This is probably one of the most exhausting games I've played in my entire life. The game its self is pretty weak, a really weak cast with some exceptions, a pretty boring story in the first half and the worst character in the franchise getting driven to a whole new level of awful in the second. The combat is pretty much just the bare basics too, and it gets SUPER repetitive too. And then the credits roll.

...And the game then goes on and doubles its length. And because of dumb localization, the second half of the game isn't even dubbed, so yeah, say goodbye to voice acting outside of special situations. The story honestly improves a bit since now at the end of the game it decides the characters should start to actually have things going on now, but I hope you enjoy backtracking to previous dungeons ONLY outside of the final one, which is just a boss rush of recolored enemies. I don't think any of this game is worth playing, even for Tales veterans, it's boring at best and exhausting at worst. Soundtrack is pretty solid though.
