On the planet Dahna, reverence has always been given to Rena, the planet in the sky, as a land of the righteous and divine. Stories handed down for generations became truth and masked reality for the people of Dahna. For 300 years, Rena has ruled over Dahna, pillaging the planet of its resources and stripping people of their dignity and freedom.
Our tale begins with two people, born on different worlds, each looking to change their fate and create a new future. Featuring a new cast of characters, updated combat, and classic Tales of gameplay mechanics, experience the next chapter in the world-famous Tale of series, Tales of Arise
Where is the fact it’s PS4, XB1, PC coming from? The original leak didn’t say anything about platforms I thought
Grayson Gonzalez
>people not admitting/acknowledging that the character designers are unimaginative, as can be seen earlier in the series' history plenty of times, and instead insist that it actually is Ludger what the fuck is wrong with Talesfags?
Jonathan Brooks
That broken mask is dumb as fuck. Hopefully the accessory system will let you restore and remove it.
Why open the thread with that devian art tier image op?.
Colton Watson
Seeing how that mask is broken, I'm guessing he's some elite soldier from Rena and when he sees how the people on Dahna are really treated, the girl from Dahna convinces him to switch sides.

People made fun of Zestiria and Berseria's titles probably.

Tales of games rarely end with -ia zoomer.

I was waiting for the price on the remaster to fall a little but this image convinced me that I need to play Vesperia immediately.

Whatever party member you control in your party is the one that will have a little speech with the final boss, and yes you can control the dog so you can imagine how that conversation goes.
Logan Miller
>Tales of ARISE >Tales of ZEStiRIA >Tales of BerSERIA
>The heavenly realm is another planet. That would be a real twist, but I sincerely doubt it's another part of that universe. It would be like saying Xillia takes place after Vesperia.
There's not much to discuss outside of trolling about it being a Zestiria sequel
Thomas Davis
Tales of Phantasia Tales of Eternia Tales of Symphonia Tales of Symphonia 2 Tales of Legendia Tales of Vesperia Tales of Xillia Tales of Xillia 2 Tales of Zestiria Tales of Berseria
That's quite a lot especially being all mainline titles.
So are we definitely going to see gameplay footage at E3? I hope they have something to port over (maybe something that hasn't seen a western release?) a game if Arise still has some development time.
mfw still mad at the guy who decided to completely drop his translation mod for Tales of Destiny DC without even giving all his work to someone else so they can pick off where he left from.
I'll just delude myselr into thinking Namco is secretly working on a localization.
Luke Watson
is there ever a reason to play tales games at difficulties above hard? I'm in the berseria EX dungeon and having a pretty shit time in the second to last room
Jackson Brooks
I'm with still hoping something has to come out of that, otherwise it was just a slap in the face.
Normally you want to play the harder difficulties on a 2nd playthrough when you can unlock everything in the grade shop. some games can be a chore on the first playthrough.
>your blood pressure will go through the roof Hasn't Velvet's blood pressure already gone sky high?
Alexander Collins
should have bought one back when nobody cared about vita, obviously its price is gonna rise when it gets hacked. t. bought mine in 2015 for 30€.
James Long
Reread his post more closely, legendianon.
Hunter Myers
wo is from Two.
Jason Jones
Higher difficulties give better drops. In Berseria, there are equipment skills you can't get on lower difficulties. If you don't care about those you might as well lower it.
Adrian Lee
oh, my bad. just got off work so silly things are going to go over my head. my point still stands lol.
There has not been a single good Tales game since Symphonia. Why did they waste so many games for female characters?
Justin Johnson
You just have bad taste.
Carter Thompson
There has not been a single good Tales game since Phantasia.
Thomas Bell
I hope that Arise characters have natural body languages. Berseria characters' poses when being idle look stiff.
Eli Thomas
>Tales of Anise It's about being a jew
Connor Bailey
>a Tales game title must ends with -ia How about Tales of Sharia?
Kayden Thomas
Not much info as of now
Dominic Jenkins
It's mostly the environments being bland as fuck and looking like they're from the PS2 era, which they are. The engine used in Berseria/Zestiria dates back to Symphonia.
Logan Clark
Anyone here willing to guess that Tales of Arise will end with at least one of the player characters doing a clichè heroic sacrifice?
Honestly it's ugly. Pretty much everything from environments to character designs is ugly af
Samuel Mitchell
I hope for - Actual dungeons with themes and riddles, yes, gimme that mana ring or something similar back. - Meaningful sidequests that give optional costumes along with character interactions instead of there just being DLC outfits. - No empty huge open world (Judging from the screenshots it may already be too late for this one) - Good battle system and good difficulty
So far I'm not a fan of the male MC's design. Is he supposed to be from the poor planet? Because he doesn't look poor.
Brandon Morgan
I hope there's no water puzzle dungeon
Alexander Mitchell
>On the planet Dahna, reverence has always been given to Rena, the planet in the sky, as a land of the righteous and divine. I like how I could instantly tell after reading the first sentence that Rena was actually gonna be full of complete dicks
Good old tales games
Elijah Mitchell
PACHINKO TALES GAME WHEN?
Jeremiah Scott
And Dahna would be filled with INFERIOR BEINGS
Blake Bennett
Rena is where the seraphs live and Dahna the humans.
It really is a Berseria prequel lmao.
Adrian Hughes
I'm pretty sure people will call it Tales of Arse anyway desu
Hell the 'I' in the OP image blends in enough that it looks like that's what the thumbnail says
Jack Perez
has there? That's great. Most of my judith pics are a decade old.
My standards are pretty low cause I'm just happy to see that they arent using the xillia engine/assets for the 5th time in a row. It was pretty embarrassing that even bamco's anime shovelware had more effect and better looking graphics than their recent tales games.
Wonder how this wouldve turned out if Baba was still around.
>INFERIOR i'd like to thank symphonia for teaching 12 year old me this word
Angel Rodriguez
No, it isn't. Besides, if it were a prequel to Berseria, it would be a pointless one anyway as some Bersy fans were expecting a proper closure to the saga.
Jaxon Davis
Whatever battle system it gets, i just hope it doesn't completely revolve around a new mechanic gimmick. Linking/Armatize was fine but they nerfed everything else to the point where it was the only way to do any real damage, they even locked mystic artes behind using them.
Also hoping for decent looking unlockable costumes but i kinda doubt bamco will be able to help themselves and go dlc crazy.
Justin Diaz
>classic Tales of gameplay mechanics hope they deliver Team Symphonia's legacy
>Wonder how this wouldve turned out if Baba was still around. It would have released last year with half the content and then around this time they'd announce the remake/sequel the uses that unused content.
It's sucks that they gave berseria such a inconclusive end and to top it off the postgame teases at even more unresolved nonsense that'll never be touched upon.
I think Berseria's main mistake was being connected to zestiria, yet at the same time wanting to distance itself so far from that trainwreck that the few small connections either didnt matter or just created more questions than answers.
Zesteria/Berseria lore cannot be salavged and at this point it's better to never go back to Baba's remnants of bullshit.
Justin Richardson
Not gonna lie, this character at least looked okay.
Elijah Ross
Destiny DC was so good, while 2 was such an abortion.
Grayson Harris
Will this have a huge world to explore and find new cool things in?
>inconclusive end What's inconclusive about it if you played Zestiria?
Luis Morris
You might be joking but youre probably right, dont forget to throw in some of the classic baba controversies in the mix.
I'm curious about what happened to him at SE to get fired and his TotallyNotTales project completely scrapped. You gotta be pretty incompetent for modern SE to not want you around, and they have Nomura.
Austin Cox
Even if it is berseria with somewhat reworked combat I'll be okay, berseria was good already.
Brody Cox
im just happy tabata is no longer at square next step is re-hiring sakaguchi and putting nomura back on art duty
Dylan Cox
>Even if it is berseria Don't worry. It won't be.
Jordan Sanders
As a long-standing Tales fan, this makes me giddy. Do we know what other characters are in besides notLudger and notLailah
Eli Clark
>inconclusive end The epilogue of Zestiria pretty much explains that both Berseria and Zestiria have received a proper conclusion.
notLudger will eat the party twink's ass uncensored while notLailah applauds in the background
Christopher Clark
Maskettaman will be the bottom in all ships screenshot this
Brandon Cook
Suddenly reminded me of Kikokugai ending where MC fought his former best friend turned villain to death while two sex robots with MC's sister brains fucked each other in the background, aroused by his suffering
Owen Williams
>soldier from Rena that doesn't know anything about the world This. I bet he's pure as fuck
Angel Myers
What are these models from?
John Torres
It's been a while since I've completed them so some details might be fuzzy but in berseria's postgame they give some extra lore explaining that the malevolence demon/dragon transformation is actually a curse made by seraphim from another world.
The major events of berseria and zest can be summed up with the sealing of innominat, maotelus taking his place, then maotelus needing to be purified by sorey, then healed up maotelus purifying the world again. The end.
There just a tiny bit of a plothole that the real source of everyone's problems are just dicking around doing who knows what and for all we know theyre probably unstoppable.
Levi Allen
Tales really nets to get official heights to models correct cause this shit is all sorts of fucked
>That guy left of Rokuro >Lloyd next to Lailah >Velvet between Raven and Ludger >Laphicet next to Genis
I am easy to please. Throw in some cute underage girls and I'm good.
Sebastian Phillips
>Not even remotely comparable KLK isn't even fucking relevant here.
Cameron Watson
>The major events of berseria and zest can be summed up with the sealing of innominat, maotelus taking his place, then maotelus needing to be purified by sorey, then healed up maotelus purifying the world again. The end. Yes. Velvet is sealed away with Innominat for eternity for the greater good while living a beautiful dream and Sorey is finally reunited with Mikleo in the end after he purified Maotelus. A fitting conclusion. Now, can we all accept and move on with a new Tales universe which will be introduced in Arise?
Oliver Martin
I don't understand what was so difficult of keeping the games playing like this once zesteria and berseria released. skill system: good, arte system: good, gear system: good, combat: good, battle camera: glorious sideview goodness
Eli Bennett
the plot sounds like xenoblade 1 but with planets instead of titans
John Williams
Sideview is so important to judge distances properly.
Zachary Reed
Go pull that shit against Spiral Draco or any other boss. Right, you can't. Fuck off with these shitty combo videos.
Kevin Turner
>Not Ymir Forest
Bentley Cooper
this third person behind the view camera up my ass just doesn't work for tales for me. sideview gave a good display of the character and the artes being used.
Landon Thompson
Dumb design.
Adam Rodriguez
I noticed recently but all good combat games put you in a sideview. Bayonetta for example has a pretty free flowing camera but as you lock on to enemies it always tries to move into the sideview. youtube.com/watch?v=4KfmEhDOIhc
Alexander Cook
>Now, can we all accept and move on with a new Tales universe which will be introduced in Arise?
Yes, i would much prefer that Arise would be completed new and unconnected to the messy zestiria&berseria lore. I was just pointing out that berseria basically teased what could be interpreted at "sequel bait" or a plot hole/event that will never be touched upon.
