One of the best combat systems in the series fight me. I ADORE this game.

Namco, next do Xillia and Eternal Sonata. Thanks.
 
I liked it more than any Tales after it not named Arise. I like Graces. Not enough to buy it again though unless there's a special edition worth collecting.
 
Never got to play this one as it was (seemingly) stuck on PS3. I'm definitely interested in picking it up on Switch.

Best Tales combat with insane depth by far.

Literally replaying this on PS3 emulator on the Steam Deck at the moment so this announcement was bizarre to see lol. Was expecting Xillia games tbh.

The combat still holds up even after Arise, which I would put number 2 behind this from a combat perspective across the series.

Nice for people who missed it first time around for sure!

Cool to have it on modern system, but not really a huge priority for me as the overall game was just okay. The combat carried one of the much weaker Tales stories, and the cast was an extremely mixed bag (particularly the female characters, Cheria is definitely the worst female Tales character for me, but Pascal is probably my favorite female Tales character, only Sheena from Symphonia, Tear from Abyss, and Velvet from Berseria would compete with her for the #1 spot).
 
Combat system was good, but the story and characters were awful :(.

I would much, much rather have taken Abyss or even Xillia 1&2.
 
Only thing I remember about this game is it had some of the worst low-effort music in the series, and there was some part where you talk about escaping the belly of a giant monster by going through its butthole.
 
I remember hearing people rant about how good it was on this very forum back in the day so I picked it up on sale and ended up hating it.
 
The combat in this one was good (although I definitely prefer the more "traditional" ones like Vesperia), but everything else was... meh at best.
Characters are pretty bad, except Sophie who is bae.
Soundtrack is forgettable.
Overworld is basically non-existent.
Story is the bottom of the barrel for the series.
The grind for titles and artes is atrocious.

I'll probably still get it... because Sophie. :messenger_heart:

The one Tales of game that I didn't like
I remember hating the ending so much that I immediately took out the disc and took it to Gamestop to sell.

Give us Xillia.

sounds like they aren't doing native PS5/Xbox Series versions then? dunno why the PS5 and Series X at least couldn't handle a performance mode at 120fps?

I guess I'm happy for this but Xillia 1&2 would've been a better anniversary present.


So the game that ran at 60fps on Wii is going to run at 30fps 3 gens later, that's some remastering. Also 1440p instead of 2160p on the Series X, oof...
it's 2160p on the X, but 1440p on the S

also I mean look at Tales of Symphonia which was 60fps on GC and STILL hasn't reached that in any of the ports since 🤨
