This was my First "Tales of" game, and the one I was most interested for a long time.

The plot of the game is one I engaged right away with the sudden bad turn in Velvet's life, making her from a sweet caring sister, into a vengeful angry person with just Revenge on her mind. I loved how she changes through a slow pace development, still without changing her mind on her main objective, as she connects in her own way with the rest of the cast. Whose are a bunch of misfits with their own reason for following her, instead of actually being her friends(most of them) I loved how their dynamic evolves close through friendship in it's own way.
Is a bittersweet story, making me laugh and cry tons of times, more with how much I ended loving Velvet. I really want her to be happy. Even after finishing the game, I was affected with the ending, it was perfect for this game.
The combat is fun, with the Break soul being a powerful yet balanced dynamic that requires practice in high difficulties, is awesome reach to dominate each character and unlock more artes.
It's also full of extra content, practically a love letter to tge 20 years of the series, specially with lore and world building.

I actually consider it one of my favorites games of all time, really can't stop reccomending it enough, as well thinking about Velvet.
