Tales of Arise (テイルズ オブ アライズ, Target OSU Ariel) is an action-RPG video game developed and also edited by Banzai NAMC Amusement. He is part of the Tales of Collection. At first prepared for 2020 on computer, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the launch date of the game is lastly repulsed as a result of the CVIV-19 pandemic. The game was finally launched on September 10, 2022 and benefits in enhancement to PlayStation 5 and also Xbox Collection variations.

A respected video game franchise received a very necessary opportunity with the launch of one of the top 2021 role games. In a year in which the role-playing games felt few and distant from each other, talk of arise stood out as a game That not only lived up to the high standards of RPG fans, but also helped return relevance to the Tales of Franchise. While many other role games released this year failed to innovate ( biomutant ) or leaning greatly on nostalgia to tell an existing story (Bright diamond Pokémon and bright pearl), such of arise gave the fans a complex plot, fantastic characters and an intense combat.

Tales of Arise was the first standard video game of such of released in five years and represented a great step forward for the popular RPG franchise. While the diverse the games of the franchise have always received praise for complex stories and complete characters, recent deliveries have been stuck by the weight of their various systems in the game. Although the Tales of Titles continued to be popular in Japan, the series had become almost a niche franchise at an international level, which is probably the reason why fans had to wait so long for the next delivery of the franchise.

Tales of Arise tried to address some of these problems reducing and refining your systems in the game. While the linear movement battle system of the franchise remained intact, the combat focused mainly on two aspects: counteracting and ending enemies with powerful combos. The result was a system that presented explosive battles that required skill and strategy to complete. Of course, Talk of Arise remains a RPG, so systems such as fishing, animal husbandry and cuisine also had a unique place in the game, mainly to provide short-term benefits to group members.

The true culminating point of Talk of Arise is its history, which is developed on the twin planets Dana and Rena. Several hundred years before the start of the game, Rena conquered Dana using superior technology and turned the planet into the place of a strange contest to collect astral energy linked to several elements. Initially, players control former Slave Alp hen and Renal Shine's fugitive, who are trying to overthrow the five Renal leaders of Dana and finish the Crown contest once and for all. During the course of the game, talk of arise expand their main cast to a total of six characters, each of which has their own skills and their own deep baggage on the cruel system in which they have grown. It is easy for players to miss in Talk of Arise's story, especially because the game does not make any effort when it comes to showing how cruel the oppression systems could be and how difficult it is to overcome them after their collapse.

One of the most outstanding aspects of the franchise is that the games are almost always independent: each delivery can present similar game mechanics, but they tell tremendously different stories that do not require any prior knowledge to enjoy them. That is one of the reasons why talk of arise was such a refreshing experience to play. Players could explore a completely new world for the first time and developers could really try to build something different instead of repeating old stories on behalf of nostalgia and trusting fan's favorite characters to compensate for lack of innovation. Each story hit? Talk of Arise? Probably not, but at least the developers were empowered to create something tremendously different and completely own.

Tales of Arise was the best video game role-play released at 2021, and he was not even close. The game not only immersed you in a complex and tragic story, but the players met the two characters and challenged themselves into immense and epic fights of bosses. It is not very frequent that the players make juggling between fighting crazy swordsman and stems of a sensitive planet, but that is what he did Talk of arise. What other game can you face with the heartbreaking sequela of a life of psychological torture with good fishing and decisions about how to raise your cattle? With luck, Banzai NAMC will launch the next great game such of a little faster as Tales of Arise showed that the franchise remains relevant and a gold standard in an increasingly busy genre.
