TL;DR: From my own personal enjoyment, I’d give it a 10/10. If I’m being more objective and taking my personal experience out of it, I’d still give it 9.5/10. In my opinion it’s the must play JRPG of 2021, especially for JRPG newcomers. There were many good JRPG’s this year, SMT5, Scarlet Nexus, etc... but this was the one I enjoyed the most. Tales of Arise is worth the $60 price tag, and if you can find it for less than that, grab it. I already wish I could play it again for the first time. Enjoy Note: If you’re someone who likes having outfits and planning on buying DLC, you’re better off buying the digital ultimate edition or the digital deluxe edition of the game. Although you can still buy it all separately for physical copies. If you wait for a sale, you can find the ultimate digital edition for around $45. It includes all DLC, minus a few exceptions (Level skips, SAO, etc..) This was my first Tales game, and it really surprised me. The combat is really fun, smooth/fluid, (Not sure why people are saying it’s turn based, combat is NOT turn based) and it has gorgeous animations; the graphics are good and the story is worthwhile, even if there are some cliche moments and overused plot devices like amnesia. There’s also a lot of character development with all of the party members, and I found the party members to be plenty likable. I also really enjoyed the theme of romance between the party members, which is something I’ve yet to experience before Arise. Each party member has their own love interest, not just the protagonist. But the development between Shionne and Alphen was great, I couldn’t help but root for them. It’s a very polished and fun experience, and I can honestly say that Tales of Arise is my game of the year. I haven’t enjoyed a game as much as I did with Tales of Arise in a very long time, probably since playing the original Persona 5. Some of the themes are actually somewhat similar too, and it reminded me a lot of Persona 5 in the best ways. So much so that I platinumed Tales of Arise, and normally I couldn’t care less about getting a platinum, but this game was just that much fun. I’d also consider Tales of Arise to be newcomer friendly too, even if you’ve never played a JRPG. Expect to drop anywhere from 50-100+ hours depending on whether or not you’re a completionist; whether or not you bought the double XP boosting artifact, and whether or not you actively searched for more XP boosting artifacts during your playthrough. These do however carry over in New Game Plus, so it’s definitely worth the effort. I got the Platinum for Tales of Arise in around 65-70 hours. You could also buy level skips and jump up 30+ levels in no time, which would drastically shorten your play time. There’s many ways to go about it, just do what feels right for you. If you’re short on time, you at least have the option to skip all the grind in favor of enjoying the story. I opted to buy the double XP boost Artifact that was like $3, and it was worth every penny. I opted to skip the level jumps though, it seemed like it would take the fun and the challenge out of it for me. They’re also expensive, and they don’t go on sale like all the other Tales or Arise DLC. My only criticism would be that the pacing in the second half of the game feels a little off, and there’s an info dump at around the halfway point signaling the second half of the game that can feel a bit overwhelming. It can also be quite a grind, more so than most JRPG’s. If you don’t want to spend hours and hours grinding, I’d suggest spending the $2-$3 for the double XP artifact, and actively search for artifacts while playing for further XP boosts. Another criticism I have is that some of what’s considered DLC feels like it should’ve been included in the base game; such as these paid double XP boosters. This game has a lot of dialogue, so if that’s something you don’t want, steer clear of JRPG’s, not just Tales of Arise. The game isn’t perfect, but with how fun it is, and with all the quality of life and ease of use that’s built into the game, this is an overwhelmingly great game. There’s also a ton of after story activities when you finally finish, and I’d say it has a high replay value. It already has a New Game+ available for future replays. If you’re a fan of SAO, the optional paid DLC is actually pretty fun. I’d say it’s definitely worth it when it’s on sale, that is only if you’re a fan. Edit: 11/3/2023: A new sequel DLC has been announced, which takes place one year after the end game events. I’m very excited about it, as I hoped for some kind of follow up or epilogue. I highly recommend this game.

I've been playing Tales games for a long time, since Tales of Symphonia for PS2 but didn't really get into the series until Tales of Xillia on the PS3. However, I wouldn't call myself a fan of the series because when compared to other JRPGs (e.g. Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy), every single installment of the Tales series always feel like it’s lacking something but can’t quite put my finger on what that is. They all felt cheap and sub-standard in quality in comparison to the FF or DQ series. Always felt like there was something holding it back from being in the same league as the FF or DQ series. 'Nuff said about that. But with Tales of Arise, WOW! This game is so much fun. I gave up on FF15 and FF7 Remake after putting in less than 2 hours each and never felt the urge to pick up where I left off again. However, with Tales of Arise, I find myself wanting to keep playing and never wanting to put the controller down. Even as I'm writing this review, I'm tempted to continue playing even though I had just spent 4 hours playing it non-stop. It is now 10PM so I better not pick up that controller again or I’ll stay up all night because this game is just that addictive and fun. What makes this game so amazing, aside from the colorful and vibrant cartoony/anime style graphics, is the battle mechanics and gameplay. I like the fact that the main character, Alphen, is equipped with this special ability called Blazing Sword which lets him execute powerful moves with his sword (moves that are so powerful that they burn his flesh and consume HPs in the process), but they are so worth it because these moves wipe out your enemies pretty quickly. Add to that there's also the Boost Strikes abilities that let multiple members of your party perform combos together to add tremendous damage to the bad guys. And there's also Limit Break which comes on after your character takes enough beatings. The screen dazzles as your party members each carry out their own moves and all of this makes for one beautiful spectacle to behold in every battle. The storyline is your typical run of the mill politics where you gang up with a resistance group to overthrow an evil and corrupt government official. The game takes place within the Twin Worlds, Dahna and Rena. There are tons of locales to visit and thankfully there's also the option to fast travel on the world map to places you've been to before. My biggest gripe about this though is that the game doesn't consistently show you the direction to head towards your next destination. Sometimes there's a dotted trail to a star (your target destination) with numbers slowly descending as you approach closer to your destination. Most other times though, this star trail is missing so you'll have to explore every nook and cranny of each town or specific locale on the world map to find your next destination. Maybe the game designers set it up this way intentionally to force players to do some exploration on their own so that they get to see the hardwork and breathtaking designs in every inch of the world that the designers had put so much time and effort into creating. The game cutscenes feature high quality Japanese anime style movies that are beautiful to look at. They come on sporadically as needed to advance the storyline. Sometimes the cutscenes are set up like a comic strip to show ongoing dialogues between characters. I usually skip through these cinematics because I would rather be fighting enemies - that's just how much I enjoy the in-game battle mechanics. Overall, this was a well spent $60. I'm surprised the PS5 version costs just as much as the PS4 version. If you have the option to get the PS5 version, do get it because it loads the game a lot faster. I also recommend buying the 100,000 Gald DLC for $1.99 from the PlayStation Store. This will help you stock up on those Apple and Peach Gels (HP Potions), Orange Gels (CP/MP Potions) and Life Bottles (for resurrecting fallen party members) to better prepare you for those big boss battles. These items are pretty expensive in the world of Dahna and Rena (500-1200 Gald each) and it takes quite a bit of time running errands and doing side quests and favors for NPCs just to make 1000 Gald.

Ok there's only so many tweaks you can make to an action RPG but the combat system here feels fresh & fun (even after 50 hours of playing the game). When I played through FF VII remake, I felt the same and thought team RPG combat cannot get better than this. And I don't think it has, yet this game reminded me that it doesn't have to...it just has to be different to be as great. The story is weird....and LONG. Some of the conversations are funny and short and others are like meh I don't need to listen in to your small talk. But overall, the arch of the plot keeps me wanting to know more and follow it to the end. Great job!

Playing Tales games since Phantasia, this was a new and different installment that broke away from many previous Tales games, which made this refreshing. And while I had high hopes for it, it fell just a bit short for my liking. That said, in no way is it a terrible game--it was definitely fun, but would I play it again? Unlikely. We'll start off with the good to mediocre. The visuals are stunning and vibrant. I stopped moving in game many times just to admire the scenery. Some of the cities are drop dead gorgeous. They put a lot of care into the world and it shows. As for the music, people seem to be divided on this, but I really enjoyed it. I personally am a fan of string instrumentals and this game had a lot of that. The score felt "epic", like something you would get from a movie trailer, which I suppose fits the mood most of the time. I found the breakaway from traditional JRPG-type music to be nice, but I can also see how people think it's a bit much and how just about every song sounds similar. It's a different take, and I didn't mind it. As for the characters, I'm on the fence on this one. I'll be honest, it was very difficult for me to even get into this game because one of the main characters you get in the beginning is openly hostile and just plain unlikeable in a sense that they're just confrontational and derogatory. Unlike previous Tales games (looking at Velvet from Berseria), we don't know the reason for this behavior and therefore get no sense of understanding as to where this character is coming from. Why are they behaving like this? The reason is revealed later on, and we do see a lot of character growth throughout, it's just a shame that you don't get to fully understand this behavior until late into the game, which for me, personally, made it unenjoyable every time this character opened their mouth--in the beginning anyway. As for the other characters, most of them felt muted compared to previous Tales game, and that may not necessarily be a bad thing. You don't have the high energy bubbly character, you don't have the taciturn silent type, or the mischievous trickster, know-it-all, etc., and that's ok that most of them didn't fall into these tropes. In a way they felt more real, more well rounded, but at the same time it felt like something was lacking that I just can't put my finger on. The story. Except for one big aspect (noted below), it's good. Nothing that's phenomenal imo, but I won't write too much here on that because spoilers. I will say it's different, in a good way, and it does evolve nicely. So why 3.5 stars? I'll start with the romance. Unpopular opinion here, but I didn't care for the romance. The fact that it is so central to the story just didn't do it for me. It's your typical cliche tsundere falls for nice guy who will do anything to protect her and tsundere gradually lets her guard down and shows how much she cares for others. It's been done a million times before, but in this case it just dragged out and didn't add any new elements that stopped it from being...cliche. It's very clear that the two characters care for each other from early on, but throughout most of the game it's just tension. I get it, this is meant for a YA audience, but can't we have some romance that DOESN'T fall into this trope? I probably would've enjoyed the story much more if the romance didn't fit into a trope, or if it wasn't central to the story. Anyways, not a fan. The other reason why I knocked a star off is because of the gameplay. You kind of feel rushed with getting from Point A to Point B, and there's really not many options of stuff to do in between. You're traversing wilderness and dungeons most of the time, which I found to be a slog. By the time you have down time in cities/towns/villages, there honestly isn't much to do and the only option is to progress the story and head to the next dungeon slog. It would've been great if there were fun little side quests or things to do in the cities, but it's your standard NPC dialogue and that's it. Speaking of side quests, they're lackluster in this game. The majority of them are fighting enemies, which...great, I've been fighting enemies getting from one place to another, and now I get a side quest to fight MORE enemies. There are a few fun side quests that don't involve combat, or have minimal combat, but they are few and far between. TLDR: Decent game. Buy it on sale, but I wouldn't pay full price for it.

I love this game so much I honestly hope they will make a sequal. The characters are epic this is just the best game ever! The storyline and sidequests make it so much more enchanting, the characters all have unique wonderful skills and personalities. It even makes the battles more of a fight for not only the initial reasons to defeat the Lords, but also for the defense of your friends to gain loyalty and trust amongst those close to you. As well as the camping and communication. This game ROCKS!! Definitely the BEST game!

I have been hungering for a JRPG for a while now. This was on some freak Amazon sale for $15 so I scooped it up. The game runs in SDR but I have a ULED that really pumped up the brightness and colors. It's a gorgeous game with some slightly-egregious chromatic aberration, but ahh well. No Dualsense features, as most of the split-gen games that have come out in the first 2 years of launch. The questionable direction decision is that at the game's 75% mark, there's an awful 4+ hours of exposition with almost no battles. The rest of the game has a great balance and addictive battle system, just that action-pause while they clumsily explain everything there is to know about the plot. You might even be better off skipping all dialogue and reading a 2-paragraph summary and saving yourself from the worst part of an otherwise great game.

Anime fun times + Great battle system (once you flesh out your party) . Been playing Tales games since SNES and this is GREAT. Just for the gameplay, nothing seems to just make it slow and clunky. In previous entries, you have to balance everyone's MP which is a pain. The CP system gives pretty much everyone a pool of MP so once you're out you're out and it's time to refill. From the story/character development, battle system hell even the fishing and mining are rewarding. If you liked any Tales series or enjoyed the FFVII remake you will probably love this one.
