Looks promising. Looking forward for the release.

Yesss, another Tales game. HYPEEEE!!!

wow the battle look so fun

high budget Tales Of is promising

https://www.gematsu.com/2020/12/tales-of-ar...he-final-stages

i think this game gonna release late 2021 or early 2022

With all the remakes, will they consider phantasia?

release 9.9.2021

release date trailer


gameplay

finally a release date cant wait to play it!!!

Finally .

The last few Tales games [Yes I am looking at you Zestiria ] were nothing but crap although Velvet is still a great character .

Xillia 2 wasn't good either but at least it was trying new things .
Berseria is also pretty bad as it makes you backtrack dungeons and recycling Enemies in the first few hours , Velvet was the only reason to play the game .


I was hoping they will move onto a new engine and get a bigger budget for the next game .
Glad to see I got my prayers answered .


Rendering the game in unreal engine seems to be bumping up the visual quality by a lot .
The world is filled with far more complexity than last time .

The next best thing - we finally got our exclusive MAGE/Wizard char back instead of mixed bags from previous games where everyone can cast spells , not a huge fan of that .

A couple of new screenshots from Famitsu showing off the world .


Almost look too dreamy like a pre-production artwork but it is actually in-game rendering .

cant believe we are getting high budget Tales game

Nier Replicant, Scatlet Nexus and Tales of Arise...good year for JRPG fans. something to look forward to.

Wat are a good tales game to play? Vesperia definitive edition?

Vesperia is one of the best.

Wow the graphic really improve a lot this time

If the combat system is about the same like previous game then will be worth to get, hopefully not selling more than RM 240

Finally a new tales and a good looking one at that. I do hope they ditch the stupid random weapon merging system from Berseria and Zestiria. Too much RNG and honestly not needed, I swear Japanese devs sure got a hard on on RNG.

Zestiria also had the worst AI ever, you cant even keep your AI partner to stay in merge form (forgot what its called where 2 character combine). Its like the dev dont even play their own game.

Pretty sure that's zesteria only. Berseria was a superb entry

Berseria is so much better than Zestiria and I cant believe its been 4 years since Berseria release

the party is now complete

Kisara best girl

Im glad this time no loli/shota around.

Also Kisara looks like straight taken out of Black Desert Nova class lol.

Like what you see so far??

this game is looking so good day by day

Ayam mcm mau preorder this game.....
aiyaa, can pokai ayam bank .... just few days back already bought scarlet nexus...
Oh well no need to think.... just buy first, regret later.......

this game out September ada time save lagi

Buy only regret later haha.. I pass on scarlet nexus, but will definitely get it for cheap later, like god eater 3/code vein. It went for sale quite fast I think, or just time flies really fast nowadays..
I might wait for a while too for this, not really in a rush to play.

Just pre-ordered today. Hope I am not regret like some of the games I brought.

Ultimate bundle.... this is hardcore .....
good support the company hoping bandainamco will make more future tales game...
Ayam probably go for standard edition only....aka poor guy version

Been playing every eng tales ​since phantasia, can't get myself to finish zesteria. Leveling system too absurd.

Tales of Arise - Developer Message #2 (Battle System & Characters)

This game seems to get a lot of budget compared to earlier Tales games. Or is it looks high quality because it utilizes Unreal Engine?

Demo coming 18 Aug. i am ready.

Nice I am ready too. Cant wait to play this on PS5. Finally a game I can enjoy.

just try the demo.. this is the most gorgeous Tales Of.. game ever

the combat is fun. Graphic is decent.

playing on harder difficult will spawn a new boss after u beat the demo boss. Guess i am wrong ...it is kind of random

This post has been edited by Edward_Ng: Aug 18 2021, 05:23 PM

Tried the demo. It's alright

Reminder to change your party member to include healer/tanker. and strategy to healing and maybe include support Arte for more efficiency when fight tough boss

I play in normal mode. Played with Law, gunner and tanker

Didn't quite like the CP thing where it limits your recovery, basically limiting your endurance in a boss fight, until I saw theres gel to recover CP lol.

Im seeing some potential in accessories crafting, but it also looks like very RNG heavy.

I think the demo is too limited, I manage to pull off mystic arte even though I do not know how. Im sure there's many more mechanics they have yet to unveil. Looking forward to this.

How to change line up? Seems like not in the game menu..

go in the menu and edit formation i think is L1 or R1 if no wrong on ps5

In the game, press the touchpad to enter menu. Then press R1 to change lineup. Main lineup 4, support 2. Can use the 2 support boost moves in battle

Healer is gunner and lancer. Important to manage CP, so you can keep using heal/support Arte

Also, you can refer to the game guide available in the game.

Alphen always around 60% HP coz his artes , self inflict damage

Also don't keep spamming one Arte even if inflict weakness coz theres, penalty imposed

How to change to English??

Change language to english(united states) instead of UK.

Seeing all this video... Tales looks like took a lot of Bayonetta moves frm it. Last tales game i have any memories of was Berseria.

why my downloaded demo is in japan? how to change language in menu?

can download the game now...8hour 56minute to go

same! i bought digital too cant wait to play it later

downloaded the game... will play next week.

Wooo! Downloading the game now! Can't wait!

I've spent some times with the game . My thoughts for food :


+ Probably the most expensive tales game Namco has ever made , excluding Vesperia since that one had funding from Microsoft . I keep mentioning budget because it has affected all of the fundamental of a game development from visual designs , game system , writings and such . This is one of the most polished JRPG title from Bandai Namco , beating Scarlet Nexus .


+ Amazing combat system . They have added a jump button and reduce your equippable artes slot to 3 , and 3 more for aerial artes (6 total) . Overall the timing is more lenient , moves have become much easier to execute but at the same time also adding more depth with the addition of Perfect guard / Evasion + Counter attack . If you are craving for the good old Tales controls , the Manual mode is still available.


+ Every companion plays a unique role in the game now . There is no one universal character for everything which made them generic . Their summon companion ability (called boost strike) also give you an edge versus specific type of enemy.
Incredible how much that adds to the dynamic nature of tales combat system .


+ The " victory posing " screen after combat is removed . Sounded strange at first because people want to look at their favorite character posing and talking funny . Eventually it makes sense given how often you are engage in combat in a tales game . The process is smooth and fluid , sleak and clean .


+ Motoi Sakuraba is back , this guy is essential for Tales and Star Ocean games.


+ Game is NOT open world . It is very similar to the one they have implemented in Dragon Age : Inquisition , larger but separated maps with linear pathing . Nothing too special but of the environment looks good under the water-color aesthestic .


+ Spectacular presentation . Some of most explosive cutscene are now rendering within the game engine , looking fantastic. It goes without saying since the game is running on a new engine , all artes and spell animation are made from scratch .
Instead of recycling them like the last 4 last games .

+ They went the Scarlet Nexus route for the Skitz overhaul . The chatty scenes are now replaced with animated mange style of snap shots . Given there are hundreds to thousands of fully voiced skitz , it is beautiful , clever and effective .

+ Character titles finally do something . In the past games they do little more than providing stats , you may now unlock a variety of new artes and passives from each of the newly obtained titles .

+ Charming and memorable characters . Not necessarily the best written but they are quirky enough and you will probably remember them years from now . Pulling out a burning sword from your waifu's 17th dimension breast ? That is something .


- While the game is not predatory by nature , plenty of costumes are still locked behind microtransaction . You can even buy LEVEL-UPs and in game currency with $ . Not new to Tales as the past games have done it but you would expect them to change in 2021 since they are charging full price for the game and planning to " revitalize " the series .

- Preorder costumes are disappointing to say the least , just a palette swap from vanilla armor you obtained in game .

- Didn't exactly care for the side quests , the quest tracking system is welcomed but it is mostly what the other games have been doing since the last decade . Nothing groundbreaking , just grinds .


+- Lack HDR but the watercolor appeals of the game totally carried on its own , just a nitpick at this point .

+- Lengthy game but this can be a + or - for some people .

+- The slavery rebellion narrative has been done a lot of times , it can be a hit or miss depending on the player .

the only question i have is how do I set my AI targeting the same enemy as I did? everytime when the battle start the AI will aim another enemy and how to I cancel auto target?

Can u buy the outfit seperately or need to buy deluxe or
ultimate edition? plan to buy on series x

This post has been edited by blaqkthespian: Sep 9 2021, 04:35 PM

You can buy them separately .

Thanks. Now i know which edition i should buy

Enjoyed the demo when I played it on the PS4 last week. Can't decide whether I should pre-order or wait for a price drop since I'm also interested in getting some of the DLC costumes.

The developer said that some of the costumes will be available and sold separately in the future apparently.

Edit: All costumes are already available for purchase in the JP Store. The ones with three costumes each (seven packs in total) cost 550 yen. The Premium Costume Pack cost 1650 yen.

550 x 7 = 3850 + 1650 = 5500 yen

I like both the Premium and Warring States Costume Packs.

This post has been edited by DJ-Spike: Sep 9 2021, 10:34 PM

Warring States Pack.

wow better than scarlet nexus?

i like scarlet nexus combat play style and graphics thats why i bought haha

thought of buying standard or pre order bonus for ps4

hmm

if the pre order costume is not that great then might as well i buy standard xD

Guyz need help how to change language to English? just bought the game but the language is japan already try change language at "voice selection" but no English optiom available

The game should follow the default language used by your PS5 settings . But the game language maybe bugged if you have downloaded a different region ver of the game demo .

Switch your PS5 language to Japanese , then change it back into English , the game should be switching back to the right language .

Much better IMHO , not that Scarlet Nexus is bad but with limited budget there is only so much they can do .


I am a huge fan of the masterful presentation of skitz via animated manga style .


ToA is currently the best reviewed jRPG this year and also the best reviewed Tales game ever made by Tales Studio according to metacritic .


Depends on how good SMT V is [which I am also a big fan of] , the title of jRPG of the year is going to be a fierce competition between this two.

o wow SMT also classic series hahaha

shit

i ask my usual game shop, sold out for this Tales of arise

damn

So far loving it a lot.
Can't decide on no.1 waifu yet

Shionne every 10 mins in game : Lets go kill the Lords

.

This post has been edited by Zeliard: Sep 12 2021, 11:08 PM

Got better than phantasia?

This game gooding? I watch the walkthrough seems pretty bland hack and slash

ToP is a classic , like the first Star Ocean game . I don't think any games in the series can compare .


Tales of Arise is the right direction towards the TalesOf Series future .

This post has been edited by Convael: Sep 13 2021, 02:09 PM

are we done yet? lets go!

but anyway Shionne best girl

i am at the 5th Lord region now... so far so good loving all the characters so far

I think SMT V out just in time by the time I plat this game

This post has been edited by danger46: Sep 13 2021, 02:08 PM

Never judge a game by watching it .


The actual combat is amazing to play , doesn't mean it is amazing to watch since all the audience see on the screen are tremendous amount of flashy artes . But for the controlling player it is a whole different story .

This post has been edited by Convael: Sep 13 2021, 02:12 PM

I like Kisara , she seems more down to earth and realistic

Shionne has just a little bit too much of the tsundere-stereotype .
Her costumes are really elegant though .

if you a fan for Tales game then this is best Tales game ever tbh combat is so fun and fluid and flashy

fighthing normal enemy put max difficulty "hard" macam easy only but when fight boss difficulty spike increase macam haram jadu...hahahha

This post has been edited by Rubypoyo: Sep 13 2021, 02:28 PM

IKR? especially those boss HP so damn high

In which region you get Kisara?

3rd

after defeating

The game combat has a lot of layers.
Need chain combo with artes to stagger, then use boost strike to counter certain enemy action, then need spec the chars according to your style.

Not just hack and slash. I played the demo and I was drowning coz they gave us all the layers at once end up I just mash button.
But in the game they gradually add the layer so u understand it. And it’s damn good and fun
