In fairness, being 35 years old in anime years is like 112.

Man, this is a good channel.

Some sidequests you might enjoy. Fell Arms, Necropolis of Nostalgia, Labyrinth of Memories, the Sword-Dancer, and the Coliseum. The Fell Arms is a sidequest that has a payoff in a subsequent playthrough. The Necropolis, the Labyrinth, and the Sunken Grotto (where you find the Sword-Dancer) are hidden optional dungeons. The Fell Arms are linked to the Necropolis and the Sunken Grotto, two of them you find in the Necropolis and one of them unlocks the path into the first Sunken Grotto. Once you unlock the Labyrinth, it becomes a wonderful place to grind for levels, gald, and GRADE, completing it is necessary to unlock the 100-man melee at the Coliseum. All of these sidequests have beautiful payouts, the Fell Arms are the most powerful weapons in the game on subsequent playthroughs but you can get pan-ultimate weapons from the other sidequests.

tales of eternia was my first tales i really was hook to it this is back in ps1, next is vesperia at first i was sceptical but after playing for 1 hour i know i cant stop at finish it! this is when xbox 360 was still new.

Wonder how it compares to the version I played ( eng pitched ps3 )

I never really noticed the framerate personally, but it also wasn't perfect on the 360 either so maybe i had just been used to it

So glad they got that Klonoa costume, now if only we could get at least a Collection or something

Aww man, I've been playing Tales games since Phantasia, and I've probably played almost all of them. I even bought Vesperia for a system I didn't even own when it first came out. I typically whip out a guide when I first start having full world access. But then I have a problem being hesitant to finish the games, but I eventually convince myself to do it since there's usually post game content. And ya, stuff is totally missable, don't worry about it to much the first go around, just enjoy the characters, story and gameplay. Still need to get through Berseria and Arise, but they're in my backlog.

What JRPGs have taught me: Anyone over age 25 is old, and needs to be reminded of that in every single conversation they're involved in.

Proof these games are really made for a very young audience.

Abyss or Symphonia would be my recommendations.

I love the Tales games, this title was so hyped for me and after finally playing I thought it was ok, not the best Tales game in my opinion, Abyss has the best story so far but i did enjoyed the cast

I could be mistaken, but I am pretty sure the Switch's frame rates are the opposite of what you just said. Pretty sure the Switch version does 60FPS in combat and 30FPS outside of battle, but you said it was the opposite. Not sure I understand that.

If you want to give one of the older games in the series a try, Tales of Destiny for the PSX is a ton of fun. It's from before the transition fo 3d, so it uses SNES era sprites for the overworld. While the spirit of the battle system is the same, its on an illustrated 2D plain.

My favourite/least favourite thing about this game is that the party is realistic. "Oh we made it to Nordopolica. This is where we part ways; I got stuff to do"

Tales of Symphonia is when this series took a huge leap foward. If you can get it.... get the Gamecube version as that's the 1st version. If not. The remakes have some issues...sure more content but some preformance issues during battle and such. Otherwise try to dive into Xillia. Another fun entry!

Tales of the Abyss is the best in the series overall, but Graces f has the best battle system

"Best" in regard to video games is rather subjective. Even using sales figures is tricky because something might sell well that is kinda awful. Resident Evil 6 has the most hate of any main RE entry in the series, yet it had amazing sales in large part due to people buying it who liked RE4 and/or RE5, or who just wanted to buy the latest entry in the franchise. We can certainly declare our "favorite" Tales game, as mine is Berseria thus far, but to declare one as the "best" is a fool's errand when there are so many different variables to take into consideration and that each player's tastes/preferences differ. For example, I love story elements involving redemption arcs, temptation, and having a dark side to the playable characters. As such, Berseria totally ticks all the right boxes for me. On the other hand, if someone hates those elements in a game, then he or she might despise Berseria due to the exact things that made me love it.

Yeah most of the fandom was pissed that they didn't ask Troy to come back- he commented about it on twitter. the new VA honestly doesn't do a horrible job at all but it is jarring for people who look for those moments. thankfully they;re few and far between. if you've played Dangan Ronpa, the new VA played Leon Kuwata in 1 and Shuichi Saihara in v3

Genuinely surprised to see you complimenting the battle system, it's one of the only things (if the only thing) that I felt did not age well. Later games removed TP for other systems where it just regenerates between combos and makes for a lot more fluid combat mechanics so nice. Also Patty was completely removed from the original release so just try imagining the game without her. and Flynn only joined for a single fight.

Whut? What's that crazy 'Klonoa' hat that Karol is sporting? 25 hours in and have yet to see that anywhere 😂

1:34 Oh hell, I thought it was Klonoa

*shows the combat mechanic that reminds me of the "Tactics" mechanic from Dragon Age: Origins* fucking SOLD

If you like this play the others. Xillia 1 and 2 (Best characters in the series), Graces F (has the best combat in the 3D games of the series), Hearts R and Berseria are pretty good The Symphonia HD collection is pretty good although in my opinion Symphonia has not aged well. Also missables go away in the games after Vesperia. STAY AWAY FROM ZESTIRIA! Its pretty bad bu if you are curious just leave it as the last game you play so you can see all its flaws.

The thing about tales of games that kinda bars me from getting into is precisely the reason people love the games: there SO many tools you can use. It's too much for me, go ahead and call me a casual because I am but when theres so many options that I dont know what to do I just give up

I played Vesperia on PS4 I never really noticed the change I Yuri's Voice to be quiet honest because I was way too into the game my Main was Repede because when else have you gotten to play as Dog that stabs people with a knife. I have played a lot of Tales games before and the jumping has always been an issue for me but it doesn't bother me but the problem with playing as Repede is he's one of the Shorter characters which makes it harder to hit flying enemies than it already is. I took the time out and did a lot of Side Quests and by the end of the game I had put in like 80 Hours.

It depends on whether you like to play portable or not

If you want tales of recommendations- ill have to ask if you still have a PS3. If you do, I highly recommend Xillia or Graces f. Graces's story is a bit BLEH generic anime friendship story but has arguably the most fun combat system in the game. Xillia kinda hybridizes TP and Graces f's combat mechanics but has an amazing story that gets bad in the sequel. otherwise play Berseria. It spoils some fo the things in Zestiria, but Zestiria is just not a fun game. It was rushed out super early for the 20th anniversary as a special and it shows- overall felt like a rough draft of the final game that wasn't really fleshed out and about 3/5 through development they just said fuck it and started perfecting berseria which is overall far better.

All I can really advise is utilizing manual cancels because it speeds up combat a LOT and lets you actually play aggressively. You have a very wide window to do it, just immediately after pressing the button for the attack start holding ZR + forward towards the enemy + block. I dunno, look up the combo videos too maybe. Otherwise might just not be for you which can happen

Tales of Graces F has the best and most fun combat system. Berseria is very similar, but I didn't like it as much as Graces. In Berseria you can run out of moves if you mess up and it's hard to get them back in boss fights so it just becomes tedious.

fuck the dlc, it's mostly just post game second playthrough Grade boosts and costumes that you're supposed to unlock through sidequests. except the PS3 jpn exclusive paid dlc costumes which I guess aren't paid for anymore? haven't downloaded the dlc stuff myself yet.

Great review, I'm about 11hrs in I'm enjoying the game. But I have nitpicks about the game like the controls random jumping in battle gets annoying and I dont like the fact that everytime you start the game you have to choose the language you want (Japanese or English) it gets annoying. Also dont like that there is no option for auto diologue I don't like having to press x all the time. But apart from those I'm enjoying the game so far.

Yeah, the way Bandai Namco handled this game was pretty bad. It seems as far as remasters go for the Tales series, the localization for them is very sloppily done. Errors that didn't exist before suddenly show up, and the new content isn't as well done as the original. You can always tell where the new stuff is because of the difference in quality. To me, it really looks like they don't care anymore about the quality of work they put into their games, and it's sad that no one else really cares about it.

I sooooo wished this game had a different combat system. Especially after playing a very "easy" sytem like in Arise, Vesperia's style of combat is so odd in comparison. I'm sure some really might like it it never felt good to me.

i find the costumes really distracting and have never enjoyed using them in games

WHAT? YOU CAN FAST TRAVEL?

I honestly didn't like Vesperia, I thought it was boring

So I was completely lost when you said that 99.9% of the time battle FPS never hits 30, but that you prefer a consistent 30FPS to an occasional 40 to 50. That statement makes no sense whatsoever. If it never hits 30FPS then what on earth are you even talking about? Either you worded that statement wrong or I am very confused about the way you worded that sentence. The Switch version has 60FPS combat and 30FPS overworld right? So what are you even talking about?

Some battles are stupidly hard and ruins the fun, the story doesn't make any sense and is all over the place, the characters are also trash and just weird, (Rita's weird obsession for blastia as of they are a person), throwing new weapons at you every 5 minutes ruins the excitement of getting a new weapon.
