the game was pretty solid and i think the story had a degree of depth, but nothing too crazy. it definitely shows its age in quality of life areas and dungeon design (especially encounter rate) but plays pretty well considering it came out 30 years ago.

it's pretty cool to see a game take place in the same universe as symphonia, even though that game out a while after. the time travel thing was pretty cool, and though characters lack a degree of depth, i think that's partly because they are actually like 3x3 pixels with mostly combat focus

genuinely one of the most frustrating games i've ever played, story is super convoluted and the emotional beats albeit good are spoiled by the realization that they just could have made the game that good. the cast from xillia 1 seems to be set aside in favor of a lame self insert and i don't like being hit with 18 status ailments every combat. combats feel like they're DESIGNED to be annoying, unfortunately . debt mechanic sucks, though the premise was promising

phenomenal game phenomenal story the things they changed from fes were all mostly positive and qol and felt so incredibly good they did really good making the cast even more intimate than the og and yeah this was one of the best experiences ever play this please

please let me release personas from the velvet room

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

combat was very frustrating and seemed worse than predecessors just do to how much animation lock there was, the story and ending were a bit generic but i overall had a fine time...a lot of the good story points were spread out throughout and the ending didn't really hit though

really enjoyed the combat system, fast paced and a lot more interactive than other tales games. there was some cliche but overall i liked the story even though i wish some ends were tied up a bit better towards the end, but overall a good game

i really wish i liked this one more, but still pretty cool concept but the ending felt not as great as i'd want despite the rest of the story being relatively strong. i think the combat is definitely a step up from symphonia era but still nothing crazy, but fof changes are a pretty cool addition. most of end game was just walking back and forth and sometimes there were WAY too many skits

my shit back in middle school but probably not that great

you will not find a better party game

the fact these pc servers are still up in 2023 is proof this game is peak and the combat system is sick

movement a little too crazy but still liked it a lot

didn't mind the movement stuff i thought it was refined pretty well after advanced warfare
