So what does the ultimate edition get people if the game isn't getting expansions? :p

On the plus side, atleast I know I'm not missing anything with standard then :)

Some of the best gaming experiences I’ve had were in expansions. The Witcher 3 set the standard for how that can be done correctly to expand an already complete game experience. Dark Souls 3 had some good ones too.

Still, I’m glad in this case it means they aren’t rushing out a product they intend to complete later on, and especially glad that it’s set in a new original location and plot. I like the tales of games being unique separate experiences.

*unless it turns out to be very popular.

Tales games are always standalone until they're not. A lot of the sequels, like Symphonia or Destiny 2 were releases many years after the originals with a lot of games in the midterm.

Anyway, Arise looks good. They're putting a lot into this one and hopefully bringing the series out of its AA doldrums and back to top tier JRPG status. Tales used to be up there with the best of the genre and I want to see it back.

Good, that's how it should be.
Tell a fun and complete story at launch with just the base game.




nah, they just specified no Story DLC.

Costumes are in.
There's already a beach time pack with the ultimate edition lol

Hopefully all those outfits go up as dlc packs at some point since I could not afford that version of the game.
Given that long Ponytail of what's her name, I am surprised she does not have an outfit that makes her look like the girl from Zestiria that had a similar haircut, but the hair was red and green, Lailah.

I hope this game gets a demo. Would love to try it out even though I won't be getting it at launch.

ToA and Neo TWEWY look great... but I want to first play the older Tales games and the first TWEWY as I don't want the new QOL features in these games to spoil me if/when I go play older games.

I know barely any of the games are tied together, but I still want to play Tales of Berseria, Tales of Vesperia, maybe Tale of Xillia 1 & 2, and possibly eve tales of Zestiria and Graces F (despite not hearing stellar things about either of them).

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Was worried about having to buy the gold edition for $110 or waiting for a GOTY edition to get the full game. I just got done playing through Berseria (and played Vesperia in 2019) so I'm not sure if I'm ready to jump into another 80 hours Tales game just yet, but I'm also really looking forward to this. More so now.

Wich is the best Tales at this moment? Berseria? I want to play it but looks a little outdated...

The series is in a bit of a weird spot right now.

Tales of Berseria is the newest (story wise) but it's using the Zesteria engine and Zesteria was a PS3 game.
Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition is the newest entry in the series (by release date), but it's a remake of an Xbox 360 game using said old engine.

Tales of Zestiria - Alisha’s Story

I guess this means that ToA is pretty much a complete game unlike the Hideo Baba games which had incomplete parts.

Oh ya, that dlc was so horrible I repressed my memories of it.

I for one wouldn't mind story expansions if they're good and priced accordingly.

Tales of Vesperia had a new version with an extra character and story content.

This game doesn't have full VA right ? I saw some gameplay clip where the 2 MC had their mouths moving but no VA, looked incredibly dumb, I would have hoped for some VA dlc down the line.

After being announced at E3 2019 and pretty much disappearing until earlier this year, Bandai Namco's Tales of Arise is finally set to release on September 10th for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5 and PC.

Quite a lot has changed since the last title in the series, from the visual quality and scale of the world to the combat and skits. Let's take a look at 15 things you should know before buying.
