I anticipated that game for so long.. Nearly 5 years after Tales of Berseria and it was just so mediocre. The characters seemed to have no love at all... No fun, no joy, just a really shitty situation that made them all one dimensional and dull. No plot or anything until the last two hours of the game. Some of the last skits and side quests were cute and enjoyable but most were just tedious. There weren't any side characters that made it feel like we were active in the world. I feel like even Tales of Zestiria was superior here. The villains didn't exist really. The world felt so empty. The battle system was really bad, mainly because of the boss fights. The regular fights were okay, but once I got to the end dungeon where everything had like 100k HP i just wanted the game to be over. If you went on the board when the game came out half the advice was "just spam reigning slash lol". No point in trying to combo bosses, they aren't staggerable. You have the boost attacks but when you start a combo they can just auto shake out of it so it's really a waiting game. The graphics are nice but the music is forgettable. It's the only Tales game i didn't immediately dive into a NG+. After I cleared Hearts R I played through the whole game again. But this I think I barely started a new file before moving on. I wanted the love the older games have. And I don't even mean back to Phantasia/Symphonia/etc. I even loved Berseria to death. But man this game I tried so hard to love but I just can't. I'm glad other people do though. Inb4blogfaqs Inb4tccantinb4 --- whats cat up to ... Copied to Clipboard!

I liked the game at first but it kinda went downhill as the story progressed. I didn't really like the combat either. I ended up finishing it but it definitely felt like a chore. I've replayed all the other Tales games that I've finished, but I don't see myself playing Arise for a 2nd time. --- Save for your doomed future ... Copied to Clipboard!

I haven't thought about it enough to say it's one of my biggest disappointments ever, but I absolutely despised it by the end of it. Like, it's pretty fucking disappointing, but it's not Kingdom Hearts 3 or anything. --- "That thick shaft that causes women to shudder!" ... Copied to Clipboard!

Xillia started the stupid random super armor on everything trend Tales of seems to have now. Xillia 2 wasn't as bad as Xillia 1 and I think it has the best battle system in the series. Zestiria, Berseria and Arise then doubled down on the shitty super armor. I really hate the battle system in Zestiria and Berseria too, it made me stop playing them. --- Currently Playing: Tales of Arise and Lost Judgment ... Copied to Clipboard!

I enjoyed it a bit. Story could have been great if it was better paced, but it was just super back loaded. Combat was too easy, though. Played on Hard from the start, and by end game, I was melting through any enemy and boss, dealing 40 to 50k chunks of damage every few seconds. --- http://tinyurl.com/b95dwtg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Honestly, most Tales games are okay at best. I like this series enough to own almost all of the English releases plus some imports but it's not that great. Tales of Arise was very lackluster, though. --- His foundation lie in the holy mountain. Selah. ... Copied to Clipboard!
