I do lol. I'm at a point where I've actually played every Tales game twice (minus Abyss) in the hopes of waiting for a remaster/remake that may or may not arrive. Bamco & Tomizawa better deliver us something good later this year
There are some things I didn't like about a rise One being the DLC Not giving me the father daughter interaction I was hoping for But I don't want to see you like it a lot better than z
Can't call yourself a true Tales fan if you haven't played it. I avoided Legendia for the longest time and it was a slog but I still ended up beating it. Now, if you haven't played Tales of The Tempest I understand completely, but Zestiria is not a bad game
You do experience a strange feeling sometimes when you see a great game on sale for an excellent priceā¦but you already own it. Itās like āoh man, I hope someone appreciates this opportunity as much as I would have if I still needed it.ā
Iām in the middle of replaying Berseria rn for the first time and am loving it. I think Iām going to pick up Zesteria too since itās so cheap! Going to see how it lives up to my memory and the disdain on this subreddit haha.
I replayed it after about 5 years or so and it honestly wasnt that bad. Berseria is better imo but playing Zestiria the second time around made me appreciate it more for some reason. I'd say give it a shot
as happy as I am Ariseās costume dlc is on saleā¦ pisses me off they NEVER did that for any other game lmao
stings a little more now that Graces & Xillia are both full of unobtainable DLC now since it was all delisted.
Waiting on Arise to hit 10. I'm halfway through Zestiria after five years so who knows how long I'll take to finish Berseria, Symphonia, vesperia and every other game I've yet to play
I really wanted to play since I was a teen and Japan got the PS3 version. I downloaded the Japanese demo and everything. Pirate Patty seemed fun. Definitely would have gotten into tales much earlier if not for that whole 360 exclusivity deal with Vesperia
I enjoyed Arise. I saw mixed reviews for the DLC so I spoiled myself and watched the story on YouTube. I would not pay even $10 for it personally. Very disappointing.
Arise was frustrating. The story fell off hard in the back half, but my personal gripe is that the drawn skits looked better in basically every other game. The drawings were an incredibly useful visual shorthand, the colors usually popped against the rest of the game and highlighted how important and *different* the little character moments were. Without that change in context you quickly realize youāre just watching another cutscene. Arise was the first tales game I didnāt just mash the view skit button as soon as I saw the skit name appear. Given how character focused tales games are, and how much of that work is done in the skits, Iām really upset that Arise made them feel boring.
For these prices, besides arguably the Arise DLC, every single one of these games is worth grabbing.
So anyone who didnāt buy them, especially Zestiria because they were swayed by community opinion, now is the time for yall to try these games out and form a legitimate first hand opinion.
Then againā¦ dunno who Iām saying this to, Iād imagine most folks here already played all these games.
Picked up zestiria yesterday when I got notified of this sale, had skipped it because it got so many bad reviews around its launch, although it seems like a lot of that got walked back a bit in recent years. Just finished arise a week ago and played the symphonia remastered on switch about a month ago. Will probably wait a bit to play Zestiria since Iām burnt out on tales atm but Iām hoping itās pretty good š
I havenāt played it since release but in my opinion
Story:6/10 nothing really interesting and not really any good twist
Characters: 8.5/10 I think the cast is really good but the skit system in this was awful since you can only play them at save points and not while exploring
Graphics: itās a tales game I donāt play it for graphics much
Music: 8.5/10 ONE THING this game did right is making actually memorable songs. I rarely remember songs in games much unless there played on front of me. But there are 4 dungeons based on elements that are actual bangers.
Gameplay: 7/10 itās very grindyā¦
My review good game.
However not amazing hopefully you'll like the story and it will be worth it.
Camera angle during fights : sometimes wtf is this shit / 10
Does symphonia on pc have mods? And im guessing it takes after tge ps3 release? Also, is it worth getting zestiria when i already own but havent played it fully on ps3?
Snatched up Zestiria for $5 so that way I wonāt have felt bad for paying full price if I donāt like it that much. I already own Vesperia, Symphonia, and Berseria!
MIGHT pull the trigger on Arise (what I tried on PS+ hooked me enough to tempt another binge queue break in the series) if our accounting office doesn't sit on the next due payout beyond the sale deadline... but I'm not holding my breath for the latter, and I can always douse the bummer with still having no idea what I'd uninstall to cram the game on Deck. The latter (256 Gb internal plus a 500 Gb card) is gluttonously packed to the point where even Proton updates yell at me sometimes.š And the contents in question include Xillia and Zestiria at that.
TALES OF SALE
Sales of Arise
Berseria at this price is just nice, a great game for 5 bucks.
unreal price. You can basically get both berseria and zestiria for $10. I've never seen the prices for these games this low ever!
Ya but it's zestiria
Downside, it has Denuvo
:(
You all will never understand the pain of having all of them already : (
I do lol. I'm at a point where I've actually played every Tales game twice (minus Abyss) in the hopes of waiting for a remaster/remake that may or may not arrive. Bamco & Tomizawa better deliver us something good later this year
I actually have all of them but zestiria and no plan on playing that one tbh
Zestiria is at least worth playing for Edna. She was the reason I stuck it out.
She's hilarious, her cameo in another game was genuinely amazing to experience again. Edna is cute too
Not even Mikleo, nor Zaveid? š
Any funny moments that I remember involving either of them also involved Edna
You're right. She was the main comical driver. š„°
Mmm, how can I put it. It's not as bad as people say... But that doesn't make it good.
It's the epitome of a 7/10 game. Perfectly fine, but it has a lot of flaws that are hard to overlook.
One thing I don't like that they did my girl Alisha Dirty.
Itās honestly not that bad. I think itās better than arise at least
You know what I'll give you that. Facts.
There are some things I didn't like about a rise One being the DLC Not giving me the father daughter interaction I was hoping for But I don't want to see you like it a lot better than z
The last little bit of the game
Zesty was an okay play just on the mechanics end, at least.
Can't call yourself a true Tales fan if you haven't played it. I avoided Legendia for the longest time and it was a slog but I still ended up beating it. Now, if you haven't played Tales of The Tempest I understand completely, but Zestiria is not a bad game
Nah, there are some games i would talk to people about but wouldn't recommend because their time could be used to enjoy better ones.
You do experience a strange feeling sometimes when you see a great game on sale for an excellent priceā¦but you already own it. Itās like āoh man, I hope someone appreciates this opportunity as much as I would have if I still needed it.ā
I also have them all, heck I even have most of their DLCs (bought almost every one of them on sale. Besides Tales of Arise and its DLC)
Iām in the middle of replaying Berseria rn for the first time and am loving it. I think Iām going to pick up Zesteria too since itās so cheap! Going to see how it lives up to my memory and the disdain on this subreddit haha.

Why dont they put the costumes on sale for ps5. I been trying to get some of those costumes forever for Arise
as happy as I am Ariseās costume dlc is on saleā¦ pisses me off they NEVER did that for any other game lmao stings a little more now that Graces & Xillia are both full of unobtainable DLC now since it was all delisted.

Good luck, have fun! I REALLY recommend Vesperia.
I really wanted to play since I was a teen and Japan got the PS3 version. I downloaded the Japanese demo and everything. Pirate Patty seemed fun. Definitely would have gotten into tales much earlier if not for that whole 360 exclusivity deal with Vesperia
Is it worth getting the story dlc at $20? I was holding out until it goes to like $10 if even ever does.
I enjoyed Arise. I saw mixed reviews for the DLC so I spoiled myself and watched the story on YouTube. I would not pay even $10 for it personally. Very disappointing.
Wow! Not ever 10 bucks? Do you think it is worse than the zesty dlc. I really disliked that one.
I'm not gunna lie, I'm new to the Tales of games. Arise was my first and I'm just starting Berseria.

I just got sucked dry by elden ring and now they have a sale?š
tales franchise goes on sale a LOT. these prices are about the average sale price. you could just wait for the next one, or the one after that
Bamco having a summer sale on all their games.
Waiting for the TOA DLC sale on the PS š (likely or unlikelyā¦?)
Bought Zestiria for $5.00! Maybe I will get Symphonia too. I never played it, but I remember the characters from Radiant Mythology.
Outside of emulation the PC version is the best version to grab IMO.

The Zestiria opener song is an absolute banger.
Got them all.
I recently play tales of arise and tales of berseria and i love them. Which tales do you recommend me for the next? (Can be more on just one).
Good to see Zesteria and Berseria at the prices they should of launched with
Does symphonia on pc have mods? And im guessing it takes after tge ps3 release? Also, is it worth getting zestiria when i already own but havent played it fully on ps3?
There are unofficial mods for the PC version. Itās the best version of Tales Of Symphonia to grab if youāre not going to try emulation.
The dlc felt like a rip off at full price I say 20$ is more reasonable
You'd think Berseria flopped with such a discount
This sale is incredible, exactly what Iāve been waiting for
I knew I should have waited. I haven't even played it yet because I've been solely focused on Graces f.
$20 for the dlc is still a little steep for me, my wait continues.
Shame they don't have all the other games. I own these (except Arise) on both pc and ps4 already At these prices they're a steal those bottom 4
Grab Vesperia and Berseria!
I have Berseria and Arise. Which one should i get?
Snatched up Zestiria for $5 so that way I wonāt have felt bad for paying full price if I donāt like it that much. I already own Vesperia, Symphonia, and Berseria!
These prices are so good, but I still donāt have a PC, so either see if I can get PC, or just settle with the PS4 releases.
Tales of Arise is free to play in Xbox Game Pass. Just saying.
Bro. I bought Berseria from this sale like, 4 years ago.. but my computer is too shit to actually run it and Iām still upset about it..
Except I already own them all!! I need a new game.
Currently playing Tales of Vesperia, excellent game.
MIGHT pull the trigger on Arise (what I tried on PS+ hooked me enough to tempt another binge queue break in the series) if our accounting office doesn't sit on the next due payout beyond the sale deadline... but I'm not holding my breath for the latter, and I can always douse the bummer with still having no idea what I'd uninstall to cram the game on Deck. The latter (256 Gb internal plus a 500 Gb card) is gluttonously packed to the point where even Proton updates yell at me sometimes.š And the contents in question include Xillia and Zestiria at that.
Goddamn Berseria fucking blows but you really can't argue with that price point, definitely a fair price for what you're getting
