I started playing this after recently finishing Clair Obscur. I'm only 2 hours in, but I just cant get into this boring generic anime slop. When does it get good? Has Expedition 33 completely ruined JRPGs now for me?

Kill yourself

Arise is a very middling game, never really "gets good". If you wanted the good Tales games, try Vesperia or Berseria.

slop

This is how I know you're a retard with no taste. The game is fucking awesome and the overused and annoying as fuck faggot term "slop" should only be reserved for shit that's actually low effort. Not:

thing I dislike is le slop

fuck you and everyone else using this fucking word

It gets good when you get to the fishing minigame. That's about it.

tales of arise

when does it get good

lol
lmao even

Has Expedition 33 completely ruined JRPGs now for me?

Unironically, Yes. You need to massively lower your expectations for JRPG's now. The major JRPG of the past were hits for their time, their decade, and it shows. Even recent additions like Metashit and P5, you'll need to lower your standards and expectations to get through them.

I like most of the Tales of series, but Arise is definitely one of the weakest in the series, unfortunately. If you're not enjoying it, that's totally understandable. I thought it was alright.

Berseria is the definition of mid

Lmao Arise gets WORSE the more you play it. I dunno what convinced you this was a good Tales game

Berseria is high concept with deep flaws, that's not mid.

Tales thread

Has great games that are absolutely worth playing. Play Tales of Vesperia, Symphonia, and then Abyss if you really liked those 2. After that, find a new JRPG franchise.

skipping team destiny games

It's over

arise

good graphics, least shit combat, terrible at everything else, mentally exhausting narrative

berseria

drags from the very first minute but good tits

vesperia

zoomoid writing, cringe dialogue and "macro" combat

this is simply a shit franchise and you should play something better like ni no kuni or dragon quest

graphics bro.jpg - 1920x1080, 911.55K

oh and berseria still has denuvo and you need specialK to unfuck the port so just.... fuck this franchise ok? they are not worth your time. fuck namco and their fat stinky greasy moms.

>zoomoid writing,

what does this mean

It doesn't. Its babies first generic action rpg. To call it a tales game would be an insult to even legendia. I've done everything but the dlc and I am not looking forward to how shit the next in the series will be.

this game was better than expedition 33

speech bubbles like these every 5 seconds

Yeah, Japan as a whole needs to grow up. It's us developed world's burden.

I still think about the ending from time to time
how they drop the ayyy lmao plot twist then the main bad guy who was dead but actually wasn't come out of nowhere just to have a final fight
like it's the most dogshit ending I have ever seen but the most memorable for how bad it is

This. There hasnt been a good JRPG from Japan in the last decade.

Persona 5 (not Royal) was passable

kill yourself. I love E33 but faggots like you are why people are seething about it so hard. tales of arise is shit and it never gets good, play an actual good jrpg, zoomzoom
you're an even bigger faggot than op, die you contrarian subhuman. Royal is the best part of p5, fucking loser

Royal is the best part of p5

"Let's waste another 10 hours of gameplay retelling the same lesson the player has already learned"
actual fucking garbage

play an actual good jrpg,

What would you recommend then?

REIGNING SLASH
REIGNING SLASH
REIGNING SLASH
REIGNING SLASH
REIGNING SLASH
REIGNING SLASH

why did that become a meme anyway? That's the worst way to play the game.

you have dogshit taste
not a definitive list by any means but off the top of my head:
ff7 (og) and ff10, ff9 is the best one but I wouldn't recommend making it your first ff game
suikoden 1+2
smt v vengeance
p4g or p5r, metaphor is good too but persona is better
romancing saga 2 remake
dragon quest xi
octopath traveler 2 (haven't finished it yet but playing it now and it's really great so far)

if you want an action combat jrpg play ys viii, it mogs tales of arise into fucking oblivion

Tales is Anime: the JRPG series.

bitchass has no argument he just wanted to waste more time accomplishing nothing
as expected of an FFIX worshiper

you don't like maruki and thus your opinion is worth less than an african negro

Maruki was just Yaldabaoth 2 "but this time he's nicer ;_;"

you are not white if you don't enjoy maruki. his 2 songs are the best songs in the entire game too

b-but the MUSIC ;_;

You will never be a woman.

first recommendation is ff7

calling anyone elses taste dogshit

Bait used to be believable

Lotr: The Third Age because its ff10 without the retarded grind, if you still want more after that and love grinding then ff10
FF6 is the only FF with a good story but ymmv on everything else with it
SMT 3: nocturne

More importantly you can't really go wrong with any jrpg that was made for the ps2 or ps3 and there's a lot of them, don't waste your time with persona 5 only the first month of the game is good everything after is a fucking trainwreck

not appreciating the music in persona

thinks his opinion is worth a fuck

again, you are not white

ff10

grinding

fucking LMAO, press ctrl+w and save the last shred of dignity you still have, faggot

I liked honkai starrail

also

recommends western game

promptly neck yourself, zoomzoom
nobody cares you goddamn monkey

I appreciate the music, but the best tracks were pre-Royal anyway. The Days When My Mother Was There and Life Will Change (Instrumental) are peak. Maruki's themes don't even make it to top 10 and certainly don't make up for the waste of time he bolted onto the story.

lets give every monster hyper armor

amazing

Not sure why people pretend the characters in E33 aren't shallow as a puddle.

t. Mexican with the worst taste imaginable

he didn't waste any time because he's a great character.

The entire "Tales of" series is mid, Berseria is just above the regular mid

you have no fucking idea what you're talking about claiming that ff10 is a grind, absolutely embarrassing

He's a fucking pussy that wasted everyone's time along with his boring as fuck easy palace

Have you played ReFantazio
tales of arse is mediocre

you're a fucking pussy that's wasting everyone's time right now

Maruki will never fuck you

those 'great' old jrpgs didnt age well either, they were only good for their time and because we were younger and everything seemed more exciting and fresh

the feeling is mutual, I'm not a homosexual like (you)

Sure got a lot of games for a mid series.

Tales games are generic anime slop though. Always have been. There is no better term to describe these games.

Nier Automata

larping as an intelligent being while describing a game with one word is amazing

Sorry zoomer but people care more about a frog in Chrono Trigger than they do about generic asian lady from french 33.

You're comparing to the most generic entry in the most generic JRPG series ever, retard.

Not enough Edna

Im older than you and played Chrono Trigger in the previous century, it wouldn't even get noticed if it was released today, take off nostalgia goggles

Before killing the 2nd lord then when you finally get all 4 party members so that you can use all 4 dpad buttons

tales succeeds

star ocean consistently fighting for its life, and losing

My friend just finished E33 and asked me what to play next, I said Nier Replicant (he's already played Automata) then BG3. He's really enjoying Replicant so far, going for ending C atm.

even with token elements it's well known sf is where rpgs go to die

My first console was Atari. E33 is mediocre as fuck. Millenials are bigger faggots than zoomers aswell

bg3

Kys, you are a terrible friend

post achievements and playtime for e33.

nooooo how dare you recommend "overwhelmingly positive" games instead of Tales of Generic Anime Shows

kek

tales is painfully mediocre, I'm not a fan and I wouldn't recommend it but bg3 is actually gay as fuck and has hideous girls, I'd choose tales any day.

I liked Tales of Arise, except for the final bit where Shionne's thorns were some lame monster. I honestly forgot what it was but it looked underwhelming and was a shit final boss. Still a good game. Alphen and Shionne are now my favorite Tales couple.

Good looking game.
Not a very good battle system.
Mediocre plot.
I hope the next game has a much better battle system and I also hope we get the Xillias soon.

Expedition 33 is the 4channiest game of all time. It's even 4channier than Pizza Tower. How did you expect Fails of Arise to compete? We've hated that game since it came out.

Agreed. All games suck with the exception of Expedition 33, which we all give a 10/10 and rate it as our GOTY and GOTD, and possibly GOAT. It's just so 4channy.

You've picked one of the worst Tales game. I mean it's an okay action game on its own (ignoring the final dungeon), but there are much better tales games. Like Berseria (you will like this if you liked E33) and Graces

Berseria wasn't bad. The combat is pretty damn fluid. I think it might be better than Graces just because it reduces a lot of the tedium there like ironstance.
