Current Events > I hope the next Tales game is really fun

(+) Yeah! (+)

none of the Tales games ever had fun combat :C

I'm thankful they put in a demo, but unfortunately I absolutely loathed it. The battle system, awful. The voice acting, awful. I thought Arise was going to be to Tales what Breath of the Wild was to Zelda; a literal breath of freshness into the franchise that's actually good.

Tbh I dropped the Tales games after the Team Symphonia Tales games. That entire era on ps3 just looked meh. I came back to play one game, Berseria, and it was fricking amazing. Even though I wasn't a fan of the revamped battle system (the demon claw saves it) but holy crap I've never played and loved a JRPG carried entirely by its cast of characters and to a lesser extent the story. It was complete lightning in a bottle, I've never seen such phenomenal voice acting that was perfect in every way, and it's crazy to think it came from Namco.

Berseria is the best one I played by far. The battle system with Velvet was so visceral and even at low health you can I think become immune to damage as long as you keep your chains going and just stn lock enemies too. The cast of characters in general ruled too.

Back when it was new I remember Graces F being praised for some good combat and that was literally it. I can't imagine it being one of the better ones still.

I don't think Velvet can even die with how OP her ability is

Im really disturbed by the sudden nostalgia people have for Graces F. That was such a low-effort game, with zero creativity and the worst of anime tropes. Treated players like they were braindead slobs. Battle system was interesting, but why bother when there are only so manh enemy types, battles all play out the same, and the story is so trash that there is little reason to see more?

yeah but the other games don't have second best girl cheria barnes

also the mystic artes/blast caliburs are the best in that game

Enjoyed every tales games I have played

There are better Tales games. Im pretty sure there are better RpG Maker games too. Im sure there are better Newgrounds games. Please dont encourage lazy games like Graces F.

Yeah I never understand it when people clamor for Graces F. That game was a steaming pile who's only saving grace (heh) was a good combat system. That was not enough to carry the game, cause lord, I hated everything else about it.

"The power of FrIeNdShIp" and the trash music soured me so hard on the game.

I really like Graces F, it's greater than the sum of its parts

Best combat and the funniest skits go a long way for me

I liked Graces F also, I would love a chance to play it again.

Graces F did, too bad everything else was a trashfire.

Beseria and Arise are my two favourites.

The worst will always be Zestiria because of the crafting system.

Zestiria was the worst for far worse reasons than that. They had interesting characters, but randomly they would be removed from the party for various reasons and it was never good reasons. I also found that Zesteria was probably the worst Tales game when it came to backtracking. There were times when you were essentially doing fetch quests in the same area 3-4 times in a row rather than progressing the story.
