Is there any Tales Of game worth playing? I was just looking at the Xillia remaster and the combat looks so funny, just anime characters running all over the screen yelling attack names (DEMON FIST! DEMON FIST!), terribly generic environments with tons of recycling, tons of time spent in menus, and you have to put up with all that for 50+ hours apparently. The cutscenes and dialogue were kind of fun. The other games look similar or worse except for Arise which seems quite different (looks better to me desu but I wanted to play a classic Tales first)
Ask in this thread. >>729096740A lot of people really like Vesperia. I've never played a Tales of game before but people love Tales of Vesperia.
>>729106771Xillia is the one that started making the environments overly generic. Arise is the one that finally started to peel back but even it could be better. I'd get graces or just get arise.
>>729106771xillia 2 is the only good game in the series and one of the best 7th gen JRPGs but you have to play that dogshit xillia 1 first
Jude's running animation is hilariously bad and way too fast and his default outfit looks like a dress.
>>729106771Start with Phantasia, Eternia, Symphonia or Abyss. Starting with anything after that or from the other dev team is a mistake.
>>729107436>gracesChecking out vidsIt does look better and more like an epic fantasy. I was going to say it has a "game for babies about fighting teddy bears" vibe but then discovered the time skip
>>729108609Seconded, Phantasia is great. It's rare to find a long running JRPG series where the older entries aren't clunky as fuck.
>>729106771Dawn of the new world is an excellent deconstruction and a must play tales game for those who havent played the mainline series for awhile.
>>729106771Tales of Rebirth and Tales of Destiny DC
