I really like how its adults and stuff.

Part of what I liked most about Vesperia was the fact the majority of the cast wasn't middle schoolers.

Yuri was a good protagonist partly because he was sort of an anti-anime-trope. He was willing to get his hands dirty, break the law, etc when he understood that the bigger picture was more important. He didn't dwell on stupid details, etc.

A couple of them have direct sequels I think. Or maybe one is a prequel of another.

Much, much better than Berseria. They brought back normal attacks, so you can chain those together, along with Artes, to keep your combos going. Combat flows smoothly and opens up more and more as you progress and unlock more of the mechanics, like Boost Strikes.

The only thing I don't like is that you don't have control over your Overlimit activation. It activates on it's own after you take enough damage or do enough perfect dodges (or perfect guards, for the 1 character that guards instead of dodging).

Berseria was a Prequel of Zestiria, but it's still fairly standalone as Zestiria takes place roughly 1000 years later.

Get it on PC. You have more control over the graphics settings and FPS than on console. There's a slight glitch with using controllers on Steam, but they're aware of it and working on a fix.

"Attention Controller-style Adventurers!
It has come to our attention that some users are experiencing technical difficulties when using a controller to play Tales of Arise. While we investigate a more permanent solution, we have identified a workaround that can be followed from the steps below:

1. Opt out of Steam Beta if you're on it. (Settings > Account > Change > set to NONE)
2. If you're using multiple Steam Library folders then go to Settings > Downloads > Steam Library Folders> Add Library Folder and point Steam to your games.
3. Go to game's Properties > Controller and set it to Enable Steam Input.
4. Launch game, go to option menu, select Steam Controller Settings and there Browse Configs and then pick Official Configuration for Tales of Arise for your appropriate gamepad.
4a. If you've never played the game, press New Game and you'll get options screen, where you can select Steam Controller Settings.
4b. If you've played the game press Continue. Then press Tab. Select Controls. From there you can open the config.

We do apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued support!"

Love the game but I wanna toss Shionne into orbit. I hate tsunderes. But I love the other characters so much that ai tolerate her. Battle system is the best out of all the Tales Ive played as well, Vesperia, Abyss, Berseria.

For the most part, yeah. Plenty of trees and elevation outside of battle, but that stuff would get in the way during battle.

That sounds kinda lame though. So every battle is just a flat area with a background wall encircling it?

With the speed of the combat, having to worry about trees or debris being in the way would be more of a nuisance than a feature. This isn't the type of game where it's needed.

If you're playing with keyboard and mouse, then press 'Tab' to open up the pause menu and return to the title screen. From the title screen, you can quit to desktop.

If using an Xbox controller, press the 'view/back' button to open the pause menu


If using a PS4/PS5 controller, then it should be the 'share' button
