Maybe I'm playing the wrong Tales games? I keep finding the combat mind numbingly tedious, where all you have to do is keep mashing the attack button senseless. The characters could not be more one dimensional and the overall world just hardly interesting. The very fabric of this game screams "generic anime jrpg". Like with Symphonia I have little to no motivation to keep going...

A nice mix of old school aesthetics and gameplay with modern sensibilities. Not too hard but neither too easy, meele combos are the my jam in shmups. I highly recommend this one...
