If you appreciated this quick release of the second opening, be sure to subscribe to my channel and watch recent videos like this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/at-TYMeoyLOte6c.html. I plan to have more early coverage of new games like Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles 鬼滅の刃 and Shin Megami Tensei V later this year.

Can we talk about how these madmen literally hit us with the "Now play Season 2 lol"

Man. Seeing Alphen holding his hand out to Shionne, basically telling her shes not alone anymore, and seeing the gang all behind him really gets me sobbing

After finishing the game you can’t help but feel emotional listening to this

When you finished a jrpg then you're left feeling empty, you know it was good

I can't remember the last time I played a game like this, along with an engaging story, wonderfully written characters, and a happy romantic ending, Tales of Arise makes the game of the year for me.

Dude this game is an absolute masterpiece! The way it develops the characters and how it makes you feel so connected to each one of them as you travel along side them. The story is filled with romance and mystery that makes you feel so engaged and excited the whole way through. It really is a fantastic game, and I can't say that enough!

Love watching the view count on this soar every few days as people keep reaching the second half of the game.

When Dohalim said that it was only the beginning and this played I WAS SO SCARED THE GAME WAS OVER!!!! The moment when this opening plays was such a fucking great moment, this game is absolutely incredible and I enjoyed it all the way!!!

Honestly i never knew they had 2 openings in this game, Bandai Namco should be praised for such noble arts and mastery.

When this opening started, I said "Theres no way in hell the game is over!!!!". Then When I had control of Alphen, I yelled "Hell yea there's act 2". Lets keep this ride going. This game is top 5 on my all time favorite tales game

I literally restarted the game once it was done. It was so good and finally a good romance in JRPG that evolves throughout the whole game. Playing it the second time is interesting when you understand the plot but frankly I just want to recapture those moments again. Seriously with plots that are dark, with bad endings and sadness it's a breath of fresh air to have a good wholesome love story.

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie.

A second opening was something I didn't expect while playing TOA... I was sad I was reaching the end but they hit me with different enemies and was happy the journey was extended... ToA will always be my favourite JRPG...and seeing Shionne and Alphen together made me happier

i love this party relationship...like Rinwell said, Kisara is a mother, Dohalim is uncle, Alphen and Shionne is brother and sister, Hootle is little brother and Law is a dog..hahaha so happy with the ending scene

Sometimes I come back here just to see this intro and remember the game ❤

二つの惑星の不和というのが、テセアラとシルヴァラントとか、セレスティアとインフェリアを彷彿とさせてすごかった ストーリー自体はアビスとかリバースが好きな人にはきっとたまらない作品 個人的に序盤～中盤のギスギスと、こちら側の犠牲の多さで胸がやられたけど 歴代作品をやってきた人にとってのファンサが、素晴らしい作品だったと思います

I just finished the game and my jaw is on the floor. This is for me now on the same level as Xenoblade Chronicles as one of my favorite stories ever told, which is a feat I never thought something could ever reach for me

the moment this OP came out, was the moment Tales of Arise was elevated from being a very good game, into being one of the best games out there. Can't wait to finish it

I love that we got a second opening, esp whenever you open the game again. Such a great detail! It feels like a season 2! But what I really love the most is when this song played when Shione’s confessed the truth😭😭😭

They did so well with the characters in this game. They really made you feel like you were traveling with and getting to know a party of real, in-depth people. I'm genuinely sad I finished the game

自分でプレイしてこのOP見た時感動した.. この曲と絢香は本当最高すぎる泣

Didn't want this game to end, just wanted to be a part of that World a little longer.

This is now my favorite game! The character development and story is top-tier. Forever in my heart!

I love the ending showcasing everyone and then Alphen offering his hand to Shionne its perfect for the game

いきなり何か聴いたことある唄だと思ったらマイラバとか懐かしすぎて震えたわ この二部OPは素晴らしいサプライズだった

If there was enough support around it could there ever be a tales of arise anime? We should start a petition!

はじまったんだ… から本当にOPが始まったんだよなぁ

1:44　ここからのシーンがテイルズに求めてたものって感じでマジで好き

"Damn such a ride, vholran fight is a good one. It's definitely one of the best tales. Wait it only beginning? Alright, so they gonna make a sequel huh? Wait what is this? A teaser? New costume for alphen and shionne? OM MY FUCKIN GOD IT'S THE 2ND OPENING, WE'RE IN IT FOR THE LONG RIDE BOOYYSS HERE WE GO!!" -every tales of arise player in their first playthrough. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Man who’s listening to this in 2023 and I wish someone makes a amv of SAO with this song

the moment this opening plays i know the story gonna attack my heart directly and it sure did the way the game presents shionne's development over the course of the story is really spot on and makes the ending final art much more impactful that it makes me teared up

This song is so beautiful, and the full length version just feels even more powerful somehow

Me last night: huh that’s a weird way to end things but alright I guess it was a pretty fun ride- wait a minute- ANOTHER OPENING??

Just reached this point yesterday evening. I was so pleased when they did this, reminded me of tales of symphonia with its alternative on the second disc.

最後に映る青い薔薇とピンクの薔薇は花言葉がそれぞれ「夢が叶う」「愛の誓い」だから感動するわ

i didn't expect a second Intro, still gets chills down my spine. So good

When this played I thought it was the ending. Then when both Alphen and Shionne's costume changed I realized "THERES A PART 2?"

You guys know the feeling of putting in disc 2 for old PS1 jrpgs? Because this is what this felt like to me alongside "Oh, they have a season 2?!" feeling.

I just played this game and and not expecting to find this my fav song in the game

This game actually made me think I beat the final boss at level 30. God this game is something special.

I longed for slow(/sad) song for Tales of series like forever!! This is like a dream come true. I really loved how beautiful this OP is

This playing in the middle of the playthrough made it feel like a TV series

this game was a fucking masterpiece, deadass made me cry def wish I could experience it all over again

After just reaching the 2nd opening I immediately looked it up to listen to again and I'm so glad the comments have no spoilers I'm so excited for the second half of this game its a masterpiece so far!

Biggest tragedy is there not being a full version of this version

This game was really something else, I've promised myself to play this game annually for the rest of my life. The story is great, characters are amazing, gameplay is extraordinary and my God is the music phenomenal

JUJUさんのカバーとはまた違った雰囲気が凄くいい 絢香さんのはなんだか涙がこみあげてくる

I like near the end of this video where they are basically doing a hair shampoo commercial for some reason.

I’m here to say Bandai has done it, Scarlet Nexus and Tales of Arise, Two anime like games, two absolute bangers, with a great story, wonderful characters…but ARISE might be the victor in between these two…I love this game for everything it put me through!!!

This reminded me of switching to disc 2 like back in the old days

honestly i didn't feel like i was that obsessed with the game until i realized i finished it in about a week- also, i got my copy signed by Ray Chase, Erica Lindbeck, and Bryce Papenbrook, will literally cherish it forever lol

This was awesome. It was almost like being told "okay here's where the story really begins" even though I had played through a sizable chunk already. Either way a fantastic touch. I won't lie though I liked the first song of the 1st opening alot more

I was getting disappointed that I just got one extra mystic arte for Alphen. Then the boss came over, I defeated him twice. I thought there wasn't gonna be more titles, artes, mystic artes, then the second opening BEGAN AND I REALIZED I WAS PLAYING A PROLOGUE ALL ALONG. So many histories and artes to come. So awesome.

They need to do this more often love anime openings like this in games gets me hyped

あの懐かしい名曲が癒やされます。

I figured there’d be an act 2 once you finish the initial goal, as usual in Tales of, but I didn’t expect a 2nd opening. It was a pleasant surprise and I love this one so much. It’s tied with Graces’ OP for #3 in my favorite Tales of OPs

I thought it was appropriate to keep the upbeat opening in the beginning and a more toned-down opening in the later portion of the game, at least for this game. So good!

Seeing this second opening for the first time threw me back to childhood memories, changing discs in PS1 JRPGs. I am in my thirties now, and Arise is my first Tales Of. As much as I wish I had discovered the series long ago, I am still grateful for only recently finding out about this game quite randomly through a Steam sale. I felt like a kid again playing this. Anyone that has ever experienced this feeling knows what I am talking about. Truly magical.

I just got to this opening the other day and let me tell you I was absolutely blown back

このOPが流れた時鳥肌が止まらなかったです。まさかOPが２つあるなんて。 最後４人が微笑んで、アルフェンが手を差し伸べていて、シオンだけ顔が映らないから、物語の結末に凄く不安を抱いてました・・・。 間違いなく神ゲーでした！

This opening is way better than the first. I played the game blindly and I was pleasantly surprised.

best opening song i played in ps4.. for me its like simple and clean and melodies of life..

When you just getting to like the 1st opening then they hit you with much better opening that you won't skip everytime you open the game.

突然この曲流れた時は置いてかれた感じだったけど普通に鳥肌たった

Was not expecting this game to have a second opening. In fact, I'm on my first run rn and I can say that it literally had me jump out my chair in excitement. I've fallen in love with Tales of Arise and now will forever be an Tales Of fan.

People that dislike this have no heart I swear.. the feels you get from this.

This is such a beautiful song. Paired with an incredible game. This will be one of those few timeless games where I will definitely reminisce those moments when I played it first time. Love it.

I lost my entire shit when what I thought was just another AMV turned into "now lets really begin". I was floored!! Fucking amazing game top to bottom. God damn I love Arise.

After beating the first half & watching the second opening I was like “Bro, Season Fucking 2?!” Now this is a anime game 😂

Nothing but chills when I first seen this in game.

this is so cool ngl, it feels like im watching ss2 of this anime

Just got to this part today... So excited to finish the game

Ngl I initially thought this was the ED. Turns out it's the 2nd OP. And I'm loving it.

When you beat what you think is the final boss and the game is almost over and the game hits you with a "is it over?... no it's just beginning" line followed by a whole new badass op. Honestly been a while since I have enjoyed a new games story as much as this.

Been gaming hard since 2003 and I can honestly say this is up there with one of the greatest games I’ve ever played

心に残る名曲はやっぱずっと記憶に残るんだな 新規の作品でも影響される

The moment the game reveals its second opening, I was like Holy Shit.

私が20年以上前からプレイしているテイルズシリーズ、今年に入って娘がはまり、シリーズ片っ端からプレイし、新作は娘が先にやっている。私はしばらくおあずけです。このマイラバの曲は私が若かった頃のものでよくカラオケでも歌っていたから感慨深いな。

The first part of the game was indicative of the newer tales games, where the objective (or final boss) can be predicted in the first couple hours of gameplay. In terms of narrative structure, there was nothing to stop Namco from making the game end prior to this "second opening," as the final goal to liberate all Dahnans would have been completed with the elimination of the lords (drawing parallels to Berseria and Zestiria where defeating Artorius and the lord of calamity were the linear objectives of their respective games). However, the plot after this opening is more reminiscent of older tales games not only in a narrative sense (the mechanisms of their world unfolds with more complexity), but also in the musical choice (the 'slow' nature of this opening is closer to that of Tales of Eternia, Rebirth, Destiny, etc.), significantly contrasting the linearity of the newer tales games previously mentioned. With the costume changes from part 1 to 2, the tales games with the most similar structure would be that of Tales of Xillia 1 and 2, where there's enough content for each part to warrant their own game. I find this part1/part2 structure to be refreshing and prevents the "open-endedness" after defeating the final boss from occurring. One could argue that the decision to make Tales of Arise one game as a "cop-out" of sorts, and could be interpreted as a "rushed game." One point regarding the "cop-out" point of view is that some may feel may be in regards to same party members in parts 1 and 2 as a way to reutilizing assets. In a sense, if this game was made into two separate games, the party cast should be reconsidered in the second part. There's little reason for Law and Rinwell to remain in the party as their story arks essentially ended after they avenged their respective family as explained in the part 1 story. There's even less reason for Dohalim and Kisara to stay with the party in part 2 as they'd likely remain in Menacia to help build relations between Dahnans and Renans. Thus, it'd be interesting to consider who the party members in the second part would/wouldn't be if this was two games instead of one. Conclusively, I think making this game into one game with two cohesive parts was the better move, and I wholeheartedly believe that this game will be viewed as a masterpiece to years to come. What do you all think?

What can I say, its just too beautiful 🥺

This song is so beautiful. I’ve been listening to it a lot

まだ途中なんだけどこの映像見ると泣きそうになるわ ラストのみんなの笑顔のとこ好き

I beat the Last lord yesterday, and after with great surprise see the second op, great song.

I have been bamboozled with that "final boss" difficulty and thought the game would end... My lord how I was so wrong soon after the 2nd OP pops up

Having a 2nd opening was like a "yo this is getting serious huh"

アライズはキャラも主題歌も神

This is actually an old song only covered by Ayaka. The title is "Hello Again～昔からある場所～, originally by My Little Lover.

this opening rlly shows that alphen , shionne, law, rinwell , dohalim anf kisara are conected each other. i rlly love the story and the char development are beautifull, especially shionne and rinwell. alphen law and dohalim will always be there to ease the mood around which make me happy just by looking on them, and kisara will always be there to take care everyone like a mom.. truly a wonderfull family

55+ hours in Party is at level 45-46 Unlocked all titles Couldn't find all owls, but that's okay. Might've just missed some. Same with fishing. Just beat the "final boss" "Aight t'was pretty good. Loved the combat which made grinding satisfying. Story was lacking though. But I'm satisfied. Are they gonna make a sequel though?" That scene happens This plays "Oh I guess this is the ending scene" "Wait what? New outfits?? More bosses???" "LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO" For real, got this game since I was thinking of jumping back into the tales franchise having played only the first 4 games more than a decade ago. Came in with zero expectations and I was pleasantly surprised! Now I'm hesitant to try out the previous titles since a lot of people say Arise has the best combat mechanics in the franchise.

When I first saw this I'm like, "Yo, I'm finally at Season 2 huh."

Something was fishy when they announced this song as "an interlude song in the middle of the game" rather than a credits song. I knew something was up, I KNEW IT.

This song is so emotional I am always almost brought to tears by this... I love it. Tales of ARISEE AAAA

Just finished the game yesterday. I liked how simplistic the story was, it didn't waste your time. Shionne and Alphen, one of the cutest couples in jrpg imo

This opening reminds me of the older Tales openings. I'm reminded of Eternia and Rebirth. It has a really different vibe compared to the high energy of the first opening, but I think it might actually be better for how beautiful the part at 1:08 is.

I'm a hardcore Tales fan, having played every single Tales games (including all the Japanese only ones, and even Tempest), having spent over 200 hours+ on each of the main titles. And Arise is the best Tales game in the series IMO. I found the cast and story the best in the series, topping even Vesperia and Abyss. I've played hundreds of JRPGs since the 90s and Arise is on my top five of all time.

The game really dropped a second season on us

this song is so beautiful, hope they will release a full version

I can’t be the only who started getting emotional when this OP started playing after finally beating the first half.

This is why I love these games they get you involved with each character to which if something happens it pulls on your heart strings, it was like that when I played the other Tales games and Lunar as well.
