I feel obligated to mention some downsides. Costumes, skins, and collectables are the cherry on top and never felts like a chore to collect. The new "skit" system is a bit jarring at first, but once you get used to the new comic book-style skits, they're a good way to break up the more serious story beats with some character building or comic relief. Custscenes feature either high quality 3D animations or traditional anime style directly from Ufotable. The story beats are perfectly paced, with a new revelation every time you think it might get boring. Combat is the same way, featuring flashy finishers, perfect sound design, flowing yet impactful attacks, and cheesy catchphrases. The handcrafted environments, enemies, and unique monsters give consistent eye-candy. Character animations, facial expressions, and voicework are (with little exception) exceptional. So what makes Arise so good, you might ask? It's the presentation. There are twists, most of them expected if you've played a tales of game before. At times it can be a bit heavy handed when it preaches equality and acceptance. They story is centered around the 6 elements and two warring worlds. The party members fill all the traditional party roles with all the common tropes of the genre. The story and characters aren't even particularly remarkable either. On Hard, the game gave a consistent challenge from start to finish, but there are three easier difficulties to choose from if pushing the system to its limit is not your preference. Simplistic at a glance, the game has a lot to offer if you dig into it, such as exploiting enemy weaknesses with Boost Attacks, juggling enemies with specific combos, refreshing AG by calling in support from your friends, and customizing tactics with a "Strategy" menu reminiscent of FFXII's gambits. It's the presentation.Īrise's gameplay is similar to the previous two entries (Berseria and Zestiria), featuring hack-and-slash combat, flashy abilities called artes, and powerful finishers. Tales of Arise makes it clear that the most important part of a JRPG is not the story, or the characters, or even the gameplay. Gorgeous animation by ufotable is inserted at key points in the story, adding more color to our protagonists’ journey. They will overcome hardships and grow together with their unique group of friends. The protagonists who will determine the fate of these two worlds are Alphen and Shionne.
