It's probably the most typical. If I think of a Tales game, I think of battles taking place on a 2D plane with combat sort of like a fighting game but with a lot of those elements removed in favor of more RPG shit. I don't like it as much as Berseria, but both are fun.

Under Tales is better

Xilla 1 was better.

why don't people talk about Berseria's combat more?
I was iffy on it at first but by mid to endgame it feels really good.
Is everyone filtered by the dogshit equipment/inventory management shit?

But that's on a Vita

Yes. Zestiria left a bad taste in my mouth thanks to its equipment system, and I had no intention of repeating that autism in Berseria. So I end up getting fucked as I get status ailments and never get those better skills like increasing your SG's minimum amount.

Berseria's equipment system isn't MUCH better but at least you don't have to autistically stack those fucking skills.
In Bers you just gotta look for equipment with decent skills like "BG gain on break souls up" and lock the good items and upgrade them as far as you can.
Still grinding and I hate enhancing/dismantling though. If you don't do it all the time you can wind up spending a half hour doing that crap.

It has a soft auto battle by just mashing one button and letting the game pick which move to do. That made sure a lot of people got through it without really knowing how to play. I turned that shit off quick, but you still have the same problem as a few other Tales games where how much hitstun a move does depends on the player's and enemy's stats, not just the move itself.

Story sucks Adephagos nuts, and Gall's character is a complete nothingburger. I know it's not his fault and he would have gotten more in a hypothetical next game, but it's not fucking happening so Gall is worthless.
Hisui and Lithia are the only redeemable parts of the story.

I forgot it even had that since I filled my art trees up right away the way I wanted them.

>>737862762
i liked eternia best. the ending was bad though.

>>737862762
correct.
Tales went to shit after Xillia 2 and Zestiria. Berseria and Arise are almost unrecognizable in terms of gameplay.
i wish they'd go back to the sidescrolling fighting game-esque design with free run like the older titles, that's the shit that made me fall in love with the series. an RPG that played like a fighting game.

It isn't memorable if you're playing even somewhat correctly. I didn't learn how it works on my first playthrough or really touch it at all. I took note of it because people would talk about how they played the game recently and got mad that it would pick moves by itself.

god i wish japan didnt fucking drop the ball with anime games, now it's just chinese and korean shit nowadays
