Tales of Arise Review: An Amazing Experience and Possibly the Best JRPG of 2021
Рет қаралды 111,291
Thanks to Bandai Namco for a review copy of Tales of Arise!
A world of nature drawn with the “Atmospheric Shader”:
We are introducing a new graphics shader, inspired by anime and watercolor painting. Characters with attractive designs travel among backgrounds filled with beautiful and delicate visuals.
Explore a world that feels alive:
Explore the world of Dahna, where a mix of unique, natural environments change in appearance based on the time of day. Climb over the rocky terrain, swim in rivers, gather around the campfire, cook food, head to the next town, defeat the master of an alien planet, and liberate the people!
Stylish action and battles:
Through the new system “Boost Strike”, you can now chain combos of powerful attacks together with your party members. Chain Artes, Boost Attacks, and Boost Strike combos to take down your enemies!
Experience the story of the divided Renan and Dahnan people:
The protagonists who will determine the fate of these two worlds are Alphen and Shionne. They will overcome hardships and grow together with their unique group of friends. Gorgeous animation by ufotable is inserted at key points in the story, adding more color to our protagonists’ journey.

Bandai has been building momentum when it comes to quality of the games they publish starting around or before Code Vein, IMO. They publish ALOT of games and Scarlet Nexus and Tales of Arise will both be in my top 10 games this year.

It’s been so long since a game has been so good that I can’t put it down and want to stay up all night playing. For over a year now I get bored after a few hours with most games and I was worried I was losing my love for gaming but this game is soooo good. It’s my favorite tales game aside from abyss. I’ve spent the past few days playing it nonstop. It’s so nice to have this much passion for a game again.

100% with you. It's funny to read about you worrying whether you were losing your love for gaming. I find myself feeling/ wondering that often. It's a scary thought because I grew up gaming (I'm 44), and love it. I can't imagine losing it. Our boredom, might come from the fact that we've been gaming for so long, or that we expect a certain level of "quality" from them. Which is all good and natural. The spice of life is finding your groove. Thankfully, we're still able to find ours when it comes to games. I haven't started to play this yet, but I'm looking forward to it. On a related note, I tried to play Scarlet Nexus, which also got great reviews, and gave up after less than hour...lol. It just wasn't for me. I'm still glad it got made and that people loved it.

My first Tales game that I ever tried was Berseria. I liked the game for the most part except the combat system. I honestly struggled to understand it because I had never experienced one like it before. I feel the combat system from what you have showed us is a similar but more polished version than the one that was presented in Berseria. I will definitely look into getting this game when it goes on sale -- and who knows, maybe I will give Berseria a second chance as well.

I just beat this game last night. I dabbled in Bersaria or however it's spelled but never really completed a Tales game before. I really enjoyed my time with this. The balance and combat pacing was extremely well done in my opinion. Whether I chose to fight everything in a zone or run past a couple zones worth of enemies, I never felt like I either came out too far ahead that everything was a joke nor did I get too far behind and had to go back and farm. The story pacing on the other hand is probably my biggest gripe. I wont spoil anything don't worry. I'm really just talking about like the characters during the random world skits elude to how much time is supposedly passing, like how in-game it takes like days to get through a cavern for your characters, but playtime only takes about 10 minutes. Ya'know, that kind of stuff. Just felt like there was a gap there that wasn't bridged well enough to make me believe they just spent a week slogging through some mountain or cavern. Other than that I loved the game.

This isn't nearly as tropey as say Scarlet Nexus, obviously the animation style is very reminiscent of anime but I think it can still be enjoyed

great review but the background game sound is far too high, I can't hear your deep voice over it at some points

I have never played the tales games before so to hear that we don't have to play past games is great because I can jump right in to arise

I feel like the graphical and detail jump between Berseria and Arise is bigger than Vesperia to Berseria.

Is there a simpler combat mode, or is it possible to just play as the main character and let the AI manage the other characters? With the action/mutton bashing of the combat I'm curious if you get button fatigue after playing a campaign that lasts dozens of hours.

I think there’s story mode, which is the easiest. Very little combat. Which is how I like to play rpgs 🤣 I’m mostly there for the story and maybe some random combat on my own terms.

Thanks to this game, I was able to put down Genshin Impact for good, since that game was getting extremely boring, yet, I couldn't stop playing it without enjoying it in the slightest. But then I finally got Tales of Arise and it was so good in all of the aspects, that I don't think I'll ever come back to Genshin again since ToA set a different bar on my enjoyment for games. Amazing Story, well written characters, great soundtrack, fun combat system, subquests that aren't annoying or that don't feel like chores, stunning visuals. Even if you're not familiarized with Tales of games, I think this one is the perfect start and I 100% recommend it.

The break mechanic is different from the boost mechanic. The break mechanic allows you to knock enemies in the air and boost strikes r the things you talked about

I'm torn, I recently started getting into jrpg's (have always like RPGs), and I liked the tales of arise demo. However, I haven't had too much time to play, im still playing skarlet nexus and physconuts 2. But I want to play tales as well, just not enough time. Lol

I really like JRPGs and Action RPGs but I'm on the fence about buying this, I dropped Scarlet nexus after the demo Ironically because the characters were "Too anime" more specific too shonen (?) with half of their dialog being pseudoscience jargon and the other half being the stereotype they represent (the edgy rival boy, the genki girl, etc), does this game have a similar problem?
