> Tales or AriseWhat a disappointing game
>>731081905Im not really a weeb but is the original Tales game on SNES worth playing? I think combining 2d fighting with RPG sounds dope
>>731081905It still sold like crazy.
>>731081905>best selling and best rated tales ofKeep seething. Vocal minority being assblasted about this game never stops being funny.
>>731082081It was the Covid era. A lot of games got boosted because people had nothing else to do. Expansion apparently BOMBED.
>>731081905The older I get the more I can't stand japanese writing. Also combat was an unbalanced mess.
>>731082247problem is you're reading a translated script to begin with, and this kind of writing was never meant to be voiced.
>>731081905I wish other Tales games were as good as Arise
>>731082247I stopped playing jrpgs altogether for this reason unironically. I will only play the mainline Final Fantasy ones from now. I think I grew out of those games finally
>>731081990Yes. Just remember that Chester levels up FUCKING FAST after you get him.
>>731082467>I think I grew out of those games finallyyou didn't grow out of jrpgs, they simply stopped being made for you.
>>731081905i liked this more than the older games
>>731081905this was my first tales gamei thought it was dragon's dogma-lite but every enemy turned into a damage sponge i turned on the easiest difficulty but i was still getting my shit kicked in
I liked the romance bit atleastAnd thats basically it
>>731081905Was that the first real series upset since, I don't, free run was added?
>>731083421tales games are hardly carbon copies of each other. it's just that there are so many of them so changes are smaller if you go on game-by-game basis. they're no final fantasy which continually re-invents the wheel.
>>731081905I played this for a bit and still cannot understand how they made such a boring game despite being action. Dropped it after the indian dude joined the party.
>>731081905It's way better than Elden Ring, Balldo's Gate 3 or Expedition 33.
>>731081990Phantasia is great, but the original version is easily skippable since the PS1 and PSP versions exist.
>>731083134>this was my first tales gameTry any of these instead: Eternia (2D), Symphonia, Vesperia, Graces. See which one looks the most interesting.
>>731081905it was... okthe DLC though was a fucking travesty
>>731081905>released in 2021>still no new tales of gamewhat in the fuck is going on?
>>731084335I'd love to say they're doing the anniversary shit, but it's been nothing but lazy ports so far. Weee, Berseria.
I actually dont know when the enemies start to hit in these types of games because of the visual clarity ( or ) my personal perception of it is pretty poorAm I supposed to hit 2 - 3 times, fallback and then go back in or just the tank the hits. I also dropped scarlet nexus because I was getting hit a lot and didnt want to use the health potion equivalents
>>731081905Scarlet Nexus is the actual Tales game, since most of the the team was working on that.Since they insist on changing the combat from LMBS, I've always been baffled that they don't just ape Kingdom Hearts. Easiest market to corner since fucking NO ONE ELSE MAKES SIMPLE ARPGS LIKE IT. Short of that, just keep them budget 2D titles. Everything after Graces f has been ass, so just keep doing what worked.
>>731085346scarlet nexus sucked as well. They didnt have the money for cutscenes
>Tales ofArise
>>731085912??
>>731082219>Expansion apparently BOMBED.It was released years after everyone even forgot about the game's existence to no fanfare at all.It's like being surprised a train that was late 20 hours had no passengers on it anymore.
>>731086397i didnt know it had one. kek
>>731081905I enjoyed it. The DLC sucked though. Any game with a big booty shield mommy is a 10/10 in my book.
I hate all anime shit. Japs need to stop doing this fucking shit already.
>>731082467For me it's the opposite. Before 22 or so I liked most le cool gritty manly-man things and could not stomach JRPGs thinking they are for kids. Now, I almost exclusively play them.
>>731084934Often you can dodge an attack to the safe side of an enemy and keep attacking without interruption or taking damage.But with visual impairment it's probably hard to play effectively.
>>731081905>best selling >well received >kills the series Why did this happen?
>>731081905Shit taste, Arise was a banger no cap on a skibidi stack.It mogs the piss out of every other Tales juggle simulator. It's the supreme shit taste filterer.
>>731088738>well receivedCertainly not by Tales fans which led to killing the series
I CANNOT wait any longer for the remake of HER game. Is there a release date yet?
>>731088896>Tales fans40 year old weebs
>>731088906It's a remaster and it's had a date ever since it was announced. Feb 26
>>731087465Exactly. They should be doing this instead
>>731088906who
Remake Abyss you cowards.
>>731090335Due to great interest, our next confirmed title for the Remastered Project will be Tales of Abyss! We thank you all for your patience.To improve quality of life and to ensure accessibility to as wide an audience as possible, we have updated the battle system to be more in line with our latest title which has captured the hearts of many, Tales of Arise.We hope you look forward to the glorious return to the world of Tales of the Abyss!
>>731090498The elemental shit in abyss was garbage so basically anything is an improvement over that.
>>731081905I liked it. Like most japanese games, it overstays its welcome, and the combat was infuriatingly bad at some points, but I liked just spamming the flaming sword attacks
>>731090564I'm not a huge fan of Abyss, but you've gone too far.
I'm playing Tales of Rebirth right now and aside from the cast, it's actually a solid game.Which fire altars am I supposed to light for the sun bird quest? I've been running around this god forsaken desert for 2 hours lighting random combinations of them and nothing. I assumed it meant to light the centre and 4 on the wings, but you can only light 3 at a time.
>>731081905Dropped it when I noticed the already-dull combat was getting more and more tedious as enemies got more HP.
>>731089676wait is this a kid's show? No wonder the world goes to shit
>>731081905It's the definition of "Its a good game just not a good <series> game."
>>731081905Love how this game had a massive shilling campaign on /v/ (greatest romance story ever told etc.) and shills claimed it sold a lot so it's good (when almost every high profile game sold during COVID) only for now everyone to forget it existed and those who do remember only have bad things to say.
>>731081905I'll take Tales please. Thank you.
>Can't buy items, weapons, or equipment>Instead have to make them causing battles to drag on longer than they should
