The Tales of franchise used to be my favorite JRPGs back in the day and it always delivered games on a consistent basis. I loved the humorous skits and the realtime battle system. When Final Fantasy failed, you could always fall back on a good Tales game. Sadly, Bamco doesn't seem to know what to do with the franchise anymore. Tales of Arise had beautiful graphics, a pretty good battle system, but was subpar in everything else. Skits were shitty and the story a real lowpoint imo. I was hoping for a more improved sequel with the same type of graphics, but it's been four years now and only radio silence from Bamcos side. Yes we get some remasters and little now and then, but the future for new installments seems pretty bleak. It's seems that it kinda died with Hideo Baba leaving.
