This review contains spoilers
this review is artifically most positive as I played the entire game in 3 player/4 players
Tales seems to fall into "Decent stories, great cast." and this game falls right into the complete part of this puzzle.
The story is simple a vassel for the characters. There's nothing special here. If anything I think the internal conflict between characters should of been more of the focus than Alexei and Duke because they are pretty nothing villains.
I know people probably love Flynn but him and Estelle are definitely weak-links in this game. Flynn purely exist to conflict Yuri, and doesn't really seem to have any underlying motivations. A little too simple for me as a character. (Tales of Vesperia First Strike fixes this issue)
Estelle is just very. safe. Also them walking up to her in the orb and she's just like no u guys should just leave me here was kinda weird given her character development going against it.
But Yuri/Patty/Karol/Rita are pure gold here. Raven is great when he's serious and Judith is alright.
Karol's so raw. Destructo Pain Shot? Reaper Knot? First-Aid Smash? Rolling Revolution? what can this fucker not do. He's got a great arc as well.
Yuri's so cool he's never wrong (thats a bad thing) because they forgot the part of a two-sided conflict where Flynn should be right at some point they should have yuri kill someone whos neutra OH WAIT YAEGER oops
and you might say freelia you seem negative
i love the combat. i love karol yuri rita and patty. whos talking for most of the game.
Yeah. enough said. I win.
