On the planet Dahna, reverence has always been given to Rena--the planet in the sky--as a land of the righteous and divine. Stories handed down for generations became truth and masked reality for the people of Dahna. For 300 years, Rena has ruled over Dahna, pillaging the planet of its resources and stripping people of their dignity and freedom. Our tale begins with two people, born on different worlds, each looking to change their fate and create a new future. Featuring a diverse cast of characters, intuitive and rewarding combat system, and a captivating story set in a lush world worth fighting for, Tales of Arise delivers a first-class JRPG experience.

Story

For almost 25 years of the franchise, the Tales series has been one of the most conservative in the genre. You always know what to expect from the game: a plot that does not immediately grab you, a team of characters from different factions, most often opposing, and an interesting combat system that often evolves from game to game. In terms of plot, the game has gone further than its predecessors, and this is an absolute plus. The clash of two different worlds: the super-developed civilization of Rena, and the technically underdeveloped Dahna, but ecologically clean and filled with magical energy. The invaders won the war and made slaves out of the losers, who have been serving their masters for 300 years. The plot raises such important questions about the correctness of waging war, about the sacrifices that can be made. About the fact that sometimes the actions of revolutionaries are no better for the people, and even worse than the behavior of tyrants. The interaction of characters in mini-scenes has also changed a little. While other games in the series had a large number of humorous scenes, now their total number has decreased. In my opinion, this is a big omission, since such scenes contrasted very strongly with the usually serious plots and helped to distract for a while. The combat system has been simplified a bit compared to the previous game Tales of Berseria. Now instead of 16 combat moves that can be assigned to buttons, there are 12, and regular attacks have been added, which has a noticeable effect on variety. Each character has become more unique, and performs its task in combat: someone breaks shields, someone ties up fast opponents, and someone makes counterattacks. The transition to Unreal Engine 4 has been a good thing for the game, and the game looks stunning visually. The game is a great entry point into the Tales series, as well as for long-time fans.

I loved playing through Tales of Arise. My biggest complaint is that the story in the beginning was pretty slow but once you get through about 70% of the game, it kind of feels like the last 30% of the game is actually 60% of the game. Overall still really enjoyed it.

TALES OF ARISE 78 "Tales of cliches" GRAFICA:8 1/2 SONORO:7 GIOCABILITA':8 1/2 LONGEVITA':8 TRAMA:6 1/2 ATMOSFERA:6 1/2 +Bello artisticamente +CS molto ispirato +La storia regge per varie ore... -...ma diventa lentissima e prevedibile nella seconda metà -Narrativa strabordante di clichè -Secondarie non pervenute Dopo 50 ore sono arrivato ai titoli di coda di Tales of Arise, Jrpg action con vari pregi ma anche diversi difetti. Arise ha un combat system molto interessante , con varie meccaniche rifinite che lo rendono veloce, spettacolare e variegato, data la presenza di 6 personaggi giocabili, tutti con uno stile unico da saper padroneggiare. Essendo un Jrpg , l’enfasi sulla storia è importante ma quest’ultima non riesce in alcun modo ad uscire dai canoni della classicità del genere: in vari momenti mi sono trovato a velocizzare i dialoghi e ad anticipare i colpi di scena , tanti sono i prodotti di questa tipologia che ho giocato nella mia carriera di videogiocatore. I personaggi fanno il cosiddetto “compitino” e la morale è sempre la solita sull’amicizia e sui legami: mi sono addormentato in parecchie scene. Sul fronte grafico siamo di fronte però ad una vera rivoluzione per la serie: Arise è almeno 5 passi avanti rispetto ai vari Xillia, Zestiria e Berseria ed offre ,oltre che ad un’ottima realizzazione tecnica, anche una serie di ambientazioni davvero ispirate. Meno bene la OST: un po’ insapore , come la narrativa. Il buonissimo combat system viene però un po’ tradito dalla struttura estremamente classica e vecchia della campagna , contornata da poche attività opzionali(la pesca è ok, l’allevamento è ridicolo) e da una serie infinita di noiosissime quest secondarie che ho agilmente evitato dopo averne assaggiata giusto qualcuna nella prima metà del gioco. Fin verso la quarantina d’ore la storia, seppur con tutti i suoi luoghi comuni del genere, riesce a mantenere discreto l’interesse ma nella ultima decina d’ore scivola in una ripetitività davvero molesta: non succede sostanzialmente nulla fino al finale , solo alcune rivelazioni che chiunque abbia giocato tipo una ventina di Jrpg nella propria vita indovinerebbe ad occhi chiusi. Tales of Arise è un importante passo avanti tecnico per la serie Tales of: grazie ad una bellissima grafica e un divertente CS può essere considerato un titolo molto interessante per chi di Jrpg non ne ha giocati tanti ma ha “voglia” di esplorare il genere ; viceversa chi conosce a menadito gli stilemi di questo sottogenere dovrebbe sapere che va incontro a qualcosa che sa davvero di già visto , ma comunque apprezzabile sul lato gameplay ed estetico.

Not as good as some of the other tales games tbh, something about this one feels rushed, stuck with it but was left wanting more from this lacklustre title (Trophies Earned 48/48)

I loved this Tales game overall, but there were many gameplay aspects I was not thrilled about, mostly the lack of money from battles. It was an easy game to platinum as well. Currently planning to make my way through the DLC.

Yet another Bandai Namco action RPG completed, but this time - a game from long-established franshise. And as Tales being my first entry in it, I'm pretty satisfied with the results. Although, yet again, not as much as I wanted. But still. Visuals with world design are pretty solid, characters with their development arcs are fun to follow and story has it's hook for sure. Combine this with bland and boring combat, leading to, probably ABSOLUTE FUCKING WORST boss-fight sequence in gaming history and you got Tales of Arise.

Le jeux est aussi bien que ma précédente expérience sur les tales of à savoir Berseria j'ai bien aimer l'histoire le gameplay également seul ombre au tableau je trouve c'est le manque de blessure et de sang pour qu'on y crois lors des moments dramatique je trouve que ça casse l'immersion en plus d'avoir pas mal de moment ou les visage ont des expression trop simple enfin bon c'est les tales of ça me suprend plus à force mais en tout cas très bonne expérience x)
