Wasn't too wowed, but I got distracted by another game and dropped this too quick to really get a feel for it. I liked what I played but felt like it was dragging a lot, and I want to go back and finish it eventually.

My favorite Tales game
First tales I played, feathers can suck it
Even if I have problems with the not well established protagonist, a couple plot elements that were never elaborated on as much as I wanted them to be, couple of annoying characters (Shut up Agria), couple of dumb character designs (puts some clothes on Pressa holy shit) and a lot of the dungeons being quite repetitive, I couldn't bring myself to give it 3 stars.
There is just something so charming about these cast of characters that make me smile whenever I see them, and they are so varied it's insane: a do-gooder doctor, a lord of spirits, an enigma of a mercenary, an innocent girl with a rude doll, a wise butler strategist and a happy go lucky girl who reeks of sunflowers. It's not as varied as Tales of Berseria's cast but it took me by surprise.
The villain's themselves I felt at first were power hungry generics as usual but I am glad that wasn't the case.
I liked how the plot unfolded too, and the circumstances surrounding events that transpire, especially towards the end, are hella interesting. Even if I don't really fully understand what they're going for with Jude, there is a specific moment with his and everyone's character that was really well executed at giving a sense of despair.
I am not a one for enjoying real time JRPG combat since I am more after the longer adventurous stories these games like to offer. However the combat here was quite fun and varied; the linked arts were hella satisfying to pull off and I love how it encourages/rewards you to memorise them.

It has Alvin so it's automatically five stars.
Jokes aside, this was a pretty good game. The characters, music, story, and world were top-notch and I just generally enjoyed the vibe.

Excellent starting point if you want to get into the series (and you can find a copy). Great cast, fantastic battle system and a plot that keeps you engaged right until it stumbles at the finish line.
A solid RPG all around. The Tales of series is always quite solid in terms of gameplay and world building. Story was decent, nothing mindblowing. But I certainly had a great time doing almost everything the game had to offer.
My first Tales of game and it was so good
Love this game and it's characters. Very fun, entertaining story. Give it a try if you like jrpgs.
I still listen to the opening it's a banger
The cast definitely carries this game, but that's not a bad thing. Worldbuilding and combat are also pretty good. Gaius is a super strong villain as well, one of the best in the series.
Nunca jugué un juego tan pero tan bueno
Buenos pj, buena historia, buen plot, buen final

One day I'll actually play this
Wonderful game with the greatest RPG battle system there is, which is the Star Ocean/Tales style active RPG thing, but this adds combos on top of it making it even better. The story is whatever, who cares. The little cutscenes are cool and... Milla's boobs and cute JRPG hero named Jude. Looking forward to playing Xillia 2 someday.
Great story with great characters and a great battle system. Great music too. Also I really love the art style of this game.
I love mostly everything about this game but it's been shelved since I needed to backtrack to get certain items to beat a boss. I wasn't willing to backtrack at the time years ago so I never finished the game. I do know how it ends since I watched a letsplay on YT (It's how I first knew about the game)
While an enjoyable game, the game is just full of glaring flaws in both story and gameplay (too many to even name on here). The biggest strengths the game has are the world building, the chemistry of the main crew and a select few characters have some decent character work.
This is a great entry in the series! The characters are great, the story is good, the combat is great, but still not as good as Berseria's combat. You can do different unique things with the combat in this game, some good, some not as good.
The cast is great, the villains are also great and overall this is just a fun game to play.

it was fine i think a lot of the minor story things were really really good but the major story needs a huge revamp from the traditional tales formula. i did like the combat though
