I’ve played quite a few Tales of games and enjoyed them very much in the past. This game rarely felt like it had that same charm those games did for some reason. In the past the cast felt like a family and leaned on each other where I felt like this game the cast felt very bland. I liked the dark story in the beginning but as the game goes on I fell off the story hard and only kept playing because the combat was engaging. This game isn’t terrible, I just thought it was okay at best.
