Fantasy, friendship, and determiniation

Bandai Namco’s Tales of Arise is a new Japanese Role-Playing Game. The Tales of Arise is part of the renowned “Tales of” series – one of the most iconic series of the JRPG genre (alongside Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest).

However, there are certain similarities between the games. The game’s free-flowing “linear motion” fighting system, together with recurrent themes and graphic styles, give the brand a distinct taste in an overcrowded field. Tales of Arise introduces a completely new universe, cloaked in high fantasy.

Is Tales of Arise a sequel?

Tales of Arise looks a lot more detailed than previous chapters thanks to Unreal Engine 4, with stunning landscapes, intriguing monsters, and high-quality character designs that seem like they came directly out of a big-budget anime film. The landscapes and textures are evocative of water-color graphics and are quite appealing, evoking memories of classic games such as Vagrant Story.

Characters have a delicate contour that harkens back to manga art, and they are set against vibrant and vivid backdrops that demand to be explored. The game follows Alphen and Shionne, two major heroes who get together to alter the existing quo. According to Bandai Namco, you’ll travel through a variety of landscapes, including day and night cycles, face dangerous foes, and finally decide the destiny of Dahna and Rena.

You play as a team of four characters, each of whom has a different role-playing class, such as a healer, a monk, a wizard, a fighter, and so on. Each has its own powers and may be handled separately; otherwise, they’ll attack utilizing AI skills that are fairly capable. It’s important to play Tales of Arise effectively if you want to beat some of the game’s more difficult monsters, and there are a variety of reactive elements to put your abilities to the test.

Great addition to the series

Tales of Arise seems to be another fantastic JRPG in a genre that has been underserved on Microsoft’s console platform. If Tales of Arise follows in the footsteps of Yakuza and Dragon Quest as another success story, it will perhaps pave the way for more “Tales of” titles in the future.
