Ein Game was mich seit längerer Zeit wieder richtig gefesselt hat. Es fühlt sich so an, als würde man einen Anime schauen und dieses gleichzeitig spielen. Anfangs ist es eher lasch, was sich aber nach den ersten zwei Gebieten sich stark steigert. Da ich die Ultimate Edition besitze, wird mir vieles grinding erspart, da man z.B. 2x XP als Artefakt bekommt und es vieles vereinfacht, was sonst viele Stunden Zeit bräuchte. Der Art-Style des Games ist toll, sowie die Effekte der Angriffe. Ich kann es nur empfehlen.

Dieses Spiel verlässt sich auf das starke Kampfsystem und die Geschichte.
Für dieses Spiel muss man sehr viel Geduld mitbringen weil es droht langweilig zu werden.
Gott sei Dank kann man das meiste Neben-Gelaber ignorieren wenn man zu viel bekommt aber das ist ja nicht der Sinn dahinter.
Es sind sehr wenig kleine Gegner anzutreffen und wenn man neue findet dann die selben nur mit anderen Eigenschaften bei gleich, wenigen Angriffsmustern. Schade besonders weil man sehr viel leveln muss da mann leicht in Bosskämpfe gerät die einem weit übersteigen. [spoiler] Mit Level 14 gegen Ganabelt war nämlich nicht so lustig :( [/spoiler]

PS: [spoiler] Wenn ich noch einmal fischen muss gibts nen Daumen runter [/spoiler]

Ich kann es jeden empfehlen, der JRPGS mag. Ich mochte die Charaktere, die Story und die Grafik sehr. Vor allem die Kampfsteuerung hat mir sehr gefallen und hebt sich deutlich von den Vorgängern ab. Was ich in vielen Spielen nicht mag ist der langweilige Content, der einem nach dem Durchspielen erwartet. Hier aber war ich die ganze Zeit hooked, weil man sehr viel fanservice bekommt, was ältere Ableger betrifft.
Also kauft es euch!
Ich hoffe wir kriegen bald die Xillia Reihe auch auf dem PC, diese Spiele sind sooo gut;_;
Btw Ich möchte hootle als Haustier haben danke.

Nicht mein erstes Tales-Spiel, aber das erste, was ich auch durchgespielt habe.

Positives:
-Schöne Grafik.
-Gut inszenierte Szenen.
-Angenehmes Pacing.
-Tolles Kampfsystem.
-Relativ spannende Story.

Negatives:
-Etwas zum Teil nervige Charaktere.
-Typischer JRPG Protagonist, nichts Besonderes.
-Gegner, die so platziert sind, dass diese die Spielzeit künstlich verlängert (vor allem gegen Ende des Spiels).
-Wiederkehrende Gespräche, die man zig mal gehört hat, aber einen immer wieder eingetrichtert werden.

Alles in Einem:
7,5/10.

Dies ist ist eindeutig meine Nummer 1 aller Tales of Teile. Tales of Symphonia und Tales of Arise sind bei mir ab jetzt Platz 1.

Hier die posetiven Eigenschaften:

✅ Story
✅ Fähigkeiten sowie Animationen
✅ Gameplay
✅ Grafik allerdings recht schlechte Kantenglättung
✅ Musik
✅ Atmosphäre
✅ Design der Items
✅ Minimap
✅ Reichlich Quests wenn auch viele recht dumme dabei sind
✅ Charackter, keinen von ihnen fand ich nervig oder öde
Dies ist ist eindeutig meine Nummer 1 aller Tales of Teile. Tales of Symphonia und Tales of Arise sind bei mir ab jetzt Platz 1. Diese Tales of Teile sind wirklich absolut genial.

✅ Embleme die sogleich auch Skillungen sind

Negatives:

❌ Typisch Bandai mal wieder, selbst die teuerste Version ( Ultimate ) hat nicht den vollen Spielzugang. Man muss dennoch einen haufen an DLCs kaufen obwohl die Ultimate Version bereits 90€ kostet.
❌ Schlechte Kantenglättung was das ganze aussehen lässt als wäre Körnung im Spiel
❌ Fischen, ich habe bereits viele Fischen Mini Spiele gespielt aber Tales of Arise hat definitiv das schlechteste Fischen System überhaupt. Selbst PS1 Fishing mini games waren um ein viel faches besser.
❌ Beinahe gar keine Möglichkeit zu heilen. In früheren Tales Of Teilen konnte man häufig heilen da an vielen Stellen die Heilungsquellen waren aber nicht in TOA. Da gibt es so gut wie gar keine. Kein Plan welcher Idi... auf diese Idee kam.
❌ HP ist hier das Mana. Seit wann bitte ist HP Mana? Wie besoffen waren sie hier?
❌ Völlig überteuerte Items wie z.B. Orangelee da man beinahe kaum Gold bekommt. Gold wird natürlich brav als DLC verkauft.
❌ Der Bug mit den Mystischen Arts wo man 2 Knöpfe gedrückt halten muss. Bei mir lösen sie so gut wie nie aus.
❌ In den anderen Tales off Teilen die ich gespielt hatte, konnte man um die lvl 200+ werden, hier leider nur lächerliche 100.

I'm torn, i spent 20 hours in this game so I feel like its got something, but i keep trying to progress and finding myself turning it off in 15 minutes after almost dying of boredom. I like the story but the combat has me feeling something I've never felt before. I feel like I'm doing something wrong but I'm not after hours of checking. The enemies are just THAT tanky even on the babiest of difficulties. Then I found out you can pay for power and it made sense. Fun game held back by unfun combat and poopy corporate greed. Sadly I don't think i'll be finishing this one. Incase you were wondering it is not even close to as good as bean battles

As someone who grew up playing the OLDER tales games and has played every game in the series i gotta say Tales of Arise has to be one of the WORST tales games ive ever played.

Story:

The games story starts out solid and interesting but the further you go the worse it gets. Each zones lords has barely any story to them, the story contradicts itself in many spots, you'll have multiple skits about a topic your party just talked about and answered right after viewing a scene, and many mindnumbing party interactions.

Gameplay:

Battle system is so terribly boring and stripped down i eventually set the AI to just fight for me. you mash your attack button, and then press a button to do the assigned art. sounds like previous tales games right? but no.. other tales games for example you can hold up + attack to hit aerial enemies but you cant do that in this game. boost attacks are lame attacks that have special properties tied to each character and you will find yourself just spamming them over and over even if you arent using the special property.

Aside from the graphics being very beautiful, the gameworld is very boring and poorly designed. Each zone has short linear pathing through each map that you just zoom through. it is a very serious downgrade from Tales of Berseria where the world actually still felt good. Quests in this game aren't very interesting either, its usually always either a gathering quest that you instant turn in, or a hunt 3 of these mobs on the screen before the town quest.

The characters.... oh god... none of your party members are well written or interesting. Rinwell might be the most well done, but even she is fairly cringe at times. For me this is the first tales game where i couldn't care any less about the entire cast.

Weapons are mostly reskins of the same 4 weapons over and over again. Very very lazy. Also most of these weapons look TERRIBLE themselves. You will most likely be using the weapon transmog to the 1 weapon you do like.

Seriously i have no idea how this game is very positive reviews. Its VERY poorly made. Do yourself a favor and skip this one or buy it on a 80% off sale or something if you feel the need to absolutely try it. You will be full of regret if you buy it at full price or even just buying any of the DLC.

Great first half, serviceable second half - monetization issues

Quick Summary
Tales of Arise had me infatuated in the first half of the game. Loved Alphen and Shionne and the other party members. You can tell the studio had a bigger budget for this title because the world was breathtaking and I thought the UI was slick. I was really digging the story until the second to late stages of the game where it kind of fell apart. The ending was OK, and I'm happy with the conclusion of our party member's individual stories, but the world building and story as a whole fell flat for me. The villain was absolutely underwhelming as well.

There's a few big negatives that I'd like to share below, one of them being monetization that is getting a bit more insidious and affecting the game in significant ways. Overall though, I think the positives outweighed the negatives for me and I'm recommending it - I think it was worth the full price I paid minus the deluxe/ultimate edition. On a sale - definitely worth a buy. Just keep in mind the monetization used here and your comfort level supporting it.

Good things

Beautiful World and art style
Character Designs
Shionne/Alphen - Love 'em even with the back and forth 'get a room tension'. Yeah the thorns suck. I get it.
Voice Acting - I used the Japanese VA and I thought they were great. Heard good things about the English cast.
UI was pretty. Menus easily navigable.
Combat was fun with some caveats on the negative section below.

Bad Things

I'm definitely firmly on board the enemies are bullet sponges train. I'm positive its to do with the DLC purchases of currencies/growth booster/and levels. These all sell for real world moolah like other big games have been doing. I was a bad dude and bought the ultimate version with all the DLC and it STILL felt like I had to burn through way too many enemies to get the levels/CP I needed. Yes you can turn the difficulty down, but it is a band-aid only. Still a slog.
Monetization continued - There are skill sets locked behind DLC. I've come to terms with costumes and cosmetics. I don't like it as I feel more accomplished earning these things in-game. Fine though. Tales of Arise quietly takes this to the next level locking actual skills behind a paywall day one. Not cool. I used a few of these skills on my characters for the entire course of the game. People not willing to shell out more money for a full priced game are locked out. Personally I think that's disgusting and feel guilty for buying into the ultimate edition. Yes I was a part of the problem on this. I must atone for my sins.
The story in the first half of the game was going places. I was looking forward to each new area and custscene. Then around the halfway point I got that feeling that things were starting to fall apart world-building/story-wise. Towards the end it was an absolute slog to get through. All of my excitement and motivation to see Legenis and Rena and the conclusion just sort of died. The areas were boring and the dungeons even more so. Filler skits harass you at every turn.The only thing that saved this was the characters themselves and their individual stories.

Tales of Arise is incredibly fun but really falls short in a few places.

Pros:

- The combat is super fun, if a little repetitive, and has the right amount of flashiness and intricacy that I felt was promised from the trailers. Each character has a wide variety of skills and specialisations, with every one of them feeling vastly different when in the players hands. Good stuff all round.
- The world is absolutely gorgeous. Every single zone is beyond pretty; even the first zone, which is very dull, still manages to have some stunning presentation. Some of the later game areas can feel a little same-y, but overall you never feel like you're in the same place twice. (Ganath Haros is beautiful, hands down the best area in the game.)
- Music is very nice, combat music is an absolute treat and the overworld ambience is quite low-key but still enjoyable. One of the few games where I never bothered to turn down the volume.

Cons

- The monetisation is bad. Super anti-consumer. With outfits that have skill lines locked behind them (three for each character), levels, currency, and game enhancing artefacts - it really feels jarring to have a pay-for-power system in a single player RPG.
- Late game areas and monsters drag. Hard. You feel it a little coming into the late game sections, but the lead up to the final boss in Rena takes about 3-4 hours and most of that time will be sent fighting the same, palette swapped mini-bosses from previous areas. This slog absolutely kills the momentum of the game and brings it down for me, as it also hurts the narrative pacing. Speaking of which....
- The story does NOT stick the landing. As basic as the story is I found it enjoyable, with a lot of nice story beats and healthy if predictable character development. The whole cast is interesting and bounce off each other quite well through the games scenes (about 300 of them, all quite fun to flick through). But. BUT. It fails to conclude in a way that doesn't feel forced. The natural end to the story felt like it took place about 4 hours prior but you get thrust into a massive, convoluted plot-line that makes a lick of sense yet tries to cram more concepts into its 4 hour runtime than the base game did in 20. This, paired with the massive combat slog, is super painful to play through and hurts the story way more than it should be allowed to. It overrides the natural conclusions of not only the main plot but the characters themselves for the sake of...I still can't tell. Not awesome.

Overall I think the game is great, I got 100% on it for a reason, and the presentation is off the charts. While the narrative suffers near the end I feel like the fact its a small chunk of an otherwise fantastic game lets me forgive and forget. If you can buy the game on sale I would, its a good 30-40 hours you can spend immersed in a fun, if generic, JRPG with a beautiful combat system.

I only played the Tales of games that are available on Steam (Symphonia, Zestiria, Berseria and Vesperia in that order) before, but i´m a huge fan of this franchise. This entry disappointed me on several occasions. The story is copied from Symphonia, one world is harvesting the energy from the other world and destroying it in the process and you have to stop it, pretty simple design. Could have been much better. Symphonia did it in a better and more interesting way with stuff happening left and right. the characters were all boring, there are no over the top characters like magilou or really fleshed out backgrounds like zaveids. And Alphen is the most generic and bland main character i´ve played as in a Tales of game. You have a jolly Zorey, an angry and revenge-driven velvet or the eager and ambitious Lloyd. And Alphen? Nothing special about him, could´ve been any other NPC in the game, would not notice any difference. The most frustrating part of this game has been the combat system. I mean i love me some action oriented combat system, that´s why i play the Tales of series or the Ys series. But this entry? Maaaaan, what the hell where they thinking? Each and every fight takes ages to finish, because every fucking enemy is a sponge. Even the most generic enemies take a while to beat. I played this on the normal setting and each fight was just so stressful. I was dealing nooo damage and enemies had lifepoints in the tentousands, bosses even couple hundred thousand. Where is the challenge with just bumping the healthpool that takes an eternity to drop? And each hit is so unresponsive. It feels like you´re hitting them with a wet noodle. No satisfaction in this combat system. And enemy variaty? You have like 10 normal enemies that change color and elemental resistence depending on the region they´re in. Could´ve not been lazier here. And one more thing that annoys me is, that a good number of bosses start popping up as normal enemies during the second half like they´re fucking Rattatas in a Pokemon game, they´re everywhere and take 5-10 minutes to beat. You can´t even dodge most of them you HAVE to fight them. The final dungeon was THE WORST final dungeon because of this, took me 4-5 hours to go through it.

My final verdict, i do not recommend this entry in the Tales of series, which is sad. I loved all of them on steam, with Symphonia being my first and favorit out of them. But i did not enjoy Tales of Arise, it felt more like work.

I finished Tales of Arise after ~80ish hours (Lots of time leaving it open while raising a toddler) and am coming back a month later to leave a review because I cannot get this game out of my head. Like many others I have been filling my time lately with Elden Ring, but I keep getting urges to come back to Tales of Arise.

I've played almost every Tales Game, from Phantasia all the way to Zesteria, and while all of them have their charm, I think this is probably my favorite Tales of all time.

Tales of Arise made it impossible to replay old Tales games without wishing that they were more like Tales of Arise. That being said, this is an extremely well polished JRPG that won't leave you breathless from any genius or innovation and it won't bore you with constant grinding or item hunting. It might actually be the best optimization of gameplay and story I've played in the genre since I likely won't remember most of the game aside from how invested I became in the characters growing and how much fun each battle was to fight.

If you are okay with a LOT of cutscenes, I highly recommend. This game is really good. The story is interesting, the characters are dope. Zero complaints. BUT ... it should be known up front that you will find yourself watching/reading/listening to, at times, hours of story without really being able to regain control of your character and do things. And the later you get into the game, the more aggressive it gets.

35.7% of players have the achievement for finishing the game. This is a fair warning. There is a staggering amount of time you will simply be absorbing story, and if you skip it ... good luck trying to follow what is happening.

This is not a balanced review - there are enough of them describing the good elements of this JRPG, but fewer listing the limitations and irritations that bothered me.

To recap the points I enjoyed: extensive and unpredictable story, with lots of voice acting and graphical spectacle. Challenging fights that require constant adaptations to the used skills and strategies. Beautiful and diverse levels.

Then to the less positive sides:
- startup is unnecessarily slow: after 2 splash screens, 4 advertisement screens with the cooperating companies, then a warning about auto save you need to click away, then it loads and starts a video clip that you have to stop, then another screen with 'press any key', before you finally arrive at the main menu and can choose to start playing.
- port to the PC is 'lazy' in that all controller keys are mapped one-on-one to the keyboard, without supporting many of the standard conventions, like 'i' for inventory, and F5/F9 for quick save/load. (There is no quick save at all, but admittedly there is not much need either.) One of the strangest choices is that there is no obvious way to quit or go back to the main menu - you need to use the tab key (for pause, but ESC works just as well for that) and choose the option there. But I often ended up using Alt-F4 to terminate the program hard (making sure there was no auto-save in progress), because going back to the main menu, you have to wait again until the video clip has loaded and starts playing, and then the other superfluous 'press any key to continue' screen before you finally can select that you want to quit.
- replayability is pretty minimal - it plays out like an interactive movie, with lots of conversations (skits) and cut-scenes, alternated with a bit of walking the predefined path, and a lot of extensive fights. You don't get to make any choices that influence the story development. Yes, there are side-quests, but usually only a few, and you sort of need to do all for the skill points rewards. Yes, you can explore freely, but many maps are a straightforward single path through, and you only get one new map to 'explore' at any given time. Yes, you can choose where to put your skill points, but in the end you get more than enough to choose all skills, so you can only vary the order a bit. Yes, there are armors to be found/bought and weapons to be crafted, but these are strictly regulated when they become available, and each one is suitable for exactly one character. Yes, you have six characters, but they are always all there; you can choose with 4 to do fights with, though. The biggest reason I can think of to play again, is to take control of the different characters during the fights, since they all have their own special attacks and skill sets.
- combat is always played in a featureless circular arena, without any chance to use terrain to your advantage, sneak up and backstab, or position yourself advantageously at the start.
- there are a lot of special moves in combat, which might look spectacular, but when the computer-controlled characters perform them, they interrupt your timing, and you need to re-orient yourself afterward. All that visual spectacle also makes it very hard to see what you are doing, if you are actually hitting an opponent or the damage numbers are from another's attack, if spell effects are friendly (and thereby not damaging) or hostile, etc.
- one very serious downside of every mystic arte and boost strike used, is that it resets the battlefield, cancelling all spells that are being cast/sequenced and those still in effect. In the later games stages this makes the strongest spells almost unusable, especially in you have Law in your party.
- the number of distinct regular monsters is limited, perhaps about 20 types of normal ones. The same models get re-used for stronger variants a number of times, getting a few different color accents and a higher level. Occasionally they get an extra skill. Also rare and boss monsters are re-used, but less so. Per map there are about 4 regular monster types, so you do a lot of similar fights in a row.
- there is so much dialogue that it gets repetitive, and I tend to start clicking through them when the characters for the umptieth time display their few character traits, or rehash all that they don't yet know.
- there are a number of side quests (for defeating unique boss-monsters) that are out-of-level when you get them. With the first one that is made fairly clear, but especially with those in the latter stages of the regular story, you have no way of judging if you are ready for an encounter or not; only the moment you are engaging the level of the opponent(s) is displayed, and then you are stuck in the fight, with the option to flee disabled and no way to reload until the whole party is dead.

Game felt drawn out at times but I really enjoyed the characters and the combat is really flashy and satisfying, the story was well paced and never felt like I had to grind a lot to get to the next objective. Law is thicker than a bowl of syrup and I would not have it any other way.

This is my first Tales experience.... I'm hooked! The story is amazing, with character development like nothing I've ever seen. The gameplay mechanics and fighting system are amazing, and the soundtrack.. well there are no words for that. The whole experience is utterly beautiful. Tales of Arise is truly a work of art!

Its good but the campy dialog at times can be like a sand-belt to the balls at times.

After Zestiria (couldn't even finish the game) and to a lesser extent Berseria (at least I managed to finished it), my expectations for the future of Tales series were at a all time low and for the first time I was planning on skipping Arise but news about a new development team and new changes implemented led me to give them a chance and boy was I glad I took that chance.

This is hands down one of the best Tales game I have ever had the pleasure of playing, it has renewed my faith in the series and has quickly become my personal GOTY for 2021.

Pros:
+ Alphen and Shionne really shine as dual protagonist, their growth will keep you emotionally invested
+ Incredible visuals, runs smooth even on my potato PC
+ Fun gameplay, combat system, skills and crafting
+ Great mix of supporting characters
+ Engaging story that culminates to a satisfying ending
+ Music is good although not great, loved the ending theme alot
+ No Denuvo, never experienced any bugs or glitches so good port

Cons:
- Paid DLCs, I have no issues with levels and cosmetics dlcs but please don't insult us with locked skills that's not cool.

So is this a masterpiece? it certainly comes really close for me, when I look back at all the great Tales games this will definitely be among them.

Definitely highly recommended 9.5/10, would be a solid 10 if not for the DLCs

Tales of Arise is a really amazing jRPG and I highly recommend it. The action combat system feels great and the story is enjoyable. The new look is really great holding to the previous tales games but having a much more modern look. Very enjoyable and not a huge time sink.

While this is mostly a step up for the Tales franchise, I cannot recommend this game due to the locking of skills behind paywall DLC. Want a group heal for your second healer? Going to have to pay for it.

Decent story, Horrible AI, horrible DLC policy where items are capped at 15 unless you pay for the additional pack

Played previous Tales games and they're definitely one of the best JRPG games of all times. Tales of Arise lives up to it's expectations and goes beyond with extremely impressive graphics. The graphics are absolutely the stunning part of the game. Along with a good story and combat, this game reinvigorates the strength of JRPG in all it's glory. The characters are all excellent and there's so much depth to each of them. The skits which make Tales games unique is just as good and enjoyable to watch. Arise brings something new to the table, like fishing, cooking, bonding events and better fast travel, which reminded me a lot about the Trails games. Both of the series definitely now shares strong resemblance.

Although I do want to mention a few points that could've made the game a lot better:
- Behavior of the A.I. is now very limited. You can't customize A.I. behavior for each character
- Although graphics are really good, the default LOD is so low that textures and objects appear to 'pop in' at a short distance. This causes visual degradation and it's very noticeable when moving around. An LOD setting option would've fixed this
- Skill systems are now very simplified, previous games had equipment skills that you needed to grind which was fun actually
- Aggro doesn't work properly
- A lot of chest (probably about 1/3 chest of the game) gives you level 1 accessory reward which are totally useless as you can easily craft higher level accessory

It felt a little shorter than previous games, but it was really fun nonetheless. I highly recommend this game to any JRPG fans! A lot of people were unhappy with the paid DLCs but honestly you can just forget the whole thing exist and still fully enjoy the game.

Minor spoiler: Strategy tips if you’re struggling against any bosses (see this if you're at least in mid-game)

I'll be honest, the boss fights were so hard for me in the early-mid parts of the game that I ran out of items and money and barely won them. Later I accidentally discovered a simple strategy that made boss fights a lot easier. It's not ideal and it's kinda boring, but I was able to beat all the strongest bosses in the game with 20 levels below them. I call it 'Shionne's Air Buster', it uses her arte called 'Tres Ventos'. Just jump and spam the arte from a distance, it fires 3 shots and it's homing too. Get mid-air damage skills, use arte users, keep A.I. at a distance and get all wind damage on your accessory and you should be gold.

I've played a lot of the Tales games and I definitely rank this among one of the top ones.
