Like any JRPG worth its salt, the Artes attacks come with lots of noise and flashy animations, but this never appears to have any negative effects on the performance of the game. What is new and neat in Tales of Arise is that this also applies to the non-active party members, which makes them feel included in the fight even though they are on the sidelines. When the other characters can support you with a powerful attack, you can activate these attacks by using the D-pad on your controller. You will control your preferred character in combat while being supported by the three other active party members. Like most Tales games, you can only have a total of four active party members, but that does not mean the two backup characters can simply kick back and relax while their friends are fighting for their lives. We have been introduced to the main characters Alphen and Shionne on earlier occasions, but this demo also gave me a sense of the four other main characters who will accompany the player for the entire journey. This gave me the opportunity to change between the characters and try different playstyles, such as switching between melee and magical characters, and the various playstyles give a good balance to your party.
After testing a demo of the game lasting between 30 and 40 minutes it is evident that the developers have spent their time well, and those who have waited for five years for the next Tales game can rest assured that the wait has not been in vain.įor the demo, I was placed at a certain point which according to Bandai Namco will take place between ten and twenty hours into the complete version of the game, when all six of the game's party members are available to the player. With Tales of Arise, Bandai Namco is clearly addressing this issue, and an improvement of visual quality is its top priority for its first new Tales title in five years. Tales of Berseria did not look bad by any means, but compared to other games of the generation with anime aesthetics, it just did not show the same generational leap that it could and should have done. The newer the games, the clearer the old age of the series' graphics engine.
TALES OF BERSERIA PC AUDIO GLITCH SERIES
The last game released in the series was Tales of Berseria in 2017, which was originally developed for both PlayStation 3 and 4 (the PlayStation 3 version only saw release in Japan in 2016).
The Tales series, however, has had one major weakness over the last years: It has never given us a game developed solely with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One generation in mind. During its 26 years, the series has served us fan favorites such as Tales of Symphonia on GameCube or Tales of Vesperia on Xbox 360, but titles like Tales of Xillia and Tales of Berseria have also given us plenty of quality action JRPG fun over the years. Gorgeous animation by ufotable is inserted at key points in the story, adding more color to our protagonists’ journey.Tales is a JRPG series that has never reached the same number of sales or popularity as Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy but still managed to serve several quality titles ever since it started with Tales of Phantasia in 1995.
