I was basing it on Grand Order where Astolfo was afraid to go fight some ghost enemies. I mean Leonidas is afraid of ghosts in it too, but thats just his gimmick in the game. Astolfo has shown up a limited time in the mobile game so far, but none of the times left a positive impression

I'm gonna watch last encore just because it's fate also but my expectations aren't too high. I didn't really like the game. I don't have a reference myself, but it sounds like the show is wildly different than the game. There are quotes from some of the VAs about how shocked they were about the directions their characters went in from the game. --- "I think Cuphead should be higher." - Abby from Brooklyn ...

And why would he not be faithful to his own writing? I mean Fate/Grand Order has an actual story. It isnt Dokkan Battle with Fate characters. It has an actual plot and might as well be a gacha VN

Since we're on the topic of silly crossover mobile games and gacha VNs.
I finished the Tales of Link story (well what was released in the Global version that is) before the server shutdown. Only gonna really comment on the story since the gameplay pretty much flew over my head. The story was surprisingly good. Starts off really generic but it picks up after certain point. Though it does drag on at points. Still I would legitimately say that it's one of the better Tales stories out there. That said, most of the Tales characters felt kinda...unimportant. Like a lot of them just felt like tag-a-longs, and it didn't feel like there were a whole lot of them in the main story, it was the event skits that they really appeared in. Except for Jade, he actually felt plot importance because he's Jade. Though the game's original characters hold up pretty well, so I wasn't really bothered by it. I like how the player character started off as a typical silent protagonist and then gradually became his own individual character throughout the story, more akin to Robin and Corrin from Fire Emblem. The game's story could be thought like some kind of Tales VN because there's A LOT of text in it, to the point where it describes every action being made. If you're ever interested in it, you can watch the entire story on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHgiDJnL8IgLxneBk5F6LfH01cbdCwgT3 You can just look at some of the video lengths and know how long it is, and I think a lot of it is without gameplay though some videos still have it. I think only me and raytan here on Board 8 played the game throughout its life, and raytan was the one who was REALLY into it. I was literally dumping stones on revives just to finish the story and I didn't even awaken any characters to 6* except for Spada, who was only a freebie to show how it works. And now Tales of the Rays Global just announced its server shutdown, which is a big welp. --- http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | https://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens Kashikoi Kawaii BK_Sheikah won guru!

I just don't think Gacha is where the Tales fandom wants to be. Berseria made it clear the franchise still has the ability to be a high quality product after the mess that was Zesteria, but their lack of faith in it gave it a weak push and subpar budget. With Baba finally out of the picture, fans are really hoping for a game with the quality of Berseria and the push and budget of Zesteria.

3D Kanojo - the dream of all losers. Probably wont be good, but if theres a lot of comedy it might have potential.
Aikatsu Friends - Guess I should get used to this series being around for a long time Amanchu! 2 - yeah maybe if I ever watch the first. I still got 3 seasons of Aria to watch though Beyblade 1 billionth - goddamn I didnt know this series was still a big deal. Feels like a 90s thing. Topless Dudes Drinking Milk - clearly AotY Hero Academia S3 - the real AotS with potential to be AotY Butlers - lmao no thanks Caligula - based on a game that was actually localized I think, but I never bought it. Might not be bad from the sound of it. Captain Tsubasa remake - the last soccer anime I watched never came back. This is like THE soccer series though I think so it might be good Comic Girls - sounds like a good SoL and the designs look decent Cutie Honey Universe - never seen any of this, but might check it out. Devils Line - uh that bondage looking guy on the cover is weird. Could be decent, but so many anime vampire stuff has been terrible Dorei-ku the Animation - good thing Abraham Lincoln isnt alive to see this shit smgdh FLCL Progressive - I saw the original ages ago, but I dont think I was really a big fan of it or anything. Might check it out though Full Metal Panic! IV - Ive still never seen any of this series FutureCard Buddyfight S5 - holy shit 5 seasons already? Damn Gegege no Kitaro - some 80s (I think) reboot that will probably fail to sell well Legend of the Galactic Heroes - never seen the original Golden Kamuy - an actual interesting sounding show Gundam Toys - guess this will be a thing for a while too Gurazeni - wasnt there some baseball movie like this? Just give me more Ace of Diamond dammit High School DxD 4 - saving anime Hinamatsuri - probably the only guy here who thinks this will be shit Hisone to Maso-tan - man those designs are hard to look at. Its BONES so it might be interesting though Hoozuki 2 part 2 - I dropped S1 after an episode or two I think Inazuma 11 - another series that will be around for ages Juushinki Pandora - so a crisis causes humanity to almost be wiped out and creates cyborgs. Eh well see Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi - I feel like I saw this plot somewhere before, but starring a guy Kiratto Pri Chan - stopped reading at Emo Moegi Last Period - actually might watch this Layton anime - no thanks WIXOSS - why Lupin III part V - have any of these been subbed?

With Baba finally out of the picture, fans are really hoping for a game with the quality of Berseria and the push and budget of Zesteria. Asteria and Rays are actually doing fine in Japan. Both have been doing significantly better than Link, so they're still up and running over there. I guess Rays was actually too F2P friendly, so it didn't generate much money for an already fairly niche franchise, and with Link shutting down not giving a good outlook on things, Namco might have just decided to pull the plug early on the Global version. This does mean that there's NOTHING going for Tales in the west down the line... --- http://www.backloggery.com/whitelens | https://myanimelist.net/profile/WhiteLens Kashikoi Kawaii BK_Sheikah won guru!

Major 2nd - still never seen any of this grandpa baseball anime Megalo Box - actually kinda excited about this one Nil Admirari no Tenbin - based on a VN nobody here probably read Butt Detective - if only it was about real asses Persona 5 - please have the group dynamic the game severely lacked Piano no Mori - prostitutes son gonna be better. Wonder if rich boy will have an epic despair meltdown Rokuhoudou - this looks way more fujo than the description Saredo - might be the generic action show we need Shiyan Pin Jiating - that title seems Chinese. Anyways might be fun so sure Soma 3 part 2 - one day I will get to this Ken - never seen any of this still so Ill just hand over my man card Steins;Gate 0 - not sure I want more of this good series oddly enough SAO GGO - if this doesnt have Kirito and Asuna maybe it wont be so boring/bad Tada-kun - could be cute To Be Heroing - sequel to some show I dont ever remember seeing on charts Tokyo Ghoul: re - maybe this anime wont suck like manga fans say the original does Pretty Derby - Who did Mac pay to create this?

While Baba leaving was unfortunate he wasn't always directly involved in the all the good Tales games just the new ones.
I actually think one of the issues with Tales series is they churned games too often for a while If they wait like a few years to make a quality game on par or close enough to Berseria that would be nice.
