Game Informer Cover Reveal: Tales of Arise
- Thread starter JEH
- Start date
Oh i thought bandai namco only commented at scarlet nexus. Can you link me their comment re tales of arise?
Nevermind, you are right. Doubt this is game pass though, would be great if so though.
The Kindle version is finally out! I'm a little too tired to dive into any details from it, but a couple quick mentions are that they asked about a photo mode and were told it's not currently in the game, though it gave them something to consider adding. I thought I'd also share this quote because it made me want to vomit:
Of course without knowing the specifics I guess those random elements may be as inconsequential as Berseria's random weapon skills, so I guess it isn't that bad.

This game looks incredible. I've never played a Tales game before and Arise might have hooked me with just its image quality. Clearly a much higher budget has gone into this game and that move might pay off big time.
...and I don't get this box art thing. Both covers look standard JRPG to me. Some of y'all are hilarious.

Never. Tales has always been one of those JRPG series that's under the radar. NAMCO's been doing a great job of making sure that Arise gets far more attention than any of the previous games. I think the simultaneous worldwide release helps as well.
Will this version play in American PS4s? Will it have English voice acting and text?Asia region as well.

Also, will it be that much more pricey to buy with the extra shipping?
Yes, yes.
Depends on where you buy it I guess. Play-Asia currently has free shipping until the end of this month that applies to pre-order stuff as well, but it's slow.
Great, thanks. I'll definitely import when I'm ready to jump in. That NA cover is...bleh lol.
I remember the hype for Tales of Symphonia blew up after it made the cover of Nintendo Power.
I don't know if a gaming magazine will have the same impact in 2021, though.

really light to run. though this isn't comparable because it's a complete engine change, from their in-house engine to UE4. but UE4 is pretty scalable, so you'll probably be able to run it
Any known issues with prior PC ports? I just don't want to have to troubleshoot day one or wait for patches.
Symphonia needed a good number of them. but again, that was a completely different engine and they since gotten better with support. you're just gonna have to wait and see
Only the first two Zestiria and Symphonia had issues. Symphonia is capped to 30 and can't be uncapped. Zestiria was capped but can be unlocked. Berseria and Vesperia Definitive are both fine and the best way to play them.
In case you are ever wondering about how ports turned out just google the game name + pcgamingwiki. Bookmark the site too it's a must.
It was literally the deciding factor for me to go "eh I'll just get it digitally."
This cover is incredible. Why can't the game cover itself be that good?
Why is it that so often (in the west) game companies decide to purposefully put worse, less artistic compositions on the cover than what they could have? It's weird. Like there's no eye towards aesthetics.

Thanks.
Thanks. Definitely will do that.
Am I blind? What's the difference between these two listings besides price? I thought all these games had English.
I'm wary of buying the 2nd link with the "preliminary picture" in case they switch it back to the American cover for no reason (even though it's cheaper).

One is Asia (R3) and another is japan (R2). I think it'll be similar to other asia english release where they have alternate cover with japanese language and english language printed disc.
Ok so it'll be okay to get the cheaper Japanese one, it'll auto run in English on US PS4s and will have that import cover at worst, and the reversible cover with both versions at best?
Thanks btw.
As great as it looks, it would even look 100x better if they went all in with the cel shading like Vesperia, which was always praised for its visual style. I have no clue why Bamco abandoned it after one game, especially with how well received its aesthetic was.
Reversible cover is usually for Asia english release (asia release usually has 2 versions --- chinese and english). Also you got it backward, your link shows asia release as the cheaper one.
Monster Hunter? Lol not after world.
Tales could maybe join the success of Persona if the games hit hard and the word of mouth becomes as strong but I seriously doubt that any Tales for the foreseeable future(next 10 years) will hit 10+ million sales.
I wonder if Bamco will carry on their proud tradtion of level up and gald DLC packs for Tales games.
Last question, will I be able to access the dlc? Cause the link has a general disclaimer about a correct regional account may be needed for online feature.
Not the first time localized Tales games have gone with "cool action vibes!!!" for their covers, sadly.
I don't have the article on me at the moment, but they cited proportional concerns in that the characters are percevied to be smaller/younger than they actually are. This was definitely a shortcoming for Symphonia -- sensible, given the burgeoning tech of cel-shading and all that -- but I also thought they had it down pat with Vesperia.
Bamco usually region locked Tales DLC, so you gonna have to create asia PSN account (any Region 3 countries) to redeem them.
