there are nearly as many as Vesperia or Xillia. There were certainly more skits than Vesperia; that's for sure.
