Nice.

Not really. These are reviews from small time reviewers and one of them was extremely generic and rushed out but gave the game a 90 which is bullshit. Watched the first hour of Arise footage and it doesn't seem that great. The game is likely more of a 80 than a 90. 80 is still kind of great, but a more honest score for this game.

You're complaining that a review was rushed and then basing your opinion on watching the first hour? Of a JRPG?

It just looks pretty weak, compared to the first hour of some other Tales games.

ACG at the very least can vouch for a good PC port, other than apparently not having a way to exit the game lmao. I feel that'll be patched in, but he has to alt tab to exit out of it and it's hilarious.

demo was promising indeed. 88 is great holy cow, Symphonia is 86 by comparison and that's generally everyone's favorite tales game

I haven't enjoyed any of the 3 Tales games I attempted, but I may try this way down the road when it's cheap.

Yeah, 88 is a great score. Im surprised since I thought the game would score in the low 80s at the highest. It should be an interesting weekend for people picking this up.

That's pretty good for a Tales game tbh. They're not exactly for everyone and aren't particularly impressive generally.

Nice. The fact that it's reviewing so well is promising. I enjoyed the combat in the demo, so I went ahead and pre-ordered it. Looking forward to Friday

in fairness vesperia is legitimately kinda slow. once you get to heliord/Danghrest is when everything kinda picks up, both storywise and gameplay-wise

YMMV I guess. I love Tales for the most part but when I finally was able to play Vesperia two years ago or whenever, I had to drop it. I did not understand where the praise was coming from outside of the main character being a breath of fresh air in how they portrayed his morality.

Favorite is Abyss, and super hyped for Arise.

Thats understandable but at least the characters are good according to the reviewers and people who have the game early.

Still not gonna fall for this. GameSpot gave it a 7 and they don't sugar coat their scores. There hasn't been a decent Tales game since Vesperia 14 years ago

I mean... You really shouldn't brush off Jrpg's so quickly. One hour barely even covers the tutorials for most games. My ex used to do that. Then she'd see me playing a later part of the game and go "That looks cool. What game is this?"

Not saying you have to love Vesperia or anything, but that in general, you've possibly passed on some games you would have enjoyed.

yeah i can't put my finger on it. i love persona and i can't think of games that have slower starts than those. idk maybe i'll try again sometime.

arise does look cool so i'm still interested. you also dropping vesperia helps me keep interest alive in a different tales game in a weird way lol. like maybe it was just that one.

see above. fan of jrpgs and persona has as slow a start as any game. there was something else about it that didn't grip me. i can be into a game during its tutorial. i grew up during the demo disc days of ps1 after all.

It's understandable. The whole "CATCH UP WITH FLYYN - DAMMIT WE JUST MISSED HIM" etc. portion of the early story is a little rough

It was mainly gameplay-wise for me. I replayed Vesperia when the Definitive Edition came out and the first half of the game was rough in terms of the battle system. It becomes pretty fun late game, though.

For sure. Yeah the combo options start to open up once you can do more than just 3 hit --> base --> arcane. Then you can start altering artes and learning them and chaining them and doing all sorts of crazy shit.

Not really. That happens in Act 1 and Act 2 and even then it's only for a few small segments each if I remember right. It's definitely not a problem like you are exaggerating it to be.
